Dang! This hurricane season is becoming almost like the THE thread. ..... It ... just ... won't ... die! :blink:

... and then gets creamed by that godless, lawless atheist who just doesn't believe that there are absolutes such as 'Stop'. He later gets thrown in the drunk tank along with the fundy preacher who was arrested for getting it on with his hot church secretary right there in the front seat, in public, whilst he was stopped at the Stop sign.

Socks, So you *DO* understand more of what we infidels go thru!

TWI's definition of godly sorrow = what they feel like after the IRS takes away their tax exempt status.

Johniam, Ahh, try having a guy tell that to the judge when he's charged with physical spousal abuse after she harps on him time after time. Not outside self-defense?? Please tell me that you aren't that out-to-lunch. Please! :o

I'm with ya George. Time to leave Candyland to those who enjoy that sort of thing. (where's a poopy smiley when ya need it?)

So I'm the intolerant one for being against their intolerance? :huh: Hhmmm. I still see no connection between how one throws an axe and their (supposed) 'effeminacy' or of their patriotism. Must be because of my 'intolerence'. <_<

With that vacuous judgement about "If they are inclined to be effeminate, they will unconsciously jerk back on the handle and spin the tomahawk instead of slamming it right square at the target.", well yeah, crap like that wouldn't be tolerated. Has anyone here ever thought about why that statement should be true? Hasn't it ever occured to anyone to challenge the validity of that line of thinking? Or is that 'effeminate' too? And what has hard-core patriotism have to do with how one throws an axe? Just as long as the axe hits its target? Puzzling, very puzzling indeed. Kit, I don't think that the banning gays and atheists Boy Scouts from participating is exactly 'standing up to the rigors of defending their beliefs', do you?

Uuhhmmmm ... okay (as a last resort to ease Sirguessalot's needless pain and anger from my so-called 'poop' posts, I offer him a .) B) I do have a question for you tho' to consider whilst you are enjoying the Stroh's, Why do you say that I'm dodging and distracting? From what? And please be as specific and non-poetic as you can please, cuz frankly guy, a lot of what you posted in my direction either didn't make sense, or it doesn't even begin to address the points I made. Or that Sudo made for that matter. And I ask that in all honesty.

(as I read Sirrantalot's posts, that song of "Get Over It!" keeps humming in my mind) Get over it Get over it All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get over it B) Anyway, looks like you don't know me either, yet you make some of the most outrageous and knee jerk claims about me I've seen yet. Go back on vacation, pop some pills, listen to some Lawrence Welk, but in any event, ... Get a grip! ((shaking my head))

Sirguessalot (my, but that name fits you well), Chief, you DO need a 2 week vacation. Really! You do! ... Get a grip, ok? You say you are an atheist? Funny, you don't act like one.Socks, Full of myself because of that point I made about some of the crap that happens to unbelievers? Tell you what. Take this lil experiment. Move to a small town where you KNOW nobody knows you. At all. For about 2 weeks. Play like you're an atheist. Get to know the locals there; be nice and all (wouldn't want to be like me now, would ya? ;) ) As you're getting to know them and they bring up "Where do you go to church" or they invite you to church, make sure that you tell them that you're an atheist, and that you don't believe in any mythical god and such, and come up with a clearly non-Christian reason why. Do it nicely, of course, but be honest and straight forward about being an atheist. (Remember, this is is a part to play; I know that you aren't an actual atheist) The lessons you will learn and the experience you will go through will be eye opening, of that I am sure about. :blink: You will get responses ranging anywhere from people (condescendingly) offering to pray for your soul, to saying that you will burn in hell for not accepting Jesus, to angry looks and mutterings under people's breath, to not being able to land a job because of it, to even the distinct possibility of threats and even violence upon your person. (Yes Virginia, all of this has occured in this free land of ours, it really has) Ie., its something you won't soon forget. And you blathely discard this as 'being full of myself'? ... Yah! And Clinton never lied either! Oh wait! That's right. Only Christians get persecuted now, don't they? Why you can just see it in Sircomplainalot's posts, while me, Sudo and other 'infidels' poop on their parade by simply responding on this thread why we don't believe. Like I said, you folks are just going to have to deal with us and our unbelief, cause we ain't going away. Doncha just LUV us Bearers of Good Tidings!

Try Firefox browser. The latest version, that is.

Like I said. Fascinating, just fascinating! Some folks here acuse Sudo (and of course other infidels here, like yours truly) of pooping on 'the table of those here' on this thread. Others wonder why we ever post our ((cough)) 'bitterness', our disbelief, our 'poopy' skepticism, et al. ... And yet, look at the thread title: Now, I'm no grammar and English professor, but I believe (Ohhh looky! GarthP2000 finally believes!) that that is addressed to those who don't believe. (Uh ohh, is this a throwback to PFAL? Ya know, 'to whom it is addressed'? :o Not to worry, I have no green cards for anyone to sign ;) ) So here we come with why we might not believe, and some folks here go ape-&$*#. (See my post earlier about when us blasphemers state why we don't believe in your deity and how the more religious rant and rave about that) And the Penn and Teller video? I know that they are magicians, but the central point that they were making wasn't a magic trick, ..... unless getting you to think is something that parallels pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Nowhere on this thread is any poop session going on. Deal with the fact that there are those who are more open about voicing why they don't believe, and getting your panties in a knot is no way to deal with that. Else those of us who don't believe will scoff, and make comments about how you help prove our points by doing that. I mean, how many times have we unbelievers been 'pooped on' by those who state openly that we are going to burn in hell, that we aren't moral, that we are ruining this country and that we just cannot be patriotic Americans because we don't believe. ... And that isn't the worst things that atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and the like have experienced over the years from religious folks, believe you me. Some of the unbelievers I know can tell of accounts that will drop your jaw. So spare us the "I'm being pooped on here" drama queen routine, please. It gets old kinda fast, and I have a weak stomach. Other than that, party on!

Gee, I'm sorry, but I thought that nailing blind defenders of fraudulant religious leaders for what they are IS a rather positive thing to do. I mean, if you identify a harmful in-duh-vidual AS a harmful in-duh-vidual, then you have done a POSITIVE thing for others. Wouldn't you agree? And if you are so 'over' Wierwille, like your buddy Johniam, then why does it matter to either of you that there are those revealing the crap that has happened under Wierwille, particularly since doing so back when he was alive would have gotten them kicked out of TWI, hmmmm? So why don't you let it go?

Johniam and Allan both provide the classic examples of the kind of fake and fraudulant religion, the kind that makes big promises of deliverance and power, and yet winds up screwing people. Yet when their fraudulance is called for what it is, they get anal as hell, and act like they are persecuted by none less than the devil himself. Since VPW is the best that they can provide for an example of ((cough)) 'godly leadership' that they remain blindly loyal to, they can do nothing else than lash out and degrade the detractors, even including the people who were hurt by VPW himself. ... Cause that's all they have to come back with. Power for abundant living my a**!!

Hey Ron, What does he do when you pull his string, do public readings of his works, and then keel over from all the stress?

Ya know, I find it totally fascinating, that when atheists are rendered from anything to being destined to burn forever in the fiery depths of hell, to being communists, to being incapable of having any morals at all, its treated as nothing really significant to get offended about. Why even George Bush Sr. once said that he didn't consider atheists to be patriotic because "this is one country under God", you see. Yet Sudo comes across with what can be rationally considered a 'kind yet condescending put down' regarding why religious people believe like they do, and he's a "********** just for saying that". And many religious folks get 'morally outraged and indignant' because an atheist simply is returning the favor of what they honestly think religion amounts to, after being told by religious people what atheism amounts to. What ever happened to what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, hmmmm? You all REALLY want to get your 'panties in a knot'? Really want to 'be made sad'? Try this link on for size. Penn and Teller cuts to the chase! Let it not be said that Penn and Teller pulls any punches. ;)

This subject might not die, but it sure looks like its finally on life support, having evidently lost all the winds to its sails. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good THE! B)

I'd be r-e-a-l careful with that one. :huh:

I heard this one from George Carlin: Get into a long line at a bank, a very l-o-n-g line. When you finally get up to the counter, ask them if they have change for a nickel. The other tellers will actually walk over and look at you!

One question about this conspiracy: Is this individual at the center of it all? Bill N' Opus in '08! B)

((Garth looks in his mind, ... and sees a six pack of Stroh's)) Yup. I believe I'll have another beer.

I believe, ..... ..... that I'll have another beer.

Oldies, my man, Keep in mind that TWI wanted to settle, NOT Paul & Fern. ... Ie., it was TWI that cried 'uncle!', NOT Paul & Fern. OK? Just can't get it out of your head the lie that money was all Paul & Fern were after, can ya? Deal with it!

That makes Greasespot Cafe THE place to go to, ya think? B)
