magellan01’s rather amusing meltdown aside, this atheist thinks your “protest” is ridiculous and petty.
When you overuse words like “cunt” they just lose all meaning.
I’m sure he would appreciate the sincere efforts you’ve put forth to preserve his legacy of peace and understanding.
No wonder they crucified the poor fucker.
You had me at “cunt”.
Let me see if I’m understanding this correctly. Kalhoun chooses not to capitalize certain words and names of a religious nature because she feels that to do so legitimizes the belief that there is a supreme being of some sort. This annoys people who believe in that supreme being, which gives Kalhoun further incentive to continue doing so, since she derives some pleasure from their discomfort.
magellen01 takes such great offense at this that he has decided that from now on he will only refer to her as “dumb cunt” or variations thereof. This action is directed solely at her, not at anyone else who believes as she does, thus making it a personal issue rather than a general protest, which is the intent of the action he finds offensive.
In other words, Kalhoun is acting out of a sense of personal conviction, while magellan01 is being a whiny little kid.
Yup.
As well, this kerfuffle provides a tedious level of irony to the stated topic of the thread. :smack:
Kalhoun is acting out of ignorance, while magellan01 is now acting like a whiny little kid. He was extremely civil at first.
The fact remains that capitalizing “Jesus” denotes nothing other than the fact that his name is a proper noun. Kalhoun isn’t railing against Christianity, but against a convention on English style and usage.
Some part of me really wants to believe that this whole argument is a whoosh, given the thread title.
Oh, I understand the smegma dripping onto your keyboard just fine. I’ve understood every word you’ve said. Starting with you admission that you intentionally insult Christians when you debate with them. Got that, you puss-oozing syphillatd cunt?
Sorry, make that “Cunt”.
Oh, I understand perfectly. She’s been quite clear as to why she insists on being a Cunt. As far as Peace goes, I wish to level my counter protest and afford her the same peaceful time on these boards as she admits to providing for others. She won’t change now. Not on these boards. That would be to admit her cuntness. But perhaps this will give it pause when it drips its dumbfuckness elsewhere. And that might lead to greater peace in the long run.
Peace.
magellan01 - Protestor for Peace and Understanding
It’s far from ironic. It is a perfect example of why the discussions are often so hostile. Here we have a poster who ADMITS that she, while in discussion with Christians, intentionally insults them. Talk about :smack:
You see how that whole “righteous belief” thing can poison your whole ability to think rationally? The “deist” here is so outraged that I enjoy a subtle jab at the concept of christianity (all the while stuffing his face with pork and beef in mixed company and writing the word god with the “o” in place and all), that he’s worked himself into a hate-filled frenzy.
Phelps ain’t got nothin’ on you, Zealot Boy. You’re a menace to society.
Are you talking to yourself here, Cunt? If so, maybe there’s hope.
You seem to have a hard enough time not being stupid when you think you know what you’re talking about. You may want to stick to that, Cunt. And if you would read over the thread, Cunt, you might be able to glean that my theistic beliefs are not the point. Just look at the OP on the top of the page. As I’ve said, there might as well be a laser pointing from it to your puny brain.
Whatever you say, Clarice.
Do you happen to know that magellan01 routinely eats beef in front of Hindus or pork in front of Moslems or Jews, or that he enjoys a secret thrill in so doing because he is consciously trampling on someone else’s belief system?
I mean, I have no intention of joining a tardfight in which the gynaecological expletive is being tossed about, but to hark back to the barbecue example I gave earlier, it wasn’t so much about good table manners as of keeping an acquaintance whose belief system differed from mine from inadvertently violating a cultural taboo, or the anxiety that be might be doing so. I could have said on good scientific grounds, backed by the traditions of my own religion, that there was no such thing as unclean or forbidden food, and indeed the practice of affording veneration to a mere ruminant was primitive superstitious nonsense - but how much better to afford him a little consideration, don’t you think?
Yes, yes, you’re oppressed daily by being forced to live in a nominally-Christian society and handle coinage with “In God We Trust” on it and all that, but it’s not like you have no other avenue for protest, now is it?
Yes, but you have long since surrendered any claim to the high ground.
You know, when I was reading the OP’s title…the first thing that came to mind was…
“Wait a minute, they don’t have to be dicks to each other, they choose to be dicks to each other. It has nothing to do which side they are on, but it does have everything to do with their own personality(ies).”
So, throw all those people (who choose to be dicks) on an island, and let them duke it out while the rest of us actually coexist in reasonable peace.
You’d think that dicks and cunts would be able to get along better.
Fuck 'em.
Fucking hippie. 
I don’t know, but I’d be willing to bet on it. He does type the word god with the “o” intact, knowing full well that there are people on these boards who don’t.
Of course he’s consciously trampling on cmkeller’s belief system. If he cared about the feeeeeeelings, he wouldn’t do it.
What does that have to do with anything? Why would another avenue be a better choice than this one?
