Sorry, I meant to say "bop", "bop-em-on-the-head"

I think she attends a Fundamentalist Baptist Church right now, but I'm not really sure.  All I know is that they do these "healing services" where they smack people on the head, "speak in tongues" and people fall on the floor twitching. 

Now, personally, I do believe in the healing power of faith, but I don't believe that it quite happens that way.  I think those churches simply do it for the spectacle. 



But do they toss snakes?

In one of my religion classes in college we watched a documentary where they spoke in tongues AND tossed snakes. I felt bad for the snakes. One guy got bit. It was not the first time that it had happened. Unfortunately the documentary did not tell us how he fared.

You're right, I just did. That is one statement vs. hundreds of insults from atheists. At some point, standing up and saying enough is enough doesn't compare to your irrational need to refer to people who have faith as delusional.

Apparently, you don't realize how much it makes you look like an ass.


I don't recall doing that, but since you brought it up:

1. an act or instance of deluding.

2. the state of being deluded.

3. a false belief or opinion: delusions of grandeur.

4. Psychiatry . a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact: a paranoid delusion.

Like I said, nobody knows shit however hard you play pretend, so believe whatever you want, it seems to me you have a thing about atheists - so... people fighting over religious beliefs, what the fuck else is new.

Seriously, is this whole schtick your example of the enlightenment your religion has afforded you? 'Cause to me it looks a whole lot like puerile, petulant sniping - do you think that's a selling point?




xxblushesxx -> RE: differences in religion/beliefs? (9/22/2011 8:23:47 PM)

Do you find it ok to call people delusional when you admit that as far as you're concerned "nobody knows shit" (I'm assuming you're including atheists in there) I find it rather ironic.

I think its a lot easier today to have it work then say .... Tudor England, where if you hooked up with someone of the wrong religion you could be burned as a heretic.

Heard that stuff like that was really frowned on.

I myself believe that "God is an imaginary friend for grown-ups" and that organized religion is a support group for those that can't get through life without one. I also don't begrudge them their beliefs and do not push mine off on others as I expect them to not try and get me to see their imaginary friend.

I don't think there would or should be a problem as long as the couple respects each other, and let the fact be known that each have their own beliefs and not try to push them on the other. I do not see it much different than respecting of hard limits, there are just some places you do not pass go and do not collect your $200 dollars.

Like I said, nobody knows shit

Well, let's see what we've got here...

Nobody knows shit. But you claim to know that nobody knows shit.

> If it is true that "nobody knows shit," then your claim to knowing that is delusional.
> If it is not true that "nobody knows shit," then claiming "nobody knows shit" is delusional.

Like I said, you're just making up senseless crap to suit your views.
