Yes, it is. And that's why I am stating it here, so that you and anyone else who's interested can know what my opinion is, robbie. We make our business the business of whoever reads it when we choose to debate on a forum like this.

going to the gym benefits no one but yourself

I never claimed it was my scenario was 'workable', those were your words not mine. Iwas shwoing you how your statement was wrong.

that was in practice, you theory concerns not only you but the entire populace.

I was showing you how exercise benefits not only the person exercising but society at large also.

Do you agree or disagree that statement is true?

The claim that unpaid voluntary work is linked to "blood sacrifice" is your claim, robbie, not my claim. You explain your claim, don't expect me to explain it.

on no FMF, its clearly stated in the Bible, its not mine FMF, i did not write it, and soo,
here we have an instance of you deriding others for performing a work which you are
unable or unwilling to state, what is the nature of that work and how it correlates to
their understanding of their religious convictions. Its termed prejudice FMF and is quite
unsavoury coming from such an all encompassing liberal like yourself, yes, very
unsavoury indeed.

its in the Bible FMF, you were shown the text three times and could not even bring
yourself to openly and honestly acknowledge that such was the case, in what sense is
it linked FMF, you have derided the idea, in what sense is it therefore linked.

in theory it would be true, in practice, unworkable unless you impose exercise on the
populace, then it would be a brilliant idea.

I am not permitted to be disappointed by the way you use a religionist prism to frame an ordinary decent thing like voluntary service as personal "sacrifice" without me being accused of being "unsavoury" and "prejudiced"?

The fact that it is in the Bible does not justify your mindset in my mind. The way you have explained how you see yourself - the "sacrifice" you are claiming to be making when doing voluntary work - is unimpressive to me, regardless of what is written in the Bible.

how do you know its solely viewed as a personal sacrifice, have you even considered
that there could be other layers to it, have you FMF, have your really?

my mindset FMF, mmm, yet you are unable to state what is the nature of the
correlation between sacrifice and evangelism which forms my mindset FMF, seemingly
content to view it as one dimensional

I am responding to the claims you have made on this thread. I have never used the word "solely". This is a word that you are now using. I haven't used it.

In theory? Rob, there are countless people nationwide who get off their arses and go to the gym or play sports or whatever they do to keep themselves fit and healthy thus reducing the burden on the NHS.

Exercise is not just beneficial to the indvidual, but to society at large.
