Once again, I'm amazed at your lack of logic. Please go take a basic, basic class in logical thought and how to argue. One of my favorite tag lines here says "Don't come to an intellectual battle without any weapons." or words to that effect.
Its your favorite tag line and you cant remember it? Tsk tsk. Getting up there in years?

You just enjoy your bubble-bath existence and keep those rose-colored glasses firmly over your wide-open eyes.
I will, thank you very much. The alternative is to turn into someone like you and i just never see myself hating humanity that much.
quote:
Again, I get angry after making logical, appropriate comments that are answered illogically, or worse answered "Tsk, tsk," as if I'm being pushed aside as a child would be.
When you stomp your foot, pout and call other people names, you get treated how you are acting... like a child. IF you dont want to be treated like a child, then stop acting like one.

I've been a MILITANT Atheist for more than 40 years now - almost as many years as you are old. By "militant" I mean simply "out." Way back then, we atheists dare not speak our name. Oh, wait.... something about being a Militant Gay is ringing in my head. Something about the love that dare not say its name.......
Maybe, just maybe, we won't put up with your opression any more in exactly the same way that gays stood up to the oppression at the Stonewall Bar.
Drama queen much? No one here is trying to oppress you. In fact, its just the opposite. You demand everyone shut ip while you speak your words of "wisdom" then get pissy when people dont.

My stridency is NOT founded on anything but study, study, study. The first example of that is when I was singing in an Episcopal Church choir and sang through all 5 Masses of Easter. Each Mass uses a different Gospel story to tell of the Ressurection. Being bored outta my mind, I sat there and read all five Gospels in a comparitive way, flipping back and forth between them.. They are irreconciable - at the ripe age of 12, I'm thinking "If this is the Word of God, and this is the story of the most important event in Christianity, why are there so many factual differences?" Yeah, yeah, the priest gave the standard answer of "The differences in the Gospels reveal different aspects of Christ. We see this further in the four Gospel icons, chosen to show which aspect of Christ is emphasized." Head spinning, I walked away, thinking "How do different numbers of women at the grave, indicate differenet aspects of Christ?"
Yes, now we come to the part where you state emphatically how you attended church and all those mean people.....
quote:
You MUST remember this was in 1962..... before the hippie movement, sexual revolution, and spiritually being used as in "Oh, I don't agree with organized religions but I'm spirtual." Wiki tells us: Unitarian Universalism became organized as a religious group in 1961. Crystals and shakras and other Eastern philosphies and practices got a BIG boost when the Beatles got into transidental mediatation. Gee.... what year was that?
So, hundreds of years of Christian dominance in the US has only started to show signs of cracking in the last few decades. Kinda hurts to be told you're wrong doesn't it?
I suppose it might hurt if i was wrong. You tend to live ALOT in the past.
quote:
As the gays chant "We're here. We're queer. Get used to it." And you know what? After 30 years of that chant, (most) Americans are okay with gays.
So, I feel in the forefront of the Atheist movement, hence militant.
Yes, you are good at redefining terms.
Lance, i could care less what your history is with the gay movement, the atheist movement, or any other. Its how you treat people in the here and now that matters to me. So far, all you have been able to do is belittle and demean as you attempt to disrespect poster after poster.... and all your efforts are gaining you is eye rolling, head shaking and those "tsks tsks" you hate so much.
But, do have a great day!

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

You don't know what my beliefs are (or whether or not I even have any) if you don't ask me. And in this case you did ask. I may believe in a higher power, but you don't know how I interpret that or what it means to me or what my "way of life" is. So whatever you think believers are doing to you, stop asking about their beliefs....that should help.
