funny how the ad for this video is one for a "bible degree"

[TheBarkingAtheist]

@1C9J9S5 Click on that shit! It takes money out of the hands of the theists!

[SiriusMined]

We should get some Muslim kids to do said bullying to Christian kids, using this bullshit shield law.

I predict it will be repealed within minutes......

[TheBarkingAtheist]

@SiriusMined Or we could have Pastafarians start bullying midgets, as the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster pokes fun at little people a couple of times.

[MeBeMat]

Fuck it, let's make atheism a religion just to fuck them up.

[TheBarkingAtheist]

@MeBeMat But we don't have mean things to say about gay people, unless you're Charlie Check'm, because we're actually somewhat reasonable people.

[ThePariahLivesOn]

At this point debate & rational behaviour isn't working.

time to just start breaking necks

There are situations in which freedom of speech must be limited. A school environment is obviously one of them. I want to go to a Michigan school and just yell at some black kid that I think all black people are going to hell because the flying spaghetti monster told me.

I hate Michigan. lol I live there too.

@TheHigherVoltage You know what? I've grown tired of talking about this nonsense dealing with the warring religions and stuff. Your own belief is what matters, not some crap that factions try to pull on each other. It seems you think I'm some religious activist; I'm not. I mean, this whole argument started with me saying that I'm against homosexual bias. Why did you think that this is an opening for you to attack me? We don't even know each other.

[KingdomHeartsBrawler]

@TheHigherVoltage First off, I don't give the Church money. I don't give anything during the Offeratory part with the baskets. Secondly, I'm not defending the Church, I'm just defending the fact that I personally believe in God.

[TheHigherVoltage]

@KingdomHeartsBrawler " is that just because I believe in God and do things how I do them doesn't mean I'm giving other people power."..." I'm a regular moderate Catholic"

If you give the Catholic church money, you are giving them power.

If you defend the Catholic church, you are defending their power.

That just the reality of money and apologetics.

[KingdomHeartsBrawler]

@TheHigherVoltage Ironically, it seems you take religion far more seriously than I do. When it comes to religion, I just worry about me, not any other organizations. With politics, however, that's a different story. Perhaps we can talk about that instead. ;)

[KingdomHeartsBrawler]

@TheHigherVoltage Quite frankly, I do apply that principle. I look at things objectively. Another thing, as well, is that just because I believe in God and do things how I do them doesn't mean I'm giving other people power. I set my own limits, and I give myself my own power. Besides, this "conversation" is getting stale (most of your comments were nitpicks anyway). Bottom line - I'm a regular moderate Catholic, you are undetermined... live with it.

[TheHigherVoltage]

@KingdomHeartsBrawler "You, like the ultra-conservatives, are so staunch in your position that you'll blindly adhere to your "principles", believe everyone else is wrong (and condemn them, possibly), and bellitle everyone else for having opposing beliefs."

Nice strawmannig projectionism!

My personal opinions do not come into play when evaluating evidence. The only agenda I have is figuring out the truth of things, and change my evaluations with any new, valid evidence.

You should try it.

[TheHigherVoltage]

@KingdomHeartsBrawler Simple question : how many Christian organizations do you know that declare "Let's get along with Muslims and accept their religion as 'ok with Jesus".

I know many moderates that say this, but the churches they give money to do not.

Which Christian sect - be it Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Eastern Orthodox - any of the major branches - that do not demonize Islam?...or other Christian sects for that matter?

Educate me on the 'real' Christian tolerance.

[TheHigherVoltage]

@KingdomHeartsBrawler "...not moderate believers like me."

Moderates are the powerbase for the fundies. Most moderates I know are fine with 'live and let live'. And on Sundays, a portion of their donations is funneled to organizations that work to stamp out everyone else.

This isn't hard to understand - moderates are the financial, social, and political powerbase for fundamentalist initiatives.
