  last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

  our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

  me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

  Felt like starting a not so serious thread:

  So I'm sitting here watching madmen. And I can't stop. Episode after episode plays and I want to see them, but I hate this show.

  i can't stand how women are treated OR how they behave in this show, and I absolutely hate every male character. So why do I watch this show?

  anyone have a show like this?

  You quoted the bible out of context and mock anyone who disagrees with you.

  I am thinking Viviane is an undercover elder.

  I challenge this.

  please show us how she quoted it out of context.

  Reading the bible looking for technicalities to try and disprove it is the same mentality of reading the bible and finding reasons to let your children die from not giving them blood transfusions.
  

  Except that one requires ignoring the book and picking and choosing what is literal and not, as well as the self deception to dance around obvious things like vivs example - and the other involves none of that and taking the book at its word.

  Except for that I'd agree.

  Wow. Lol.

  Thats really the norm too, even for dubs. They all think they know it so well but then you point out something completely contrary to their doctrine, ideas, or some other part of the book and instead of just accepting it they dance around it like crazy people.

  Problems with Common Atheist Arguments

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the reason i entitled this "problems with common atheist arguments" instead of "the case against atheism" is that many atheists claim that atheism is not a belief system, makes no claims, and has no requirements to follow, so there's no way to argue against atheism itself.

  i will go along with this idea, and argue against the most frequently used arguments of atheists instead of atheism itself.disclaimer # 1: this is not an argument against atheism or all atheists.

  no, rather this is an argument against the most frequently used claims and arguments made by the atheists i speak to on twitter.

  LOL. You're revealing your own thoughts. According to you I'm some "derp", whatever that means, yet you keep answering me. Now you claim I'm some "derpster" who does what? Forces you to respond to my posts? Be careful you may be fulfilling a false stereotype.
  

  If you'd just look up derp you might understand why probably most readers are laughing heartily at this back and forth.

  Looking to the past we could find a myriad of tortures inflicted on the innocent. Was crucifixion a "religious" punishment in Rome or a secular one?
  

  All this really shows is the accuracy of saying that modern religion is an ancient morality. Back when these things were being done religion wasn't always the cause, but it always supported it and sometimes encouraged it.

  today it still encourages it, and directly causes huge amounts of suffering. And it is always certain to be somehow involved.

  Meanwhile, secularists are the only voice of reason that you hear.

  Religion kept people in darkness and ignorance while it reigned. It's ONLY SINCE ITS FALL that society has thought, "hey, some of these things are bad" and "people might have rights".
