Militant atheists pretty much all work from the same script.
Although viewing themselves as “free thinkers”, they all have a Party
Line they follow rather closely.
It isn’t difficult to anticipate their arguments on any
given point. Most intelligent religious individuals almost always can
correctly predict what
you’ll say next.Interestingly, militant atheists get much of their
beliefs about “Christianity” from liberal Christians.
They’ll pejoratively label all Christians as “Fundies”,
then presumptively attack liberal theological concepts
they suppose us “Fundies” subscribe to !
Nearly all militant atheists are followers of the
religion of Scientism. Their priests wear white lab
coats. Their sacramental objects are the microscope,
the telescope, and the test tube. Blasphemy is to
deny the ultimate authority of science.
But the militant atheists -the ones who have devoted
their lives to refuting Christianity- are almost like the
demons …who believe more firmly in God’s existence
than do Christians !
It can unequivocally be stated that militant atheists are some
of the people who most solidly believe in God !
Ain’t talking ‘practical atheists’ here …those who don’t
even think much about atheism. They’re the true
atheists.
Professional atheists who’ve dedicated themselves
to eradicating the Lord do so because they hate Him.
They’re the God-haters.
To which they’ll invariably reply: ‘How can we hate
something we don’t believe in ?’.
Exactly ! It’s their belief in God which drives them to
relentlessly attack Him.
Run of the mill, everyday ‘practical atheists’ don’t
give God a second thought. They’re the ones
I worry about.
Whereas militant atheists are fighting against the
innate knowledge of suppressed in their hearts.
As a militant atheist I can unequivocally state that there is no time
in their lives that they
totally disbelieved in God. And -in fact- were driven to
work against the Lord by belief in Him !
It isn’t that militant atheists don’t believe God exists.
Instead: That they don’t want God to exist.
This is a piece written by paolojoejingy on Tuesday Nov 7th, probably in response to us since that E-mail to many members was issued on Nov 6th. I was just about to write back to him on his google group thread when I thought that it may be better to use a unified position to help refute his claims. There are ample examples of fallacious reasoning such as argumentum ad hominem but I am afraid that I will not represent the full range of views and issues that atheism and it’s variants entails. I would really like to see if we all really do have a “party line” in terms of our beliefs. So please comment with your response to our friend, just a focused bit on whatever aspect you think is perceived as wrong and is stereotypical. I will compile it into a unified piece (or not if you want) and present it for him and others who have issues with our present pattern of thought. Note that I will not edit any of your individual responses and will simply list who wrote the response unless it is created in bad taste and written just as an offensive attack. Attack the idea, not the person (sounds very similar to “hate the sin, not the sinner”). We can then use this piece as kinda a standardized response to many attacks on SEB and the like and not have to repeat the same lines over and over again (even thought we may love to anyway). Please I ask of your input. If none is given, I will move on my own but I thought it would be nice to cover all angles here. I am looking practically for a thesis defense here, if you know what I mean. Thank you for your time and consideration, it will not be wasted.
Good god, Don. Why don’t you go eat some turkey or something?
That’s giving yourself a little much credit, Don. I won’t miss out, and I’m sure others feel the same. What I don’t understand is why, if you feel the need to write for your own benefit, you simply don’t start your own blog using blogger or something.
There you can rant about law and whatever else you want. You might even get a crowd (although, to be honest, it’s doubtful that crowd will adore you).
Don,
As to your posting, I want to try and help you out with just one small aspect of it. Please try this when you want to quote what somebody said. Go to bottom of the page to the box where you will type in your entry. Directly above that box are several symbols beginning with [ b ]. The fourth one over is a quote button. Click it.
When you push the quote button you will see this [ quote][ /quote] Copy what you want quote from the person by going to what they typed and placing the cursor at the beginning of that section. Next, left click your mouse and highlight the section want to quote. Unclick your mouse. Review the highlighted material to make sure that is what you want to quote. Then, use your right click button. There will be options that appear; choose “copy.”
Then move your cursor in between the [ quote] [ /quote] and then right click again. Choose the paste option.
When you are finished and you hit submit, the material from whomever you are quoting will appear in a box like this:
You can then type what you want to say in response right underneath it.
Please show me that you can do this. Please. It will be one less thing that people can make fun of you about.
Among many.
Don, don’t stand by your Intellect. It’s lying to you, and I think it might have been cheating on you with a bong. If you stand by your intellect, at least have the foresight to get testing, because wherever it’s been … it just isn’t your pretty princess any longer.
Don, get a life. You have made you’re point about not liking tattoos. That someone else likes them is not you’re business. There is nothing you can do to stop a sane adult from getting one. And if that person wants to flaunt his tattoo, so be it. And again, there is nothing (legally) you can do about it. If you think you can, then show us. That is all we want. So put up or shut up.
Satisfying a desire in a free country is quite enough for some people, Don.
You may not agree with it but that’s your right, too.
I haven’t seen anyone here saying that anybody should tattoo.
But anyway, what gives you the right to say who should do what, Don?
Not one of us here is your slave or puppet.
Try taking should, ought and must from your vocabulary.
You’ll find life flows much easier when you don’t judge others.
I find it’s much less stressful if I am aware of what I’m doing in that regard.
Buddha (paraphrased): All unhappiness is caused by ignorance (of the desire for different circumstances).
Can hardly wait for that rant to come
And where did you get that authority? If someone wants a tattoo or piercing, that person is allowed to do so. Whether an enhancement or not.
Don, you said:
prior to which you also said:
Male circumcision can be done on medical grounds and it has also been shown to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer amongst the partners of circumcised men. So there you go.
Now it’s your turn. To reiterate: put up or shut up. Les has made the terms crystal clear, so stop thinking you can win an argument by using words and terminology you clearly don’t comprehend (or can even spell, in most cases). And stop endlessly repeating the same discredited arguments (“torts….torts….torts….torts” ad nauseum) – either back up your position or shut up. You’re boring me now.
He’s not boring, he’s just a dick.
A frothing, raving, twitchy dick.
There is no need to to justify body modifications; to you, or to anybody.
Strangely, Don has made a correct statement (although I don’t think that was what he meant).
Don, I’m begging you dude; just GO AWAY! You’re ruining this site. No one enjoys reading what you write. You never say anything new, you just whine and obsess and make a fool of yourself every time.
Cut your fucking losses and go away! Just disappear. Please!
Brock, I beg to differ. It’s Don’s enablers that ruin the site.
Upon reflection and reconsideration, there is something about the way Don purports himself that would prompt me to delete all of his posts, all reponses to it, and the meta-commentary about him—if this were my site, of course.
Point taken: He’s bringing the worst out in a lot of us.
All I know for certain is that it’s been an ugly experience and I enjoy SEB too much for this to be the way the place is.
DON DON DON DON DON
DO NOT POST ANYMORE UNTIL YOU HAVE MET MY CHALLENGE.
I will accept tort. My law lecturer made it quite clear what Tort is. Exactly how another mentally competent adult tattooing themselves is harming you, I’m not quite sure. But fine. If you can show BY LINKING/QUOTING A LAW OR CASE WHICH ESTABLISED A PERSON OF MAJORITY CAN BE PROSOCUTED FOR HAVING THEMSELVES TATTOOED go ahead. Until then stop proving what a poor debater you are.
You have already proven your ineptitue as a poster, despite being told how to
you continue with your bizarre script layout. You have proved your ineptitude at understanding reasoning. Your English is poor- if it is not your first language please state. You have displayed your inability to refute an arguement.
If you are unable to give a clear example of having yourself tattoed BEING ILLEGAL then
FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU WIERD FUCKING ARSEHOLE.
weird
Sorry.
I agree. And though it will take a mighty force of will in the face of such stupidity, I will not, from this point forward, be responding to any of Slappy’s posts.
I’m just sitting here amusing myself by imagining Don “taking offense” and then talking shit to one of my big, brawny, fully-inked men friends, opining that their chosen body art is ugly and/or a form of mutilation, and telling them how retarded they are. Especially satisfying in my daydream is the sound of my one friend’s ham-sized hand smacking upside Don’s befuddled brainpan; he’d not take kindly to the assertion that the portraits of family members he has had tattooed upon his body to honor their memories were an offense to, much less the concern of, some whackjob jackoff whose opinion means fuck-all to anyone but himself.
I admit it, I had a dream where Don was forcibly tattooed by roaming gangs of bikers who were his parents with swastikas and in the weird Don-Universe where he made sense he got to tell them to get off his property and a judge ordered him to pay $6 million to Hitler and ordered the offending skin flayed off and took Don’s children away from him (but it didn’t help, one look at Don’s ink and they immediately joined gangs and became crack whores and serial rapists).
Back in the real world though: Anyone else want to vote themselves up as nutjob of the week? Surely we’ve pissed off some Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons recently?
There is no god. Jesus blew all the disciples. White people suck. Your mother has a hairy behind that she shows to merchant marines.
I got stuck here.
Twitchy.
Carefull, Mook, comments like that are going to get him MORE disciples.
Or were you talking about that Jesus guy you met in a Florida jail that one time….?
You know, you’re right. As KPatrickGlover said:
Right on. I’m sick of this twat dominating and coarsening the dialog. He’s certainly brought out the worst in me. Enough.
Well, I’ve tired enough of Don. I didn’t login until just now as I spent the early morning doing Black Friday shopping and the afternoon recovering from it.
Seeing as I think Don has more than ably demonstrated what an idiot he is, a prime example being his inability to master a simple blockquote, or contain all his comments into a single entry without triple or quadruple posting, and that he can’t rise to the challenge of “put up or shut up,” then it’s time to shut him up.
Congratulations, Don, you’re the first person I’ve ever officially banned from SEB in almost 6 years who wasn’t an outright comment troll or spammer.
Well he is not a complete total idiot, but he was certainly in it for the long haul. I wanted to show him a picture of my Dick(Senor Peter)tattooed like a Barber Shop pole. I hate all that pasting and stuff. I’m sure Don will find a new home. I am going to pray for him tonight.
Dear Lord Jesus, Please kill that fucking Don so that he will stop causing so much shit on the internet. Lord, We at SEB know that we are your chosen and true children, Most if not all of us have come to hate the son of a bitch. And that’s why we ask, just this one thing. Please Lord, Kill him..Amen
So Don’s really gone? Wow…it’s going to be a lot quieter around here.
Do not vorry, my child – repair de veb – another victim vill cummmmm …
He’s gone for the moment at least. It all depends on how clever and persistent he happens to be. I’m not holding my breath worrying about that.
I picture him somewhere gently weeping for all his lost friends and comrades he made in his short stay here at SEB.
