This guy, however, thought that out of all the people that read the bible, he was the only one that understood the true message but what Christian doesn't. I think he just thought that god created him to help spread the word of the rapture. Sort of a chosen one of the chosen people. He thought he had interpreted the word of his god correctly and that god wanted him to spread the message, but like you said, the same could be said for all believers.(May 24, 2011 at 5:10 pm)FaithNoMore Wrote:To one extent or another that's true of all believers, FNM. I mean...think of the ego it takes to concoct a 'god' who created the entire universe but they still think he gives a shit about them and their little problems.(May 24, 2011 at 5:03 pm)Minimalist Wrote: For once in his life, G-C is right. Camping is an attention whore...but frankly, no more so than Herr Von Popenfuhrer or any other religious shitwit who wanders around telling people what "god" thinks. More even than "negative attention" though, Rayaan, what Camping is getting is ridicule and no one wants that.Do you think it's really attention seeking or just delusion of self-worth? I think he's just another one of god's followers that thinks he's special.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
