Self Righteous Religionists, Just Gotta Love Em Eh?

[nailit]

My sons G/F is pregnant.
Her Uncle is a pastor.
He's just stated that the baby (my grandson) is a product of sin.
You just got to love these people of faith havnt you?

Dick!!

Theland, //I have read everything that is there, warts and all//

What warts have you found?

[andy-hughes]

Theland - I've missed 'the point' have I? Now there's a surprise!!!

[Theland]

Naomi - warts - Hawkings insistence on preexisting gravity? His essential miracle?
Krause - a universe of zero energy, true, but no explanation for the physical laws that initiated the quantum instability.
Many more if you look, but please do some research yourself since you claim to be a scholarly atheist.
Or is that just your AB persona?

Yes Andy, you miss it by a mile.

[naomi24]

Theland, will you please stop attacking me on thread after thread. At least twice this morning already. You claim to have read everything there is warts and all. What warts you’ve found in the bible?

[naomi24]

Correction: *what warts have you found in the bible?*

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // Yes Andy, you miss it by a mile. //

In common with your fellow fervents, you enjoy expressing your opinion in terms that imply that it is a fact.

What I miss, or don't miss, is a matter of your opinion, and you won't be surprised to read that your opinion really does not count for very much as far as I am concerned.

You have as much evidence for your views about God as I do - i.e. none at all - the rest is smoke and mirrors, to which you devote an inordinate amount of time for no discernable reward.

Apart from the constant questioning you receive on here, which you avoid with a mixture of lofty pronouncements, prevarication, or simply pretending not to read them.

You put your trousers on one leg at a time the same as I do - the difference between us is that it matters body and soul to you that everyone thinks of your god the way you do, and I could absolutely not care less.

//Pixie - you are rather selective and exagerating my past views.
You need to start a different thread to tease out the wheat from the chaff!//

I didn't think I was. I have asked you at the time, but rarely get an answer.

How about your link here about disabled people, that you seem to think are a problem to be solved, rather than existing, like everyone else, with their own merits?
You backed down on abortion, both to me previously and to Andy, here... but then continue to say the same things on further occasions.
And you seem unsure about the number of non-white people in adverts, tv... as if that is somehow a threat?
Are gay marriages acceptable to you?

Just to make it an easy start, I'll stop there for now. But, genuinely, I can't see why you think atheism is less "moral", when religion apparently encourages hatred?

[Theland]

One at a time. Disabled people? Please?

[naomi24]

Who are you talking to, Theland?

[pixie374]

You can do them one at a time, if you prefer. Your link says that disabled people show something has gone "horribly, horribly wrong" ie, they weren't supposed to be that way. Why not?
This may not have been you, and if not- i apologise, but I'm sure i remember you describing a disabled man on BGT as "a freak show"?

[pixie374]

If it helps...you chose to post this about conjoined twins...
//Such unique traits are fascinating because, on the one hand, we see the miracle of creation, but on the other hand, we see that something has gone horribly, horribly wrong//

[Theland]

Yes indeed Pixie. Conjoined twins are an extreme example of something gone wrong. But so is cancer, and the younger the victim the more the emotional response.
But so what?
What has that tragedy to do with me?

[pixie374]

How have they gone wrong? Who is to say that is not how they should be... and often we have learned a lot from people we see as different. Whether physically, or with autism, adhd, schizophrenia and so on... look at all the geniuses and artists we have benefited from.
Comjoined is not a disease btw, like cancer.
But what makes you think they are a mistake? And if so, who by?

[Theland]

That's a time for later when I have the time.
Thanks by the way.

[Theland]

[pixie374]

Ok... let me know x

[nailit]

Theland, your beloved Ravi Zachiarias (quoted often) has been shown to be a sexual pervert and fraud.
(and so has kent hovind (jailbird) and others but never mind)

Keep quoting ANYTHING that agrees with you...and then make an excuse.

Christian literature...creationism, science, sex education, whatever...is littered with abuse and abusive personalities.

[nailit]

//littered with abuse and abusive personalities//
Actually, before you even bother to begin to put a reply together,
read Hebrews 11 (God's so called chapter of fame)

Really???
What a bunch of di ckheads!
READ IT for goodness sakes. What a bunch of Neanerthals.
Lot was a righteous man because he was prepared to offer his daughters to be raped???
Seriously?

[naomi24]

I think God was pretty serious about that, Nailit.

[Theland]

Calm down lad, calm down.
You try reading it, again!
It is a lesson in faith.
By faith they trusted God to bring them through the danger and out the other side unscathed, and that goes for Lots daughters too.
Were they raped? No! There you are then!

Yes I know all about Ravi. Quite shocking what he did in his private life. I feel so sorry for his family.
