as I mentioned you guys so funny if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck
its a duck
some posts no question about perception
no.... I said some come to insult out of being defensive not while they are statingtheir beliefs
Big difference
Your fence Jonny is showing
As I have said
So the debate becomes the validity of the question itself.
To me that is wrong .. the question was a valid one for believers and
had awesome potential until non believers made it a joke.
But its not too late perhaps we can get more beautiful conjuring imagery
as some have posted ... their posts in all seriousness with reflection...
not satirical.
Oh well, I disagree, but thats fine.
Especially with the idea that non-believers might have entered this thread and been surprised enough to get defensive. I cant speak for everyone, but I knew exactly how this thread would unravel itself. I saw nobody on the defensive except believers labeling people as acting out of fear.
And yes, it does start with the validity of the question itself.
Again, the perception of who was joking is in question I suppose...I only saw one or two that were jokes, and could be obviously dismissed as such..the cartoon and the painting. But then again, its good to see those because somewhere, somebody actually thought that up for a reason. So, it just comes down to who was offended and who thought everyone else was making a joke out of it, and took it too personally...of which I only saw two people. And those two people turned around and made a blanket statement that non-believers who do that are only acting out of fear. Quite the irony if you ask me.
So, that duck of yours might actually be a goose to the other 100 people meadering this thread.
Either way, even as a non-believer myself, I find the question and ALL of the answers (good or bad) very fascinating.
