Well Mr Johnson I guess I got my moneys worth asking you that.
So lemme get this straight <no pun intended>....anyone using protection is having safe sex?
So as long as I bring a slingshot in to the bedroom with my wife I can do anything to her?
Ya see,sometimes you can answer someone based on their answers and be influenced on what to say and rather than argue or debate the issue be entertaining to the rest reading this.
Falconer already beat me to the S&M quip, so I'll just address the fact that your attempt at humor is only to avoid the subject. If your points were valid, there'd be no need for distractions.
When you don't understand something due to someone being unclear, you should express that you don't understand so that you may gain clarification as opposed to your current approach of not only pretending you understand but insisting you have some insight on a subject when it can easily be proven that you clearly don't, spout uneducated nonsense, receive correct verifiable information but promptly ignore it because you would have to admit to embracing idiotic beliefs all of your life, continue to sound like a fool and wallow in ignorance like a pig in slop.
So basically,Like Falconeer,you consider yourself so intellectually superior,that us fleas are beneath you with our primitive beliefs and are not worthy of your great wisdom.
I swear,I've seen arrogance in Atheists in my time in cyberspace,but this place sure knows how to breed 'em.
The projection is strong with this one.
The very first sentence is about how I deal with
not understanding things. Why would someone claiming such intellectual prowess admit to not understanding something? That's not stated in this paragraph nor in anything I've read in posts by Falconer... but anyway, been there, fielded that...
Btw, without fail, no matter the forum, online or otherwise, believers will always whip out "he's so arrogant" or "he thinks he knows everything". This is of course an ad hominem. It's very high school. I liken it to a pretty girl who all the guys are into, walking by another group of girls. She says nothing and is just minding her business, but what's the first thing that comes out of the other girls mouths? "She thinks she's all that!" She's just walking by! YOU must think she's "all that" and you don't compare. Instead of acknowledging this inadequacy, you instead project it on to her where it manifests itself (in your head) as her being conceited. You can now, of course, proceed to attack this short coming "she" has.
The only one talking about how "intellectually superior" we are, is you... on more than one occasion I might add. This says way more about you than us. You're the guy that says "everywhere I go, it always smells terrible", and never once thinks to check the bottom of your own shoes.
I have brought this up before.I am not sold on the fact that Mr Johnson and Falconer are atheists. And as I said when you see their distaste,distain and just overall dislike for a Creator,how can you feel that way about someone you didn't think existed?
I'm sure, as is the case with most Christians that try to run this tired line, you have some warped idea of what atheism is which would be why you're not "sold". I discuss god the same way I discuss any villain in any book, play or movie. When you discuss Star Wars, when talking about Darth Vader, do you start off every sentence with "Though I don't believe Darth actually exists..."?
My distaste and disdain is for people like you. You spout this garbage and have no concern for the fact that this actually affects people's lives. Homosexuals are your relatives, your friends, your coworkers... they are real people. They are soldiers, police, fire fighters, babysitters, and teachers. You have the nerve to admonish others for being cafeteria Christians when that's all you are. You pick and chose what you want believe. You're a hypocrit. The passages on slavery and homosexuality are both in Leviticus yet you only chose to focus on one of those. I wonder why that is? You're a coward. Either own it all or own none of it. When this is pointed out to you, instead of addressing it head on (because you know you can't reconcile this), you, like a coward, want to change the subject to the parts of the bible that make you feel all warm and fuzzy in side...
Its also funny how they choose parts of the bible that they think makes God look cruel.
I don't have to
make your god look cruel, the bible does that without my help. You ignore it because you can't reconcile what you want to believe with what's actually there.
Why don't they look at the definition of Love in Corinthians?You wont find a better one for a word that is taken for granted in this world.Or the fact that God allowed A&E to have off-spring?So ungrateful for being born.Or that food tastes so good or whats more beautiful than a sunset?
Why don't you look at the fact that Hitler was a painter? Some serial killers give to charity too. I'm grateful for my parents and cooks that make such great food and the farmers that grow it.
I could go on and on but I need not.
Please don't. You should've never started. Keep your head in your bible learning wonderful things like not suffering witches to live and I'll keep refusing to suffer fools. We'll see which piece of advice turns out to be more useful.
