I'll hear your opinions after I take a nice warm piss all over them first, because quite honestly that's really all I care about them.

So if we don't believe, we're not allowed to think about religious things or form an opinion. And you think atheists are bad. They don't loudly proclaim that they're gonna 'piss' on your opinion. This also means you don't think converting people is worth it. Good job, in one paragraph, you violated the moral basis of all christian faiths and made yourself into a tremendous ass. Congratualtions, sir, you are a bad example to christians the world over. :beer:

Yeah, that's it, because my thoughts over one issue is exactly how I go about my daily life. Who are you to judge me anyway? And just in case you didn't realize it, the pope is catholic, not christian. They haven't been the same church for, oh, a good thousand some years.

Don't be a douche...I am well aware, but I wasn't sure if you were a catholic or not, I was being courteous

And you're right, the atheists don't say they're going to piss on your opinion, they just do.

so you should do the same?

I'm basing my opinion solely on the atheists that post in AT. None of my atheist friends in real life have such disregard for other people's beliefs as any of the people here do.
There are religious a$$holes on ATOT too. An ass is an ass. Do you want to become one of them, or do you want to engage in a civil debate?

So I can't say piss and still be considered civil? I didn't personally insult you, I'm just saying your way of thinking isn't fair. But yet you're still civil, even though you called me a douche?

It's okay for atheists to be assholes and completely disregard anyone's beliefs and just flame away, but it's not okay for me to say that atheists should have no reason to even be involved in threads on such matters? If they're going to come in and say "Yeah that's too bad, hopefully it's painless" or whatever, that's one thing, but for them to come in and SCOLD people who are joking about it? I'm not saying I'm condoning the joking or anything of that sort, but if anyone should be upset about it, it should be the religious people, not the atheists/agnostics.

And as for your second comment, did I go out of my way to threadcrap or piss on any atheist who has said anything thus far? I believe I've posted in two threads, and both posts were along the same lines. Then you started this discussion and I've continued it. That's it. Had it been your typical ATOT atheist, the religious people's opinions wouldn't even be read, a flame of a reply would just be written.

BUt they do, see my above point. THe pope is still a human

people in general are uptight these days, I agree that we should be able to joke, but on the same note, don't scold atheists for joking. I call for an impartial standard

Sorry to ruin this thread guys. I'm gonna stop replying aplefka, not as an offense to you, mind you. You make a good point. We should start another thread tomorrow.

I apologize for not replying quicker, I've been reading the story of the scammer who got scammed. Pretty funny sh1t actually.

I thank you for discussing maturely, which is much more than most of this board is capable of. I just get tired of seeing some of the double standards that go by unnoticed.

Yes, I guess it's a good thing some people had a mature discussion. It's fairly refreshing to see on these boards.

The first article of the constitution ensures the freedom of speech to all Americans. It is an unalienable right, and one that has been cherished throughout this country?s history. In light of the Patriot act and the Government?s negligence of citizen?s rights, there is a fear that one day freedom of speech will be prohibited.

But now I understand that our freedom of speech won?t be taken away from us by the government. It will be taken away from us by mindless politically correct followers who can?t tolerate other?s ideas and points of view. What I am saying is that although the actual laws will still be in place to allow freedom of speech, nobody would dare say something that might offend a group lest they be chastised and shunned by a larger number of people. While this may seem unimportant in regard to a forum post, what happens when someone?s life is ruined in reality because their opinion conflicts with that of the majority? What happens when nobody does business with a man with different beliefs? What happens when he is starving and dying on the street and nobody cares because he is just another blasphemer?

I?ll tell you what happens: we all lose our right to free speech.

What a pile of horse sh!t.

While I disagree with PC mentality, you and many others like you on both sides of the political spectrum must understand one thing: Speech, no matter how free, will ALWAYS have social consequences. In fact, the more free the speech, the more likely there will be social consequences.

You see, your freedom of speech does not exist in a vacuum. Others have the SAME freedom and can choose to use it to disagree with your opinions. Hell, they may even choose to argue with you, insult you, and shun you. THAT is freedom.

How is it free if people cannot voice their opinions against you, or choose to shun you?

Your post does not show a lack of freedom. On the contrary, it shows an abundance of freedom. Only, you don't like others having the same freedom you have when they use that freedom to disagree or refuse to associate with you because you've said or done something that offends them.

Finally, in PRIVATE FORUMS, businesses and homes, owners do NOT have to let you express yourself in a way they do not agree with. THAT is their freedom to run their property as they see fit.

I'm betting they kept him alive just so he wouldn't die on April Fools day. I say he passes today sometime.

Maybe they can pull a Generalissimo Francisco Franco with him and keep him alive for another 6 months.

Maybe they can pull a Futurama with him and keep his head alive in a jar indefinitely.
 
So if I think gays are immoral and suck for pushing gay marriage in our faces and down our throat, I won't get flamed to death here? I won't get shouted down or banned if I were to start making threads? Yet how many times will religious flaming be tolerated?

It's always been this way. One day you are on the "right" side, and one day the "wrong".

I have met few people who have a truely neutral perspective on
"PC". It is their standards they wish voiced, and the "opposition" is always the oppressors.

hah!

On a related note...

I am Catholic. I believe in one God, the father.

Even if I was one person, in a room of a thousand others who believed different, I would remain the same. I wouldn't hold my tounge for you, him, her or the government. And when it comes to your beliefs, if they truely are your beliefs, then you should follow suit.
