RELIGION - what? LET'S UNITE AGAINST SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES!

[M00ndragon69]

Blue Eyes, you do know I am only half serious..But, though we really do need some new board members here. A lot of them.


And I agree with GTACA

[Wii fit man]

Yea sure, let's get those conservatives, who cares about the original topic

[gtaca2005]

Whoa...

I go to sleep for a few hours and I change the name of the thread.

I feel like a douche, this is the second thread title I changed.

[Kelly MacCornmac]

Sorry for repling to an old quote but...

And one more thing..It is really easy for all of you to sit, and go back and forth criticising other's beliefs, when most people here share your opinion. I think me and Mike are the only ones who have the balls to say they disagree. Well, how big are your balls? Lets see you guys go have your little debates on a hardcore fundamentalist Christian site. Like God Hates homosexuals..Or better, yet, a hardcore Fundamentalist Muslim message board. Where you guys would be the minority, and possibly dealing with some really nasty people. It doesn't take many balls to just sit here, saying the same bullsh*t over and over about self deception, and how do we know what is moral, and blah, blah, blah..It doesn't take any balls to preach to the choir.

This is not an atheist equivalent to GodHatesFags. Maybe there is one out there, but it is not here. Us atheists might challenge or criticize your belief but that doesn't make us as bigoted as them. You should really follow your own advise and go to their forums yourself.

[M00ndragon69]

You still pissed? That quote was like, so last week..

I think you misunderstood what I meant. So I will dumb it down for you. Ok I do not think this board is an atheist version of GodhatesFags. But it is very obvious that Mike and I are the only non atheists who ever reply in this thread. The reason why I commented on that is I think it is very easy for you guys to write your opinion when you know the majority of people agree with you. Some of your comments on religion, well, if you said them on a board where there where more people who strongly disagreed with you, and said so, how would you handle it? If what I say on here pisses you off so much, how would you handle what someone would say who actually believed you were going to burn in Hell for not believing as you did, and maybe wouldn't mind sending you there? Not just some Christian like Mike who doesn't agree with you, but someone who actually is a mean person, would try to turn the whole board against you, and would say mean things? People keep on saying that this is only the internet, and people shouldn't take what is said on a message board so seriously, but I have seen tons of evidence that shows that what people "should" do and what they actually do are two different things. If things I have said on here didn't bother you in some way, you wouldn't be bringing it up. I mean, you are aware that SS and I get along on Facebook, right? And what is said on here between me and him are just pointless arguements we are making cause we are bored? I understand that you frustrated that not many people in your offline life share your beliefs, and I know things you read about religion anger you..But seriously, chill out.

That's probably one of the most ridiculous things I have read in my entire life, Congratulations, You have the mind of a 3 year old.

[Kelly MacCornmac]

Why do you interpenetrate everything I say as pissed? I'm not pissed. I was just pondering over it for no reason a few hours ago. Asides from that I was bored.

As for the hell tidbit... well I am bringing the smores. And get to see some of the coolest bands. I'll get used to punishment and the heat (or cold). And really constant death in hell sounds like fun. You can do anything you basically wish down there. I'd rather be in hell than in heaven anyways :p.

If things I have said on here didn't bother you in some way, you wouldn't be bringing it up

It's called boredom.

I mean, you are aware that SS and I get along on Facebook, right? And what is said on here between me and him are just pointless arguements we are making cause we are bored?

Not really go on there much, really. I don't see it being completely pointless, but I also come here when I'm bored. I might be a bit more serious about it, but that doesn't mean we can't get along :/.

I understand that you frustrated that not many people in your offline life share your beliefs, and I know things you read about religion anger you..But seriously, chill out.

Willing to debate and wanting to does not mean I am pissed. I am actually pretty mellow and most things said here haven't pissed me off in the slightest.

Also, Why does everything have to turn into SUCH a competition?

I say keep your beliefs, And don't tell anyone else is wrong, and try and prove that they are wrong, No one's wrong, No one's right, Everyone is clueless.

[Big-Will]

I'm surprised you replied to the same post twice. You could have just edited your first reply, you know?

[Wii fit man]

*Claps* Good job guys, this thread is going flamewar again

So I will dumb it down for you

That's like the third time you've said that, it sounds so elitist, it's starting to annoy me. Sorry.

. But it is very obvious that Mike and I are the only non atheists who ever reply in this thread.

And? This thread has gone down in traffic since the non atheists like JP have gone anyway.

The reason why I commented on that is I think it is very easy for you guys to write your opinion when you know the majority of people agree with you.

But I don't care about that, if anyone who isn't stupid (You're not, don't worry) disagrees with me, I feel stupid and embarassed

If what I say on here pisses you off so much,

I'm actually the only one pissed here. It's not only at you though.

, how would you handle what someone would say who actually believed you were going to burn in Hell for not believing as you did, and maybe wouldn't mind sending you there?

I don't know about her, but I would say he's an idiot.

would try to turn the whole board against you

We went through that already, Kmac probably handled it best of all

People keep on saying that this is only the internet, and people shouldn't take what is said on a message board so seriously,

I disagree with them, to me the 'net is like a real place and I try my best not to upset people

That's probably one of the most ridiculous things I have read in my entire life, Congratulations, You have the mind of a 3 year old.

Blue eyes, you're not helping

As for the hell tidbit... well I am bringing the smores. And get to see some of the coolest bands. I'll get used to punishment and the heat (or cold). And really constant death in hell sounds like fun. You can do anything you basically wish down there.

You're kinda f*cked up, you know that?

Also, Why does everything have to turn into SUCH a competition?

I don't think it was

[Michaeloptv]

First off, I hate all this competition sh*t!!

Second off, I am not a fan of Obama. I'm sorry if I don't agree with his pratices, and believe he is INDEED a socialist!

Even though I am a Democrat at heart, I do have conseverative views, it's called the RIGHT of being an independent in our society!

I also feel bad for all those on this site who are athiest and don't know the true meaning of faith.

I do partially blame the internet for the chaning of the guards so to speak. Even in my life about changing the path of where my mind always is. I feel as if the internet has "dummed" me, but it is too powerful and so I use it now all the time!

Finally I just wished people (ESPECIALLY our own CONGRESS) actually one day READS the bills they are about to pass on our own behalf. Otherwise, I would rather have people use a monthly polling booth to vote on these issues ourselves. Maybe put it online, and let's dissembar Congress! Because it seems as if they don't know Sh*t about anything anymore, and only care about themselves.

For Christ Sakes, All Pelosi wanted was her own private plane, and All others want these days is the power to go around *Men* and say....
"I'm powerful, now have sex with me!'

This is what our country now sees as normal...it's called insanity!!

[Pip Tweek]

I just came in to comment on the thread title change.
Funny stuff.

Now I'll duck out again, and leave the competition, flame-warring, and anger where it left off.

Can't you just feel the love in the air?

I think we all need to just be like, "HEY! Everyone shut up, let's get together nicely, and unite against Social Conservatives!"

That would be awesome.

Alrighty then.

Ask and you shall receive

Obama a Socialist? No, I think I am more of a Socialist, and I'm not even half of a real Socialist.

Faith.

1 a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions
2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust
3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs <the Protestant faith>
synonyms see belief

— on faith : without question <took everything he said on faith>

I agree with you on reading the bills. But the Republicans are doing a worse job at it. They keep talking about euthanasia and sh*t! NOT in the bill!

[Michaeloptv]

Yep Gta....that's faith!

Do you have any??
(for a conversational purpose).

[gtaca2005]

Nope. None at all.

Call me twisted or what ever, but I am a naturalist... I believe the world's happenings are random, and I rely on statistics to form an "educated opinion". I can never be sure, but basing your opinions on known facts and stats gives you more comfort in your position.

Like with the health care issue. Look into the DEMOCRATIC Socialist countries. Socialism has many faces, and it isn't evil.

I'm more of a mixed economy person. I want the necessities Socialized. I only have three: Education, health care, and some form of shelter. If you refuse to work, you don't deserve the luxuries. Get grouped into a building with beds, like a barracks. Use a central room for a TV and sh*t, they can share. Basically homeless shelters that already exist. Just spread their use.

Everything else, I am a Capitalist on.
