Religion poisons everything, Thanskgiving Edition

[Cato]

Actually it's not.

I get it now, it's like leaving a takeaway menu with the other services provided by the business. How awful!

Bullshit again! It's not like leaving a menu, that would imply that the recipient could pick and choose according to his/her desires.

You assholes aren't happy until the victim rejoices in your special brand of bullshit. As evidence I submit the thousands of different christianities.

Perhpas it's time you jesus freaks had another conference to get your shit straight. You know, it's only been about 1700 years or so since the last one.

Our Mission is to provide national leadership to end senior hunger.

On September 1, 2009, the MOWAA Board of Directors approved a new vision for the Meals On Wheels Association of America: to end senior hunger by 2020. In order to turn this 2020 vision into a reality, we have started a national movement to end senior hunger by 2020: Our goal is to recruit 6 million people who are willing to stand up and pledge to do what it takes to end senior hunger.

Senior hunger in America is a monumental problem. The latest research reveals 8.3 million seniors in the United States faced the threat of hunger. Looking at the numbers, it is easy to become discouraged. Looking at the people whom the numbers represent, however, impels us to action and helps develop our plan. Because of the magnitude of the problem, we know that we cannot solve it overnight or with a single project or initiative. MOWAA's four pillars outlines our comprehensive approach to ending senior hunger.

Which part of that mission do you believe pertains to providing religious services and proselytization, Daniel?

The part of the pie that says "SPONSORSHIP", obviously.

It's no different to any other sponsor including some of their material with a sponsored product. Get over it. Everyone in business does it, it's normal, it's usual, it's perfectly acceptable, you're just finding excuses to complain about nothing.

"Ah. I have access."



I think I have found Daniel's blog. He can confirm or deny. ()

There's likely a reason the Anglican church has experienced a steady boom of negative growth in Australia for the past 100 years. (See .)

I'm leaning in favor of believing that "disingenous daniel" is a POE. Nobody can produce that much stupid off the top of their head. (Though if he had access to a deep, underground reservoir of stupid, I suppose it's possible. Kichi? Can you get me the water table maps for Canberra?)

[Aractus]

My blog is clearly linked from account (see that link entitled "website"?)

Nobody can produce that much stupid off the top of their head.

I'll take that as a compliment, since anything that seems stupid to you is probably very reasonable, respectable and honest.

Let's think about this for a moment. Operation Christmas Child. Let me guess, us "evil" Christians putting Christian Paraphernalia into gift boxes which are given to underprivileged children shows how malevolent we are in pushing our own religion. Oh how terrible.

Why do you find a problem in the most menial of things? You tell us "we should do it without any Christian literature at all" - which we do do where we're not allowed to distribute the Christian literature. But you want to tell us HOW to do our missions in this world? HA. Good f-ing luck with that, as if the global generosity of Christians is tainted because we do things in ways that YOU as an atheist disapprove of. Get with it.

*(We in this instance refers to the Christian community at large and not to me personally)

You're being generous in the same way a drug dealer who hands out free samples is generous. Christians do good because they expect the recipients to reward them with conversion. Christian charity is a pyramid scheme. Participate in charity, donate money, volunteer, when you're doing it for the needy rather than God and not expecting rewards of any kind, and I'll call it 'generosity'. When you toss in dogma with the food, it is not generosity. It is an act of crass cynicism seasoned with just enough artificial kindness to fool people.

[Minimalist]

So let me get this straight - they're providing you with a service, and they had the audacity to give you a piece of literature that you could choose to read or throw away? Those bastards, who do they think they are! That would be like if a business person you were doing business with gave you their business card, how awful.

It's the advertising for your fucking god that offends us, Danny-boy. I'd think that if the "creator of the universe" wanted to get his message out he could do something a little more spectacular than have some douchebag stick a flier in a "free" meal. Sadly....all religion ever seems to produce are the douchebags.

There is no "free" meal with those fucks. It is just advertising for their superstitions. A spoon full of soup for you and a spoon full for jesus.
You probably cannot even see how the constant proselytizing undermines your act, can you?

This is a fascinating conclusion. I must say, my biased thinking doesn't draw to mind many examples of people who have drawn similar conclusions. So help me make this a more salient memory so I shant forget to recall it on future occasions. What facts and representations are you drawing upon which lead you to this result, and why do you consider it a reliable one?

So, this menu contains all the religious options including Atheism? Or does it just contain the "Believe in me or burn" option?

It's no different to any other sponsored program and you know it.

Does a halal menu contain kosher?

[Anomalocaris]

It is totally different. Other sponsored program does come with ghastly self-serving made-up threat of infinite punishment, nor sickeningly worming false promises of infinite reward.

And refrain from such shabbily tactical insinuation of dishonesty as "you know it". The ones who are most likely to know it but far too weak to admit it would be your lying, boasting, swindling, nagging, insulting, threatening, cajoling, double dealing coreligionists.
