Perry,
Your use of profane words (referencing the act of sexual intercourse) is quite shocking, and not something one would expect from a worshipper of Christ. Brooks |

Wow. To think the only reason I didn't reply to this idiot's "miracle" claims was because I thought we should be nice to him. Forget it, dude, you get only so much benefit of the doubt, and you just spent it.

I'm apologize for the mispelling of Atheist several times. Now on with the topic...
I see you didn't read the part where I said "Wait I guess I'd be sterotyping you just like you do Christians. Oops, my bad." I know those were just stereotypes. My point is not all christians are the same. Just like not all Atheists are the same. You can stereotype us and it's okay. If we sterotype you it's not okay. What's wrong with this picture? Okay, I reread my origial post and I didn't mean to put any of you guys down. I just think stereotyping Christians isn't cool. I read a thread here where someone encouraged all of the atheists on this board to cause shit. It was for a theist message board. For those defending college: It makes you think, their way. Rimstalker, sorry for making you mad. Those things I talked about were not made up. I just got pissed at a thread I saw. My apologies.

Your attempt at stereotyping an atheist has failed. This is because its not a group in any real way. There is only one commonality: disbelief in a god.
In my opinion most christians fit into their little box without many problems. They mostly tend to think in a very similar way. Note that I said most. [ February 14, 2002: Message edited by: Christopher Lord ]</p> |

Here are, as I see it, the two extremes in the continuum of "how to think": 1) You can be so sure of your position and so afraid of what your leaders have told you that you do not even consider the other side and then declare that you know everything there is to know about whatever it is you really know nothing about. 2) You take literally nothing at face value, investigate ALL claims, do not just believe in something because you were told (or because it just "felt" right), and actually EDUCATE yourself about issues before you weigh in on them. And then, after all of that, you STILL admit that you don't know everything there is to know. College teaches you HOW to think towards the 2nd end of the extreme. This way of thinking seems less likely to create a Taliban or Spanish Inquisition. It also tends to help me get a better job than a gopher at the 700 Club. I'm going with option 2. |

If you meant to be satirical, the fact that it was not seen as satire indicates that you failed.
If you intend to complain about specific acts by specific people, why did you not do that? To attack atheists means that you are blaming me, and I did nothing. If you attack the people who specifically did what you accuse them of as individuals then you have some credibility. As I stated, if you want to debate the existence of God or some aspect of that then I am happy to do so. And I am usually polite. |

You can't spell "atheist".
You can't spell "ulterior". I'm not on any meds, although I'm aware that FDA regs might fall short of the mark from time to time. I dress in a nondescript, utilitarian style. I agree that learning is largely self initiated, although getting my Bachelor's degree helped me learn how to evaluate ideas. *All* my friends believe in "God", in one sense or another. I'd say many or most atheists lean left (although I'm by no means sure of that), but I'm right of center. I don't watch MTV. I don't even have cable. I listen to music that most people hate. I'm unambitious, and wouldn't trade additional income for free time, ever! Free time > teh monies!!!1111 You can't spell "Christian", despite the fact to profess to be one. You fail! I don't stereotype Christians, whose personalities certainly run the gamut from reasonable to insane. But Christianity itself is false, and based upon mere assertion, and I've no problem criticising it. [ February 14, 2002: Message edited by: kingcrim99 ]</p> |
