stop stupid people from breeding
A good place to start...The Religiously retarted 3 years ago

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.”

Galileo Galilei

Cant we stop these religious zealots from spreading?...

Now, before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, let me please first explain my position…..I am not referring to those sorts of religious people who perhaps go to their place of worship , spend time contributing good to their communities, and basically just do their good deeds without feeling the need to judge those around them…The kind of people who just feel that living a good life is the best example to impart to the heathens…I am not referring to this type…

The kind of religious folk I am speaking of here are those that love to preach fire and brimstone, hate and intolerance….those that embody everything that I believe my god would detest.

My god you say?...yes MY GOD….not the one in the bible mind you, he is just plain scary…he wants children killed for not obeying their parents, stoned to death at that…I don’t really care much for that guy. The man made versions found in the bible, the Koran, the book of Mormon etc….he is really not my cup of tea to be perfectly honest. Where is the appeal? Perhaps he just needs a good PR person? Maybe….Perhaps if he finds a good one he can loan them to his disciple Pat Robertson, cause GOD knows, that guy is just plain freaking terrifying.

I guess this is where I am supposed to respond....

Wow…such maliciousness at my post, I am awed and oddly giddy….

Truly my intent was not to stir up the right side of the fence…Because you see, as it turns out, I sit on that side. That said, I am feeling a bit twat’ish so I do believe I shall go on….

And so, to clarify my ramblings I will say this, I preach not against religion….simply religious zealots. I find them simply not in my comfort zone, and I believe that is my prerogative if I so wish it.

I will admit, I am anti religion…this is nothing new or different. At any rate, to answer some questions posed here, I will respond simply this, I have read the bible, twice. The Koran, once, but it was the translated version, I only made it half way through in Arabic. I attempted the Book written by John Smith, but found it to be entirely to self serving and gave it up. I was raised in a devoutly Catholic home, complete with all the trappings…meaning many years of catholic school. I to this day, appreciate my upbringing and acknowledge that religion is a wonderful morally grounding foundation for children. However as happens, I grew up. Then I began to travel more, I lived abroad for almost a decade, most of this time spent in the Middle East, and I saw things, experienced things, people, and places. I walked where history took place. These experiences I believe gave me a much more open and honest view of the world. Not without flaw I am sure.

I am not atheist…I could mostly be described as a Deist, in that I believe in a divine being…I just don’t subscribe to religion. At the same time I don’t have a problem with someone believing in the bible, Koran, Book of Morman, ...or religion, Any of them. Whatever brings you peace and happiness I say. I only have a problem with those who think that their views are without flaw, that all others are wrong and would go so far as to kill or justify the killing of someone whose views differ…Those people I take issue with. You know the kind of people I speak of I am sure….The Al-Qa’ida, Hezbollah, Hamas, The IRA, Erik Rudolph …

I am sorry…I didn’t realize my “goal” “wish” “dream” that said I hoped these types of people would become extinct, was such a burden to those on this site. Sorry….I guess my abstract isn’t perceived here.

Twatever…,.I cunt here you…. ;) JK…..its been fun…lets all play again soon.

p.s. to the nurse who noted my spelling previously, lighten up bitch. I would pit my vernacular to yours any day and my spelling as well. I was drunk when I composed the post. I make no apology.

:oD

Actually… found the comment from Stephen’s list. Liked his comment and broke me own rule about avoiding tripe on this site. Oh well.

but, Hey! I am subscribed to you too, Gump! :o)~

Cool beans!

I look forward to hearing more from her! ::waves at Jenny::

...

{ahem}

::stares at Jenny’s list, waiting for something to happen::

...

Well! That was fun. ;o)

BTW, what do you normally call her??

(This comment was deleted.)

indeed

I most assuredly should lighten up. I was having a mostly horrid day and I resorted to using profanity and childish name calling and that was truly unnecessary. And for this I do apologize…

Your post was inflamatory

But I think you are aware of that. Anyway, twatever. Dont know why you have chosen Leathals to take your ire out on, since I was the one to point out your spelling of retarTed. I am feeling left out. If what she said makes her a bitch, then I gladly will join her. Anyway, you are right. Your vernacular and spelling skills are exemplary. See quote below.

“Oh and incidentally, you have no idea at all who you’re I am, where I have been, done, seen etc. Never assume to know me, and I would appreciate the absence of your judgments in the future.”

I am all for stating your opinions, God knows I state mine all the time. But just remember that when you do, you invite other people to express their opinions and judgements on what you say. You feel ok judging religion and God, I feel ok judging what you say and think.

Exeplary would be a huge stretch...and a half

We all make mistakes and I am certainly no exception and probably in reality much closer to being the rule. I do however know how to say when I am wrong and I believe I apologized for my faux pas prior to your post. So as tempted as I could be to tell you to feel free and join Leathals, I won’t.

Incidentally, didn’t you know passing judgments on others was no longer PC? ;)

Guess I better start proofing before I hit save…this is a tough room.

Oh lighten up

You did apologize, in a half-assed sort of way. Which I can actually understand, it can be difficult to have to suck it up and say sorry. Particularly when you feel forced to do so. I know I hate it. But for some odd reason you took exception to Leathals post and made a point to single her out for not getting an apology. What she said to you was hardly worth such a reaction. It is a litle curious.

Its not PC? Dangit.

(Edit: And yes, I do see that you have since apologized to Leathals.)
