Why? what's the sin that's so precious to you?


I don't understand your question.

What does sin have to do with expressing disinterest in Jesus for celebrating Easter?

What leads you to think being partial to a form of sin would have any place in an atheists thinking?

Jesus said that the reason people reject him is because they are afraid of being exposed, and having their pet sins removed.
So when you refer to Jesus, you are either talking about the belief that other people are supposed to have or the actual Son of God, and I'm just wondering if you are aware of who you are talking about or whether you are just generally sprouting?

You haven't addressed either of my questions.  Since you haven't addressed them I assume you just  see this as another opportunity to 'sprout off' in the hopes of bringing more lost lambs to god.  Yours is a masturbatory pursuit that does't really involve me in any way.  I'd prefer not to be dragged into it.

You assume too much.  The only thing I'm rejecting is a role for anything religious in my celebration of Easter.  For most of us, Easter in the US just means extra chocolate and special meals with friends and family.  For the religiously inclined there is more.  I don't partake in any of that.

No need to get your feelings hurt.  But not everyone subscribes to your beliefs.  If you feel rejected you'll have to deal with that.  Carry on as you are entitled to do in observing the holiday the way you like, I'll be doing the same.

No need to guess about that, when I refer to Jesus I definitely have in mind the belief that other people claim to have.  I'm aware that you all believe many different things about your messiah.  But I don't really care which you happen to hold or why you call your version the son of god.

"Jesus" said a lot of shit.  Who cares?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Gotta love it when a theist tells non-believers how we should feel or how we do feel.

Anyone who thinks they reserve the right to tell us that, can rightly fuck off.

OK, thanks.

So you don't want me to take you seriously because you don't care?
That's a bit of a contradiction to your other posts isn't it?

Would AF work if it didn't have punching bags?

I read some of the conversations you have among yourselves that isn't about bitching about believers and it hardly goes beyond the third post.
I would have thought that AF would have some really stimulating threads on evolution, but there's a rut called beating up on creationists which must be impossible to get out of, unless of course nature is just too interesting from a creationist's view.
