phreedm:
“I’ve shown your efforts to rewrite history on several occasions.”
Oh, I must’ve missed that. I thought we’d disagreed.
I’ll have to be brutally honest here.
Since you misquoted Paine in the Coffee thread, & then tried to reinforce the lie that he recanted on his deathbed (when busted, you ignored it), well, I don’t trust 1 word you say.
& you have never proven that I’ve quoted the FF out of context, outside of the accusation.
I reckon your street cred w/me is slim to none.
When you paint w/a broad brush, like so:
“Oh, then perhaps I’m wrong. I thought every atheist thought the bible was full of myths.”
I just shake my head, roll my eyes, & shrug.
You believe what you want to believe, my friend. You will anyways.
Good morning reluctant!
What a memory you have, to recall even in which thread phreedm misquoted Paine! I didn’t even remember that he had. But Paine is so near and dear to your heart, I guess you’d pay more attention.
Do you remember tis? Who called us “reprobates”? Was it jcc or Tim?
(I LOVE being a reprobate, don’t you?)
karen:
Morning, dear. It was jcc, if memory serves. No, my memory is pretty bad, actually. All it shows, is that I spend far too much time on this blog.
Yeesh! Gotta go get me some hobbies!
KAREN a total slut, and a whore. I sure hope her “husband” enjoys getting herpes or genital warts, because thats all he is going to get from her. Who wants to bet her marriage will be shorter than Brittany Spears’ last one. I also can’t believe that Nicole Richie who is actually pretty nice to look at, hangs around with this slut.
I see Charlie the Imposter is back.
Don’t worry, real Charlie, I know it isn’t you.
Good luck, Dave! Hope the Atheist Foxhole event goes well. I was at the American Atheists March on DC in Novemeber 2002 when I was still a resident of the US. I remember the bible thumpers on the sidelines spewing their superstitious dogma. It is refreshing to know the struggle goes on!
CPT (Retired) William Collins
Shenzhen, China
In the 17th and 18th centuries, lances were used not only by infantrymen, but also by cavalry. A cavalry lance was 2.8-2.9 m (9-10 ft) long with a 12-cm (4″) spear-head. Troopers fastened small flags – oriflammes – to their lances. When charging, these flags emitted a buzzing sound that suppressed an enemy psychically. A thrust from a cavalry lance was very strong because it used the kinetic energy of the spanking horse. In the Middle Ages, a heavy spear – the ancestor of the cavalry lance – was a knight’s main weapon. A champion could deliver a strong collision blow that no armour could withstand. With the development of firearms and with knights becoming regular cavalry, the lance gave way to the broadsword and pistol. By the 18th century, mainly the light cavalry was armed with lances.
I was there, at the foxhole event. I have a few pictures. It was so wonderful to see so many very strong Atheists. And their stories were worth the trip there. Seeing Hans and siging the banner. I only wish my kids would have been old enough to have enjoyed it as much as we (me and my husband) did.
I hope this becomes an annual thing.
Dam….sounded like ur story was almost kinda magical there AtheistMommy
OK….imposter CharIie….its time we had it out….not really….but dam….help a brother out dude…I dont wanna change my nick
I think I have affection for Karen
Charlie
Don’t sweat it too much. I’m sure when Dave gets back, he’ll straighten it out, like he did with Hairless’s imposter.
Now sets see,
First we have ol’ Pat Robertson wishing that a natural calamity would somehow befall Dover, PA simply because the good people there used their veto power against an ‘activist’ (to use the currently popular rhetoric) school board.
Now we have Bill O’Reilly unapologetically declaring that he hopes Al Qaeda bombs San Francisco!
http://mediamatters.org/items/200511100008
So it’s not okay to withhold support for a particular war or a particular presidential administration, but it is okay to wish death and destruction on the cities of your own country!!???
Now tell me, everyone, just who the fuck are the real un-americans here?
All together now! 1…2….3…..
now sets see? Starting to sound Chinese or something – no offense to any Chinese here
karen:
no matter what imposter charlie says, i still love you.
btw, did you notice the reference to paris and nicole. he must be a teenager who spends his nights online looking for naked pics…
imposter charlie, you won’t find that here, so move on down the line!
podry
Thank you. I love you too.
About imposter Charlie’s words, I just considered the source.
r4d
O’Reilly’s an asswipe. Karen the Slut says so.
No doubt Dave will figure out a good method of spanking the impostor. Meanwhile, I changed the font for the comment headers to Times. The serifs will help identify frauds.
Doing a quick search this morning I can’t find any pics of the march in DC on Friday.
When they are posted I sure hope they are wide angle shots and not just close ups. Close ups are used to skew the event depending on who’s posting the pic.
The focus however is your phrase ‘any religious belief’. Does the term
‘god’ refer to a religious belief? Or is it just a general historical
term reflecting the attitudes of the founders? Pat Robertson has done
some ‘god harm’ so that is one step toward removing the ‘god’ term. This
negates that atheist Brown woman and her stupid comment. PA school
board lost out but the Christian public won one in Florida over keeping
school Christmas holiday on the school calendar. Bush sounded stupid today
with 6 out of 10 Americans not believing what he says. Arnold caved in
to the unions in CA. They all ganged up on him and followed him
everywhere he went. He’s about to get booted next year.
don’t think Christianity is totally persecuted in America, but I do think the country is divided right now. With this divide, Christianity will soon be on a decline and eventually persecuted, as it is prophesized in the bible (to those who have read the book of revelation and believe in it.)
I have started to notice Christianity taken out of things more so than before, from big things like the constitution to small things like Wal-Mart changing their “Merry Christmas” greeting to “happpy holidays”, which entails that they want to appeal to the secular crowd who celebrate Christmas without the Christ part in Christmas, or to appease to other religions that celebrate their holy holiday around the same time frame. I’m sure there will be a time in the distant future where Christmas music involving Christ’s birth will not be allowed on radio play because it may offend the minority, etc.
So, to answer the post question… it is slowly happening as foretold. The country is trying to appease to the minority and their right to practice “not practicing religion”, and would rather take away Christian practice than offend. That is my subjective opinion.
Phreedom:
Before you look at the pics, make sure you change your close-minded, narrow, self-serving eyes to a more open-minded view of what is really going on.
Then, and only then, will you see what is out there.
imposter charIie,
open your eyes, christianity is not the only religion to have holidays during the winter months. Private businesses are being inclusive of the melting pot that is America, not because they are appealing to the secular crowd (around 14% of the population). You are either very young, or not from the US, and thus do not have a grasp on society.
imposter charlie
To quote r4d:
“Don’t Christ the X out of Xmas!”
Love that line, rainbows!
truTh
Guys, it’s tooooooo damn early to start arguing about Christmas!!! I’m just not ready!! There’s no money in the bank and the house is a mess!!! There’s no place to put the darn tree!!!
See, you already have me stressing out.
r4d
I still have stuff that was overlooked and didn’t get packed up and put away from last Christmas lying around.
The decorations are all up on Main St.
The stores have been decked out since before Halloween…
My house is ALWAYS a mess! (can everyone say “Lowered expectations”?)
There’s never enough money for Christmas.
Yet it comes whether we’re ready or not.
Sometimes. I think I wouldn’t bother anymore, if it weren’t for the grandkids.
But I do like to sit in the family room at night with just the tree lighted.
Yep. It’s comin’. You better start gettin’ ready. HOHOHO
CharIie:
“as it is prophesized in the bible (to those who have read the book of revelation and believe in it.)”
Quote please. You’re referring, I assume, to the Apostasy? I assume you’re a preterist, or a futurist?
“I have started to notice Christianity taken out of things more so than before, from big things like the constitution to small things like Wal-Mart changing their “Merry Christmas” greeting to “happpy holidays”, which entails that they want to appeal to the secular crowd who celebrate Christmas without the Christ part in Christmas, or to appease to other religions that celebrate their holy holiday around the same time frame.”
While I find Xmas to be a relatively harmless holiday, there is Ramadan, Hannukah, a few others that do a winter solstice celebration of sorts. So I say, “Good.” We are in no way founded on biblical premises. Sorry.
Religion is something best practiced & taught in the home.
The constant kvetching about ‘minorities getting their way’ kinda gets up my nose. It has all the earmarks of sour gr_apes.
The SC, in 1 of their rulings on state-led school prayer, observed that (para.), “The opinions of the majority shouldn’t be forced on the minority.”
It’s the 1st amendment. Bi-directional, no matter who says otherwise. Establishment clause, & all that.
You believe as you please. It’s your right to do so.
As it is mine.
It’s called freedom.
Until when, KAREN, you will abuse our patience, for how much time still you will jeer of us, the one that extreme if have-of precipitating your audacity without brake?
Nor the nocturnal patrol, nor the fears of the people, nor the affluence of the good men, nor the look and the aspect of these senas, nothing of this obtain to pertubar you.
You do not feel that your plans are in front of all, you do not see that all know your conspiracy, all know what you made in the last night
imposter charlie
Yeah, I’m one evil bitch.
Better watch out, I’m coming for you.
A global atheist conspiracy?
Shit, If only. That would be fantastic. As it is, we can barely get 200 people into a room together.
(sigh)
KARENplays is all.A gambler that has nothing to put on the table but beer caps and pocket lint.Many others here do the same Tyvec.Dont become so angry and spiteful-if you do they win.Play them back and bullsheet them so as to give their itty bitty teeny weeny egos a boost. Any person can post quotes-those with character will post in their own words and thoughts.We are all different and do not think alike-thank God.More comedians here at times than Yuk Yuks.Me included.Serious talk yes -but also with some fun.We will get that pretty(Heat) and all his little dogs to
imposter charlie
Okay, you asked for it.
Hear me now, the words of the witches,
the secrets we hid in the night,
I call on you,
to help proceed,
a resolution that’s in need.
By the dragon’s light,
On this November night,I call on thee to give thy might
By powers of three
to protect the people of love surrounding me
So mote it be, so mote it be.

CharIie:
“you will abuse our patience”
What, you royalty, or got a tapeworm?
Need to polish that stream-of-consciousness thing. ‘Cause you ain’t too good at it.
Some christians think that the bible is (I quote them:) “The exact word of God”.
Each word (of the original version) has to be perfect, true, etc…
I could imagine that if a God exist, the bible ‘could be’ the (totally imperfect) testimony of people seeing some of his acts. But this is far to be from what most christians think.
In fact, many seems to worship the Bible more than their God.
If Jesus was coming back and was saying something contrary to the bible, they would probably crucify him again themselves.
Karen…..did it work?….is the Imposter CharIie vanguished…..why does he copy and paste so much?…
And thanks be to the administrator for changing the font and exposing the CharIie nick that has an I instead of an l
real Charlie
I doubt it worked…a hex and an on-line exorcism…well I don’t know that it’s ever even been attempted before! The imposter may just be lurking and waiting…best I can do now is not feed the troll and let the admin take care of him.
Rock on Real Charlie!
Hey, boys and girls!
Just couldn’t let this one slip by:
Comment from: phreedm [Member]
“Comment from: HairlessMonkeyDK [Member]
phreedm:
“Isn’t it funny how little time some invest in searching for the Truth and yet pretend to be experts”.
Indeed.
Fox News seems to be the very epitome of that, with Creationists/IntelligentDesigners running neck n’ neck with ‘em.
Politics aside, let’s focus on religion:
Isn’t it encumbent upon someone making a claim such as:
The God of the Old Testamant/The Quran/TheEarwigFesteringInMySkull/TheTorah/TheWhatchamaCallIT/TheU.F.O’s/
is/are the True Voice O’ Our Maker, and we must all bend to his/theirs/her will,
to actually provide proof of said being/creature’s existence?
ESPECIALLY when they want to construct laws elevating THEIR delusion above those of other Believers?”
All depends on whether you’re a spectator in life or not.
Some people choose to actually work at finding the Truth.
————–
I implore you to especially examine “phreedm”’s “justification”.
Why?
Well, it makes no sense,
and that which
makes no sense is called, what?
Say it with me: Nonsense!
Halle-F’in-loogie.
His claim seems to be, that as an atheist you have no claim to
truth, whatever THAT beast might be, and it’s best left to ye followers of Death an Destruction Of Ye Human Race.
His faith does indeed have many adherents:
Various offshoots of Christians, Moslems, Jews, Hindus
and even, loath to admit it though I am, atheists.
It is the central belief amongst most religions that DOES WHO ARE INFIDELS MUST SUFFER FOR ETERNITY!
Okaaaaaaaaay…
Here’s my question:
How do I choose, then?
All the scriptures of all the religions are pretty much said to be infallible, yet they all contradict each other.
WHAT?!?
“Infallible” proof that can be interpreted in different ways?
Not possible.
It either IS or it ISN’T.
Bleh…
Let me see your sorry ass in a foxhold. you’d never survive. you don’t even know what a foxhole is.
And newdow, he can go jump his faggot ass off a bridge. Take in God We Trust off our bills? Fuck him.
Wow!
A new genius has arrived!
Show your true colors, J.C.!

Isn’t it funny how these morons always profess a deep belief in God
yet spew nothing but hatred?
God is good?
I don’t know, haven’t met him.
But most of his followers are utterly useless.
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
OH YEAH, good one dear monkey!
Karen, my dear, you’d better watch the amount o’ adoration ye heap upon me… I’ll just travel state-side and lick thy feet!
Hey jesuschrist,
I recently retired from 21 years of Army Active duty…..spent 7 years with 10th Mountain to name 1 division…what got me through my foxhole expierences was someone I could trust besides me..a physical being….our mutual respect is what I relied upon….and when my ass needed help…I would hope you would demonstrate a physical action as opposed whipping out your fairytale book and praying for my bullet riddled butt….I must disclose however my expierences were limited….but thats what it would be like…yah
hairless
I wouldn’t let you lick my feet. I live with 5 cats and a dog, and go barefoot most of the time. It would be a serious mistake!
And if you come stateside, save it for our “blog in-over-out” whatever we’re calling it!
That’s really awesome of all of you to do something like that, to honor the vetrans who served for our country and do it in a secular manner.
On an angrier note, American Taliban member Janet Parshall decided to bash us on her radio show back when. Take a listen if you want to hear all the woman’s ridiculous rantings (note: requires realtime player): http://wabs.wava.com/ram/jpa/jpa20051111-2.ram . They always have to ruin our fun…. Sheesh.
