Hitler was a christian…
See I can make stupid comparisons just like you!
Bullshit. A crisis of faith is your mind trying to snap you out of the stupid childish notions that you’ll be back with your loved ones and never ever have to really die. It’s a lie, a poison that clouds your brain. But that sick fucking poison has a sweet candy coating… eternal life, and rewards for the kicks in the nuts this life has given you.
You *want *to believe, so you ignore all the doubts. That doesn’t make you thoughtful. It makes you a fucking child. A pathetic, self-deluded creature who’d rather live in a fantasy world than actually see the universe for it’s actual glory, warts and all.
I don’t believe in any gods. How could I possibly be sinful?
Ah, just like me, with my “lack of rationality, denial of rationality, or ignorance”.
Oh, you couldn’t. My definition could never apply to you.
Actually, this statement can only apply to those who believe in gods, and thus is incorrect.
That’s nice. Too bad it wasn’t responding to what anyone else said.
What does Mao have to do with anything ? Oh, yeah, we are all supposed to pretend that Communism = atheism. In reality, Communism was a religion; one of Christianity’s “spawn” that I referred to. Just another faith based system, bloodthirsty as such systems tend to be, and insane as such systems ALWAYS are.
I’m sure that you probably really would kill me, if you could get away with it.
Communism doesn’t have to be a religion. Communism and religion are simply variations on hierarchical power structures, naturally hostile to each other (and every other similar structure) because they’re in active competition. Neither is self-correcting, which you can get away with in times and places where communication is controlled and/or slow, but it’s a weakness that’ll doom them both, sooner or later.
Well, no. Much to your surprise, perhaps, you are not the only person here. I was discussing Mao with Max. Mao’s atheism was much like your own — dogmatic and hostile. He, like you, thought we were irrational and dangerous. So I wasn’t saying that communism (an economic philosophty) and atheism (a theological philosophy) are the same; I was saying that you and Mao are pretty much alike.
Oh, so that’s what you meant. I’m still not sure what your statement implies to me, though. Since I defined what I was talking about as “the obstruction of goodness”, you must mean to imply either that an atheist cannot obstruct goodness because there is no goodness to obstruct outside a belief in God, or that an atheism is moral perfection and therefore cannot obstruct goodness. Clearly, you cannot choose the wine in front of you, and so it must be the latter.
The only thing I meant to imply, shockingly enough, was that your statement was incorrect.
You know, Der Trihs, most of your posts in this thread are only reinforcing his belief.
Liar. You quoted me, not him.
And he was right, about that at least. He probably also thought that setting yourself on fire was a bad move. In fact, Mao was no doubt right about any number of things; ‘do the opposite of him and you can’t go wrong’ is a cute joke, but bad advice. And given that the atheists are right, of course we tend to be “dogmatic” from your viewpoint. I’m also “dogmatic” that it’s raining outside. And it’s only good sense to be hostile to your enemies, and religion is hostile to everything but itself.
Yeah, right. And how many millions have I killed ? And I see no reason to believe you were doing anything but yet again trying to falsely equate Communism and atheism. But then, it’s not like the believers can win an argument honestly; being on the side of evil and stupidity tends to do that.
Anything I say would do that. So would saying nothing. Intellectually, religion is a self reinforcing closed system. I argue because I enjoy it, not because I think that anyone thickheaded enough to be religious as an adult is susceptible to any form of argument or evidence.
Why don’t you fuck off, you busy body bitch? I would rather hear DT belch than anything you have to say. I hear MPSIMS has a thread you can use to keep your post count up.
Thankfully, there’s a whole new forum for that.
Christ, did I run over your dog or something? I never said I supported the OP, just that DT is pretty much the stereotype he talks about. (And Der Trihs is a dickweed about pretty much everything, not just religion or politics or whatever)
Calm yourself down.
At least he posts content occasionally. Like it or lump it, unlike you, he adds to the dope while you are a pointless gadfly.
Come back when you can insult me with something other than my post count.
As for Der Trihs, if you consider being a one trick pony to be “content”, that’s your opinion.
As for the OP, I don’t give a shit about zealots either way, as long as they leave me alone. Well, and don’t go around harassing people and trying to oppress them. (Atheists, Christians, Republicans, Scientologists, Michael Jackson fans, etc)
