NSG's Religious Census

[Mavorpen]

I've seen absolutely nothing suggesting they go house to house doing this. I see a bunch of shit about their billboard being taken down because apparently Christians don't like Atheists meeting each other.

What do you mean? I mean unless these people were independent and lying about sending people out to houses by Cincinnati Atheists.

Link?

What specifically do they say about Christianity? Like, what "evils" and "mistakes" has it allegedly committed?

I can think of a lot of them:

- Crusades (killing innocent people over a stupid piece of land)
- Racism (they actually justified slavery and segregation)
- Discrimination (anti-LGBT, racist, anti-secularism, etc)

I question racism. They discriminate against anti-secularism? We are probably the most religiously-tolerant religion.

You already have the atheist sub-forum in the form of NSG, where the anti-Christian vitriol is a rabid and relentless beast.

A hotbed of prejudice in which we, the majority, are the ones being persecuted - at random - at will - for our beliefs and values.

Talk to the Christians in the Far East and Saudi Arabia or former soviet Christians if you want to know what it's like to be persecuted. YOU ARE NOT PERSECUTED, YOUR AN AMERICAN EVANGELICAL BEING TOLD THAT YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE DUMB.

That's not persecution. Even insinuateing that it is makes my blood boil.

Pisses me right the fuck off too.

Those are Christians, who are people, and people sin. Christianity does not call for any of that.

The Pope did. He represented the manifestation of Roman Catholicism Christianity in Western Europe during the Middle Ages.

No. Why in the world should I believe you? Would you believe me if I said that a local Christian group was secretly going out killing blacks in the neighborhood because God hates them?

Not all people sin.

How about everyone stop their petty, stupid, counter-productive arguing, and learn to respect each others differences, this is ridiculous, this thread is a census asking for what religion you are, does not say sit here and debate what religions you hate and can not tolerate and such.

The Pope is human. Roman Catholicism is not Christianity.

Either way, your argument is invalid.

Too bad this is a debate forum.

NO, I WILL NOT RESPECT YOUR RELIGION BECAUSE IT'S MORE FUN TO HATE ON EACH OTHER.



But seriously, this is a debate forum and as such we're debating. Just with mean words and personal attacks, but still, there's some legit debate in there, buried underneath the personal attacks and insults.

[Abatael]

No. Why in the world should I believe you? Would you believe me if I said that a local Christian group was secretly going out killing blacks in the neighborhood because God hates them?

That is nowhere near what they are doing; that is much more extreme.

No but I am sure this happens across the nation while Christians going out to kill blacks is just absurd.

No it really isn't, as I said, this is a census forum to ask what religion YOU are, try reading the first post.

And yet both are claims that are not to be taken seriously, unless valid evidence is presented.

Who has not sinned?

Either way, your argument is invalid.

Did you really just claim one of the oldest of the Christian Churches is not Christian?

Not to take away anything from their suffering but within context of the 'pen being mightier than the sword', our level of persecution is equal, if not greater, as is being institutionalized at all levels.

We are constantly being shut down for expressing our views on even the most basic issues regarding family, marriage, life, climate and society in general. It has now become 'hip' to disregard and insult centuries of tradition and values in pursuit of this new-age cultist interpretation of "equality".

These people see all the technological and scientific advances that have made our lives easier and take the teachings of JC for granted - yet when a big storm comes along and the power goes out, then it's the old "Please, God..." again.

It's not that at all. It's just when you get Christians who try to force people to accept Christian values through the legislator, in campaigns against womens rights and same sex marriage. Remember what Jesus said "Let he who is without sin, throw the first stone."

Leave them alone and they will leave you alone.

This is a THREAD. The overarching forum, (General) is a debate forum.

By you, maybe. I believe his claim. Why? Because it's reasonable, unlike yours. Online I saw they had a meet-up, so they could have easily planned and executed that.

I have not.

Link to what. You are playing the link game because your argument is weak and it is obvious who has a stronger point.

Have any evidence backing that up?

Ain't xtians funny?
