Somehow I doubt the people who complained there were Liberal Atheists.

Geezus, dude, how many times do I have to tell you I'm in Sikeston? Tongue
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Then he forgives them again.


(Jesus seems amazingly stupid!)

It's nice to have the get-out-of-jail-free card.

The get-out-of-jail-free card is the come-on the church sells to the rubes. But what the church has always understood is that it's much, much better to own hotels from Pacific Avenue to Boardwalk.

First off, I hate the word "practice" in regards to religion. How does one "Practice" "The Force" or practice following Yoda? You don't "Practice" religion you buy into it. Instead what we should accept as humans is that labels don't automatically make an individual good or bad. What makes these individuals want to help out the poor and the homeless is our evolutionary empathy. Unfortunately those who hold the same belief in Jesus in the other camp see it as a threat to their social pecking order. But the reality neither side wants to face is that the source for justification for compassion or being a fucking dick is still coming out of the same book.

You practice sports. You practice music. You practice math and science. Religion is not not a practice any further than looking for excuses for your own desires.

Quote:how do you know the complainers were conservative christians? Maybe they were liberal atheists.

Fair point. Quite often, my liberal atheist friends and I will go round trying to close homeless shelters and food kitchens. For shits and giggles, we sometimes order a HUGE meal and eat it in front of homeless, hungry children while making *yummy* sounds.

Which ain't too far from South Carolina.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
