Intelligence is a Curse

[Erinome]

If all this makes you feel better, then so be it. I think you have some misconceptions of yourself because of your education. You call me deluded, yet you feel you're a compassionate person, have you read any of the things you've said to me lately? Clearly you don't look over your shoulder to consider how you treat others, therefore you do not know what it means to be forgiving and kind. If we had someone evaluate the two of us through our posts, they would certainly maintain that you are defending your ego and your point of view with tactics that declare you have resentment issues with the deity called God, which extends to his followers and even people you do not know in person. Wouldn't you agree that people are different in person, not because they will say different things, but beacuse they have shown themselves in the flesh? Haven't you noticed that I have no need to attack your beliefs because they do not hinder me or scare me? Haven't you noticed that you are angry with an invisible force that "cannot" exist, that kills children, smashing their heads against rocks. Why isn't your passionate disgust directed at the millions of mothers that disassemble their children in the womb through abortion, using instruments to pull them into pieces and cut off their limbs. Why aren't you going after them, instead of a dusty old book that has "made up stories" about people doing killing people? At least, as far as you believe, these stories aren't true, but abortion is happening everyday, around the world. Aleia, stop defending your ego and open your eyes. I am not your enemy and neither is God.

Also, it's easy to be compassionate to people you like, but being compassionate with people you don't like, that's when virtue really shows. Show me this virtue you speak of, respond to me with some respect.

I know it's common in Christian cultures to blow smoke up people's asses, but salty, I don't do that shit. I call it like I see it. If you want something sugar coated, eat a doughnut! Who has taught you that respect is always being nice about everything? I believe respect is largely based upon honesty, and I have done nothing but be honest with you about my thoughts and feelings on your unfounded, nonsensical "points". I've not called you names. How have I disrespected you? Disagreeing with you is not disrespecting you, it's just disagreeing.

I am not angry with an invisible being that doesn't exist. I am angry that the world is full of stupid people, and that in the Information Age, people refuse to inform themselves. They stick with faith. That's annoying to those of us who took the time to do a little thinking.

Christians abort more children every year than any other religious/nonreligious group. By a landslide. Google it, and inform yourself.. or perhaps you'll just have faith that Aleia the evil atheist is a liar. But I haven't lied to you, and that's the problem you have with me. It's okay. You're inflicted with the backward "christian" perspective of respect.

I'm pro choice, btw. There are millions of abortions every year (Christians making up about 60%), and the world is over crowded as it is. I would see it as heinous on the mother's part, but considering we live in a society that believes that by teaching young people how to protect themselves is giving them permission to fuck, and sticks by their abstinence until marriage, unrealistic views; it's easy to see why abortion is a necessary evil.

As for me, I have no delusions about myself. I am imperfect and I embrace my imperfections. I treat people like I would want to be treated. I respect people who aren't afraid to tell me when I'm wrong, as long as they can prove it. I respect people who don't live by that ridiculous "Thumper from Bambi" wisdom: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". I don't abuse children, kill people, drive drunk, lie, steal, cheat, abandon, rape, maim, or tell people they are going to burn in hell. I do get a bit snippy sometimes, but I forgive those who get snippy with me.
