I don't really blame him for leaving.

Stop it? When has religion/the Church ever stopped attacking its enemies? Lol.

What part of "in hopes of" didn't you understand?

As opposed to the 3000+ who didn't live through it, yes.  All it cost me was a classic motorbike, six windows, eight teeth, my left eye, a promising rugby career, and the dignity that should be afforded to any human being.  Fuck you.

I was actually trying to be somewhat nice for a change, but whatever.

Fuck right off.

Got a funny way of showing it, then. You seemed to be saying that all of the institutionalized bigotry in NI is fine, because some people come all right in the end.

But it's what you did say. Had enough of you. You've got no idea what goes in NI.

C'mon guys, no need to fight over such things, I'm pretty sure Bella meant no harm in this case - and remember I did call her a retarded asshole before or something Tongue

Yeah, we'll see if he comes back by chance. I was curious to read his testimony. I wish he would have just written it here instead of posting a link.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Christians haven't done more than mildly annoy me, personally.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Being fair to ALL religions here, they go way beyond annoying me with all the divisions they cause worldwide and the attempts at pulpit politics and religious laws that deny rights to others. But again, that is worldwide and every religion for me.

But no, not seeking a godless world as if you could force one anyway. But we do need to get more humans to shift their priorities to education and less poverty and stop letting religion go unchecked as far as ability to challenge it.

All 7 billion of us are still the same species.
