The Religion Thread

[Mr.B]

"Mr.B's personal religion is one of bigotry, dishonesty, hypocrisy, and.... projection."
"He's not just experiencing butt-hurt over others disagreeing with his un-Christian hatred. He's experiencing more butthurt over same-sex marriage than the gays getting same-sex married."

I'm not experiencing butthurt over anything....look who's dragging this thread on and on; use some more cream.

You vying for a spot in Vrede and rstrong's dance routine?

Just not vying for a spot on yours and Homerphobe's dance routine.

But you make a nice couple.

[bannination]

"Of course not. I'm just pointing out that you don't represent Christians any more than he does."

"I've never attempted to. I represent myself and my opinions; I speak for no one else."

"Ah, so you and only you know the "true interpretation.....Isn't vanity a sin?"

You vying for a spot in Vrede and rstrong's dance routine?

Such dodge.

[Mr.B]

"You vying for a spot in Vrede and rstrong's dance routine?"

"Just not vying for a spot on yours and Homerphobe's dance routine....But you make a nice couple."

Awww...gee. That's sweet. So happy you're not trying to muscle in. Vrede would be so heartbroken if you left him.

[Mr.B]

"Such dodge."

I drive a Ford. Only to church on Sundays.

[Mr.B]

"You vying for a spot in Vrede and rstrong's dance routine?"

"Such dodge."

Three of you'un's now... you happy? (good rhythm, y'all 'parrot' each other very well ...)

[rstrong]

Whatever. That's still the standard Seth Milner / Mr.KKKB "I have no intelligent response" response.

[Mr.B]

"Whatever.That's still the standard Seth Milner / Mr.KKKB "I have no intelligent response" response."

I have to consider who I'm dealing with; you know gotta come down to your level of understanding 'and stuff'.
(Seth would be proud of me, don't 'cha think?)

[Mr.B]

Maybe you prefer the dancing troll(s)?

From wikipedia:

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time; performs an action that is contradictory to their beliefs, ideas, or values; or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas or values.[1][2]

Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance focuses on how humans strive for internal consistency. An individual who experiences inconsistency tends to become psychologically uncomfortable, and is motivated to try to reduce this dissonance, as well as actively avoid situations and information likely to increase it

Those shoes fit so well Mr. B, I bet you can't take them off. Ever.

I'm happy you like 'em; so you can keep 'em since they fit you so well. Good job!

Since my post at about 3 today, I've been doing a lot of thinking; you all are absolutely right!

Come Sunday, I'm going to stand up in church and declare that God and the Bible is a complete myth, because I have a very knowledge group of forum friends who have shown me the error of my beliefs and understanding of a complete work of fantasy we call the "Holy Bible".

Any fool should know that the most intricate and delicate parts of the human anatomy, especially the brain which has the capability of a computer if man were able to harness it's knowledge capabilities, came into existence because of microscopic life forms that crawled out of a slime pit and developed legs and arms that gave it capabilities to crawl, walk, climb, kill for food, and multiply by an unseen force called evolution. I'll tell them that this creation stuff is pure bunk!

Any fool should know that the protective layers around the earth that protect life on earth from the deadly radiation from the sun came about by this same evolutionary process which mysteriously formed the exact mixture of elements that allows man to survive, and the water that falls from the sky for necessary nourishment and sustainment of all life comes from clouds bumping together.

If God did exist and had created mankind, he would have certainly blessed the union between two men or two women, and the words "go forth and multiply" is a man-made myth because any fool knows that a man cannot fertilize another man through his anus or mouth nor can a woman fertilize another woman through her vagina or anus by using phallus' or her oral digit. The absolute truth is, this so-called "Holy Bible" is the works of vivid imaginations because a loving God, if he/she existed would never tell his children that their 'love' life is disgusting, and he would never inspire a writer to write such.

This could go on, but I'm so happy that you folks here so lovingly convinced me that you all are so right and I am so wrong! Like Banni and any good Jehovah's Witness knows, "the truth will set you free!" .. I can't wait to get to church; I'll show the rest where they're wrong and then we will feel much more aligned with society when we begin to learn new vocabularies, call others hateful and vulgar names, and spew curse words with every sentence .. yep, we gonna have fun mingling with the rest of all y'all...!

NOT.

Maybe some other congregation members will remind you that you believe you come from dirt anyway.

Any fool should know that the protective layers around the earth that protect life on earth from the deadly radiation from the sun came about by this same evolutionary process which mysteriously formed the exact mixture of elements that allows man to survive, and the water that falls from the sky for necessary nourishment and sustainment of all life comes from clouds bumping together.

That's not evolution. That's entropy -- try not to look stupid. It's certainly not an exact mixture or finely tuned, but it's within a range where life is possible. Intelligent life hasn't and isn't possible in a lot of places on the earth. Most of the time earth has been around has be inhospitable to all life. Who knows though, you may take the stance that the earth is only 6000 years old, but since you only believe parts of the bible you want to believe, who knows! Water falls from the sky due to the water cycle, not because clouds bump together. I guess that's not the strangest of your beliefs though. You're idea makes me wonder why other planets have clouds too though, that's weird if they're just here for life on earth.

If God did exist and had created mankind, he would have certainly blessed the union between two men or two women, and the words "go forth and multiply" is a man-made myth because any fool knows that a man cannot fertilize another man through his anus or mouth nor can a woman fertilize another woman through her vagina or anus by using phallus' or her oral digit.

I know right, god even made gay animals, wtf god. Even things that have sex with themselves and reproduce.

Less aligned with society -- not being a Christian is putting a target on yourself here in the good old U.S.A and especially here in the bible belt. You will get called vulgar names, told you're going to hell and tortured forever, and be threatened here while still alive because for some reason they don't trust their god to do "his" own punishments.

NOT.

rstrong is right, mostly straw man arguments, and non-sequiturs.

EVERYTHING on this earth did originally come from dirt; where do you think it/we originally originated from? Even if life formed from a slime ball, did it fall from a tree..? (Opps...wait..!) If all life on this earth were to suddenly die off, EVERYTHING on earth would eventually be reclaimed; even the tallest buildings. I don't believe that EVERYTHING came from, nor will return to alien hands...do you?

You had no brilliant explanation about the complicated human/animal body?

But..but..but..if the earth evolved on it's very, very own .... what sky did that 'entropy' drop from? (try not to look too stupid)

"Intelligent life hasn't and isn't possible in a lot of places on the earth."
Like in this forum...?

"Most of the time earth has been around has be inhospitable to all life. Who knows though, you may take the stance that the earth is only 6000 years old, but since you only believe parts of the Bible you want to believe, who knows!"
Not hardly. I believe all of it; don't understand it all, but I believe it. Just because I DON"T like some parts of the Bible, unlike the immorality lovers, I don't dismiss it as 'cherry-picked' because I want it to support and approve of what I like.

I'm used to it, I don't worry about it. My level of intelligence tells me I don't have to use vulgar, hateful language in everyday conversation. People who do so are only showing their mentality capabilities.

First you claim we didn't come from a slime pit, then I remind you that you claim you come from dirt, then you're ok with coming from dirt/slime pits.

Make up your mind man.... make up your mind.

[Vrede too]

... You had no brilliant explanation about the complicated human/animal body?

Every competent scientist does, moron - natural selection and hundreds of millions of year. Your voluntary ignorance is not our problem, but it is our entertainment.

But..but..but..if the earth evolved on it's very, very own .... what sky did that 'entropy' drop from? (try not to look too stupid)

Big Bang, moron. The only case you can make that we can't disprove is that God created the conditions that led to the Big Bang, entropy and natural evolution. In fact, your goofy denial of this is clearly just your lack of faith in your God's abilities. I won't ask you to try not to look too stupid in reply, you don't have it in you.

Not hardly. I believe all of it; don't understand it all, but I believe it. Just because I DON"T like some parts of the Bible, unlike the immorality lovers, I don't dismiss it as 'cherry-picked' because I want it to support and approve of what I like.

Ummm, that is your cherry-picking, moron. You support and approve of what supports your bigotry and blow off things from the same books that doesn't, routinely committing those biblical sins yourself.

If God did exist and had created mankind, he would have certainly blessed the union between two men or two women, and the words "go forth and multiply" is a man-made myth because any fool knows that a man cannot fertilize another man through his anus or mouth nor can a woman fertilize another woman through her vagina or anus by using phallus' or her oral digit.

Mr.B is admitting that the only sex he's ever had is for the purpose of procreation and he sees no point to it otherwise. That's tragic, and it shows utter disdain for every sexual partner he's ever had.

In fact, not that facts ever sink in with him, we are a communal species. Not every member has to procreate for the species to thrive, as is true with other species. It's thought that gay tendencies improve intraspecies cooperation. Plus, we've now come to the point that the breeders are the greatest threat to species survival, so his entire argument falls apart.

I know right, god even made gay animals, wtf god.

Your goddidit, Satan. It's called the results of sin.

Satan cares about animal sexuality??? Wow, the idiotic lengths you'll go to in order to rationalize your pathetic bigotry are impressive!!!

... My level of intelligence

Objection! Not in evidence!

tells me I don't have to use vulgar, hateful language in everyday conversation. People who do so are only showing their mentality capabilities.

You routinely post your hateful bigotry and vulgar pictures about your testicle obsession, thus demonstrating your whiny hypocrisy and, by your own definition, your limited "mentality (ironic sic)" capabilities.

... your mind.

I didn't say we didn't come from a slime pit, that's the evolutionists claim. Comprehend much?
