Did the Lord create peanut allergy to give the peanut a purpose?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The one who decries loudest always has something personally shameful to hide from the rest of the world.

When did this become nishantxavierforums.org? Our latest chuckle-fuck has done the best job ever of making the entire forum about them and their lies, misinformation, and general bullshit.

As arewethereyet said a few days ago, (and the more bs he posts, the easier it's getting") all we have to do is not feel the troll.
It will go away on its own. I'm as guilty as anyone .. but no more.
I may have another tact. Thinking it over.
"Militant Atheist Commie Evolutionist" is about as disrespectful as anyone can get.
"As you might have guessed, Fr. Guardini is referring here primarily to the reverence due the holy, but reverence also has “an everyday form,” he insists: respect. “Respect is the most elementary thing that must be perceptible if people are to associate with each other as human beings.” It must be shown irrespective of particular talents or accomplishments, but simply because the other person is a human being.
How is respect shown? Respect “means that one take another’s convictions seriously. I may fight against it, for if I am of the opinion that what he says in wrong, then I have right and, under certain circumstances, a duty to defend the truth as I see it.” But we must do this with respect, “conscious of the fact that I am dealing not with an abstract sentence in some book, but with a person” who, “if I see that he is mistaken, I may contend with him.” But I may not violate his conscience or wish to trick him by cunning."

I know of another forum, which I will not name, that has a new member who makes Sponge Bob Square Pants appear comatose.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
