Atheists (And God-Haters together) are very sick people with sick ideals |
atheists
i'm so damn sick of atheists going around proclaiming the word of God
Almighty to contradict itself. i'm sick of people saying that they don't
want to follow a god that judges. they create paradoxes and accept them as
fact only to force them upon people. rap causes violence? while a paradox it
is true. before rap, i never heard of gangs of urbaners gathering around
young, innocent girls, tearing their clothes off and dousing them in
alcohol. what was in the background the entire time? rap. yet some claim
(groups: believers) that if rap causes violence, then country music must
produce incest and what not. i've never heard a country song about some guy
fucking his sister and being proud of it. i have heard raps about killing
and rape. rock? it does support drug use. r&b? it's why theres so much sex
in the new generations. it's the whole reason why 50% of girls are sluts and
90% of guys chase them, and what the hell, if the chance comes up, rapes
them. oddly enough, none of that has to do with the Christian population.
try opening a Bible or going to a church before you judge Christians.
Atheists 2
Atheists are so full of themselves! I respect their decision to not worship
a higher power (namely, God.) Over 50% of them go around preaching their
beliefs to those who DO believe in a higher power (again, God.) In my
English class, there are two atheists. One is a good friend of mine. If my
teacher says anything about God, Bob (name changed for protection) will go
off in some weird rant about how He doesn't exist.
If we wanted their opinions...we would've asked, now wouldn't we?
Now, I agree that some Christians (this IS the south, mind you) try to
preach their beliefs. I'm a high school student, though, and about 85% of
the population here believes in God. About 75% doesn't care to go telling
everyone what they believe...because it doesn't matter. (Just so you're
aware, the other 10% is pretty much the popular southern baptist/methodist
kids.)
Most atheists try to make their beliefs as something that makes them
different. This makes them think that they're entitled to telling everyone
just how different they are. Again, for the last and final point: If we
wanted your opinion: we would've asked for it.

Just you concentrate on your studies Son. When you leave school you can
study biology maybe and then come back and discuss things with us on a
better level. Education first remember...good luck and we hope you get
educated soon.

I wonder where Ambrosini plagarized this from. The last time he posted, he
was a woman with a young child, and before that, he was a cop, and before
that, he was the manager of a Wall Mart with a 30, 000 square foot house.

Try an enema. It's good for the crap you have
inside of you.
People who want to share their religious
views with you almost never want you to
share your views with them.

What the??? Anyone who believes "the word of God Almighty"

And here's a clue: if you're "so damn sick" of a topic, don't
bring it up. Last time I cited a contradiction in the Bible,
it was in response to some religious nut issuing a "Challenge

it; I just demonstrated it when asked, so be mad at that guy,

Nutcases ?????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
The universe revolves around the earth.
Stars are pinpricks in the heavens.
The world is flat (and on pillars)
Bats are a kind of bird.
Rabbits chew their cud.
There is enough water to flood the entire planet
Women were created from a man's rib
Rainbows are a promise from God
[Acknowledgements to 'James, Seattle']
Ooooooh yes, the atheists are the nutcases for sure ! ROFL

Humor [Humour!] ?? !!
No shortage of that once primitive supersitious hogwash has been well and
truly dumped. Not too keen are yer to think you are similar to a giraffe,
he got a long neck, you gotta freak brain. Well not just you, we all did.
Never mind, there are thousands of man made of gods to choose from if you
reckon praying to one of 'em is going to help.
Cheers,
It's Christmas
One morning a man comes into the church on crutches.
He stops in front of the holy water and splashes some on both of his legs,
then throws away the crutches.
An Altar boy witnessed the scene and runs into the rectory to tell the
priest what he'd just seen.
Without batting an eye the priest says Son, you've just witnessed a miracle!
Tell me, where is this man?
He is flat on his backside, Father, over by the holy water.
If any cleric or monk speaks jocular words, such as
provoke laughter, let him be anathema.
[Ordinance, Second Council of Constance [1418]]
If you are not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don't want to go there.
[Martin Luther (1483-1546)]
There is overwhelming circumstantial evidence that evolution happened, and
overwhelming evidence that the theists are either lying or delusional (or
both), since not one of their deities has ever manifested themselves to
anyone in a manner that can be verified by others (without a leap of faith).
Ever. [Unless you count grilled cheese sandwiches as proof.]
[Neil Kelsey 2004]

No kidding. Thee doesn't know me very well, does thee?

I'll keep thy 'man made of gods' under consideration as soon as I
parse the ***** out of it, cos it don't make no good sense the way thee
wrote it.

It is, indeed.
(snip rather poor joke)
A man is praying,'God, you know I'm a good man, and I'm in sort of a
bind. If you could let me win the lottery this week, it would be a
true blessing.'
He doesn't win.
The next week, the man prays 'God, you *know* I'm a good man. I tithe
and I go to church, and I treat my kids right. I really need the
money, Lord, so let me win the lottery this wee.
He doesn't win.
The third week the man, getting angry, prays 'All right, God. I don't
know what You want. I'm a good man, I don't commit adultery or covet
my neighbor's *****, I love my neighbor as myself. Why don't You let me

No shortage of that once primitive supersitious hogwash has been well and

No need, evolution dealt with us all along the same lines, the only difference

Never mind, there are thousands of man made of gods to choose from if you

I'll keep thy 'man made of gods' under consideration as soon as I

rather snide response
A man is praying,'God, you know I'm a good man, and I'm in sort of a
bind. If you could let me win the lottery this week, it would be a
true blessing.'
He doesn't win.
The next week, the man prays 'God, you *know* I'm a good man. I tithe
and I go to church, and I treat my kids right. I really need the
money, Lord, so let me win the lottery this wee.
He doesn't win.
The third week the man, getting angry, prays 'All right, God. I don't
know what You want. I'm a good man, I don't commit adultery or covet
my neighbor's *****, I love my neighbor as myself. Why don't You let me
win the lottery?'
Suddenly a voice comes to him from Heaven...

About on a par with mine.
Try this on for size:
And lo a stranger journeying from afar came unto a village where women were
drawing water from a well. The stranger tarried there and spoke with them
saying "Give me water as I am exceedingly thirsty" and the women gave him
water. And lo he tarried the whole day and with one of the women he tarried
the whole night.
When the morning cometh he continued on his journey.
Many moons later the stranger came again to the same village where women were
drawing water and he espied the one he had tarried with the whole night.
On seeing him she cried out saying "Stranger I must speak with thee; see, I am
with child, what steps art thou going to take"?
And he replyeth unto her saying,
"Fucking big stepsÓ

If thee knew me thee would know that I too believe in the fact of
evolution. Being a Friend is no bar to being a scientist, which is
lucky for me if not for thee.
If thee can find major differences between thy MRI and mine, or
between theists and atheists in general, I might consider thy
argument. But there isn't any correlation, and certainly no pathology
in either condition, only excepting the rare cases of right temporal
lobe epilepsy or other insult to that part of the brain
(physiologically, the right temporal lobe is where the religious
impulse is stored. It's there whether it's used for theism, atheism,
agnosticism, or apatheisms. No one, least of all I, know why it's
there, but it is. Thee could look it up).
If thee has anything factual--that is, scientifically tested,
duplicated, and published, that says different, lemme know, cos I know
some neurologists who'd be really interested.

No better, Friend. Try, try again.
A salesman makes a cold call to a number. A small voice answers. 'Hi,
son, is your mother home?'
'Yes, but she's busy.'
Salesmen are never put off. 'OK, is your dad home?'
'Yes, but he's busy.'
Once more into the breach. 'Is there any other grownup in the house I
can speak to?'
'The policemen and the firemen, but they're busy.'
Curiosity finally conquers. 'So why are your mom and dad and the

'They're looking for something.'

Lizz all yer psuedo intellectual stuff up there and you send me that one!
I tried, but I couldn't get a titter out of that one !
Try this and be honest whether it made thee laugh or not:
There was a young man name of Dave
Who kept a dead ***** in a cave.
He said, "I'll admit
I'm a bit of a *****;
But look at the money I save."
OK try this one, be honest now:
A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital with an oxygen mask over
his mouth and nose and still heavily sedated from a four hour operation.
A young nurse appears to sponge his hands and feet.
Nurse", he mumbles from behind the mask, "Are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, I'm only here
to wash your hands and feet." He struggles again to ask, "Nurse, Are
my testicles black?" Finally, she pulls back the covers, raises his gown,
holds his privates and jiggles them around a bit, takes a close look and says,
"There's nothing wrong with them!"
The man pulls off his oxygen mask and says very slowly, "That was very nice but
listen very, very closely
-- are... my... test...results...back?

What pseudo-intellectual crap? Thee made a claim--that religious

claim with some cites from the usual peer-reviewed stuff. This is

I try to be honest pretty much all the time, and I found thy jokes

Besides, although thee may call scientific evidence
'pseudo-intellectual crap', I don't, and I'd like to see the cites.

I have never tried to prove scientifically that there is a God. I've
never claimed I (or anyone else, pace George Hammond) could. It's a
matter of faith, not science.

Thee may not be, but I am. Where are thy cites that clearly state that
the brains of religious people are aberrant? This is a serious
inquiry. If this is simply a matter of faith to thee, then say so and
be done with it.

Never ceases to amaze me how people can be nasty on ng's but then nice and
polite when face to face, one on one?
I would be most depressed were it shown that 'real' humanity is the one that
posts on ng's and the pleasant one on one chat is not the way we actually prefer
things to be.
Could be said the internet is a revealing medium when it comes to anylysing and

It's easier to be nasty on Usenet cos thee can't see anyone's pain.
I would be most depressed were it shown that 'real' humanity is the one that
posts on ng's and the pleasant one on one chat is not the way we actually prefer
things to be.
Some folks are just the same in Real Life. I'm not much different on
the hoof, but then I try not to rip people new assholes over
trivialities.My caro sposo (whom I met on USENet) is the same. I
strongly believe that people should be accountable for their actions,
so I always use my real name on Usenet (although until my caro sposo
do that voodoo that he do so well, I show up under his name, but it's
still me). Personal responsibility is vitally important--it's not just
cos I'm a Quaker, it's cos it's the right thing to do.
Could be said the internet is a revealing medium when it comes to anylysing and
showing the true colours of the human psyche.
I doubt it. Usenet users are a self-selected group. The vast majority
of people in this fine pretty world are not even aware of its
existence, so I would hesitate to draw conclusions based on such a
limited sample.
Cheers and Happy New Year.
And to thee and thine. I just hope thee is warmer than we are. To
paraphrase James Blunt and steal shamelessly from 'Dead Ringers': It's
bloody cold out here.
