Was Christianity started to control the masses and dictate poltical agendas

I already know so much about me, because you keep reminding me

The irony of this statement 

, but I was wondering if there is anything about you that is worth hearing.

And min owes you a glimpse into his private life because?

So far there is silence from you, 

Shock someone might wanna keep their private life private. And not divulge their lives like a spastic tween on facebook to a total stranger . That bastard

of course that doesn't mean nobody knows about you,

Well you sure as hell seem to think you do

 you have a few challenges, besides weakness and poor health, a bit of flab, is that sputum on the screen? Wait a minute - you ate before -.

Okay Miss Cleo

No glimpse necessary, people who shout abuse are calling for attention over personal trouble.
As for you, you feel nagged all the time, why is that?
Don't say it's me, that will not get you over what's happening in your life.

Certainly nothing I'm inclined to tell a dumb fuck like you.

Go read your bible, moron.  It can't do you any more harm than it already has.

How come you feel like a "dumb fuck" ?
That must be pretty awful to have to live with?
I don't think you are that at all, quite the opposite.

Fuck off, jesus freak.

Grow up and stop believing in fairy tales.... or you can remain a fucking moron for your whole life.  You don't matter a piss in the wind to me one way or the other.

I don't matter a "piss in the wind" to you,
but then how does my belief in fairy tales matter so much that it causes you to have anger issues?

That doesn't sound very balanced does it?

You are suffering from something, and it isn't the beliefs of some stranger on the net.

When you are abusive in your language to people on the net, it is like advertising...

Religion sometimes angers atheists because it is a cultural force and people take it very seriously.... All the while, it's complete BS.

Politicians motivate blocs of voters with it. People want to limit gay rights because of it. On the extreme, you have elected officials saying we shouldn't worry about global warming because God promised Noah he wouldn't flood the world again. What a load!

People ACTUALLY BELIEVE that atheists don't have a moral compass, simply because we don't subscribe to a silly fairy tale. I've heard this several times in RL. People are baffled that atheists care about doing the right thing. The thing is, when a theist really wants to do something rotten, he just goes ahead and does it anyway. The only difference is, he has a weird mechanism for setting it right-- apologizing to a being who doesn't exist. Atheists have to set things right with the actual person we've wronged.

That's why "fairy tales" bother us. Because people take them seriously in their personal and political lives. How would you feel if congress passed laws that affected YOU because of Hindu reincarnation? How did it make you feel in the last paragraph when I insinuated that theists shirk moral responsibility? THAT'S HOW WE FEEL.

1. Nope people simply shout that they don't like you and that they find you condescending , self righteous  and arrogant .That has nothing to do with whether or not they have "personnel troubles" No matter how much you need to convince yourself that is the case . 

2. Nope not nagged anymore then any normal person. Just more of  your mind games crap . It don't work son . You can't get to me .   

3. And yes the harsh criticism you receive is because of you . And my life is fine thank you likely better then yours  i would imagine . Which might explain your bizarre preoccupation with insisting everyone who rightly chews you out has "troubles ". Of course unlike you i'm not going to pretend that i know .You may be a condescending , Self righteous, arrogant  bastard on this forum . But for all i know your nothing like that elsewhere .Or for all i know your a drug addicted ,wife abusing nut job who cloaks his awefulness in some mister rogers cloak and boasts of his epic profiling skills as a cover. Then seeks faults in everyone else by using said boasted skill to build an internal narrative and appease their inner demons .But again i'm not arrogant enough to assume that . Maybe you should consider that. Because your not the only one here who can profile people . But unlike you i would imagine i have actually profiled real criminals and people with "troubles " And counselled  them through them.

I don't matter a "piss in the wind" to you, 

Yup your opinion really don't mean dick

but then how does my belief in fairy tales matter so much that it causes you to have anger issues?

Min does not have anger issues . But being miffed that full grown adults believe  seriously  in a ludicrous collection of stories and insist they be taken seriously and actually have influence in civilization  . And FYI something does not need to be real or believed to invoke emotions. 

That doesn't sound very balanced does it?

It's perfectly balanced .  

You are suffering from something, and it isn't the beliefs of some stranger on the net.

Nope it is the beliefs of some stranger on the internet 

When you are abusive in your language to people on the net, it is like advertising...

Only that they think the stranger on the internet is an idiot and that their beliefs are idiotic . That's the only thing being "advertised "  no matter how much you try and read more into it.

Yeah he never said that .

Yes imagine it is . I hope you get over that banned .

I don't think you are that at all, quite the opposite.

On that we must disagree you are a dumb fuck

So that justifies an atheist utterly abusing and degrading other human beings who have a different opinion?

In other words if atheists were in power we'd have a communist regime?
And to be fair if the RCC was in power we'd be back in the dark ages?

Shirking moral responsibility can have any label.

Though I can imagine people are going to fault me for bringing this up: Plato wrote that there is a distinct difference between truth and opinion. A very, very, very, forceful opinion is nothing when compared to the most moderate and modest truth. Here is the question: do you even care what the truth is? Or are you so invested in an opinion that you would rather an opinion that suits you prevail over a truth that doesn't?

If Jesus Christ was interested in the world and had worldly power, we'd have a communist regime. Luckily, his "followers" (who hate him) have power. Because of that, we enjoy capitalism. Thanks for that.

If you Christians ever want to stop loving capitalism, let me tell you about a girl in Bangladesh who was sold into prostitution at 9 years old. Her mother and father were factory workers. Unable to stop the pull of the societal force which told them (against their every instinct) "your daughter is a commodity, not a person" they allowed it to happen. If you want to stop the objectification of human beings, you must stop capitalism. But you're too busy promoting Jesus-ism to fight capitalism , aren't you?

According to some schmuck: there is a heavenly kingdom and an earthly kingdom. Christians worship the latter and oppose anyone who doesn't do the same.
