Quote:Let's take a look at how tolerant, as a whole, religion has been to apostates, non-believers and "false" believers over the last 2000 years.Let's not. I am not involved in the last 2000 years of religion. Whatever they "did to you" over the last 20 centuries doesn't affect the moral value of trading bibles for porn. Trading bibles for porn is sensationalist and rude, and if you've been treated badly for 2000 years it is still sensationalist and rude. You can't justify acting like an idiot just because other have acted like idiots.
Quote:If they're rude or not is completely and utterly irrelevant because it's within their rights to do so. If some people don't like it, they can protest THEM.Oh I fully understand the whole 'I disagree with what you're saying, but will defend to the death your right to say it' thing. But their rudeness is relevant, in the sense that rudeness is never acceptable behavior.
Quote:I do enjoy seeing proselytizing people getting a taste of their own medicine.So we're sinking to their level now?
Quote:Don't tell other people their views are twisted just because they don't coincide with yours, and I'm almost 100 percent positive you are exactly the same being we all are, and subject to the human condition.I'm not saying that your personal views are twisted, and I am a bigger man than you muahahaha! I am allowed to think (out loud) that scat porn is disgusting and a complete waste of time. If you take that personally, I am sorry. The human condition involves an aversion to poop. People's views aren't twisted because they don't coincide with mine. People's views are twisted , and I don't do twisted, so our views don't coincide. It's not bragging to be proud of yourself. Or am I in the wrong for not liking scat porn? I will assimilate further, my apologies.
Quote:I don't like it myself, but I'm not going to knock a person that's honest with themselves and admits that they enjoy it, as it could just as well be me in that position at some point in my life.I will. If you like porn with shit as the focus, that is sick. I'm sorry if you have some right, but that is just sick. I will never find myself enjoying that. If someone does, I reserve the right to be properly disgusted.
Quote:They're not trying to get converts, they were trying to get attention.Well, let's all be as juvenile as possible. If what atheism needs is more attention, good or bad, than great. I just wonder if pissing people off on purpose is the most constructive thing.
Trading bibles for porn equates godlessness with something the average believer may find offensive. It's playing into their hand. It's silly and just a stunt to get a rise. I thought yours was a belief structure of rationale and reality? Are these assholes doing it a service?
I just hate porn, and when I saw this kid do a TV spot (the kid in Boston trading bibles for porn), he was belligerent and petty. So I find the whole thing laughable. Not laugh with, laugh at. Please feel free to think whatever you will, though. Please know that these are just my thoughts, and I am neither right not wrong.
Thanks,
