Christian Atrocities

[abaris]

When you said 'evasion', did you mean 'invasion'?

I guess "eevasion" sounds the same as "invasion" in a southern drawl. Blame the school system not it's products.

And also they don't teach evolution it gets put so far back when you get to it its already to late because next school year or your graduating. Well good thing northern education pays off.

Religious fundamentalism is an unholy trinity of misunderstood symbolism, lack of historical perspective, and fanaticism, naturally unified by an anti-scientific approach to such phenomena as the mystical experience.

And especially dangerous when that combination exists in the substrate of a culture that reinforces that ignorance and self-righteousness. (Eg, American south)

... or atheist forums, for that matter. Snowglobes are snowglobes no matter the scenery.

You must be starved for attention, your social life outside this forum must be quite lacking.

You know you can be a good christian and not insult people or belittle them i'm pretty sure if jesus existed he would put shame on you. Were all humans here lets treat each other equally.

The pot calling the kettle black.

So, watching videos about the evils people do to one another is a sign of a lack of a social life and a cry for attention?

Wow. I must really need attention because I watched a doco about the Holocaust over the weekend.

No, he/she keeps starting threads as if that's all there is to do, feels to me like he/she needs attention that's not coming from life outside this forum.
Nothing more than that.

All the people I meet that's moved here from different parts of the country say they came here because of the people and their friendly ways, we here in the south see it as an evasion into our way of life. So those who dislike the Christianity of the south can just stay away, it want hurt our feelings.

GC

Why?

Do they steal your piggies?

Worse, they are making life here worse, sad to say, they wanted to bring their life styles here and expect us to accept it. They say they came here because of what we have but, then they try to change it.

Honestly what GC is saying is right--that many places in the South are just giant religio-cultural gangs. When people bring other experiences to the South, a lot of people act more or less like a gang. In some places is downright scary.

As someone who's lived in the South for all my life, I've kept up running, martial arts, and studying the heck out of my textbooks so that one day I could get out. You know how freaky it is when you hear the WBC lady talk? There's quite a few here like that.

As someone from the inside of this way of life who defected, I can say it left lasting harm on me.

I'm in college now. But I still suffer from anxiety attacks. I'm paranoid about letting loose about my being atheist. I have to carefully and systematically delete any and all ties to atheism on my computer / phone, when I visit home. The "We" mentality of the South is nothing more than a gang, and it completely screwed me over.

Can we put that on a monument?

Its not really funny considering how people will fuck you up in the south over not believing in god. and also its not the greatest thing to say considering people in the south and really in Florida seem to have mental issues and probably would get away with battery and assault.
