Bad Wolf. Stop living in fantasy land and join the real world for once. I guess you're no different than the Christian mentioned by a friend on another thread who was unwilling to acknowledge the atrocities of Catholicism. I should create a Facebook comedy page just with your comments alone; you would be quite popular in no time.
You make it so painfully clear that you're an American....by your intelligence and cultural biases, I might even go so far as to say you're from the Deep South. If you're not American, all I can say is I have never met any non-American act quite so trashy American as you. You even are more of a culture-less scumbag than the Americans I have met and that's saying quite a lot considering I actually spent some time in the South.
Human sexuality is much more fluid than you Yanks pretend it to be....in many societies throughout history, it has been perfectly acceptable for individuals to be married to the opposite sex yet have familiar relations with the same sex out of wedlock.
You stated you would insult all Moslems by insulting their customs and that would not make you an Islamophobe....that's like saying, "I don't hate African Americans or Mexicans but will insult them for their music, the names they are given, the way they talk, the way they dress, etc."
They can be cajoled into doing the evil bidding because they are drones just like you.
Did you just say you are a free thinker? LMFAO.....that's really rich. If you actually thought about what you were doing, you would open a fucking book and learn something.
Look back at your comments to see just what a warhawk Yank acts like.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Um.....Polaris.....pretty sure Wolf already told you he wasn't american? Did the south rub off on you while you were here, bigot?

Gee, I thought Wolf was Murican too. Learn something new everyday. The Mormon background was probably what led me to that.

Yet again, your lack of reading comprehension skills, baffles me. And yet again, instead of addressing my last post, you've had a tantrum and started attacking me. This will be fun to address.
I have never denied these atrocities. I challenge you to go back throughout this thread and look at every one of my posts to find the part where I denied that atheists have caused atrocities. I'm going to make a prediction here and say, you won't be capable of doing that.
What I took issue with like I said in my previous post (something you've seemed to ignore) is you're blank assertion that atrocities caused by atheists were worse than ones caused by theists. I shall repeat, I did not challenge this assertion because I believe the opposite is true. I challenged you (by asking questions) because you were not justified in stating that. Not only have you not provided any evidence after being asked twice, but the evidence you would have to find to prove your claim, does not exist. If you truly wanted to prove your claim, you would have to tally up every bad thing done by atheism and theism, this is impossible since record keeping 2000 years ago wasn't that great. If you were to attempt this, it would be biased simply because we have better records today when theism is no-where near the power it was and atheism is more prevalent.

Wow, I didn't think you could become more of an asshole when you started telling me what I was thinking. I was wrong. How arrogant does someone have to be to not only tell another person where they are from, but then contradict them once told otherwise?
And what's this chip on your shoulder about Americans?

I know. What is your point? Do you think I have a problem with homosexuality? If you think that, then (i'll say again) your reading comprehension skills are aweful.

Ahh, back to misrepresenting me I see. How surprising.
It's like you didn't even read my previous post. Firstly, I did not state that I would insult all Muslims. You are lying here, go back a page and try to find a quote of me saying that. You can't. Secondly insulting customs is different than insulting people (you would know my position if you bothered to read my previous post). Shall I repeat it? I think I better.
An Islamaphobe is someone who hates Muslims regardless. They hate all Muslims. They have good reason to hate some muslims, such as the ones who suicide bomb places. But because of these radicals, they hate them all. I am not amoung them. I understand that most muslims are nice, normal people. But their religion and their customs aren't. Such customs include stonings, honour killings, oppression of women, suicide bombings. Luckily, most don't do these things. And yet because I criticize Islam for inspiring some muslims to do these things, you call me an Islamaphobe? If that is your criteria for one, then almost everybody is one.

That's even richer coming from you because you've been incredibly ignorant and frankly biggoted throughout our conversation here.

And another evasion to to disguise explaining that what you were doing was trying to insult me.
I grow tired of your childish and petty attitude. I suggest you take few days from this site to clear your head, maybe then I could get an apology from you.

Hard to tell whether we should ban Polaris or make him president of the forums 
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

I don't understand why you would want to do either.
