Why do religious types always drop this when they really have nothing to say? "Oh I believe in something that is so hateful and has caused many pain but why are you so angry?!!? Omg poor thing! Bless you!.".This is how I know someone isn't truly following these things with their heart. They're following it to feel superior to those who don't believe or who don't practice the way they do. I've never seen hate like religious hate.
they do this when they have nothing to say AND lack power
if this religious person had power and knew who I was and where I was, and there was a government of like-minded religious dullards, they would be more than willing to light the first twig
It's only "oh you poor thing" because my logic has over-whelmed their feeble religious brain like a tidal wave subsuming the shore and they are falling back on delusions of "i hope this person receives mercy.,.. because they are so EVIL!!!!!!!!!!! and the sky god knows all!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
it's meaningless blather that tells you nothing of the true destructive power of religious idiots
the funniest part to me is i grew up in a 'new age' 'way of living' ("it's not a religion, it's a state of mind","it's not a church, it's a community center") i only betrayed my family by becoming a christian maybe a decade ago. i remember making the conscious decision the summer between 4th and 5th grade that i would do everything in my power to be the best human being possible, better than anyone ever was, i prayed and i told god that i wouldn't even curse, and i remember at least feeling that i had tried so hard to achieve that, and god never even made my life better, i don't even want to linger on what could have had me so desperate and questioning at that age, but i became an out and open atheist from that point, the thing is i never stopped reading, and i never stopped questioning. Philip K Dick is one of my favourite authors, especially reading Radio Free Albemuth, and more so the actual reality of his history and what the guy went through. have you ever heard of a guy Theodore Sturgeon? i would personally recommend More Than Human and Godbody. you need to understand that the very concept and idea of such a force has been going on longer than the now western Christ, and once i chose to stop fighting humanity and to worship it instead, it made living a bit easier for me and those around me, and honestly, i absolutely hate organized religion myself, but that's what makes the JC guy so cool once you get too know the history, the founding idea is v based, have you ever seen Life of Brian? there are more entertaining ways to spend your time on the internet when we'll all die in the water wars, i'm only tedtalking here since i'm 2 4lokos in, christ has more carl jung points than star trek, but they achieve the same purpose
and, uh teehee you fell for the b8, m8, u mad bro??
not entirely.
i stopped reading the first paragraph when i read "becoming a christian" and knew the rest of it would be irrelevant, illogical, and pointless.
i read the last sentence of curiosity.
the correct response to the religious is to ignore everything they say and treat their words like the illogical waste of time that they are.
such an old thread, who are you pandering to? you could just message me directly if you need someone to talk to
I am not sure. I am seeing this response but since there is no quote I don't know what I wrote.
