Which God?

[Parina]

Has someone mentioned Atheismo yet?

[Callisdrun]

Oh yes, the USA most certainly. That didn't make my little list.

It's very amusing to see Americans telling me I live in a heavily Christian country, though. The religious demographics here are generally those of foreign origin.

That's just BS, sorry. You might be able to squeak through that lame argument you're trying to make about European countries because they have official religions and weird ways of noting them in their census data. But in the US, where there is no official religion and all statistics come from individuals self-reporting about themselves? And you claim that HERE, there aren't as many Christians as it seems and they're not in the positions of privilege and power they seem? Horseshit.

I don't know what you're on about given I just said I didn't put America in the list because it IS definitely predominantly Christian, outside certain pockets like the SF bay area and whatnot.

You'd be surprised in that the SF bay area I think is still significantly Christian, especially Catholic. There's just a much larger proportion of atheists, agnostics and non-Christian faiths here.

What is Atheismo?

[Callisdrun]

Depending on what you prefer for afterlife (severe lifelong worshipping required), Allah seems to offer some pretty good things (paradise filled with virgins, aso)

Nobody's ever been able to adequately explain why I should want that.

America has a lot of Christians in it... but not, apparently, REAL Christians!

(I'd actually agree. I'm not sure there's been a Real Christian since about 30 AD)

I don't care if they're Real Christians or False Christians or I Can't Believe They're Not Christians, I just want them to quit trying to legislate Leviticus into my private life.

Don't confuse Christianity with Judaism. I doubt many Christians would even attempt to read Leviticus, much less understand and legislate it.

Yeah, you'd be wrong on that count. Christians where I live are absolutely in LOVE with Leviticus. Except for, you know, all the parts about eating shrimp, wearing clothing of mixed fabrics, and pretty much anything that doesn't revolve around telling gays that they are going to Hell.

Yeah, I've heard some pretty weird things come out of the book of Leviticus, and not to mention Deuteronomy. Anyhow, if they are literally preaching a levitical code of living, they are both liars and hypocrites. Not to mention, that they probably missed the part in the New Testament (which lays out the code or pattern for the Christian church) where Paul told the Galatians: "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." The law, found mainly in the Pentateuch was only to show the imperfection of man - thereby exposing their depravity and causing them to long for a Redeemer.

Sadly, I too know many people who call themselves Christians and seriously abuse the Bible by mixing and confusing the Law with Grace. It is these people, that will have far more to account for when they meet God then they assume. Exclusivity and man-centric followers always produce one thing: an occult.

Sorry for your run-ins with people like this. We've all been there; just try not to throw the baby out with the bath water.

LOL! I'm glad someone agrees with me! Sexually inexperienced girls remind me of being a teenager, and awkward confrontations in the backseat of a car. I really don’t want to relive that when I die.

Oh, is that why you didn't put us on your list? I didn't see your reason for it and thought you were adding them as a "Oh, and I forgot to mention them too."

No thanks.

Why not?

If I do, do I get to leave the cave?

Life is the cave. If you want to leave the cave, find a mathematical expression for your truest inner essense and then become an hero.

I've always had a special place in my heart for the harmonic sequence, so: *holds gun to forehead* a_n=1/n *pulls trigger*

What is Atheismo?

The god of all Atheists. He gives us the power to believe in whatever the hell we want, and argue with Christians.

I thought that name went lowercase, no matter how many people tried to alter the texts ... ?

When it's capitol, it means that you worship Atheismo...maybe?

So long as later translations don't self-contradict, it's all good.

[Callisdrun]

No thanks.

Why not?

1. Because you said it.
2. Because paganism is much more fun.
3. Because I prefer things that don't hold to platonic forms.

It´s virgins, dear, the Huris to be exact, and they become virgin again after penetrating - who do you think would be interested in grapes ?

Who would be interested in girls that return to virginhood every time ? You'd need to be careful every time, and if she mentally stays a virgin as well she won't learn all kinds of interesting positions and techniques.

Interesting point; They seem to know about positions and techniques, and are very experienced too; But for your question you´d have to ask some muslim, as I couldn´t answer - maybe it´s a relic of their antique thinking about virginity and sex (and a "male" issue).

Be careful which muslim you ask, too. From what I understand (and wiki says too), it's not a widely-accepted belief. That is, not widely accepted as literally true; more of an illustration than a fact, anymore than Christians literally believe in a cloud kingdom.

...at least make sure you´re asking a male muslim...

That's actually true of all women, you know -- that we become virgins again after penetration. As long as we don't get too stretched out from passing babies and whatnot, we do eventually get our virginity back. Of course, we have to go a long time without sex for that to happen, but it does. So all anyone has to do is go find 70+ women who are either virgins or nuns or have just been really damned fed up with dudes for 7+ years.
