Sir, the sweet irony of being called arrogant by you ROFLOL

until i find some more convincing drugs.

the void: irony. my name is ironic. what a fool you have made of yourself.

racism has gone nowhere. racism will lower in times of much food and warmth like today, but when the rains come and we are all fighting for ground it shall return much as before.

no, you cannot offend a nonexistent deity, but you can offend millions of people, and for what? you are just spreading misery in the name of another utopia. there are no utopias. not in a truly logical atheist world view.

you do think you are more important, the void. why not re-read your words?




why do you think i would have been banned? have i broken the rules here? or, like many a humanist, do you not want to even entertain someone who you already know, 100%, has a less serious and worthy opinion that that which you already own?

if i am the sort of person that this site bans then that only goes further to cement my entire point.

The phrase "blasphemy is a victimless crime" cannot possibly offend anyone, since it isn't attacking anyone, nor is it attacking anyone's beliefs. It is a statement of disagreement with a belief, and if you are offended by people disagreeing with you, you are more arrogant than anyone.

We have numerous theist members here. None of them have ever complained about the slogan (or any of the other slogans...we used to have them rotating every hour). We even have a theist member of staff now; so please tell me, in what way are we offending millions of people here?

Actually, that is the only way out of the "religious condition." And lots of people are doing it. In Europe the churches are empty. In parts of America they are as well.

If only we could clean out the trailer parks we'd be on to something.

In any case, I don't give a flying fuck if people want to believe in invisible sky-daddys....as long as they keep their nonsense out of our courtrooms and schools.

When they show up here, however, prattling on about their bullshit they are going to hear about it.

And what of you? Your purpose here? The feather ruffling that you must realise will only be met with bemusement, incredulity and ridicule. And for what?

Your high ideals only serve as a platform for you to view the mirror of yourself. You seek to impose your ideologies and worldview upon us and we, in our turn and in your mind do likewise.

And the Earth turns regardless.

adrian. of course people can be offended by it. i am a person. it offends me. you over intellectualise every word of every argument. people define offense differently. differently to you. differently to your logic. your logic is meaningless to most people. surely you, of all the worlds people, know that people define things differently. how many times have you had arguments with people about definitions? it's about 10% of your forum life isn't it?

'if only we could clean out the trailer parks'. you are disgusting. i should imagine the users of this site will not speak up against this horrific attitude?

clean the dirty ones! make them as clean and pure as we are!

Right. That's what lead me to the conclusion that you're a theist pretending to be an atheist, that and you 'Religious views' being Science.

Racism has gone down drastically, not just because of resources but because of a change in attitudes, and if changing the attitudes of persons regarding race is acceptable then what is wrong with changing peoples attitudes regarding experience?

Quote:no, you cannot offend a nonexistent deity, but you can offend millions of people, and for what? you are just spreading misery in the name of another utopia. there are no utopias. not in a truly logical atheist world view.

You're the only one talking about utopia here, I don't give a shit, it's not going to happen.

Also, blashphemy =/= insensitivity towards believers.

Quote:you do think you are more important, the void. why not re-read your words?

You're clearly the one who needs to re-read them, because at no point did I equate accuracy of belief with one's self importance. You can be as self important as humanly possible while believing as many false things as humanly possible.

I care about having accurate beliefs, that by definition makes me more likely to have acurate beliefs compared to someone who is only concerned with their own perceptions. That does't have any measure of importance about it at all, how you're getting from "I care about jusfitying beliefs" to "i'm super imprtant" is a mystery to me.

1. What does this have to do with humanism?

2. Why assume we are humanists? I'm not for one. I share the secularism and naturalism, but beyond that I don't see the justification in espousing certain attributes over others, as the 'humanists' do for their value system.

2. What is your worldview?

yes, the earth turns regardless. but i do not pretend i will change one of your views. i do not imagine to. i do not care to. i will learn to live with the diversity. i will learn to tolerate those different to myself. i have no purpose more than you. i have emotions though, and things make me angry, and i speak these words out as therapy, but nothing more. acquiescence unnecessary thanks.
