pajarito 0 #201 June 23, 2006 QuoteWhat about the second half ot that verse? The bit were it says "and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.". It's convenient to ignore that bit isn't it? I'm not ignoring anything. I don't get your point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, from the so-called devinely inspired scriptures the only thing I can get is that this God is an incompetant retard when it comes to PR. His biggest publication is an insult to trees.

Oh goddamn it there I go again It's interesting how even atheists when they want to express extreme anger use the Lord's name in such a way. I wonder why that is? Even when their motive isn't simply antagonism as was in your previous post. Could it be that there is in fact a sense of God in everyone and that, even with the atheist, it is a way of showing the most extreme rebellious contempt in its use in any adversely perceived situation.

Also, when you think about it, there really aren't that many non religious swear words out there. All I can think of right now that I generally use are fuck, bollocks and arse. Things that aren't serious to warrant a fuck it might get a goddamn it, hell or jesus christ.

pajarito 0 #206 June 23, 2006 QuoteForce of habit really. I agree with that. We all get numb or desensitized to such things. It gets worse with the continual demoralization of our country.

hairyjuan 0 #208 June 23, 2006 thereis no way in this entire UNIVERSE that the bible is true, histrorical, the 'divinely inspired word of god' or any thing else that brainwashed religious proselytizers claim. this is why the only thing pajarito or anyone else can is spout the rote responses that have been defeated every time they are spouted 'WHAT PROFIT HATH THAT "FABLE" OF CHRIST BROUGHT US' - Pope Leo Xwe are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively wishers never choose, choosers never wish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from your bad habit, do you ever wonder why Jesus or God is preferred by most in the context of profanity? Why not Buddha, Mohammed? Not even the worst criminals and perpetrators of genocide in our history are used in such a way. However, many take the name of the giver of life and everything we have and trash it like it was nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dolph 0 #211 June 23, 2006 Yeah and I won't click on those html attachments. Argue your own points hairyjuan At least have the courtesy to spend a little effort, instead of the bot-posting attachment. But we're at the same point we always end up at - the believers believe, the unbelievers don't. The believers are kinda miffed about the non believers mocking their faith and the non believers are pretty ed up with being told by the believers that the believers have all the answers in The Book. Kinda like the link in Pajarito's sig line - "Are you a good person?". It kinda annoys me that he judges me (using God as a proxy) and insinuates I am a bad person. That makes me prone to be harsher than usual regarding his faith. Then again, Pajarito himself is a big time sinner, no better or worse. Still, it irks me that he, and others of the Christian faith, has the nerve to call me "a bad person" based on scripture alone. If he at least knew me he could claim I was a bad person because I'm an asshole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if I lived in Iran I imagine I would regularly use phrases like 'By the beard of the Prophet' or whatever they say over there. However I live in a country which for the last 1600 years has been predominantly christian and so I learnt and use christian based swearing. It really is that simple.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Let's say you're driving down the road and a police officer pulls you over. You were driving the speed limit and don't think you've done anything wrong. Is the officer "judging" you by showing you the sign in front of the school you just passed that lists a reduced speed limit of 25mph? The officer might also show you a copy of the ordinance which states that you must slow down in that zone during school hours. Is the officer judging you by simply showing you the law?

If the sign says "slow down to 25mph if you choose, or go faster if you choose" then yes - he would be judging you by threatening to ticket you (or even pulling you over) for doing 30mph.
