No one is told to bow their heads. The people who are praying may be bowing their heads and most have their eyes closed and cannot see anyone who chooses to not participate.
As for the billboard, I can only assume it is just a matter of time till I get a knock on my door from a proseltizing...
I have to leave for a while, I actually have something fun to do IRL. Before I leave, let me expand this premise that anti-theists are the newest religion. Science is their religious dogma. The thing is they refuse to admit that all things are not explained completely or verified so there is an...
I feel you pain Jay. If you point out the obvious, they deflect to something the other side does like two wrongs cancel each other out or something. :facepalm:
No responsibility taken here. It is good that you mention the Atheist advertisements though. Another example of their quacking like a...
Of course you are, you're making it personal once again. I never accused you of being dishonest, I said your debate tactics were dishonest. You ran Levite off because you did not debate him on what he said and he made plenty of posts further explaining his position which you twisted into...
LOL when you build your Atheist Church you should elect him as your Pope.
He is no different than an Ann Coulter or a Rush Limbaugh IMO. Making money fanning the flames of the opposition. Stilted commentary with a dash of condescension is the basic recipe employed. :yes:
I think Levite did a fine job of shining the light on your misrepresentations of his position. I suggest you go back and read what is painfully obvious. :yes:
Why no, you just insulted a very open minded religious leader in this thread putting words into his mouth and debated him dishonestly.
Demonise the opponent till you're the last man standing right? If I am quacking loudly it is because I am outnumbered because my side of the debate left in...
No offense but many of you all might as well just go ahead and build a church. For those of you who do not see your religious bigotry, please allow me to enlighten you. If any of your comments are addressed to a whole religion or group of people instead of just the offending parties that you...
I thank you for this post. People here in the States who live in "poverty" have a greater lifestyle than most world wide. Just one look at the average square foot their air conditioned homes have or how many cars are in the driveway. :facepalm:
I have had some good debates and discussions with Atheists. Some have got very real and honest with me before. They are really looking forward to the day when they can futher their agenda without resistance.
Discounting opposing viewpoints or downright demonization of religion or better yet...
Oh please Phil, are you saying a pigmy has the same opportunities as a 7 foot basketball player? Some folks have an IQ lower than my dog while a Mensa student is on equal footing? If you had to guess which child did better on a science or math test and one was Asian what would be your blind...
D.S. with all due respect, most of the threads on hell fire are started by people who want us to be shown in a bad light. If you corner me, I will admit to believeing that but I would never start a thread on the subject.
My example would be all the magic underwear threads, who starts them...
Yes, it should. Are you saying children would be adversely affected by an overview of all beliefs and disbeliefs instead of pretending they don't exist? Perhaps we would have less wars if people knew a little more about Muslims for example. Schools teach tolerance for the gay lifestyle for example.
Myth? I'm not so sure. I'm in the top 5% and I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth. My creamy white skin, my height and rugged good looks enhanced my efforts, education and drive to be successful. I rose to the top Phil. I really don't believe many folks would have ever done what I did to...
I agree, the French Revolution is a much better comparison. The only valid comparison to Nazi Germany that I can see is the outright hate for the successful. I'm not so sure many folks who hated the Jews back in the day hated them for many of their successes.
