Bullshit

[bmacliberty]

Atheists, agnostics, and people of faith can get along just fine. We all have a common purpose in promoting liberty.

[MrLettuceguy]

I know but how can we ask others to drop their false beliefs, like belief in the state, if we hang on to our own?

You bring up children with cancer instead of hmmmmm.... logic.

[Ricky Bobby]

No, because I am not trying to convince you to believe, just to get off my jock about what I believe. All I am trying to convince you of is I have the right to deal with my reality. What you do not seem to understand is that insulting a community is an aggressive action I do not choose to make. Subjective... like reactions of being told what to believe. Stop aggressing you assumptions of truth and my beliefs will not bother you.

[Ricky Bobby]

Is the reaction to a Sunrise solely about it's appearance or the warmth and renewed affirmation of another day add to it's beauty? Sometimes there is more then what meets the eye. Jesus walks with me and helps shape my decisions. The company is a net gain in my daily life. Who are you to piss in my well? Are you willing to take responsibility for my happiness and morality? If I believe blue is my favorite color then you trying to convince me red is better is an aggressive loss of choice.

[Ricky Bobby]

The "Flying Spaghetti Monster" is your independent perception of what God is. Giving the idea size and scope. If you can convince others then it's power grows. If you can get people to unite and accomplish common goals then that is the effect of it's existence.

So, I should conform to the majority opinion, or be confined? Interesting.

[Ricky Bobby]

Really? Did man make the Sun? Prayer is of no use to you because you do not prey. Does the fact that your child's prayers are for you not have any affect physically or mentally? I say it does for the child and the father. Recognition is existence. The more people that recognize the existence of a higher power are the body of it's existence. The example of Christ is it's flesh and blood. Like the state, it is a shared ideal. Fighting God's existence proves existence.

[Ricky Bobby]

No, I think that you mean that you disagree with me. If you do support non aggression then using derogatorily terms to describe me because I disagree is a violation of non aggression, making you a Hippocrate. I was in the audience and the discussion was a healthy one. What is happening here is not.

They are a waste of time, things happen because people make them happen not because of a invisible man in the sky. Instead of praying why not spend the time writing his father a letter and drawing him a picture it'll do a lot more good than talking to someone who doesn't exist.

[FordGTGuy]

Okay here I am thanking the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the blessing he provides. Oh wait that doesn't prove his existence....

You really need to open your eyes, If you spoke the same way about anything other than god you would be locked in a insanity ward.
