Anyone Else Disgusted By The Cretins Who Invoke "god" To Explain Anything They Want?

...But conveniently duck behind the "free will" bullshit anytime anyone asks about why six million Jews were slaughtered by the nazi's? Or why a perfectly innocent baby is allowed to get murdered by it's drugged out/psychotic/sadistic parents?

If I hear one more brain dead turd thanking "god" for their accomplishments at an award show I think I'm going to vomit.

Perhaps the saddest part of all is that these brain, dead poor excuses of protoplasm have the right to vote.

Ughhhhhh

During the World Series of Poker broadcast on ESPN, a couple of the final conestants were thanking G-d for dealing them a winning hand. As if He has nothing better to do :girl_hug:

OK, I believe very strongly and I don't enjoy being called names because of my beliefs.

I sincerely hope that you aren't lumping non-Christians who throw around the word God like it means nothing with true Christians who wish they'd quit acting like asses, and making it seem like they hold the same beliefs that Christians do. Because they DON'T.

And I don't appreciate being called a "brain dead poor excuse of protoplasm", either.

Enough with the name calling. Believe whatever you want, but I'm drawing the line at being called names because of my beliefs.

Tell me exactly what "god" does and what you pray for.

Then I'll decide what to call you.

[travelgirl 3]

If you want to know what God does, read the bible.

What I pray for is between me and God, and it's none of your business.

Read the bible, huh?

Just what I thought. You really are clinically retarded.

Here, check this out for a yuck or two.

Re: "You really are clinically retarded." Personal attacks are not allowed, even in RnR. I see you have fewer than 10 posts here. Perhaps you do not understand yet that we can rant and rave until we're blue in the faces, but we do so with respect for other users. Don't let it happen again, please.

Nope. I do not believe in god, nor does the fact that others do incite such hostility or anger in me. Some people need a god, others do not. I'm more about believing what I want, and letting others believe what they want, than letting the fact that someone believes differently than I do control my emotional state.

I may think it's rubbish to hear someone thanking god, or to see people going to church. I may find it frustrating to have the faith/evidence discussion during theorlogically-based debates/conversations/discussions/etc.

But it does not engender as much hostility for me.

Seriously? Do you think you can come here and insult people and personally attack people and it's going to fly?

Who's brain dead or mentally retarded here?

Thank you Wheet....nicely put. I do believe in God. I believe that he created earth and the skies. I believe he created you and I. This I believe. I do not understand the hostility towards believers as I absolutely do not feel the same about non believers. It is a free world. We have the right to choose what we believe and how we believe. Do I think my beliefs are right? Of course I do! Wouldn't that make me more of a moron to not? However I am not going to push my beliefs on you or "make" you believe what I do. What I am going to do is thank God whenever and however I feel to. Thank God it is still a free country!

So Draz, getting OH all worked up wasn't enough for you? You think coming here to insult people is a good idea? Well you are very wrong in that. We have believers, atheists and agnostics here, and for the most part everyone is very respectful of each others' beliefs. One of these days, when I have time, and if you are brave enough; let's chat offline without an audience about beliefs. I am a believer and would love to go a few rounds with you. I detest bullies, and you are the worst online bully I have seen in a long time. Sure makes me wonder who you really are.

Believe or don't believe. This is an internal choice and an inherent right for each of us. Get over yourself.

I think I love you, Chelle!

Heh. It's like the ongoing discussion about heterosexual versus gays. I am married to an gorgeous and awesome younger guy, and I adore him. Yet I go to gay rights events at work, because I am interested in everything and I have gay friends. I went to an event and one gal asked me when I came out. My response, "I'm married to a guy. Guess I just haven't met the right girl yet."

We all believe what we want to believe, or need to believe. And I had thought the OP was a female in disguise, until this post. Now I think the OP is my EX!!! Sure sounds mean enough...:wink2:

Jaymie, you'd make a quality Unitarian.

I usually am succinct on this whole subject, so I'll try to be again:

Religion is not the truth, God is. Live well, respect well, and leave this earth at least as good of a place as you entered it. Do these things and any God I'd be proud to be a part of will accept you into his good graces. If believing in one particular doctrine is the only way to enter Heaven, then I eagerly await Hell.
