Your religion

everyone has engaged in speculative insults over whats going in in moonflowers life ....have any tried to explain why they believe things billions of people find incredibly bizar and totaly unsubstanciated?

 

awww, lol, i hurt her feelings and got her all mad. how very sad. show me a big word i used. i wasn't aware i used any. god forbid i shouldn't recognize my audience and communicate properly. this is how i talk, deal with it.

 

You definitely didn't hurt my feelings or piss me off. Sorry to dissapoint you.

 

it's just because you're a bigot, moonflower. it's okay. we forgive you.

 

i think moon was just bored, and so was i. it's been extremely entertaining.

 

What does being a bigot have to do with my not insulting homosexuals?

 

because you accept one group and hold them above reproach while unilaterally lumping another group together for your hartred, mockery and insults. bigotry.

 

Ouch, never been called that before. I'm merely going by the majority of Christians I've come across in my life. Also what I read in the paper, see on news, etc. You guys would love the whole world to be Christian, it sickens me. You (when I say you, I mean most Christians collectively) want the laws of this country fashioned after your religion. That's fucked up, we have freedom of religion here and forcing your silly religion on everyone is not acceptable. So many Christians have a holier-than-thou attitude and are very judgemental, makes me want to barf.

I can't tell you how many times I come home to find a brochure or newletter from some religion on my door, how many Bibles people have attempted to hand to me (on a college campus of all places!), or how many people have preached at me practically frothing at the mouth.

If I was to judge, I would say you have more rage than moon.

 

Okay, problem solver right here: Everybody's human, which means we ALL engage in hatred, bigotry, and all that shit. You can't section off a whole group, and say that they don't posess these characteristics, cause they do, they have to, cause they wouldn't be human without 'em. So EVERYBODY, stop bein so pissy bout it, and jus deal wit it. Though, in the whole "all christians are bigots" she's totally bullshittin.

 

I'd like to know that too

 

See, this is crap. Only Christians are moral??! Fuck that. I don't need a religion to know right from wrong. I have a conscience. Can't you brain-washed sheep think for yourselves?

Of course people think like this!! I can garuntee ya that 4 outta 5 people think that if everybody though like them, the world would be a better place! People are comfortable in uniformity, uniformity is safe. People also need somethin to tye themselves to other people, be it Christianity, or the love of Star Trek, or collectin little troll figurines. If you meet another christian, or star trek fan, or troll collecter, yer prolly gonna hit it off. People like acceptance, that's prolly one of the most basic feelins that peolple have; to be accepted for what they are.

 

with freedom of religion, why can't someone bring a brochure to you? they're not infringing upon your freedoms in anyway. throw it away, and tell them to shove off. i don't like being approached by strangers of any sort, christian or no. i telll them i don't have time for them and don't want to hear it. i'm not a fan of organized christianity, either. but even if every christian out there would love for you to be a christian, i don't find that insulting. i'd like everyone out there to be a libertarian, but they're not, so i deal with it. how's that harmful to you or how does that hurt you in any way?

as for all christians being pushy, it's totally incorrect, since the only christians making themselves known to you are the pushy ones. there's a huge population of christians out there that will never once make an attempt to infring upon your space and time. and you'll never know it, since they didn't bring themselves to your attention.

as for rage, i answered moon's vehemence with equal force because she said she wanted it. "it's fun" and a reaction "is all i wanted." she brought petty insults looking for petty insults. far be it for me not to indulge her. she's perfectly capable of fending for herself.

go ahead and accept that you're just as bigotted as the average fundie. you've got problems, too.

 

Ugh. There is absolutely no way anyone can tell what someones life is like offline. What a cop out. This is the type of thing someone says when they cannot adequately defend themselves.

 

awesome post, joeman. centered and wise. not as much fun as the rest, though.

 

i pretty much just read moon's bio thingie where she said "i pretty much hate everyone." well, shit, i did when i was 17, too.

 

"Our fore fathers are probably turning in their graves as America becomes more and more demoralized with time"

And fuck this shit as well! First of all, the fuckin white people who first colonized north america were seekin refuge from religious persecution! This country is the free-est on the planet, we have one of the most expansive liberty-systems in the world. The way I see it, this is great, more freedom to experiance. This is what the constitution, the bill of rights is all about. We are grantin people their, as you guys would say, their God given rights to experiance what life holds. Be it homosexuality, or athiesm, or single motherhood, or ownin a small buisness, or being on a reality show, or runnin fer president.

 

I've never been approached by anyone from any other religion. Ever. It affects many people's lives, homosexuals, scientists, etc. Give up your quest, the whole world will never adopt this religion.

 

yeah, like my sig quote says, if democrats and republicans could read, they'd be libertarians. you can't just go re-writing the constitution and the bill of rights to justify and litigate your subjective, religious morality. there's certain things that all sane civilized people can agree with, no murder, no stealing, no beatings. it's pretty simple to me.

 

Well you can infer things from someones bio, but it's really difficult to make clear judgements of someones life even considering their posts. But I suppose you can attack their online persona if you'd like.
