no, no, i clearly remember. not only did she change her vibrator with a cross but she prior to that she would always throw the sign of the cross at her. even prior to that incident she'd always feel bothered by her throwing the sign of the cross and doing her religious rituals.

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.

But why does it matter so much to you? And if even if it does, I mean come on ss, bitter? :rolleyes:
Perhaps, as he is possibly almost twice your age, he has done a lot of things in his life and maybe he doesn't want to be specific about details on a thread?
I mean if you really wanted to know specifics, then perhaps pm would be the way to go? Although I wouldn't blame him if you didn't get any answers there either. If I felt you were that angry at me, I surely wouldn't be telling you personal stuff, hence me no longer speaking to anihmus.

And maybe this all gets back to the focus thing I was talking about before?
I've seen plenty of threads where OLS has posted really interesting, factual information. I've also seen threads where he has posted things that I don't personally agree with. But I don't see him as some kind of monster. I don't understand why you have focused on attacking him personally. I mean what difference does he make to your life really?

And how does any of this have any bearing on the original post of the thread?

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?

i have no problem with religion. Its great, if thats what you need to help you live a good life, then have at it. I will debate with someone if they ask me a question about it. I do not start threads about it, nor do I call anyone names. you are making assumptions about atheist, and you know what they say about assumptions.


Stop making assumptions about me, or i'll start making them about you.

well, i think he's justified in starting this thread because certain folks in here have started threads that speak mainly against the traditions and teachings of christianity and most seem to agree with those "assumptions" they make of it as well.

Never really bothered with Sex In The City.

I'd rather be doing than watching.

Ok, I'm off now, so don't be thinking I've cracked the sads and run off to hide.

I'll be back later, to check on your work!

Have a good day, or evening.

Right because this accurately describes all Christians 100%.

The real root of the problem is that you people seem to be so close-minded, biased and prejudiced that you think all Christians are identical.

umm you do the same thing with atheist..............................

oh I get that part, but do you think he would make a thread if we we fighting about hindi? Nope, also he is upset because atheist make assumptions about christ, but its okay for him to make vast sweeping assumptions about athieist?

why not stop making assumptions about everyone altogether? wouldn't that make it easier to understand?

Great. Except...in all your intelligence...you still haven't figured out that it doesn't bother me if they bash religion, but it does bother them if I am pro-religion.

You don't have a real great grasp of the obvious, huh?

if it doesn't bother you, why do you go into obviously atheist threads and start talking about Jesus and how bad YOU feel that were all going to hell?

If It didn't bother you, you could ignore it....

Say out of the anti-god threads, and we'll stay out of the Jesus is awsome thread...........

i dont think i ever said he was a monster. i said he was full of shit. like i said, he reminds me of that kid in junior high that always made up something to have the coolest story. it was annoying then and it's annoying now. if he wants to throw that shit out there, then he can expect to be called on it. you went to tell me about the constitution, then prove you know what you're talking about. he didnt. he got schooled by hippiemom. this is a forum about debate. if you want to jerk each other's egos off and flirt and giggle about your crushes, go to aet. he can handle himself and he always has. but if he doesn't want to be asked about these mysterious experiences, he shouldn't be citing to them as reasons for the rest of us to believe he is right.

it has to do with the thread becos once again, he claimed there were some 619 commandments that every law ever made was based upon and that encompasses all of human morality. i and several others asked what these were as we had never heard of them and there was no reply. i figured it was another of his unsubstantiated claims. for once though, he gave a real answer (they are in the koran) and so i asked where i could see the list. still have not gotten a response. people have tried searching for them... but the only google search result for 619 commandments is... yup, the posts he has made on this board. might strange dont you think?

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?

if an atheist doesn't believe, what the heck would they need prayer for. What is prayer? To pray? To atheist is means nothing more than a waste of time, and quite frankly I would think insulting to them. Insulting=disrespecting to me.

You're not giving much proof to back your statement. At best, you're making the assumption that "atheists" don't understand prayer. I don't think this is so.
