Really? Wow! Sure, I?ve been stern with her on occassion, but not “nice?”?as in rude, or insulting? Could you please point out where I haven?t been “nice” to her?
KnowledgeIsPower:
So, is that how you normally react to anyone who has a difference of opinion with you?
But I didn?t hold a gun to your head to make you react to my posts?
Due to what?
So, is that how you normally react to anyone who has a difference of opinion with you?
When the opinion involves unsubstantiated claims and asking loaded questions… Yep.
But I didn?t hold a gun to your head to make you react to my posts?
Which is why I have since decided that there’s really no reason to respond to you. I just thought you’d like an explanation and an apology.
Due to what?
A subsequent indifference to your presence.
Thanks for the invitation. It feels good to vent, now and then.
Hey, you gotta’ give me credit. At least I have gotten back to addressing you by your name and not Billy Goats Gruff. Besides, I don’t want to kill the messenger. I don’t want to kill anyone! I will continue to ignore the message, though. It is hard to ignore a broken record, but with a little effort….

Why would I consciously acknowledge something I don’t consciously accept in the first place? No, I don’t remember what R4D said about cognitive dissonance. Teflon memory. I’d have to find it and reread it. But thanks for reminding me of him. I miss him. Yes, you would share phreedm’s hysterical view on abortion. You just haven’t, that I recall, shared any graphic photos or videos for our perusal.
They would only be articles of faith if there was no evidence at all.
Yes and no. Christianity is entirely an article of faith. There is no evidence to support it.
Children.
Or does the maxim go, the LESS mature your faith is, the better behaved you are. ?
I was being sarcastic about the not perfect/forgiven thing. I think that’s such a crock; a get out of jail free card for hypocrites. I don’t know what you’re referring to about years ago. With my memory problems you’re going to have to be more specific.
What, do I need to have my son send you an email when I kick the bucket?
“jcc, Mom died, still an atheist. She donated her body to science.”
jcc,
“stern with her”, you fucking dick! Who do you think you are, god ass?
I would answer your question but…
1. You didn’t answer mine to you.
2. People answer your “questions”, which you don’t ask with sincerity but with malice all the time. You simply ignore them.
3. Go back though your comments and think about them as if you were an Atheist (if you can, which I doubt, I think you LACK that ability). Pick out the ones you might think are rude and/or insulting. If you do that then I might respond in a less than hostile manner.
You fucking jackass!
Now are you insulted by my tone? Well, guess what, your ‘I’ve got God on my side’ tone is insulting too.
However, the words that offend you are not usually that offensive to atheist because they know they are just words. But, I will admit they can be offensive within a civil conversation between people that are not well acquainted. However, you and your kind don’t need to get your pampers in a twist about it either.
You also must get it through your thick head that evolution happened and is happening, to not accept that is a BIG minus for you. Now, you can possibly attribute that to your god-idea, however, if you do that you would have to admit that your god-idea is either very deceptive or a complete imbecile. Why? (you might ask) Because, if you study evolution you will find that it is simply too convoluted to have any intelligence involved. That is why those that use their brains a little bit but, still believe in some rendition of your god-idea said ‘wait a minute yes, evolution did happen but, goddoneit’. The problem is, and the reason intelligent design has fallen out of favor, it that, they then have to accept that their god-idea must be wacko.
jcc, how many innocent children have you molested, mentally and/or physically?
rna2dna:
Ok! Now it?s clear that you understand what?s going on, so? Goodbye!
karen:
No no, it?s ?consciously acknowledging something that you subconsciously accept??therein lies the ?cognitive dissonance.?
Did those pictures affect you in any way?
Which is precisely my point. How often is evolution used as the fallback reason to explain what eludes science altogether?
Have you ever considered looking into archaeological evidences for New Testament events?
I?m afraid I don?t understand. Isn?t the behavior of children directly affected by their belief in Santa Claus?
I?m still not sure I follow.
Why do you say it?s ?get out of jail free?? Who ever said that accepting God?s grace also absolves one from facing the consequences of his/her actions? That?s not being hypocritical?it?s facing reality, but also provides comfort for those who are truly repentant. What kind of comfort does atheism offer its adherents in that situation?
I was talking about your early exposure to Christianity.
No, I meant your life is far from over, and given your desire for finding the truth in life, I believe if you continue on that path, then you?ll eventually find it.
jcc,
Now lets see if we can put some of that clear understanding into practice, shall we?
You could start by answering my questions. You are getting far behind.
jcc,
jcc, you are the only one that does that. It is disingenuous for you to state that other share your problem.
Yes, it made me wonder why christians don’t support contraceptives.
Which is precisely my point. How often is evolution used as the fallback reason to explain what eludes science altogether?
Never.
Yes! There were towns and people that acted like christians act today.
Only children unfortunate enough to be raised by christians.
If you weren’t spending so much time reading fairy tales, you would have time to work on comprehension. (It really was easy to follow.)
Because decent people, that is the ones that aren’t christian, think about the consequences of their actions before they act. Christians don’t because they know they will not be punished if they sprinkle some god on their act.
The acceptance that people can change and do better if they try and are given a good environment to live in.
Same as other thinking humans, christianity is painfully unbelievable.
I’ve already found the truth in life. Do you think you will? (find the truth, as you are currently looking in the wrong place (I’m sure you know that.))
jcc
Sorry for the delayed response. Last night was Solstice, and I had a wedding to go to today. Church of God (bleah)w-a-y out in the sticks, (my friend says that’s better for catching the snakes for handling).
No no, it?s ?consciously acknowledging something that you subconsciously accept??therein lies the ?cognitive dissonance.?
I checked with my subconscious. It doesn’t accept it either.
In the same way that looking at ren’s war photos did, or looking at roadkill does. Actually, sometimes roadkill others me more, for the simple reason that so few other people give a shit about it.
Evolution is used to explain that to which evolution pertains, nothing more. It is not a magic catch-all solution, and no scientist or free-thinker that I know of pretends that it is, or tries to use it as one.
I read articles and saw the show about the archaeological search for Christ’s tomb. Nothing beyond that.
Are you really going for a case for maturity of belief in Santa?
Children don’t have a maturity of faith in god. But they behave better than adults, who presumably have more maturity of faith.
I say that because of the numerous times I’ve heard xians use the phrase, often as a substitute for an apology, and it’s very back-handed. “Oh well, you know, Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven.” And because of the way I observe xians living their lives. They don’t even try to live up to the rules set up for them. They all must feel pretty secure about facing the consequences. Of course, we all know that can be sorted oout with one big pouty, but heart-felt “I’m sowwy, God” on the death-bed, if nothing else. So basically, one can still be an ass till the last minute, and still get forgiven.
The atheist offers apologies to the person wronged, and offer to make amends. S/He can take comfort in the
fact that s/he faced up to her/his responsibilities and owned her/his actions. If the person who was wronged, offers forgiveness, great.
If not, make the best of it. What more do you want?
No, that was definitely the wrong track for me, then and now. I couldn’t do anything about it as a child; I can now.
I am not searching for “the truth” in life. I have all the truth I need. “I’m halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.” -REM
