Honestly, ask yourself, was that really necessary to throw that out there? I don't go bragging about my car and money my friend. Women ask what I do, I tell them. Women see the car I drive, it speaks for itself. Women see the clothes I wear and see the money I spend on drinking and dining with them. If they're impressed by it, fine. If they're not impressed that's fine with me too. What matters is where it leads to afterwards. Again, please stop attacking the poster and stick to the original post's topic.

If they're not impressed that's fine with me too. What matters is where it leads to afterwards. Again, please stop attacking the poster and stick to the original post's topic. Quote You are either proving the Christians right that the knowledge of God tends to instill morals in one's life, or you're giving all of those self righteous atheists a bad name. This post is black and white my friend. Why are you trying to analyze the post? You and I are not a spokesperson for Atheists. Therefore, I don't speak for all the Atheists and neither do you.What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do they want it? Every 2 weeks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I went out there for a project, (east whacker drive) I tried to find some bars and clubs to venture into. To my disappointment by the time 1:30am rolled around, everything was closing. That sucked big time. You guys definitely have some hot chicks though! Man you weren't looking right. I've been out drinking till 4 in the morning on a Wednesday.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jakee 1,596 #149 January 9, 2007 I don't think there is a single poster on this side of the debate with the sheer intractable belligerence of Chuteless. Counting numbers of those on the next level down I honestly think its honours even at this point. QuoteHe speaks highly of other atheists that have that viewpoint but tended to argue it well, rather than "preach to the choir" while patting themselves on the back, so to speak. Actually he does not speak highly of those who put forwrad their viewpoint well, but those who go out of their way to flatter the believer. Religion is no longer untouchable and thats what he's pissed off about.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

CameraNewbie 0 #137 January 9, 2007 QuoteSO, as has already been asked, WHY ARE YOU HERE? Here in SC? I went through a lot of the threads about Atheists and chrsitians beliefs. It all boiled down to Atheist don't believe god, heaven, hell exist. Therefore, it made me wonder why are they arguing about it if they're only answer was "It doesn't exist"?What do protesters want?

CameraNewbie 0 #138 January 9, 2007 QuoteI agree. But the reason most people post on DZ.com is, from my experience, pretty similar - because they have nothing better to do, and it can be fun. See Bill, now we're on the right track. That was an honest and to the point answer. Quote(Actually, let me expand this into something of a warning - I hope other people are not posting here for any other reason than to waste time and be amused!) If it's a personal attack, I can understand for the warning but is it wrong for a person to post their opinion and be amused at the same time or to kill time?What do protesters want? Dead cops!

rehmwa 2 #139 January 9, 2007 QuoteInteresting, after a full page of thinly veiled insults the author has the gall to say atheists lack charm? ... kinda - he insults contemporary atheists in that haven't fleshed out their arguments since they sat around a keg in the dorm room back in their freshman years. At least this applies in Speaker's Corner, I don't get into the debate in the real world. But, though I'm more sympathetic with non-belief than with faith based belief, I'm feel more compassion towards the believers than the non-believers (at least those I know and on this site - with a few blatant exceptions). Atheists don't debate any more, they attack and they ridicule. For every 1 "Chuteless" here we have about 10 counterparts on the other side. It's a crappy technique. And, as such, I have to wonder also, why is it such a big deal that non-belief be advocated with such blunt zealotry? He speaks highly of other atheists that have that viewpoint but tended to argue it well, rather than "preach to the choir" while patting themselves on the back, so to speak. ...

CameraNewbie 0 #140 January 9, 2007 QuoteHuh? That made no sense whatsoever. That is what Rehmwa said not I: QuoteThe simple position is a belief that there is no god - it has to be taken on faith just as religious types do. Perhaps, I may have misunderstood him. QuoteRegardless, atheism is a belief in nothing. Thank you. That's exactly what I said!What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do they want it? Every 2 weeks!
