And they are better than Muslims, how?

http://www.npr.org/2012/02/14/146538958/rhode-island-district-weighs-students-prayer-lawsuit

And atheist girl bravely points out the illegality going on in a public school, funded by tax payer dollars, that has been going on for half a century. Instead of correcting the problem, the local Christians threaten to kill her forcing the local police to escort the girl during school.

So where's all that "love thy neighbor" crap?

The real hypocrisy is that if a school had a Islamic prayer, all the Christians would be up in arms banning Sharia Law. Funny how separation of church and state only applies to other people's religions.

    Without the death threats

    Well, that's a big fucking change Marcus. Christ, Marcus, do you have children? If someone made a death threat against your daughter and you didn't know whether it was just some asshole blowing steam or a crazy zealot who intended to go ahead with it, wouldn't you be damn concerned?

    Look I grew up with Catholics and Christians. They can be brutal sometimes no doubt. I've seen people put through "hell" for what they consider "perversion". They go to church then the next day are merciless with their teasing of those that don't "fit in". Now the people that "get" all this religious bullshit or know its bullshit. Have sympathy for the people picked on. However they don't do one fucking thing to get rid of the "religious bullshit". So "religous bullshit" is a standard used to keep people in line. Paying there bills. Not giving the people "in charge" any trouble. The people that don't "fit in" are causuaties in all of this. They consider that "tough shit". Because once again in order to make "religion" work. You have to have a "bad guy". So to speak. The rich are "bad guys" however they are left till the "bitter end". Where "God" gets them. The rest? Well if they are dumb enough to fight back. Well they have their fight. While the rich with half a brain just let them wait for the apocolypse. Letting them be good little Christians turning the other cheek. Taking their cloak, pants and underwear. With the stupid little Christians just happy as hell because well the rich will get theirs in the end. Take a tip from the rich. Leave them the fuck alone and they go away. One thing you'll notice from that book. Other religions, "perverts" get theirs right now. Read the book. You'll see he fucks up everyone with a bad religion. He even stones perverts. The GD rich he leaves alone till the end. Why? It's who had the "book" printed. It wasn't Anton Levey. It was the people that wanted to be left alone while they stole every fucking thing they could find. I can see I'll never see anyone with much sense about this. Why? Because people love to be in their division. Which they are a part of in the first place, its cozy. They love a good fight. To some its better than being rich. The sad part watching their, wheels spinning, taking up their life. It's sort of a distraction from their reality. A form of entertainment. The funniest part is watching the well meaning non-Christians trying to talk "sense into the Christians. While the Christians are pretty sure the non-christians are in league with the devil.

    The Christians of course at the same time are trying to talk their sense into the non-christians. Yes folks it can go on forever. At least till the end when nothing fucking happens and the rich enjoy a marvelous life. Courtesey of the very, very rich that were smart enough to print the book in the first place. To keep everyone away from them their familes and their stuff. While the rest work for some kind of cause or religion or philosophy not giving up until the bitter end. Each side, arguing, fighting trying their best to get the other side out of their delusion. Because thats what a nice person does. All in the meanwhile they are busy carting off everything you have or should have.

    If anyone is curious what narcissistic personality disorder looks like, this is textbook.

    Dan8267 says

    Your perception of me does not reflect reality. Nor could your mind comprehend my thoughts. It's best you simply accept that you are incapable of understanding me as I can't dumb down me enough for you to understand.

    or this:

    Dan8267 says

    In my opinion, you are simply jealous of my intellect and your fragile ego cause you to be obsessed with fighting everything I say even when you know it's right. Instead of learning from me, which a more mature person would do, you throw little tantrums.

    Dan8267 says

    You will never understand this, and that is what makes you intellectually inferior. Well, that and you refuse to learn from others when they graciously offer to share their understanding with you.

    This is choice quote from another thread:

    Dan8267 says

    Talk is cheap. All that matters is what you can accomplish.

    I've done all of the following. How many have you done?

    1. Written open-source code that is used by people on every continent and almost every country.
    2. Designed and built a working computer right down to the level of digital logic gates.
    3. Built a robot with a neural network capable of learning and obeying commands.
    4. Implemented video encoders and decoders.
    5. Wrote code that transmits pages of the Wall Street Journal over Dow Jones' corporate satellites.
    6. Wrote chess playing AIs.
    7. Built ecommerce systems under various architectures.
    8. Wrote code for law enforcement that tracks down pedophiles using the information embedded in digital images and displaying the address where the picture was taken on Google Earth.
    9. Created 3D rendering engines and applications with 3D interfaces.
    10. Wrote various distributed processing systems including audio encoder load balancers and ray tracers.

    And that's just to name a few things I've done over the course of my career. You, Marcus, could not do any of those things. Every single one of those things above requires far greater mastery of logic than you could even imagine.

    You want to impress me with how good you are at logic? Implement an encoder for MPEG-4. I doubt you'd even be able to figure out how to calculate motion vectors. As they say in Texas, you are all hat and no cattle.

    Wow, impressive !

    (He might not realize how bizarre this is. It's the only time ever on Patnet or any other forum that I have seen someone list accomplishments - a resume - (oh and a snippet of code (wow real code) as the reason why they are correct in an argument)

    I like the juxtapostion of that with this:

    Dan8267 says

    A person like me is never wrong for very long because once someone else shows a good, rational reason why one of our beliefs is incorrect, we immediately reject our old idea and embrace the new one. But I suppose someone of your personality type can't understand this. You are ego-driven and I am driven by rational thought.

    He can say I'm ego driven, but these quotes prove that he's talking about himself. I did challenge him recently on a trivial logic issue, but that was only because previous to that he had asserted (similar to above) his superior logic skills, and my lack. He said no way do I have a the background I said I did (Masters degree in MAthematics),which I only very reluctantly told him after a lot of arguing about logic and stupid assertions on his part that he had proven God doesn't exist and that all religion and spirituality is evil.

    I might have also once called him a dysfunctional child, but haven't I given you proof of that as well (above)?

    Dan, I hope you can reconcile some of the key relationships in your life, which might help you to have a less imbalanced view of religion, and also to grow up. But meanwhile, I have to stick with my previous position that you are a dysfunctional adolescent prick.

    (Go ahead and send this to jail Patrick - and I'm gone. Btw like/dislike is a huge mistake - maybe later- but this isn't big enough for that yet. Proof: Dan is second only to Iwog (deserving), in likes ? Figure it out.)

    By the way, Dan says I argue with everything he says. Actually I agree with some of things he says, just not much in the area of religion, but it was my arguments with him about religion where I first dared to point out his arrogance (see evidence above) that started us in this ugly NPD pattern.

    This is a little off yet to me its good for a laugh.

    Britain and France demanded Syrian President Bashar al-Assad cease attacks against the besieged opposition stronghold of Homs to allow three journalists to receive medical care.

    How many times have we read something like that? Think about it. We are outraged of course. Because well its newspeople folks. The ones that bring us the stark truth every single day of the week. Now they are under attack from the people that CENSOr and lie. British and french journalists always get lost and captured for some reason. Cause if a Journalist gets hurt whoah fuck. If they did get another gov't installed. They would chuckle at all the stupid people that actually believe that they had won their revolt. Take a look at the Democracy in Iraq and Afganistan. It's a fucking joke. You don't let countries like that go after all the effort gone to. For the purpose you went after them in the first place. If you think otherwise. You really believe in Jesus way to much. Or you have the ideaolgy of a 12 year old.

    You've got your women, childern. Unspeakble acts. God do somethings. Throw in your journalists abused or cornered. Let see what else. Oh a target or two to outrage a country (thats if it really gets bad). Involve some Nato countries an outrage or two. Just so they can get the right puppet back in there. If you don't think Assad is their buddy. Think again. Mollamars didn't have a friend in the world. Ole Assad has the *trifecta of nuclear nonsense on his side. Deal is how to help him out. In a genuine revolt. Of large proportions. If hes been dead well fuck. What would Jesus do?

    So Operation HARD PUPPET continues.

    They tried it in Egypt folks you saw. They now have just about every ministry building. Even showing old film of the parliment meetings. They are huddled in a bunker just praying the outraged Egyptian people don't get ahold of them.

    Call that one Operation Fucked Puppet.

    *Nuclear trifecta exlained: A group of counties that have never gone to war with each other even before the "stink bomb" was invented. Nations that claim to be the "richest" on earth. Each country has aligned with it as many naive nations it can bullshit. Pliable bullshitted nations sometimes in "Zone" near largest trifecta bullshitter (eastern europe, duh)One example. Trifecta consists of 3 countries that have robbed the earth blind.

    I get tired of this country setting up its own serve to invade another country. Question on CNN. Why isn't the world coming to help Syria. When setting up a puppet one has to be clever. If not even with their own people. Especially when they have one of the most incredible puppets ever in show. (I mean guys if you believe that one up there now in a country that has never fucking elected minority even to govenor. Your really gullible and lost in life. It just ain't natural.) Anyway no one wants to be invaded by this country and puppeted by it or the Nuclear Trifecta. That is if they know it.

    So your being prepared for another great victory for democracy in Syria or some Russian strongman. Either way is should work out for US cause well in like in good ole Iraq. Iran has its pipelines right into its *refinery from the conqeored Iraq. Russia is pumping oil right there along with its buddy China and it really good ole boy poker player the U.S.

    *They ship straight to terminal by the way. B.P. Shell, Exxon etc. Its much eaiser to refine heavy crude first then ship.

    When you questioned my credentials, I can justify my experience in my areas of expertise. You can't.

    I never questioned your credentials, but you twice have thought that showing us some code (gawwwleee - real programming code), and another time you thought that giving me your resume, was some kind of substitute for an argument. This is in fact what happens when you realize you are logically on thin ice.

    "i'm not all about being right." Yeah, right, like you don't know that about yourself,...really?

    Dan8267 says

    no one would obsess so much over a random adolescent prick.

    I'm not obsessing. Just trying to give you some constructive feedback to you about your bizarre behavior (see quotes above).

    Dan8267 says

    you are stalking me on this site

    Right. It's all about you, not your post "Christians Send Death Threats to a 16-Year-Old Girl."

    IF you want to learn more about NPD there are many internet sources, such as http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001930/

    Symptoms

    A person with narcissistic personality disorder may:

    React to criticism with rage, shame, or humiliation

    ding ding

    Dan8267 says

    You've never added anything to a conversation other than vicious personal attacks and deception

    Dan8267 says

    I can only conclude that your dick is so small that any woman would laugh at the sight of it. This is perhaps quite typical of trolls.

    Perhaps you wouldn't be such a whinny, spiteful bitch if only you got some the last time you went to the cemetery. I guess you shovel must have broke.

    Other Symptoms

    Take advantage of other people to achieve his or her own goals

    Have excessive feelings of self-importance

    ding ding

    Exaggerate achievements and talents

    ding ding

    Be preoccupied with fantasies of success, power, beauty, intelligence, or ideal love

    ding ding

    Have unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment

    Need constant attention and admiration

    Disregard the feelings of others, and have little ability to feel empathy

    Have obsessive self-interest

    Pursue mainly selfish goals

    Dan8267 says

    But like many trolls, you claim to be experts in things that you are not.

    Interesting.

    http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/news/20070601/small-penis-syndrome-common

    Small-penis syndrome is the anxiety of thinking one's penis is too small

    ding ding

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=small%20penis%20syndrome

    Personality syndrome identified by low self esteem in association with a disproportionately small penis. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, the provocation of others in argument in an effort to boost the Small Penis Syndrome (SPS) sufferer's low self esteem. SPS is easily identifiable among owners of monster trucks and forum trolls.

    ding ding

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropenis

    a male with a penis too small to put into a vagina could not find a satisfactory social and sexual place in society.

    ding ding

    http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=24026

    A certain psychological rigidity, obsessionality or fixation is present. These men are absolutely adamant in their conviction that their genitalia are too small. They insist that they have measured themselves and seem inordinately focused on such measurement. They are similarly convinced that they are incapable of pleasing a woman via intercourse, although they are, by and large, not able to cite much evidence to show that this is true. In fact, many of these men admit to having had few or no sexual experiences. There is an implication that some of the few sexual experiences had by some of these men were with prostitutes. Many may have had only a single sexual encounter. Others state that they avoid sexuality entirely as they feel deeply ashamed of their penis size. All of these men affirm the belief that women would universally treat them with contempt if they were to see them nude.

    They even have a picture of you, Marcus!

    http://www.news-medical.net/news/2007/06/01/25800.aspx

    Women are much more interested in a man's personality and looks than the size of his penis,

    Sorry, I guess that doesn't help you since you're ugly and have no personality, but hey, just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

    Very creative.

    The difference is that I really do think you have NPD, and the quotes I gave are really good evidence of it.

    Do you really think someone who is confident of their superior intellect talks like that ? They don't. Trust me. In fact nobody does except the most royal type of jerk.

    But from what I know of NPD, and other character disorders as well, is you won't come close to seeing it. In fact you have no idea how such comments reflect on you.

    I'm not angry. But I am vicariously embarrassed for you at this point.

    ps: I would be flattered that you can't stop thinking about my penis, but sorry, I'm straight.

    World powers convening Friday in Tunisia are working to deliver aid to the Syrian opposition, while Arab nations (FedEx) have begun supplying arms to rebels, sources say: Meawhile Saudi Arabia (FedEx)(Das Vidania) (Should say ARAMCO on the box. Pronounced Armco) will be handling arms shipments for the Assad government. Hey are those guns in that oil equipment?

    http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2008/me_saudis0668_11_04.asp

    Adnan Khashoggi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    UNITED STATES WHEN YOU SEND THE TRICKLE TO THE REBELS MAKE SURE YOU SEND 70 TIMES AS MUCH TO ASSAD. HIS GANG IS RUNNING OUT OF BULLETS.

    Showing you how the game is played daily. CUZ..

    tHEY SAId don't come back here yankee cause if you ever do......

    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the opposition Syrian National Council is emerging as an alternative to the Bashar al-Assad regime and that the consensus opinion among Arab League and other nations.

    This ought to be hysterical. Want to see them try to install their puppet? Right before your eyes.

    Notice it did not say the Assyrian people that are revolting. Its a consensus of outsiders. I asked my GF. Syrians don't know who the fuck these people are. It's not the people in the streets thats for sure. So in essence they have spilled their blood to put the same people in power. That were before. Shhh wonder how they will get Assad out shhh.

    I want you to notice one thing. When they march these new "leaders" in watch the army stand down. Another democratic miricle folks. The key is easy installation.

    Where ever the assholes gather. There the puppet will be.

    How many time are they going to run that fucking Iran story? Shit its been going on for years. Blow something up already then we will pay attention to it no one gives a damn. They are religous maniacs that never seem to do anything. YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THE PIPELINE THAT RUNS STRAIGHT OUT OF IRAQ INTO THE IRANIAN OIL REFINERY THAT EVERYONE AND HIS FUCKING BROTHER KNOWS ABOUT NOW. TALK ABOUT THE EMPEROR WEARING NO CLOTHES. YOUR DANCING NAKED IN A FUCKING LAUNDRYMAT. Your good. Your righteous. You would even make a great retail store mannequin. Thank you from saving us from the Apocolypse. I really don't look forward to a horde of Ronald Reagans and Jerry Falwells coming out of the abyss with stingers on them......... There is something really fucking warped about those people that keep all this war bullshit going.

    I'm a self made person. When I was very young I got to know a guy that was older. He owned several duplexes. Never told me a fucking thing about his business. I used to sit there talking with him. I calculated. I stuffed it in my long term memory. It wasn't till much later I pulled all of that out again and used it. You don't need a bullshit university. You don't need any fucking education. My point? I am a business person. To get anywhere in my opinion. It takes being not gullible.

    These MF's are telling me there is a Nuclear Reactor in fucking Iran. After they raped and pillaged Iraq. Iran has a pipeline running from Iraq right into its oil refineries. Now one of two things could be going on here. We could gullible idiots. OR your obviously doing business with Iran. Which I pick because it makes sense. Which also = nuclear poo.

    So with that finished. I declare America. The United States. OWNED. Democracy is bullshit. Your elections are rigged. Just like the one in Afganistan. Just like the one in Iraq. I'm supposed to sit here an believe a minority that could not get past minority status accept in minority congressional districts was legitimately elected. You did that to pacify the people of the countries you invaded. Also the world. You also know the people of this country are "owned" in debt and much of them, really indoctrinated and gullible. I also noticed something you like to back down after an unsuccesful invasion like say Vietnam. It appears to be so God sent. When in fact you plan many years ahead for your next incursion.

    Your honest news is filled with people that talk about whats in front of them. They don't have any brains and look good talking about whats within the framework of what they should say.

    Was America never OWNED. I think not. I think this bullshit has been going on for a long long time. I've given up on the zombies that really fall for the BS. I'm not going to waste time trying to deprogram religous nutcases or patriotic retards.

    I can buy property anywhere on earth. Mexico, Canada, Britian even Russia. Not that I speak the language. I'm not naive enough to believe those places are to dangerous to live in. Just like the inner city which I frequent. Isn't anything but very friendly. You love to scare the hell out of people for some reason. Everything is a threat. Especially from other countries. The United States is nothing more than a country of invaders. That set up their serve. Then follow through with the invasion when they can. You can see them setting up their serve. By the telling of the horrors of something going on in another country. The USA is bullshit. I don't believe a word they say.

    The only thing that really bothers me is: I get to see the ludicrious BS that is spilled out daily. In uniform fashion across hundreds of different papers and newsources all carrying the same bullshit stories. I mean am I supposed to be that fucking gullible not to see all those different news sources all carrying the SAME FUCKING STORIES? You call Hitler scary. Your the fucking scary people. Its way, way beyond Facism. Its not propaghanda. Its advanced propaghanda. When you can get people to believe the stuff you spew out in identical fashion and have them not think something is wrong. Its downright frightening. It also shows me who OWNS all the news and information. I will add google and the other "engines" you catalogued and put in line. Dumping anything that could get you to whats really going on.

    Individual commerce once again should come as no suprise. Its all over the earth. That no control freak country can stop. So I'm really not impressed that I can buy and sell with no problem. You like to tout that. However its hard to stop. If you could find a way to control that I am sure you fucking would. I consider myself to be lucky enough to live in a country that is way to busy pursuing larger fish. The big kill. Raping the resources of any planned invasion you have your fucking eagle eye on. That keeps you out of my life. That I am grateful for.

    Thank whatever is good for Patrick.net. For the people on here. That refuse to be fucking cattle. That think for themselves. That aren't gullible enough to fall for "anything".

    I don't like gullible, pliable people. They aren't worth knowing.

    I'll say it one more time Christian, Catholic and I am very sure even muslims. They are wonderful social organizations. One of the best ways to meet friends, aquaintences, people of similar ilk and interests. People that like the same sports teams. Good places in my experince to have a really good time. There is nothing quite like them. Even the local business establishments like them. They get together and go into those places. I have met some fine upstanding women there. Not to mention "soiled" women trying to repent and recover their respectability. Yes I was always there to help. Most people realize it or not go there for social reasons. Its the part they love most about it. The rest is way to confusing to me anyway.

    Thanks for reading my. Comments that far back. to the beginning when I has that exchange with Elliemay.

    But seriously, I wouldn't expect perfection, or criticize your writing if it didn't seem almost like a parody of someone who writes a lot of sentence fragments. The truth is I find it hard to read, hard to follow and I guarantee others feel the same. I was really just trying to give you some feedback and would have preferred to do it without hurting your feelings.

    Dan8267 says, "The only way to protect society from religious crazies is to take away the power of religion all together. Religion causes people to do bad things, and this incident along with countless others proves it."

    Two statements, each more ignorant than the other. Lets address the first: religion is not so much an institution as a set of personally held beliefs that purport to guide ones life path. This means that it exists on a level that precedes any sort of politics or government intervention. To eliminate it is to eliminate those who hold such beliefs. Since that is what you advocate: congratulations! You most resemble chairman Mao! If given a choice you would kill millions to advance your ideology.
    Second statement: also ridiculous. To assert that religion makes people do bad things is about as meaningful as to say that antibiotics make people die of allergic response. Yes, some people use religion as an excuse for violence, hatred, and bigotry, but some atheists use "religious injustices" as an excuse to act like assholes. Looking at the greater picture, religious people do a lot of good. The vast majority of people who give to charities or serve in them are of one faith or another. Percentage wise it isn't even close, with atheists being rather stingy and self interested in comparison to the much more giving religious crowd. Christians in particular tend to be very generous with their time and resources in assisting the poor and people in trouble.
    How much did you give to charity last year? My wife and I average over $10,000 annually.

    Why is it that whenever someone claims a someone else is ignorant on this site, the writer proves himself to be ignorant?

    Quigley says

    Bullshit. Philosophy is a set of personally held beliefs that purport to guide one's life. Religion is a hierarchical power structure based on superstition. The Catholic Church is most certainly a power structure, not a set of beliefs, which is why Catholics can argue with each other. The same is true for all religions.

    Quigley says

    This means that it exists on a level that precedes any sort of politics or government intervention.

    More bullshit. Religion is entirely a political structure and it materially affects government and is often enforced by government, especially in theocracies like Middle Eastern states. There has never been a religion that hasn't tried to coerce people to behave in specific ways.

    Quigley says

    To eliminate it is to eliminate those who hold such beliefs. Since that is what you advocate: congratulations! You most resemble chairman Mao!

    You are the biggest fucking idiot in the world. This has to be the mother of all Straw Man arguments. There isn't an empty chair big enough to stand beside you on stage as you rant your delusions to the world. To suggest that I believe that all religious people must be killed to end religion is just plain fucking retarded on a level I cannot even comprehend.

    I'd explain to you why you're wrong, but if you actually believe that then you are so fucking bat-shit delusional that no explanation would enlighten you for you are willfully ignorant and happy to stay that way.

    It's really impossible to have any respect for a person using such a blatant and disingenuous Straw Man argument. I could actually respect you if you disagreed with the positions I do advocate, but when you disagree with positions that no one outside your fantasyland mind advocates, I just have to consider you the village idiot.

    Quigley says

    To assert that religion makes people do bad things is about as meaningful as to say that antibiotics make people die of allergic response. Yes, some people use religion as an excuse for violence, hatred, and bigotry, but some atheists use "religious injustices" as an excuse to act like assholes.

    When a person bombs an abortion clinic, he's doing it specifically because of his religion. When someone holds up a sign reading "God hates fags!", he's doing it not despite his religion but precisely because of it. The assholes who threaten the girl in this thread's article did so specifically because of their religion. When the terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center, religion wasn't an excuse to act like assholes, it was the prime motivation. Name one atheist suicide bomber. Your statement is empirically false, and that's the worst kind of false.

    Quigley says

    Looking at the greater picture, religious people do a lot of good.

    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
    - Steven Weinberg

    To suggest that religion is responsible for empathy, compassion, or generosity if utterly ridiculous. The Republican Party disproves that theory every day. Hell, countless other social species have all these traits without religion.

    Quigley says

    The vast majority of people who give to charities or serve in them are of one faith or another. Percentage wise it isn't even close, with atheists being rather stingy and self interested in comparison to the much more giving religious crowd.

    How much did you give to charity last year? My wife and I average over $10,000 annually.

    Given all the other lies you stated, why would I trust an unverified brag? Not to mention, you and I probably have very different ideas of what constitutes a charity. I don't consider the American Family Association to be a charity, but I do consider the American Civil Liberties Union to be one. In any case, you sure don't let the facts get in they way of your rant.

    Atheists do greatly give to charity. But far more important is the reason why. Atheists are more motivated by compassion than the faithful. In other words, the faithful give to charity as a way of buying into heaven, a way of bribing god. This is hardly an altruistic motive. Atheists, on the other hand, do not perceive they personally have anything to gain, but help out others anyway. We're way the fuck nobler than someone "doing good" because he thinks some cosmic cop is watching him. So get off your high horse. Your motives are less altruistic and selfless than ours, and your morality is merely a facade masking selfish motives.

    Ignorance! This just shows me that for all your ranting, you have never truly looked into religion. Yes, certain nations have favored or even government enforced religions, but thankfully we do not live in one of those. A small example that refutes your second statement is Wiccan, whose followers beliefs include freedom of thought about their religion. Certainly the Wiccan faith is superstition according to your beliefs, but they hardly run around trying to force others to draw pentacles and pray to woodland spirits.

    Dan says, "I'd explain to you why you're wrong, but if you actually believe that then you are so fucking bat-shit delusional that no explanation would enlighten you for you are willfully ignorant and happy to stay that way."

    Translation: "I do not even understand the argument presented, let alone have a coherent argument to sustain my point." Calling someone who just handed you your rhetorical ass an "idiot" only proves that you have nothing of substance to say.

    With a small exception where you disagreed on the nature of religion vs. philosophy, you offered no actual relevant arguments. Rather you went on and on about how I am wrong, so wrong that you can't be bothered to say exactly why I am wrong. That's a very suspect sort of reasoning, usually taken by people who are absolutely wrong and they know it.

    To refute your first and only point: religions can be enforced and perpetuated by institutions, but the beliefs reside in the minds of the followers. That is why some Muslims storm embassies and some do not. They believe different things in their minds. Beliefs shape political opinions that the believers hold, which translates into government that will enforce the beliefs of a society. But as I said, the beliefs come first. Change a law and you may change behavior for a while. Change hearts and you change your entire nation.

    Suicide Bombers, Doctor Assassins, Inquisitors, etc. also have "personally held beliefs"

    I think rabid political beliefs come from the same brain area as Religion.

    The vast majority of people who give to charities or serve in them are of one faith or another. Percentage wise it isn't even close, with atheists being rather stingy and self interested in comparison to the much more giving religious crowd.

    Giving per person or giving overall? Given the large quantities of believers, obviously they are going to win. Also, is funding Madrassahs and Evangelical Outreach charity? It seems to me Missionary work isn't really charity, it's more of a club membership drive.

    Here's some food. Now let me tell you about the Greatest Story ever Told, about A Jewish Zombie Carpenter from the Iron Age. Or "Let me give you some food, so you can concentrate on learning Salafi/Wahabi law and Classical Arabic"

    Ditto for Drug Rehab and other programs that come with accepting the Prophet/Son of God as a quid pro quo. Many religious groups separate poor families, the father from the children, even in the US. They do this in Eugene, Oregon, not just in the Third World.

    When non-believers give aid it's out of genuine concern for humanity; when believers give aid it's about good works because an authority told them so (or to entice more believers).

    However, I believe that per Capita, Norwegians are the most generous people on earth.

    Quigley, you ignorant slut. When I say religion is a hierarchical power structure based on superstition it is because

    1. Religions wield power over their disciples and most often the nations inhabited by their disciples.
    2. Religions are hierarchies whether we're talking about the Catholic Church, Orthodox Jews, Islamic sects, or any other religious group.
    3. The higher a cleric is in the religious hierarchy, the more power he has.

    To deny this is obscenely stupid.

    Quigley says

    Certainly the Wiccan faith is superstition according to your beliefs, but they hardly run around trying to force others to draw pentacles and pray to woodland spirits.

    The words faith and religion are not synonymous, dumb ass.

    But you know who has gone around trying to force people to convert? Every fucking successful religion in human history including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. And they all used torture, death, and rape as techniques for saving souls.

    Quigley says

    Translation: "I do not even understand the argument presented, let alone have a coherent argument to sustain my point." Calling someone who just handed you your rhetorical ass an "idiot" only proves that you have nothing of substance to say.

    Wrong translation you you dirt-eating piece of slime, you scum-sucking pig, you son of a motherless goat. But hey, if you really want me to tear you a new asshole here, I'll gladly oblige.

    Your original statement was that I, like Mao, am in favor of committing genocide because that's the only way to get rid of religion.

    Yet, just this morning I stated unequivocally

    Still, I think the Islamic world can be modernized without force. The Internet is a powerful tool for spreading information. If the Middle East had unrestricted Internet access -- at least unrestricted in some places -- then the culture will change.

    in response to Raw's statement

    It took criticism and force to bring the Christian world into the modern world.
    Now the modern world refuses to use criticism and force to bring Islam into the modern world.
    I feel it it is us who are being dragged into their medieval world.

    Well, that completely disproves your bat-shit assertion that I want to commit genocide, which by the way is such a fucking stupid assertion that it needs not even be addressed. My posting history is full of examples where I promote reasoning, scientific education, and economic development as the means of combating religious bigotry and violence. So, yeah, I'm just like fucking Mao.

    You know what, I'm amending Godwin's Law to include comparisons to Mao and other genocidal maniacs.

    Your statements do show one important thing. The Christian right is so fucked up in the brain that they actually think they are "handing you your rhetorical ass" when they show what utter fools they are. Just like you think Romney stands a chance of winning now after coming out against half the country. Reality never gets through that bubble.

    But hey, your so fucking winning it's amazing. You snort coke off of Charlie Sheen's balls.

    It would be one thing if you actually made a good point and then bragged about it, but when you brag about an asinine argument that's been torn apart to a humiliating extent, you just show that the new Republican strategy -- and I know you are a Republican because no Democrat is this batshit crazy and delusional -- is to take utter failure and call it victory.

    No, your last post did that. Wow, I mean wow!! That was some totally insane ranting. I don't think I've ever seen such a glaring example of someone who is off his meds crazy as what you "wrote," and I'm putting that in quotes because I have respect for the written word, but crazy stuff like that shouldn't qualify. I know thunderlips usually agrees with you, but I bet he won't want to be associated with what you just wrote. His posts don't seem crazy, at least.

    Sorry to wreck your thread, but honestly, it was offensive to begin with. You cherry-picked a news story, took a quote about nebulous unconfirmed death threats, and asserted that Christians are homicidal control freaks. I take issue with that. I defended my POV, vigorously. You flipped out and fell off the crazy tree, hitting every branch on the way down. If you can't have a reasonable discussion without resorting to name calling and swearing at anyone who disagrees with your POV, it WOULD be better if you took a break from the forum.
    Good day, sir!

    To eliminate it is to eliminate those who hold such beliefs. Since that is what you advocate: congratulations! You most resemble chairman Mao! If given a choice you would kill millions to advance your ideology.

    Although obviously fallacious, this particular straw man argument is very common in religious circles. The reason people fall for it is because they hear it from a source their parents have told them to trust: their preachers. The reason the preachers say it is because fear works. If you frighten people with sermons of hellfire and brimstone, and get them to mistrust everyone else, then you can control them. When people become fearful, they retreat from the unknown to the familiar. They then donate to their church, not due to charitable compassion but out of fear, trying to appease the deity or deities whom they have questioned or defied. (Doubt is intrinsic to faith, even though fundamentalism denies it, and we are all of us sinners.) The church then becomes rich, thus "proving" the validity of its doctrine, QED.

    The dumb ones never get the joke. Even when you go through the effort of making an obvious setup.
