OK, I’m a bit confused. Everyone keep talking about Jesus, but have we established yet whether **Badchad** and **Der Trihs** have cetacean loved ones? ---

Right. I was hoping this would be a Killer, but this thread makes me feel Blue and gives me a Humpback. I may have to go off and whack out some Sperm to cheer myself up. ---

[QUOTE=FriarTed] I do hope there are some beloved C’tian Praying Grannies or something who love them & they love & whom they’d rather die than have them see what they’ve written about their Lord and Savior. [/QUOTE] > [@](#): > > Serve you right to have C’tian Loved Ones who are praying for you, not to have them see your attacks on JC & the Faith. This raises so many questions in my mind. I’m just wondering what “whom they’d rather die” is supposed to mean. That **Badchad** and **Der Trihs** would rather die than have their Grannies see what they wrote? That **Badchad** and **Der Trihs** would rather have their Grannies die than see what they wrote? Both seem to be rather unlikely. Why does the OP suggest that having Christian Praying Grannies is a bad thing for anyone? I mean, since the OP is presumably not in favor what **Badchad** and **Der Trihs** are doing, how would having such a good thing as Christian Praying Grannies “serve them right?” Why does the OP abbreviate Christian? Is this some g-d or Y\*\*\*\*\*h kind of thing? I’m so confused. 😕 ---

[QUOTE=Beaucarnea] Atheists are anti-religion; [/QUOTE] Sorry for trying to be serious in what’s become a (good) joke thread, but I have to say: Huh? As an atheist, I can say that I’m not anti-religion. Just because I don’t have a faith in some deity, doesn’t mean I don’t recognize the good (and bad) religion brings to people. It’s simply that I don’t subscribe to any religion, period. Obviously, YMMV. ---

I have been running in on breaks at work to post and I had no business putting that phrase out there; in or out of context to the rest of the statements I meant to convey. Of course I am not anti-religion either; most of the people that I love are Christians or Buddhists and I respect them greatly. I am whole-heartedly against _any_ club that condemns or excludes, or that declares war in the name of a god or prophet. But spirituality in any form that promotes peace and kindness either for a group or an individual is a beautiful thing. Please let me re-state that: I am not anti-religion. That was a statement made in error and I would like to retract that. I apologize. Thank you, **Charlie Tan**. ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] Um, aren’t \*\*you \*\*supposed to be the one praying for them, rather than cackling with cyber-glee over their hypothetical discomfort? I thought there was something in that Book of yours about loving thy enemy and praying for them. Wasn’t there also something about motes and beams? [/QUOTE] Yeah, but the book also mentions things like “an eye for an eye” and the ever-popular smiting of enemies. At least Ted’s not trying to smite them, right?
