Solving the problems of atheists |
I think the only reason most of you come here is in search of love and
of each other, and in search of God. Your secret wish is to have God
confirmed to you. But oyu're afraid. That's why there's such a
competition to be the most profame about our Lord, and to denigrate
Him. it's just like little boys trying to be the toughest, when they
all knew deep down that they're just weak.
Atheism is the most macho disease. But at least there is a cure.

I have an open mind. I'm the BAAWA Warlord. The King of all 'in
your face' atheists. So what sequence of words do you have to convince
me a god exists?
This is not anger or hate. It's a serious inquiry into the realm of
superstition. I'm like the Brass Ring. If you can convince me, you
can convince anyone on this NG.
It's a challenge. My atheism against your religious logic.
The terms are... you can't use scripture, special pleading or
magic.
....or lies.

Atheism is the antithesis of following behind leader. It is instinctive in us
though, going back to those trying times when our ancestors lived in caves and
that same instinct is the driving force for some to follow a religion and all of
it's comfortable trappings; minus, of course, the god, which is purely
imaginary.
All rather silly isn't it?

No. You look at the evidence that we atheists provide to you Christian
'onlookers' that shows that you all have been fed a bunch of 1st-class
hooey -- in spades. Your problem is that you just don't want to face it. You
have somehow reached the conclusion that life is meaningless without belief
in the unbelievable. Look, you fundies can't be *that* dense that you cannot
see that there is no Jesus/God that 'Loves' you. If this imaginary creature
actually existed, don't you think he would trumpet his presence from the
heavens or something? Look even at the apostles. When they heard the
nonsense about Jesus being resurrected from the dead, *they* thought the
women reporting their *****-and-bull story were nuts. 'Doubting Thomas even
had to have a face-to-face with the 'King' (and 'No', I'm not talking about
Elvis) before he came to believe. If the apostles had to see and hear the
risen Jesus in the flesh (so to speak) before they 'believed', (which they
most certainly did *not*, you gullible brainwashed brainwasher, you -- Why
on earth should we moderns believe superstitious tales that absolutely defy
believability? The apostles didn't. Where in the hell is your proof of the
nonsense you adhere to and espouse?
Test: In Mt.12:40, Jesus declares that just as Noah was in the belly of
great fish for 'three days and three nights,' so would *he* be in the 'heart
of the earth' for exactly the same amount of time. How do you get 'three
days and three nights' out of Jesus' crucifixion at exactly the 'third hour'
on Friday to disappearing sometime *before* dawn on Sunday?
Don't bother trying to come up with a 'real' answer to the question. You
can't. And since you can't, I'd suggest you curtail your attacks on
atheists. Any number of us could kick your theological ***** all the way to
Timbuktu and back in a heartbeat. You are soooo wrong about your Jesus/God,
it isn't funny. Drop the arrogant attitude. You know crap.
Go ahead and believe that preposterous swill if you want. You are certainly
entitled to your beliefs. But quit parading around this newsgroup pretending
that you hold some sort of perceived supernatural 'truth' -- which you and
your ilk shamelessly impose on helpless and defenseless children -- that we
atheists are just too stubborn and ignorant to 'see'. You have *no* 'truth'
(or some kind of lock on morality). You people are just plain goofy -- and
dangerous. End of story.

Yes the children, brainwashed from birth. A new child arrives in a Catholic
family and is immediately labeled a Catholic with no concern at all about
whether that child may want to be one or not.
I sometimes make this point, but I seldom get a response other than a few
insults, maybe the first poster would care to comment, here goes:
You are a Christian, but say by awful chance you lost your mum and dad in a car
accident when you were just two years old, and say you had to be put up up for
adoption and you were adopted by a Hindu family, you would now follow a god
that has the body of a human and the head of an elephant.

The mind-infection of Theism is almost always contracted from the
immediate environment.
The particular strain of mind-virus that one acquires, (Christianity,
Islam, Anamist etc), solely reflects those wafting about at any one
time, especially emanating from adults in the infectious state.

Don't bother trying to come up with a 'real' answer to the question. You
can't. And since you can't, I'd suggest you curtail your attacks on
atheists. Any number of us could kick your theological ***** all the way to
Timbuktu and back in a heartbeat. You are soooo wrong about your Jesus/God,
it isn't funny. Drop the arrogant attitude. You know crap.
Go ahead and believe that preposterous swill if you want. You are certainly
entitled to your beliefs. But quit parading around this newsgroup pretending
that you hold some sort of perceived supernatural 'truth' -- which you and
your ilk shamelessly impose on helpless and defenseless children -- that we
atheists are just too stubborn and ignorant to 'see'. You have *no* 'truth'
(or some kind of lock on morality). You people are just plain goofy -- and
dangerous. End of story.
Yes the children, brainwashed from birth. A new child arrives in a Catholic
family and is immediately labeled a Catholic with no concern at all about
whether that child may want to be one or not.
I sometimes make this point, but I seldom get a response other than a few
insults, maybe the first poster would care to comment, here goes:
You are a Christian, but say by awful chance you lost your mum and dad in a car
accident when you were just two years old, and say you had to be put up up for
adoption and you were adopted by a Hindu family, you would now follow a god
that has the body of a human and the head of an elephant.

The mind-infection of Theism is almost always contracted from the
immediate environment.
The particular strain of mind-virus that one acquires, (Christianity,
Islam, Anamist etc), solely reflects those wafting about at any one
time, especially emanating from adults in the infectious state.
WHAT ?????
Which bit did you have a problem with?
It is a common (and very accurate) analogy, to compare religious
belief with pathogenic infection by a meme, transmitted by voice or
texts.
This is what I was (attempting) to do, in a few short sentences.
I cannot believe that you have not heard of the academic concept of
religious memes!

Of course, as in any unfamiliar field of study, one can read the
scores of academic tomes that have been written, and still not be
completely clear.
The field of study was made "popular" by Richard Dawkins, and Daniel
Dennett, to name but two luminary thinkers.
A starter for this fascinating topic might be:
http://www.cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/Dawkins/viruses-of-the-mind.html

Dawkins first mentioned it in 1976 in his book "The Selfish Gene". He
referred to such "viruses" as "memes". Some philosophers object to the
meme concept because they say the phenomena it was advanced to explain
can be explained without having to hypothesize a new entity (the meme).
(I learned this from hanging out on #philosophy on undernet.)

nonsense about Jesus being resurrected from the dead, *they* thought the
women reporting their *****-and-bull story were nuts. 'Doubting Thomas even
had to have a face-to-face with the 'King' (and 'No', I'm not talking about
Elvis) before he came to believe. If the apostles had to see and hear the
risen Jesus in the flesh (so to speak) before they 'believed', (which they
most certainly did *not*, you gullible brainwashed brainwasher, you -- Why
on earth should we moderns believe superstitious tales that absolutely defy
believability? The apostles didn't. Where in the hell is your proof of the
nonsense you adhere to and espouse?
Test: In Mt.12:40, Jesus declares that just as Noah was in the belly of
great fish for 'three days and three nights,' so would *he* be in the 'heart
of the earth' for exactly the same amount of time. How do you get 'three
days and three nights' out of Jesus' crucifixion at exactly the 'third hour'
on Friday to disappearing sometime *before* dawn on Sunday?
Sounds like early primitive fable to me !
Don't bother trying to come up with a 'real' answer to the question. You
can't. And since you can't, I'd suggest you curtail your attacks on
atheists. Any number of us could kick your theological ***** all the way to
Timbuktu and back in a heartbeat. You are soooo wrong about your Jesus/God,
it isn't funny. Drop the arrogant attitude. You know crap.
Go ahead and believe that preposterous swill if you want. You are certainly
entitled to your beliefs. But quit parading around this newsgroup pretending
that you hold some sort of perceived supernatural 'truth' -- which you and
your ilk shamelessly impose on helpless and defenseless children -- that we
atheists are just too stubborn and ignorant to 'see'. You have *no* 'truth'
(or some kind of lock on morality). You people are just plain goofy -- and
dangerous. End of story.
Yes the children, brainwashed from birth. A new child arrives in a Catholic
family and is immediately labeled a Catholic with no concern at all about
whether that child may want to be one or not.
I sometimes make this point, but I seldom get a response other than a few
insults, maybe the first poster would care to comment, here goes:
You are a Christian, but say by awful chance you lost your mum and dad in a car
accident when you were just two years old, and say you had to be put up up for
adoption and you were adopted by a Hindu family, you would now follow a god
that has the body of a human and the head of an elephant.

The mind-infection of Theism is almost always contracted from the
immediate environment.
The particular strain of mind-virus that one acquires, (Christianity,
Islam, Anamist etc), solely reflects those wafting about at any one
time, especially emanating from adults in the infectious state.
WHAT ?????
Basically, religion is a disease we catch from our parents. <G>
Well that's a novel way of putting it, but succinct as well.
Dawkins first mentioned it in 1976 in his book "The Selfish Gene". He
referred to such "viruses" as "memes". Some philosophers object to the
meme concept because they say the phenomena it was advanced to explain
can be explained without having to hypothesize a new entity (the meme).
(I learned this from hanging out on #philosophy on undernet.)

It has nothing to do with your spell-checker, sweety. Anyone with

that's okay too. You already mentioned that you like to please your
husband orally, and that's all that matters.

And, the troll sends the same identical message
under two different titles. I wonder how many
more times this sad trolliebite will do this.

I think this anger only confirms the pain that's there. You lash out
like this and I'm supposed to beleive atheism is true?
I don't really give a flying ***** what you believe in, deary, but don't be
surprised when you come in and ***** on our newsgroup and we have a bad
reaction towards it.
