Richard Dawkins: Islam is Bad

[The Steel Magnolia]

Are they harming you at all when they'll agree with you about the reality of evolution? Are they harming you when they criticize parts of the bible as much as you do?

No, but I disagree with them and will debate that on online forums meant for debate. I don't go around knocking on people's doors to tell them how stupid going to church on Sunday when you could be sleeping is. I do that on this forum because that's what it's for.

Which doesn't make you look much better.

Instead, Maggie and I have had a very long conversation about whether or not I hate EVERY RELIGIOUS PERSON IN THE FUCKING WORLD WHAT A BIGOT JOE WHY DO YOU HATE ME WAH WAH WAH.

Indeed, I'm glad you've come to the proper conclusion.

[Frisivisia]

I'm not doubling down on it, I'm clarifying, and that wasn't what I said. Congratulations, you've ticked me, a somewhat calmer, goofier poster the fuck off with fifteen minutes of deliberate misunderstanding.

E: seriously though. You're comparing the two and find them similar.

Because I dislike them both, not necessarily at the same fucking level.

[Nationalist State of Knox]

Really? Maybe when it's used as a substitute for actual medicine/medical aid.

only then, really. who does it harm besides that?

Nobody.

[The Parkus Empire]

Even prayer annoys me.

Nope, just annoying. And Christ didn't like open prayer either, so I know I'm not a total weirdo.

Shouldn't have said what you did then!

[Frisivisia]

And that seems pointless to me.

The same might be said of posting on NSG.

Religion and NSG, both opiates of the masses.

Here's a tip. Try doing it in a nicer way. If you're trying to persuade someone, being an asshole off the bat doesn't get you far.

[Hathradic States]

Why, though?

1.Because of repeated disappointment?
2.Because some people pray, instead of going to a doctor if they're sick?
3.Because of false promises?

(This is simply my experience)

1. Okay, then don't pray. I don't see how other people doing it affects you.
2. Same. The only difference being that I find it objectionable to do such to kids
3. What false promises? Do you even get prayer?

[The Steel Magnolia]

Define open prayer? because if it's at like, a congregation, I don't see the issue.

Shouldn't have said what you did then!

Maybe you should have gotten the meaning instead of fucking around for fifteen minutes trying to make me angry.

Maybe you shouldn't have compared religion to nazism .

[Seitonjin]

Jesus is not amused with some modern Christians.

Jesus would denounce the entire Church if he were around today.

And then get excommunicated for being a heretic and thereby pissing him off to the point he becomes the founder of Christianity Version 2.0

1. I never said it did.
2. Alright then
3. I do get prayer. My problem is that I never...felt anything? (I hope you get me)

[Hathradic States]

Why, though?

It can make some uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't however begrudge people for praying. It just makes me iffy.

I can honestly say that I don't understand that. *shrugs*

[The Parkus Empire]

Same reason a lot of things do, from the world "hella" to skinny jeans.

I'm rough on NSG. I don't flame people, I just criticize beliefs. I wish people would actually debate instead of getting angry and spending pages upon pages calling me an asshole and saying I'm a a bigoted authoritarian assholedouchedick.

Basically, children, there is a lesson to be learned:
You can disagree with someone, and you can even debate them, without being a cockle.

[Frisivisia]

Fuck that.

[New Libertarian States]

Jesus would as well.

Jesus is not amused with some modern Christians.

I don't like being around prayer either. Maybe it's because my family had a prayer before every fucking meal. But if people want to pray, fine. It's their choice.

Yes, yes, Joe's an asshole, yeah yeah.

Openly praying outside of a congregation.

The funny thing is, Jesus would actually be excommunicated from the Church for his beliefs, considering how his image and teachings have been corrupted by the Church over the centuries.

1. Then why get annoyed by it?
2. Wee. Agreement!
3. it does vary from individual to individual, too. I have prayed before, and sometimes I felt something, sometimes I didn't. Same thing with meditation, which I still do often. But, I get you.

The Church is more Paul than anyone else.
