Hope you don't get old, for they will put you down.

As much as you hate to admit it, Christianity is the reason you can spout off without someone closing your mouth for you. Enjoy!
Yeah, none of that makes sense or is true. I can see why you used your alter ego to post it.

Actually religions tend to flourish in relatively crappy environments
Such as South America and the Middle East
Places where humans suffer great injustices and the quality of life is bad for the lower class
THIS is where Religion grows the strongest
and for obvious reasons

Religion tends to fade away in areas of greater freedom and enlightenment

Another bologna fact. Damn man, you are on fire tonight. Of course I have already told you that your Christian Assault Plan is very tight.

Fucking alter ego! Having probs with tap a talk. Seagriz here, and your statement is ignorant. I can't even begin to list those that agree that Christianity is the reason for equality.

Enjoy spouting off.
Oh yeah, Christianity has such a LONG history of tolerance and equality! :rofl:

Just shows how you are either trolling, or ignorant. Where did equality come from?

You should thank Christianity everyday for bringing equality of person to the World.

Without Christianity, half you pussies would have been killed for being inferior. Just saying.
So am I hearing you correctly that human morality derives from Christianity?

No, equality of humans. Woman are equal to men. Blacks are equal to Whites.

No alter ego. Tapatalk again putting an incorrect name on my post.
So you're saying that Jesus was the first human to make that observation?
or you're saying that Christianity (Catholic Church) was the first to make good on that observation..?
Or Other?

Examples? Read ANY religion thread on this board. The insults, mocking, bullying is over the top. And it's not just here. On just about ANY social media platform it's open season on Christians. Watch the news. Read about what's going on in the ME with Christians. Singled out and beheaded. Shot. Eviscerated. Burned alive. Seriously, you take your life in your hands in about 80% of the world identifying as Christian.
And have we forgotten that a pastor from Boise has been in the worst jail in Iran for the last two years being tortured just about every day, and the current administration hasn't done much of anything about it?
You're as big a drama queen as Z and JSO... :lol:

Maybe they're giving the preacher the ol' Abu Ghraib treatment with the dogs? Maybe he should try to peddle his superstitious nonsense somewhere else. :coffee:

I don't deny that I think Christianity is pretty silly but to be fair I feel the same about all religions. I'm an equal opportunity basher.

Aren't you always preaching about having a thick skin? I don't think countering SG's nonsensical spinning of Christianity with facts constitutes bullying. Toughen up, buttercup. :coffee:

Challenging your thoughts or beliefs or SeaGriz's, or anyone's is not necessarily what a normal dude on this board would consider mocking and bullying. Quit being a bitch.

I know both you and SeaGriz personally and it honestly blows me away that two guys I consider real smart can buy into ghosts, fairies, and whatever else you want to pretend is out there. You are both fantastic peops though so I can abide if it's what you need..but you're gonna get busted on for the bullshit if it's all the same.

I mean seriously that story makes sense to you? I think I was maybe 10 when I said to myself "This is total bullshit!". You deserve the same sort of mocking that conspiracy nuts do. :D

You got me all wrong, sonny. I never said I identified as such (although full disclosure--I was raised a Catholic). I just think all the hatred, vitriol and bashing that is directed towards those who DO is misguided. Really don't understand why it's important to ANYONE what someone ELSE believes...

I can see that. I don't know that it is important to most of us what others believe unless they are making decisions that affect others based on it. But nothing is in a vacuum so it's gonna happen either way. When someone tells me what they believe and that I should join them is where I (like you) start to wonder why some asshole thinks I need their fairytale in my life.

Now in a situation like this where people want to specifically get together and discuss the merits, lampoon, or anything else then I guess we're all guilty of wanting some of this.

AZ will tell you (with a straight face)
Its perfectly cool to call somebody an idiot for being a Liberal
and then two threads over start crying foul
when somebody mentions the absurdity of certain religious beliefs

What I am saying, is that Christianity says we are all created under God, and thus, we are all equal. It was Christianity that paved the way for the equal treatment of all human beings.

I know what you are saying, but don't believe you are correct. I get the fact that men are the dominant force in the ancient scriptures, and thus religions (Islam!), but that is not what is preached in mainstream Christianity. Good thought, but off on a bunny trail.

By the way, I am completely cool with bashing. Why do you think I pick the topics I do? Because it is a fun challenge to try and get people to see it my way. On this board, it only works about 1 in 300 tries, but it is still fun.
