Wow! A full frontal melt-down. Who could have seen that coming?

 

[The Atheist]

Well, we have a tie in the posters in this thread alone! ....... And frankly, the posts Tricky/Huntster/T.A. were more interesting than the mindless ranting. (I was just reading along innocently and then this train wreck came along, officer, I swear!)

And it wasn't even my train wreck!

Tie, what tie? Never wear one. Suit & T-shirt, me.

Sounds good to me. Fill up on beer, then finish it off with an early morning helping of cholesterol.

You know that beer negates the cholesterol? It's perfectly ok to have large bacon & eggs for breakfast as long as you've had six or more beers the night before. Surgeon General said that in 2001, I believe.

 

[The Atheist]

It's a dangerous thing for a pugilistic person of faith to come to a forum like this, so full of anti-religious people who like to taunt and post irreverent things like this. It can be even more infuriating when others defend such outrages.

It shouldn't be surprising to see tempers flare.

That's irreverent alright!

I find it a little odd that so many christians are so furious below the thin veneer of respectability and love of Jesus. Always amuses me that every boxer, barring Lennox Lewis, is soooo religious.

I'm in parkas this time of year.

Yeah, I've heard that from some sources that I fully believe.

Yeah, and if you plan on eating two large bacon & egg breakfasts the next morning, you can go beyond 6 or more beers to more and more beer.

My veneer of respectability is really thin, but my love of Christ is immense.

Many hazardous occupations tend to attract spirituality. Like the old saying goes, "there are few atheists in warzone foxholes."

Sausages ok with that?

It might require more beer the evening before in order to achieve balance, but other than that, absolutely!

I'm spoiled in that regard, as I've got lots of caribou breakfast sausage in the freezer.

MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Sorry, I wasn't referring to you, I don't see even a veneer of respectability!

Seriously though, don't you find it odd that a supposed christian, even drunk out of his brain, would offer a wrestling ring as a means of conversion. (Boxing, count me in.)

Don't get me started on that old chestnut!

I get your point about the hazards of boxing, but I don't believe any professional boxer is actually smart enough to understand those hazards - apart from Lewis, but he was able to remove the hazards by being too big and too smart. I find the appeals to various gods to assist the boxer to beat another guy senseless just a little ironic - unless, of course, it's a muslim vs a christian, in which case, it's entirely appropriate!

Come and persecute me a--hole tell me to my face that I dont have the right to make my local school board teach Creation!

You don't have the right to force your local school board to teach creationism. Creationism is nothing more than a 'just so' story, it entertains the kiddies but there is no evidence for it.

Freedom from persecution.

What would you call forcing others to follow your religion? Persecution ring any bells?

You dont have the balls. For good reason.

No, I don't have the time or excess cash, and it's f-ing cold up there.

I'll tell you to f off and you will. and then where is your god?!!

Same place gods have always been, in the minds of the believers.

Are you proud to have enabled the murder of untold numbers of 8-9 month old children?

If they are 8-9 months old, then why do you wait 12 more months after birth to celebrate their one year birthday?

Life is SACRED yours mine everybody's.

Nice sentiment,however you don't seem to be following it.

It worked in Germany! Hell we can use their old manuals!! It will be easy!!!

That was religion not science. Hitler the 20th centruries most famous Roman Catholic.

My Bible teaches me that every living thing is a SOUL, even a blade of grass.

What bible would that be specifically. Chapter and verse please.

In the luxury delivered you by fighting Christians you mock the values of your fathers.

The founding fathers of the USA were not predominiately christian, they were deists. Big difference.

That is just so much BS.

If heaven is so good, then why do so many religious pray not to die?

It's only there when arm and arm with Mrs. Huntster, with my tyranical daughters, or when employed. Otherwise, I'm in my soiled overalls with revolver in my pocket, cussing, spitting, farting, reeking of Foster's, and looking for moose or caribou to shoot.

Seriously though, don't you find it odd that a supposed christian, even drunk out of his brain, would offer a wrestling ring as a means of conversion. (Boxing, count me in.)

Not at all. I've done that exact thing, completely sober and at work (at work, we had access to a boxing ring, complete with free referees).

Whoa, there........ Like I wrote, it's just "an old saying."

Maybe. There's also the consideration of being punch-drunk.

I find the appeals to various gods to assist the boxer to beat another guy senseless just a little ironic - unless, of course, it's a muslim vs a christian, in which case, it's entirely appropriate!

Many like to point out the violence in the Bible as some sort of misnomer, or something. I find such ideological maneuvers amuzing.

They're just a bunch of wussies.

Physical fighting (even to the death) is a fact of life on Earth, even among species, and even for humans who should know better.

 

[Huntster]

Fear.

A lack of faith inspired by fear.

The Godly are as much human as everybody else.

 

[Roadtoad]

Wow. I bowed out here simply because there were others saying what I felt so much more succinctly and accurately than I could. Then I log in today, and CM does a Three Mile Island/Chernobyl on us. If it weren't for previous posts, I would have sworn this was some sort of joke.

At MalWart today, there was a group passing out "million dollar bills," the type highly religious types like Kurious Kathy like to sling around. I simply told them I was a Skeptic. Lots of condescending "Well, if you're really looking for the truth, you'll find it." The sort of group that CM would feel comfortable with, yet which now drives me right to the edge.

Jesus loves you. Of course, it's questionable if there's a Jesus to love you. So the value in the first sentence in this paragraph is now up for grabs.

Fowlsound, where are you, Bro, right when we need you?

I read this, and think to myself, "I'll bet if we met face to face, I'd like this guy."

Roosting, producing manure, and laying eggs.

You like Foster's and a good BS session? If so, you'd like hanging around here.

Welcome back to the fray!

Don't tell that kind of stuff to Huntster, he's just more devious than CanadianMalcontent. He's trying to lure us all into a false sense of security and get us out into the wilderness of Alaska so he can drive off and leave us there, cackling madly as he spurs his Model T into 4th gear...

Man, you would be so at home on the West Coast, South Island, of NZ!

Not at all. I've done that exact thing, completely sober and at work (at work, we had access to a boxing ring, complete with free referees).

Sounds like my dream job!

Haha, gotcha! Another old saying: "no fool like an old fool!"

Not an opinion I hear expressed too widely around the bible colleges! But then, I'd always rely on you to be different. Thank god for that!

We could get one of those celebrity fight nights going - Christians vs Lions, maybe...
