[QUOTE=Redfrost] Secondly, you are assuming I follow a Christian belief. What leads you to believe that? [/QUOTE] It doesn’t matter, it’s your attitude not the name of your imaginary friend that’s the problem. ---

Everyone with an extreme view should be shot:) Religion is the construct, ritual, structure in which one chooses to practice one’s spiritual beliefs. Spiritual beliefs require faith. All people have faith in something. How’s that for a blanket, inflammatory statement. No, I’m going to defend it or my other statement for 2 reason: I don’t have to, as defined by the OP and I don’t have the time. Feel free to comment or insult as you like 🙂 ---

> [@Redfrost](#): > > There are no such things as atheists. Science is as much a religion as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, etc. Oh, shit. This isn’t just ignorant or stupid. It’s a lie. Even if people sincerely believe it. It is just a fucking lie. Go play in traffic, **Redfrost** , and take as many of your fellow travellers with you. ---

[QUOTE=Omegaman] I’m with you about the gay issue. It’s the same as anthing else. Race, religion ,looks,whatever it’s all about passing judgment on the person standing next to you, down the street, across the ocean, where ever. Untill we as a people can get past it were pretty much doomed to suffer together until the last moment. That’s why I look up to my pal Jesus ----One man One act. That’s where it all starts. But that rectum thing man, You got problems there . If you’ve graduated to cats you should give it a rest. It could get back to normal. I would leave the pots , pans and other kitchen utensils to those best suited for that task. Just relax and let the young uns’ do thier thing 😃 [/QUOTE] :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ---

If I have offended you I offer my most humble apologies 😕 [/QUOTE] **Omegaman** , those were not for you at all. I tried to delete my entire post, then put an explanation in the “reason for edit field” (see above), but it wouldn’t let me submit an edit without something in it. So I added the roll-eye’s re: what was below the line you originally quoted. I reconsidered (and roll-eyed) because I wasn’t sure if the entire post below what you quoted was what the poster seriously believed (and I wanted to think about it) (first rolleye) and dared not dwell on the possible implications of let’s say, race, if they were serious (second rolleye). Sorry, you have done nothing to me and that was not meant for you. ---

[QUOTE=Sampiro] A woman and her four children were found hanging by their necks in a trailer in Hudson Oaks, Texas. Mother and oldest 3 kids were dead, the 8 month old baby survived. This is horrible. There’s no denying that. But why does it need to make national news? How does it affect anybody outside of that family? Why do their need to be 4300 online articles about it already? It’s a sick fucking tragedy by a demented mind, the human equivalent of a tornado or a rabid dog, but it’s not national newsworthy. (And I’ll admit I enjoyed the Anna Nicole trainwreck as much as the next person, but I’ll also freely admit that wasn’t newsworthy either.) [/QUOTE] Turn away dude. It wont go away but don’t look . I’m not going to.The horror bestowed upon children is unbearable.I wish I still smoked . ---

No no… I’m in much too deep to scoop, pour, or ladle myself out of this situation ^^; I stand by my original statement: It was just a phase! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-believe-that-you-could-only-say-in-the-pit/405674.md?page=8)
