An unorthodox belief in God.

[bennyboy]

Mickiel, seriously: show me one post in which I intimidated you at all, let alone used my position to do so. If you wish to report me for abusing my position then do it - throwing allegations around is not the way to be taken seriously.

I asked you twice, politely, to adhere to the rules. If I'd wanted to use my position to make it an official warning I'd have posted in Mod Green, like this. Everything else I say is in my capacity as an ordinary member of the community, just like you. So now I insist - put up or shut up in your very next post. Don't forget the apology; in public, the way you made the accusation.

You accused me of trolling these members and warned me for " The second time " to stop. I give no apology for your wind. You're just going to have to use your power to protect these members from me, because if you don't, I am going to stomp them all.

Including you.

Oooh, you're going to stomp everyone? With what, the power of your unsupported religious assertions? With the weight of increasingly-long text walls? Did you think you had some magic power of influence that would cause the atheists to scatter like cockroaches when your Holy Light was shone on them?

The problem with the belief in God is that it doesn't have a magical effect on people who went to school and learned how to think critically. You want people to accept a God who is more complex than all the many trillions of stars in the observable universe, but who gets cranky when a teenage boy masturbates in the shower. But you have it backward-- God is not even as complex as the average high-school-educated brain-- and that's because God is an idea which was made up for the unwashed masses, and simple folk they were and are for believing that Sky Daddy is the best answer to their philosophical questions. Really, all you should need to do is to find the Indian hindu, or Tibetan buddhist, or British pagan, equivalent of a Christian fundamentalist, and realize that emotional conviction and cultural reinforcement make fairy tales feel real. Look at how stupid all those other mythologies sound to you, and then look into the mirror and read the Bible out loud. If you can't see the connection, then you dont have the intellectual capacity to "stomp" on anyone here.

Mickiel is fortunate breathing is an involuntary task; his conscious brain would be overwhelmed by the task.

I don't know. He's pretty good at the forceful exhalation part. In fact, I'm confident that he would be equally good at both sucking and blowing as he is at huffing and puffing.
