So you pick the dumbest post on the thread and post some even dumber snark about it? Your employers are so lucky to have you. |
Oh you GAF. Or you wouldn't be here abusing people of faith all day, as you admit you're doing. |
I just hate the bullies on this forum who post crap about atheists. If you just kept to yourself and didn’t try to antagonize I’d never be on these dumb threads. |
The only trolls here are the bullies who regularly antagonize atheists. Like it’s your job. It’s not a tough question. Why won’t PP answer? Seems like it’s just because they’re full of crap. Where is PP hearing so much about Hawkins? OP apparently read about it in some “Focus on the Family” newsletter. |
That's fair enough, but it doesn't support the contention that that it's through "a framework of Christianity that all of our thought has significance." Lots of our "thought" has nothing to do with Christianity, and indeed unlike many countries, the US has no state religion, rather has freedom from religion. That's not a Christian value. What we have here that made the US so enviable, and a magnet for people, is the freedom to make a million bucks if you worked hard enough. Clearly that's not something Jesus espoused. |
Jesus espoused being nice to other people. |
Genociding all the non-Christians around has a way of cornering the market on "firsts" European Christians were the first people in history to genocide an entire continent. |
Atheists are out in force to pretend one of their Four Horseman heroes didn’t say Christianity is his choice for livable, moral, enjoyable society and culture.
He sure isn’t living in a country that atheism has been mandated by the state- nor are they. What? Atheism doesn’t equal utopia? Lol, no. |
Atheists, you're not going to reason anyone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
Best you can do is petition Jeff to move the Religion forum off of "Recent threads" page same as Politics, and let them have their safe space. |
Return of the poster who already knows Jeff isn’t taking religion out of recent threads. The horse you are beating is so long dead his skeleton has crumbled into dust. You still have your stick, beating the ground where he once lay. Maniacally you hit the empty ground, sweating dripping from every pore, eyes gleaming at the bare surface of the earth. Maybe someday you will end your marathon of futility, but you seem wedded to the notion that you can change the moderator’s decision. Why don’t you trundle over to website feedback right now and start the petition? Go on, I dare you. |
Atheist proselytizing, lol. |
I have asked a few times. He says no. |
No, that’s me. There are many posters here. If these threads show up in recent topics, don’t complain about atheists posting on any of the many atheist bashing threads you start. |
I feel like the excitement over people like Dawkins and Ali saying "I don't believe any of this is true, but I like majority Christian societies" is actually a sign of Evangelical Christianity's loss of political influence. When I was growing up in the W era in the Bible Belt, I was surrounded by people passionately arguing that practicing Christians were going to hell for not being Washed In The Blood in the right way or would be spit out of God's mouth for being "lukewarm" in their faith and public testimony. "I don't believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ but I like the songs" would have been roundly and loudly castigated as a perversion of the Truth and an attempt to secularize the One True Faith and no practicing Christian I know would have had anything but scorn for a public atheist saying "Christians make nice buildings, though."
Now that Christians aren't wielding power at the ballot box, they'll apparently not just accept scraps like this but gloat about it. It's an interesting phenomenon to witness. |
He said none of those things, you liar. Not in the article posted. Wanna know what he said in that article? Curiously, Dawkins also contends that while he enjoys the cultural ethos of Christianity, he wishes there were fewer Christians. That's what he said. Yeah sounds like he's ready to join a monastery any day now. Any day. |
