Woman burned alive for 'sorcery' in Papua New Guinea

[Darkstar]

Drich is now claiming witches exist? Ooooooooookaaaaaay.

What I am saying is witches do not have to be what you think they are to exist.

But they are not biblically based True Witches™!

Ok dumbass, sure there are people who like the idea of being a witch and call themselves that, but no human ever has had magical or super natural powers. So if anyone is claiming to be a witch they are merely another delusional person just like you are deluded into thinking invisible friends are real. You merely have a different form of superstition and fantasy.

There are also people who like calling themselves vampires. Big whoopty shit.

People can be deluded into believing all sorts of bullshit, so?

So if I believe that I am a character in Dungeons and Dragons that means it is true because I like believing it?

True. Except for that fact that specific magic is mentioned once in the bible. Supposedly Egyption sorcerers turned their staffs into snakes. So...you are right, but nonetheless biblical magic has not been found.

Perhaps the ancient Egyptians had advanced replicator tech from Atlantis. That is actually kind of a real thing people believe.



You have aliens in there, and all kinds of goodness.

Obviously aliens. The bible wouldn't lie! So how else could they have done it? /sarcasm
Well, if some people hoestly think goddidit is a good answer to anything, aliensdidit isn't far off (in fact it is less ridiculous).

Did Equlax pass the Bigot torch to you now? Because as I have pointed out maybe 10 or 15 times in this thread, that burning nor even killing anyone is a christian act/ form let alone a santified biblical form of worship.

Again your examples are of wicked men using religion as an unjustified excuse to release the evil they have in their hearts onto another person.

Hey fuckwit? Look up: my name's Esquilax.

Second of all, I see you've completely ignored my question from earlier: what makes your definition of christian acts the correct one? Because until you can answer that, then you have no grounds to be telling us what is or is not christian. Nor what those men believed.

So, either provide us with clear evidence as to your credibility/apparent mind reading powers, or admit that all you're really doing is having an opinion, and a matching arrogance that allows you to assert that everyone else thinks that way too.

As to all this idiocy about witches from you... well, it's hilarious, don't get me wrong. I'm just glad you were able to spend the rest of the thread while I was away proving to everyone else what a hopeless black hole for the intellect you are.

I love it when some people accuse us of being bigots. How stupid.

Same shit would happen if I lived back in ancient Egypt and knew the sun was gas and not a god.

Skeptic, "I am sorry Pharaoh, but the sun is not a god"

Pharaoh, "Bigot, off with that bigot's head"

Look Drich, we don't hate believers, but if you do want us to really hate YOU keep whining about our word choices.

What we are doing here Drich would be no different than the following example.

Person A, "The Chargers won the Super Bowl"

Skeptic, "No the Baltimore Ravens did"

Person A, "Why wont you let me believe the Chargers won"

Skeptic "Because it simply isn't true"

Person A, "It is if I have faith it is"

Skeptic, "I don't give a shit how much faith you have the Chargers won, they did not the Baltimore Ravens did"

GET IT? Please tell me you are not that dense as to falsely call me a bigot.

Please Drich, how does saying the earth is not flat make me a bigot? Saying you are full of shit on any claim does not make one a bigot, all it means is that I think you got it wrong. Not liking our word choice does not make us bigots.

[dudeofawesome]

Wow, it's amazing how Christianity preaches "love and "compassion"....

Seriously? Are you Ignorant or illiterate? I've established a direct correlation (several times now) between the official definition of the word bigot, http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries....nary/bigot and the on going unreasonable beliefs about the Christian religion even after an exhaustive effort. It all boils down to you all not wanting to listen to anyone who disagrees with your bigoted closed minded view of Christianity.

[Esquilax]

I've already answered your questions. Go back and retread what has been written.

I have. Which is why I'm still asking.

You restate your original premise a lot- that the people this thread was started about weren't acting in accordance with christian beliefs- but then when you're given real, tangible and written proof to the contrary you just go "nuh uh, not according to my personal metric" without once telling us why that should carry any weight.

But since you've apparently already answered, it shouldn't be too hard to go back and quote it for us here, no? I mean, I wouldn't want to do it myself and risk misinterpreting you or putting words in your mouth. I wouldn't want you to have to misuse the term bigot again.

Except that a bigot isn't just someone who disagrees with you. And we all disagree with you on what you're choosing to label as bigotry. All you're doing is trying to use an emotionally charged word to shut us all down, and it's not going to work, you disingenuous fuck.

That's a lie. (The rest of your argument was legitimately dismissed because it was based on a bold face lie.)
My arguments have never been centered around 'beliefs.' Christian or otherwise.

Go back and read what was written 10 or 15 times alittle more carefully this time.
Everything appeals to the NT of the bible, the single sole source for ALL Sanctified Christian behavior.

The NT across the board condemns everything done in PNG! Therefore nothing these men did, can be considered a 'Christian act' Nor an act of worship to the God of the bible.

Except that a bigot isn't just someone who disagrees with you.

Bigotry (in this instance) is misrepresenting the religious beliefs of an entire religion in order to self righteously persecute all who follow that religion. Even after you have been educated to Biblical standards and expectations that all bible believing Christians adhere to..


bigot
noun
ˈbɪɡət ˈbɪɡət
a person who has very strong, unreasonable beliefs or opinions about race, religion or politics and who will not listen to or accept the opinions of anyone who disagrees

And we all disagree with you on what you're choosing to label as bigotry. All you're doing is trying to use an emotionally charged word to shut us all down, and it's not going to work, you disingenuous fuck.

hypocrite much? What I did was take a word and show you what it literally meant (So as to diffuse the name calling reflex) then I showed you how your behavior met that definition. You on the other hand are trying to use an emotionally charged word to shut me down, and it's not going to work, you disingenuous equine laxative. Get it?? Equ-lax.

I call you that because I haven't see so much horse shit in one place since I worked on my Grand fathers farm!!!
