Sorry about my "Hating Christians" post
May 22, 2016 at 12:08 am
Hey, just like to say sorry for that post by me earlier. I don't hate all Christians, I have several family members who are Christian and I love them dearly and they are wonderful people. I'm just getting very frustrated with some of the bigotry in this nation and how those who are behind it are hiding behind their religion as an excuse to be hateful.
Once again...if I offended anyone I'm sorry.

no probs man...
I'm suspecting that's why religion is so popular.
It validates people's prejudices ...

For the record, I personally don't hate anyone for whatever religion they choose to follow, nor whatever beliefs they espouse - however risible. What I do hate are people who use their religion as a shield to hide their bigotry, moral hypocrisy and criminal activity.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I think you mean "Roman Catholic Priests." Sure there is a fallen preacher here and there. But it's not like an epidemic. Most preachers have a wife, which curbs unnatural urges like what your talking about. We have to remember that at least some preachers are falsely accused.

A great many child molesters (even those who molest boys) are married. If you'd like to consider facts over your presuppositions, try looking at what actual experts have to say on the subject:
http://www.childmolestationprevention.or...facts.html
See especially this quote:
Researchers asked the 4,000 admitted child molesters in the Abel and Harlow Child Molestation Prevention Study to answer questions about their lives. These abusers were men aged 18 to 80.
How does [the child molester they're describing in the article] George compare? George is typical.
First of all, he's married, just like 77 percent of the more than 4000 child sexual abusers in the Child Molestation Prevention Study. George is religious, like 93 percent of the abusers. He's educated. More than 46 percent had some college education and another 30 percent were high school graduates. Like 65 percent of the admitted abusers, George was working. Numerous studies of adult victims have sought to link child molestation victims to lower social class and lower family income. All have failed. Child victims and their abusers exist equally in families of all income levels and classes. And, now from the study, we know that child molesters are as equally married, educated, employed, and religious as any other Americans.
And a link to the specific study being cited:
http://www.childmolestationprevention.or.../study.pdf
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

I completely disagree with religion and think it's complete bullshit. But I have friends who are religious and they are wonderful people and they respect my beliefs so I in turn respect theirs. The Christians/Religious People I hate are the ignorant assholes who use their religion to justify their bigotry and deny everything (even if it's blatantly common sense) that doesn't comply with their beliefs. The things I see Christians say sometimes can just make my eyes bleed.

I think you probably meant you hated some "Christians" beliefs rather than necessarily the person ... I have varying degrees from indifference to hate of a persons beliefs, which is usually based on how they use their beliefs.
I am indifferent to closet "deists" and "theists" as long as they don't try and infect me or my children, but the action of some "deists" and "theists" does invoke hate in me.
Most "deists" and "theists" can't help their illness and should be pitied, but when they intentionally try to infect others with their ignorance it is unforgivable .... You can use a condom for some diseases, but unfortunately they haven't made condoms big enough yet to fit a spouting evangelist cumming to the "Lord", and of cause, even if they did the pope would stick his un-condomed beak in 
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
