Another Good Reason to be a Christian

[ajarnfalang]

Additionally this idea that atheists have a monopoly of science is laudable at best.

Not to be a pedant, but do you mean "laughable"?

Yes. All religious people. All. Including you. Just listen to your tone. You can't possibly let me be and think what I want to think. You have to come and tell me I'm wrong about thinking what I think.

Slow down there, hotshot. I'm an atheist.

Perhaps you'd like to hit the reset button on this interchange. Let's see what kind of man you are when it comes to admitting error with grace.

I didn't say you were not an atheist. You can call yourself whatever you want to.

Let's say anyone who puts a label on themselves is highly intolerant. And most people in the USA love labels. That makes Americans very intolerant people in general. I know because I'm an American, I just don't live in the USA. I get to live with people that are completely different in a totally different culture and let me tell you, they just let people be what they are.

One discussion you'll never hear is "is there a God".

How illuminating. Would you care to spell out which things these are, Professor?

You tell me.

What do you believe? What do you really know for sure? Let's make a list.

What do you believe?

We were talking about Rob and his beliefs, douchebag. Or does your train not run on the tracks anymore?

Care to give an answer to the actual question, or are you just some full of shit poseur?

People who have no valid thoughts often resort to personal insults and attacks.

Note that I haven't addressed you or attacked you. I wasn't talking to you at all. You came to me. I'm asking you what you believe.

You chose to talk to me so now I'm talking to you. I'm not talking to Rob. Do you have any thoughts of your own? What do you know for sure?

You can talk for yourself or you can just end this conversation by not replying to me and it is over.

Right. More diversion. Are you going to answer the question or not?

(And you did address me. You even quoted my text. That is for an ordinary person rather plain.)

Damn, there you are! I thought you'd flown the coupe Rasetsu, ne Apo. I'm always confused my name changes. Glad you're still here.

No. It's because you're jackasses and I have had enough time dealing with you Americans to know you're just fuckers.

I'm not American. But that's besides the point. The reason you think we are the jackasses and not you is because you don't realise that very often, the things you say are offensive to us. And because you don't realise it, you think that we are assholes for no reason when infact we are just responding to your own douchbaggery. We know that you don't know that what you're saying is offensive but we get angry with you because you should know.

Judi, you in no way are close to being an average atheist. I have atheist friends who not once have tried to start shit on Facebook with their religious friends.

Well, I don't know about Judi but i've never tried to 'start shit on facebook' with my religious friends. And as to how that would make someone a jackass in the first place, I do not know.

 You're on par for being the average American, but not for being an average atheist. It's people like yourself that make atheists look bad. Not that you would care as you have shown in your posts to be quite self-centered.

But to you, every atheist looks bad. Oh wait, i'm sorry, apart from these imaginary atheist friends of yours who are so nice and don't talk about atheism. How nice and comformist of them not to be outspoken in their views because you don't agree with them. Tell me, have you ever talked to them over the internet in a forum like this with anonymity? No? Well, I'll tell you what you'd find, they would be like us. People are always different on the internet, most of us would be far too polite to talk the way we do to people in real life.
P.S. There have been a few atheist i've seen on forums where I think 'god they're a bad atheist, I hope they stop talking' but Judi is not one of them.

I have friends who happen to be atheists and they don't look bad to me at all. They act more secular than you and there's nothing wrong with that...

Sorry Stimbo, but you're just not as special as Wolf and Judi. It's just how things are...

Parker....an over-generalization would be to say ALL atheists act as you do....this would be like saying one particular shitty city in Mississippi tends to have the racists that make Mississippi look terrible.

LOL nice quick edit calling me a spoiled brat and then changing it. Interesting how you can continue to call yourself a christian yet continue to act total opposite of what one is.

[Whateverist]

You know Polaris for someone who claims to be a christian, you sure don't act like one.

I hate to say it, but I agree.

Of course, depending on what your experience has been with xtians that may not be a bad thing.  Most xtians I know don't act in a way I'd call exemplary.  So not acting like one could be a very good thing.

No. It's because you're jackasses and I have had enough time dealing with you Americans to know you're just fuckers.

I'm not American either, and more of a wanker (for now, anyway). Can I still be a jackass?

I put Christian on there because I anticipated that if I said something defending Christianity, some atheist here would whine that I was being dishonest by not first putting my faith down. I am more secularist than you will ever be.

[Joods]

Then you aren't a christian?
