Pay for my trip give me a place to stay and food, no problems after that.

So when Christians pass on second hand statements it's not ok, but when atheist do so it is quite alright, double standard.

....huh? When did I say that?

That's a long swim and if I made it everyone would then believe in God. Would like to visit some day.

You have not said it directly, but have implied it in your resent statements, you take Marnie at his/her word, yet when a Christian takes the word of someone at face value you guys scream unsubstantiated, unsubstantiated you have to verify first.

The two differences are that Marnie is a real person who actually exists, and he/she is describing a scenario which, while we have not verified it as specifically true, is similar to many stories which have been verified as specifically true, so while this specific story could be entirely made up, it does not suffer from the flaw of implausibility.

Sorry hunny but people will still just laugh at you and ignore you here.... best to leave your religious "superiority" at home.

I don't think I've ever done such a thing. Please don't put me in a group by saying "you guys".

As for chess club, in most cases these are directly operated by the school itself, so denying its own club recruitment drives would not make sense.

You have a chess club what is operated by the school itself? 0.o

Wat.

I'd abuse the hell out of the prize of 'converting' me... who wouldn't go for such a temptation? Devil

I suppose it's going a little far to ask if any of them are lesbiandtotallygay? Dodgy

If your offended by my political view is it lawfull to have my political ideas banned. I'm offended by people wearing bluejeans! Shouldn't bluejeans be banned then?

So they're offended? So fucking what? Big Grin

Ahhh... Mr. Fry.

Here I thought politeness was specifically the opposite of offensiveness... but I guess rudeness is really the better fit for proper opposition.

Usually, if I want to avoid offending... I excuse myself from the conversation. So, pretty much only for grandmother, religious friends, and 11/9 Truthers. Dodgy

Quote:That said, I do know for a fact that the christian group has in the past complained about the queer collective to the administration because it's 'inappropriate,' so I feel like the question here is justified.

Which is called hypocrisy, and should be dismissed as such Smile

These people are specifically proselytizing to the youth, because they are more susceptible to manipulation and have yet to carve out a concrete self-identity. It conjures up images of a predator stalking prey, sniffing out the weakest of the herd in order to go in for the easy kill.

Excellent. You've passed your first marketing lesson: finding your mark Big Grin

Pickpocketing and Marketing are remarkably similar... just the latter has better lobbying Smile

And hands.

Mister Agenda Wrote:There are atheist clubs, usually at the HS level, mostly aimed at actually providing a club for atheist students. However, most American atheists agree that 'going after' young children is inappropriate, it's unlikely we'll use the same tactics to counteract the Good News Club type of organizations at the grade school level. It just isn't right to do an end-run around parents like that.

I never thought their parents had shit to do with it... Thinking

Still don't, but ynever know what some peeps be thinking.

G-C Wrote:Only God can decide that, it's not your kingdom, and by what scripture says I will be with my God forever and ever. What could an atheist possibly know about being a disciple of Christ. You do not like the strong stance I take for my God, it irritates you to no end, and as you say, if I'm right wouldn't you want to know, I know for a fact that God is real and has made me a part of His life!!!!!!!!!

Plenty.

God is real, but then... so is everything else. Smile

Can't imagine he enjoys the relationship all that much, maybe he just gets off on having a solid quantity of friends?

I took what you said as you were trying to keep it a secret, like yes I'm an atheist but don't tell anyone. Is your family atheistic, just curious. Oh, by the way hitting your head against your desk could result in bloody lumps and brain damage, believe me I know.
