    when in doubt, talk pearl jam.

    see... that's usually when friends, cute girls, pets, etc. have their eyes glaze over. it'd be a refreshing change of pace i think!

    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.

    That was just plain nasty ss. And frankly a bit disappointing.

    Perhaps OLS suffers poor communication skills just as you do some days?

    Not really sure what you would get out of being cruel. I've seen you make some fairly wildly fantastical posts yourself, so perhaps it's the competition you don't like? Or maybe you are just "frustrated" again?

    Anyway, I can think of worse people to worship, supposing I could be bothered worshipping any person.
    NOPE!!!

    why do athiests have so much anger toward those of religion? religious threads here turn into athiest trying to prove those of religion are wrong. why? where does this anger come from. if you tell someone of religion that you are athiest; they feel sorry for you and maybe pray for you; which is an act of compassion to them. yet athiests can't wait to jump on someone trying to prove they're wrong. they disrespect that person and thier beliefs. are these the attributes of a "good" person?

    the act of praying is in itself disrepecting the athiest's beliefs. I know what you are saying, in your eyes, it's compassion, your beliefs tells you that is what a good person should do. But the praying could come across as proving them wrong and disrepecting how they feel. To believe or not believe does not make them a good or bad person.

    The world has always had a battle with religion or the lack there of. It's probably best that the board take the discussions about it off since it really had turned sour at times. Now hopefully that does not spark a debate on censorship because that is not what I mean.

    im just still bitter about the fact that he never backs his shit up. he drops these things but wont prove any of them. said he was a lawyer but knew less about the constitution than a first year and 2 bored people surfing the internet. i smell bullshit, and i call it. if he stepped up to the plate, id not have to call him on it. but i find it mighty suspicious that no matter what the debate or topic is, he claims to have had some amazing personal insight into this based on a lifetime of training, then disappears without supporting any of his wild allegations. it's annoying. this was the first time i've ever gotten a straight response from him.

    you couldn't be any more right glynn. this idea was creeping through the back of my mind. i was just never able to word it the way you do.

    There are so many things wrong with this post I don't know where to begin.

    Where do you get that the 'act of praying' is 'disrespectful' to anyone's beliefs, much less the atheist?

    Well not to all athiests and their beliefs. Some athiests understand that for a person to pray for them is just their way of trying to be supportive.
    And as someone's prayers would not change my beliefs then I have no problem with some one praying for me if it is something that they feel will help me. I see it as their way of caring about me and my situation.

    did you ever watch the scene from sex and the city where that one redheaded chick... the one with short hair. gets mad at her housecleaning lady for telling her God bless you and throwing the sign of the cross at her?
