[Professor Bessemer]

Actually Brothers, it is Scientheistically referred to as The Blindness. All serious diseases that affect the unsaved should have the word 'The' in front of them. The AIDS, The Diabetes, The Cancer, etc. The flu is right on the line, as it does often cause death in the unsaved.

A cold, a bellyache, a hangnail etc. are used to refer to minor afflictions that affect both True Christians™ and the unsaved.

Using a 'The' in front of a minor affliction can signify a more intense version of said problem. For instance, some future True Christians™ may experience a touch of acne in their formative years. But many unsaved teens suffer from virulent forms of The Acne.

[Nobar King]

How do you think blind people read smilies? Do they just get the text version? That could be really confusing.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Here’s an invention for the blind that would apparently be really useful, however, it does have drawbacks.



Top Invention #5 – Camera for the Blind

The new Touch Sight Camera now makes it possible for the visually impaired to actually take photographs. As the photographer holds the camera up to his or her forehead, a Braille-like screen makes a raised image of whatever the lens sees. In addition, the camera records three seconds of sound after each image is taken, so that the impaired-vision user can navigate through libraries of saved pictures. Other aspects of picture-taking, while handled differently by the blind are very manageable. For instance the visually-impaired have no problems estimating distances, since their sense of hearing is especially acute. Every rustle of wind in the trees can catch their attention and can be used to judge their proximity to their subject. Other senses come into play as well. The heat of the sun or a lamp in a living room, for example signals a direct source of light.

Landover tested one of these on that blind chink woman from Landover Laundry (You know the one – the woman who always gives you the wrong clothes.). She confirmed that it gave a relief image on her forehead.

All went well until Nephew Zebulun took a “photograph” of a set of knives and she stabbed herself in the head viewing it.

I think it is a sign from God that He does not want the blind to see, except if He restores their sight.

[James Hutchins]

That camera is great!
Was it invented in India? That would explain that 'dot'.

If a blind guy took a picture of a fist, would it knock him out?

How long do the dents in the forehead last?

Do you have to shake the person like you do with an 'Etch-A-Sketch' to erase the image?

[Spheres of My Madness]

All I have to say is, Wow, I'm glad that I am an enlightened person. And no, I'm not talking about the Almighty Jesus

[MozartEnthusiast]

For one thing, I'm a woman not a man. For another, what type of Christians are you if you believe God places conditions on who he loves and who he doesn't? Those are the most counter-Christian attitudes I've ever heard in my life. You are far from perfect, and you've got another thing coming if you think you're God's best gift to this world.

I'd suggest you uneducated folks do some reading. Blind people can use a piece of technology called a screen reader, and it reads the screen aloud so we can study and read exactly like you arrogant idiots can. Just for your information, there is something called a braille display which can also be used if desired. If I wanted to invest in this device, I would be able to read all this trash with my fingers, using the braille code.

You all are thoroughly disgusting. When I first went on this site, I was seeking love and acceptance. If you people think you are reflecting God's image with your hateful words, you are completely and utterly mistaken.

P.S. I'm not a cripple. I can walk just fine.

[MozartEnthusiast]

When I first wasted my time replying to this post, I thought I was going to get some responses that reflect the ability to think critically or in other words use your brains. I got quite the opposite. In fact, I would be surprised if any of you who replied to my post even have a university or college education. Educated people do not speak, and do not hate, like you prejudiced folks.

Are you claiming that all smart people are mutes? Are you some kind of a cripple supremacist or something? Jesus has already broken your eyes, I'd stop needlessly provoking Him if I were you.

I happen to have a double Masters (Organic Chemistry, Business/Finance)from Princeton, does that count?

You know Brother Temperance, I was thinking the same thing but I discounted it as no one can be that much of a moron. LOL, I am far from a mute!

That accounts for a lot. Does your husband know you are posting here? If you have any questions about God, you should refer to him first.

For another, what type of Christians are you if you believe God places conditions on who he loves and who he doesn't?

We do not impose any restriction on God, that would be blasphemous! Here is a short list of some of the people God hates:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Those are the most counter-Christian attitudes I've ever heard in my life.

That is because you know nothing –absolutely nothing – about Christianity.

You all are thoroughly disgusting.

Gal. 4:16: Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

P.S. I'm not a cripple. I can walk just fine.

Well how has God cursed you then?

She claims that God has given her spastic eyes so she gets a tiny Jap robot to read the forums to her. Frankly, I find this implausible, and think it's more likely that she can see perfectly well, and is just possessed by a demon that makes her pretend to be blind. The unsaved are a strange lot, that's for sure.

[Simon1992]

I think it's about time some propper logic was brought in here.
I have been blind since the day of my birth. I started learning how to read and write in braille when I was five years old. Braille is nothing more than a tactile equivalent to print, and each dot patern corresponds to a symbol in print. If any one of you ever bothered to take a bit of time out of your day and read a single article on braile, you would know this.
Oh, and just for your information, I read braille with my right hand, not my left.
Also, 66+6 is not 666, it's 72. I think someone needs to take their first grade math class again.

Let's see, I'm sure there was something else....oh yes, screen readers. A screen reader is simply a computer program that runs on my system, and reads the information on my screen (including smilies). I can't determine the exact details of images posted up here, but thankfully, the smilies are all labeled so I can read them.
Oh, and one other thing. Someone posted a message suggesting that blind people were all faking their blindness and using their canes to communicate in morse code.

Firstly, I don't even *know* morse code. Secondly, I don't tap my cane, I actually sweep it in front of me from left to right, and if you ever closely examined a blind person tapping their cane, you would notice that it was in a regular patern (left, right, left, right). This patern helps a blind person see what is in front of them, since their cane will hit it hopefully before they do. Again, something anyone who had researched this even slightly would know. And thirdly, if a doctor diagnoses someone with an eye condition and determines that they are blind, does that still mean they are faking their blindness? Because in 99% of cases, that is what happens. Or are you going to say that the doctors are possessed by demons, just like all the blind people.
You know what? I think you're all a bunch of idiots who are trying to scare similar idiots. I think that you need to learn to accept people who aren't *exactly* like you, and you need to do five minutes of research before you start making idiots of yourselves on public forums. This is simple logic.
Oh, and a piece of braille paper can be made to say anything, if you braille the dots properly and connect them. Think about it...give it that entire .1% brain power you have left. Braille dots can be arranged any way you want. You could make it say anything from "Burn in hell" to "I like chocolate ice cream", and all you'd need to do is connect the dots. Do I need to start brailling things out and attach images?
By the way, before you can find something wrong with this, I'm perfectly happy being blind. If someone came up to me and offered me my sight back, I would refuse, always with the knowledge in mind that although I may not be the most inteligent person in the world, there are people who are far beyond idiotic. And quite a number of them frequent this forum.

Jesus made the blind see - so, you would refuse Jesus' gift?

We get Homosexuals here too - they always seem to cling on to their gay lifestyle and are difficult to convert to being normal. What is it with you people?

You are not a Christian are you? I think you are a horrible atheist.

[Simon1992]

I'm not the only one reading this. I've now put this link up on my facebook, which has over 100 blind people reading this, including my girlfriend and many close friends of mine. If you like, I can get them all out here, and I could even spread this link all over the internet. Just watch me. I don't think any of them would be too happy to see this. Not to mention all the sighted people who know, or even know of, other blind people.

I did want to thank you though, for making me feel much better about myself. I've never thought much of my own intelligence, but reading this really boosts my self esteem.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

I cannot see that you need any self-esteem - as a woman, that should come through, and only through your father or husband.

1st Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1st Corinthians 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1st Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

So Jesus teaches loving and caring.

But he makes people go blind?
How does that work?

You are lying about your blindness! You can see just as well as us. If you were blind you woul have no concept of "connecting the dots" to spell out words. Furthermore, even if you had a screen reader, they cannot read attachments, let alone abstractly-constructed words like on the braille sheet.

You cannot view the attachment yet you admitted you have. You are a liar.

The Lord finds the Blind offensive. He cured a few so as to show His Awesome Power but most remain blind for some sin they committed or a sin their parents or grandparents committed.

Exodus 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

"The Lord will smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish…The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the hemroids, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart” -Deuteronomy 28:15-28

2Sa:5:8: And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

Le:21:16: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Le:21:17: Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Le:21:18: For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
Le:21:19: Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
Le:21:20: Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

I was informed of this thread by Simon1992, who put it up on his Facebook. At the time that I saw the first message, I was not quite aware of just how stupid and purely ignorent you zealots are. Now that I have read everything, I truly know. First, let me say that I am blind, and have been since birth. I need not repeat what Simon said. I think his message somed everything up. Rather, I shall add to it. Does not the fact that you delete the accounts of those who disagree with you prove what true cowards you are? Rather than engaging in an intellectual debate, you ban them, proving that you are truly terrified of the truth. And let me add that apparently you know nothing of computer science, for if you did, you would know that it is perfectly possible for screenreaders to read anything on the screen. I can't see the pictures, but they have labels, so I can, in a sense, know what the images are. If you wish, I can put up a download link in which I demonstrate the screenreader I use. But it is most likely that I will be banned before that can happen, because you are so terrified of the truth, which is that blind people are just as good as sighted people. And one more thing. Why would Simon and me and others lie about being blind, especially in an environment where we are mocked and treated like dog droppings?
