Atheism is a vat of regurgitated horse turd, liquefied and main-lined by atheists

[Vincenzo Vinny G.]

Oh? You don't agree with the draw mohammed day? Wasn't the whole thing started by atheists in an attempt to offend Muslims?

I always saw it as an expression of freedom of speech in the face of an oppressive force that's trying to silence us.

But what if we ourselves are an oppressive force, trying to silence us from freely expressing things about our own beliefs?

That is a movement in the right direction, a theist admitting he is part of an oppressive force, even if it is Vinny the poo's potato army.

Wait..... you're claiming atheists are preventing other atheists from freely expressing their beliefs? How's that work?

If you want to see blasphemy against atheism, I really don't know how to do that. I mean, sure, there are respected atheists and scientists and scientific texts an scathing critiques of religion but we don't have any sacred entity to blaspheme against.

You want to hear me bad mouth Richard Dawkins? Fine. Dawkins can give me a rim job right after I take a shit. You want me to blaspheme Charles Darwin? Ok. He is worth less than the toe fungus I put a cream on my feet to fight.

And it's kinda ironic here; if I'm not mistaken, you sad excuse for a guido wannabe Vinny, you've been challenged to blaspheme God and refused. It's kinda funny; I'm able to talk bad about respected figured in atheistic circles without hesitation but it's been what, a month, and you still haven't been able to bring yourself to blaspheme a God that you claim you don't even believe in; how did that happen?

I still think you're a Christian trying to pretend to be an atheist and doing a piss poor job of it.

Bullshit.

I agree with allowing it to happen. But I'm not going to participate in it myself.

lol jk.

Been keeping tabs on the Muslim riots story, curious how two different values interplay on the issue of free speech versus sacrosanctitude (look it up. im kidding don't i made it up).

The overall theme seems to be, at least in the west, "Free speech ought to be respected". CNN is even reporting on Muslims who believe this. No defense of the other position, no favorable reporting of it.

So we all agree! Free speech, even if it's offensive!

But how willing would we be if it were offensive against things we cared about? After all, isn't the true measure of the value of free speech measured by how we preserve it when it offends us, rather than offends others?

It's easy to say you respect free speech when you're not being inconvenienced by it.

But if you truly respect free speech, you will be willing to tolerate inconvenience and insult yourself. Not others.

And that point should, I believe put the thread title into a little perspective. Do you value free speech enough to hear that? Do you value free speech enough to blaspheme atheism?

What about blaspheming your family and friends? Your values? Your nation? Yourself?

How much do YOU value free speech?

Yes, I value free speech. As I've told you before, Vinny, you are proof positive that the Holy Spirit is nothing more than Holy Flatulence. The Bible calls the Holy Spirit "pneuma" which means "wind". The Creed says that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. Now, I ask you, what's wind that proceeds from the father and the son, if it's not FART?

From all of Vinny's posts, I find that he must be full of the Holy Flatulence. It comes out from various orifices in his body so freely and so odoriferously.

I value free speech so much that I type it in capitals so that my free speech is more visible than your free speech.
Now I will insert a laughing emote to emphasise my point.

Calm down, normal font is fine you know.

Calm down, normal font is fine you know.

Yes, but "Holy Flatulence" is such a wonderful term that it deserves to be in large, bold text.
