    becos people don't want your help. have you ever had disability training? rule number one when you see a blind person on the street: you don't pity them, talk down to them, or just walk up and grab them by the arm and start pulling them across the street. if you feel it is your role to help, you approach them and say "excuse me sir, i know sighted guy technique, would you like assistance?" if they say yes, there are steps, if they say no, you walk away. but just becos they are blind does not make them pathetic or pitiable. to talk to them that way is offensive to them. to assume you have superiority and should simply help them becos you can see is offensive to them. you ASK if they want help, you dont assume they need it becos they cannot see what you see. and IF you help them you don't talk about how sad you are that they are blind. they know they're blind, they dont need you to make them feel bad about it.

    same here. you assume that you know more than an atheist, and becos of this you feel you are entitled to tell them what to do and they should be grateful you deigned to help them and feel srry for them. that is arrogant on your part and offensive to them. they know they are an atheist and if they want your "compassion" they will ask for it. but to assume they need it and to tell them you think their state of affairs is so sad and pathetic is rude and offensive. you'd never think about saying such things to a blind man. "i feel so sorry for you, your life must be so empty without sight, here, let me help you becos clearly you need it and are lost without me." yet this is exactly what you are saying you do to atheists out of compassion.


    well said..of course know1 or onelongsong will find some reason that you're wrong:)

    yes and after your last post you failed to read my sarcasm as well. i oughtta slap you for that. j/k

    anyways... this conversation is so old and boring. let's talk about girls and dating and stuff.

    have any of you ever noticed why girls never turn to look at you at a stop light? not like i'm a pervert or anything but damn. they never bother turn and look at you. what's up with that? where is it that they come up with "love at first sight"? don't they ever think that maybe at a stop light is a great spot for this opportunity?
    ...
    My guess is it has something to do with the 532nd Commandment... Chicks shalt not look upon random dudes in chariots at crossroads... or something.

    I think some of those Commandments are the ones about the burnt offerings to the temple if your dog crapped on your neighbor's lawn and junk. OneLongSong should know since he is the one that abides by them. I can't find anything on the internet that lists them out.

    im reasonably certain they dont exist. onelongsong is the biggest imaginary shit talker on here. he's made more wild, unsubstantiated claims than anyone i know round here. he's a former rock star, medical miracle, milita man, has killed 2 people, a practicing attorney who has never been beaten, a buffalo rancher, and now, apparently, the sole keeper of 619 commandments wired directly to him by god.

    new motion: atheists and christians be damned. we should all be worshipping onelongsong, cos he CLEARLY is god's gift to this message board! a regular renaissance man.

    i'm just afraid that maybe i WILL fall in love, and you'll drive away. i could try to chase after you, but if there is a lot of traffic it could get dangerous. and i could get pulled over for speeding, and i can't say to the cop "but officer i am trying to catch the love of my life" he'd think i was crazy! plus i can't afford a speeding ticket.

    I'm an atheist. My girlfriend is not. She goes to church every Sunday.
    I always wake up before she goes and kiss her goodbye.
    I never ask her why she is going and she never asks me to go.
    I respect her ideas and she respects mine.
    We get along great and are very happy together.
    This is all that really matters in life.

    now that's how it should be. and the question was why can't others act as you do.

    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Exactly!

    Why can't people abort fetuses?
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    They have better peripheral vision than we do. They see us... we just don't know it.

    where do these 619 commandments come from then? where are they listed? who wrote them down? did you imagine them out of thin air?

    if you'd like a short theology lesson; moses brought down 619 commandments. these 619 were called the 10 commandments later because people were over whelmed. the 619 are listed in the koran but the bible only mentions thier existence.

    yeah! that's probably true... just like when they might not think they're attracted but they're so in love with you

    To the point where 619 become 10?

    Sounds kind of like our mainstream media. Maybe God should've used soundbites.

    Doesn't Jesus say exactly that somewhere in Luke? Might want to zip up there, onelong, your xianity is hanging out.
