> [@aruvqan](#): > > I do understand that the charge nursing sister for that ward got sent off to another hospital, as you cant really fire nuns :rolleyes: If that nun is a nurse, shes licenced. Nurses are so valuable seeing one fired is pretty rare and they have little fear of it. If you need enforcement against legitimate mistreatment by a nurse, file a complaint with the licencing board for your state. If they lose their licence, they cannot work anywhere. Allowing patients to be harrassed by outside parties, for longer than it takes for security to arrive, is beyond my capacity for rational responses. ---

> [@jinwicked](#): > > A lot of us non-believers have been harassed, talked down to, treated poorly, reminded constantly of our eternal damnation, by holier-than-thou Christians. It kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth after awhile. There are a lot of what I would call true and very good Christians on this board that don’t do that. I wish more were like them. But it seems the ones that get the most attention and are the most vocal are the really obnoxious ones. So that’s why that kind of knee-jerk reaction exists. I wish the more peaceful Xian types would try to encourage their peers to follow their example, it would help with the negative image of Xians right now as well as cut down on the constant nagging and fire-and-brimstone us non-believers deal with. I try to qualify as a true Christian. I get harassed from both sides - fervent believers who think I’m doing it wrong and non believers who tell me I’m stupid for believing. It does leave a bad taste, and I tend to not want to hang out with either one. Usually, I just keep my mouth shut unless asked. My beliefs are my own, they work for me, anyone who takes issue with them is welcome to not follow them. As for the inane e-mails, I have a stated policy of blocking anyone who forwards me anything non “business” related. (if its on Snopes or is glurge of any sort, you get blocked.) Only my grandmother is exempt. (andshe does not misuse her privledge) Reply that you don’t appreciate lame c&p forwards and that if she really cared she’d send you a real e-mail outline her position. If she does, you can have a fun chat, if she doesn’t, life continues as normal, if she sends you another craptastic forward, you can block her. ---

> [@](#): > > One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. “Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn’t resist. Got 'em all!” > > “What are you going to do with them?” Jesus asked. > > Satan replied, “Oh, I’m gonna have fun! I’m gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I’m gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I’m really gonna have fun!” > > “And what will you do when you get done with them?” Jesus asked. > > “Oh, I’ll kill 'em,” Satan glared proudly. > > “How much do you want for them?” Jesus asked. > > “Oh, you don’t want those people. They ain’t no good. Why, you’ll take them and they’ll just hate you. They’ll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You don’t want those people!!” > > “How much?” He asked again. > > Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, “All your blood, tears and your life.” > > Jesus said, “DONE!” > > Then He paid the price. See, that’s stupid. All those things—divorce (?), hatred, abuse, smoking, drinking, cursing, violence—are happening anyway. And the same people who pass on these kinds of messages also warn about Armageddon, which would be the “kill 'em after I’m done with 'em”. So by this logic, what good was the Crucifixion? ---

It also carries a heretical message that the crucifixion was a price paid to Satan rather than God. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > It also carries a heretical message that the crucifixion was a price paid to Satan rather than God. To be fair, this heresy actually makes sense. Of course, religions aren’t constrained by logic, but the whole notion of “sacrificing himself to himself to change his own rules” has stuck in many people’s craws. ---

You need to send her lots of porn. Lots and lots. Find the nastiest bukkake and anal sites in the internet, and send her a jpeg on every Sunday. Send her tons of links to [Landover Baptist](http://www.landoverbaptist.org/), disguised as typical Jesus Glurge, and see how long it takes for her to catch on. Tell her you want her carnally, and that you dream of her in a Satanic Feast of Flesh. etc. Look, you could do the dignified thing and ignore her, but what’s the fun in that. She has provided you with all the justification you need to take this golden opportunity to really torment the deserving, and, frankly, I envy you that. Have fun, buddy! ---

> [@aruvqan](#): > > Never ever go to a catholic hospital if you arent hard line catholic and delivering rather than losing a fetus. Yes, there are catholic fundies out there as well… I had to go into a catholic hospital about 20 years ago to have my wisdom teeth out. They asked my religion, which they put on the ID bracelet. I told them “Druid” (I was forewarned by a friend who worked there). It actually worked – the nuns would grab my arm, look at the bracelet, then leave me alone. ---

My mother-in-law sent me the same e-mail. I am a Christian but it really ticks me off when she sends me this crap, especially the whole ‘if you don’t forward this e-mail you are not a good Christian’ bit. Excuse me? You know me, and you are honestly saying that my faith depends on whether I forward a chain letter? Give me a break. It offends me that she would reduce my beliefs into glurge and send me a ‘test’ like this. Any forwards she sends me are now deleted and get no reply. I had to restrain myself from sending her a reply about that one, though. "Yes, mother-in-law, that e-mail really did make me stop and think! It made me stop and think you are an idiot! See you at Christmas, Love, your daughter-in-law. ---

Reply with a parable of your own. Maybe something like: > [@](#): > > The Next day, the Pastor found the boy taunting a pregnant cat. > > “My Son” the pastor said as he called the boy over “Please do not taunt the cat. For can’t you plainly see that she is pregnant? She is God’s creature, and needs to be treated with love. Why, if I were to rub some holy water on the cat’s belly, she will eventually pass kittens”. > > “That aint nothin” the boy replied. “If I rub turpentine on her asshole, she’ll pass a Chevy!” ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > This thread and others like it are not ranting against what a class of people believe; it’s ranting against how they _behave_. Do you honestly not see that?

They act like Christians, but inside, where it really counts, well - their hearts are known. Stiil, the OP doesn’t explain the ‘little whore’ part. Cite? ---
