a question for theists
October 23, 2014 at 12:02 am
what do you think about us atheists and can you explain why some theists just down right hate us and why do you allow some people to take money from you like tv evangelists scammers like benny hinn and peter popoff.

I predict the "not true christians" as the second popular answer.

people fear the unknown. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate.. Hate leads to suffering..

It's called giving.. I know in the atheist world this is a foreign concept. But giving is not a bad thing. We have all been tasked to give. Some do more freely than others. Those who give to the benny himms and popoffs want to give to people who are really connected with God. 'Miricals' for them are that 'proof.' So they give thinking they are giving to the modern day apstoles. the problem is they have a set picture of God and it requires miricals.. So they back the guy whoo claims to be doing miricals.[/quote]

I don't mean to nitpick here, Drich, (I'm not a big fan of grammar nazis when the idea is conveyed either way) but I've seen you spell it "miricals" in a few different places, and because it seems intentional at this point, I wonder if there's some historical or biblical reason you do it?
Also, how would you then pronounce "mir-A-culous"? Do you spell it miriculous and pronounce it mir-I-culous?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Mir-A-culous = My-R-Oculous (rift)

off the cuff: miracolus
but that doesn't look right so i would ask siri
I spell it that way because i do not know any better. It looks and sounds right when I read it so... boom you have a 'mirical'

When you say that, you actually have to give an answer
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

I'm guessing our shepherd is Satan; ironically, also part of the Christian ecosystem. An ecosystem we reject as very, very silly. Extremely silly even.
And yet, like getting an iPhone, the Christian wants to lock us into that ecosystem and we can't escape without going android.
No way Steve Jobs/Jesus! We will not submit to your marketing machination bullshit!
