"Don't take away people's hope"

[onlinebiker]

Do you twitch when you bark?

Or just froth at the mouth?

Sorry if imy offending you bothered you, but you your lack of understanding is not my baggage.

No lack of understanding here spanky...


You're a prime example of Pavlovian response...


Somebody says gun - you bark "NRA!"

BUT OLB in the spirit of the title of the thread "Don't take people's firearms away from them"

Just like , "Don't take lead out of gas"

Just like "Don't take lead out of paint"

Reality sucks doesn't it?

Hey - it' s your thread -- hijack it however you like....

[Shell B]

Yeah, so there's really no point in trying. I don't really know any atheists who do, fwiw.

Saying humans will do what they do is obvious. But progress never happened even with liberal theists by even liberal theists accepting the status quo.

Malala got shot multiple times as  Muslim defending girls right to get an education. MLK lost his life defending African Americans. 

There IS  a point trying. We no longer believe the earth is flat. Women have the right to vote. Blacks are no longer slaves.

Well have fun with that.

@OLB

Yea I hijacked the obvious statement that life is short and this is the only one all of us have.


If your idea of "hope" is more firearms, then to me, you are as bat shit insane as any Muslim or Christian or Jew that thinks that "If only more" will make all others submit to you.

Our species does not need more weapons or more religion. Our species needs more realization that we are THE SAME FUCKING SPECIES.

Maybe we should set up a Brian forum where only Brian can post.    Some day he could no doubt compile all his posts and self-publish them in a book, titled something like "the wisdoms of brian".

Yup.  They’re gonna do whatever it is they do anyway.  I don’t think that anyone in all of creation has ever had their religion taken from them.  I’m pretty sure it’s not possible, lol.  

People will have to abandon them themselves.

Yeah, so there's really no point in trying. I don't really know any atheists who do, fwiw.

Exactly. There’s a reason we spend our time here and not on Christian forums, trying to deconvert people.

I'll contribute if $$ is what it takes to get that idea off the ground.

Do we need to start crowdfunding?

It's fun to believe in imaginary things when you're a kid; be young, be innocent while you can, because you'll be a people-hating adult soon enough. But there comes a time when childish things should be left in childhood. Just as Santa is left behind, so should fictional mythological notions such as religion.

^^^^^^ BINGO

 We all fight each other over what? Temporary and finite control. No magic needed to know humans are merely seeking control over our environments. 


It would be nice if I could defeat my rivals forever and I could live forever. But I won't do either. The only thing all humans do is live and die. Between are where empathy, morals and compassion are defined. But at the same time, so are cruelty, ego, narcissism and greed.
