I'm not dying to defend christianity or "the lack of belief" or whatever trumped up idea you have for a semblance of religion.
The two aren't even related and don't make the mistake of equating them again.
attend those schools that slavishly indoctrinate you and many more freedoms.
Because all of us were english majors?
Its funny. How can I be the "indoctrinated" one? You're defending ONE religious position, and not ALL of them. Isn't it you thats a little
limited?
Its funny how the more education you have, the more liberal you become. Maybe its the increased ability to reason on behalf of others that allows you to embrace more empathetic positions.
But again, correlation, doesn't equal causation...
They laid their beliefs on the line while being threatened, beaten, killed and disrespected all because they stood by what they believed in (how pridefully ignorant of them). Those must definitely be some bottom of the barrel ignorant humans according to your "runneth at the mouth" atheist facade. I guess it does not apply to them since their was no internet/niketalk/forum back then for them to front about their beliefs so on these grounds, you are safe homeboy.
I am safe.
I'm VERY safe.
I could go to jail in probably 20 countries right now for being a non-believer. Thats how messed up the system is.
However, I will not DIE over the fact someone wants me to temporarily say "yes, Spiderman is god"
Are you
SERIOUS?
But yeah, if you die for a religion, I'd say you died a pointless death.
And before you try to say those in the civil rights marches died because of christian beliefs, then you're wrong again. Christianity didn't grant us equal rights, understanding secular humanism did. Human rights transcends any other division by granting equal identification and protecting under the law of the land.
This tells me a few things: you are a derelict,
Where is your proof of this?
you deliberately ignore your history (since you clearly do not know where you are going),
What history?
I'm not going to take a bullet to the head because someone says I don't accept their god. Thats not how you overcome religious indoctrination. When a gun is at my head then we've gotten really far off track from the original mission.
Spiderman commends you, you do not NOT believe what you deem atheist and, you like to argue for the sake of argument.
I don't even understand what you're saying.
Carry on P.Parker. I don't want to disturb you any more. You are clearly proving that you know a whole lot of nothing!
I don't understand what you're saying.
*Insert here* "I do not live in ATL", "that's a horrible example", "those are two different types of beliefs"
Quick! Which one are you...Bill nye the science guy or P. Parker? Oh yeah, that's right...you can be anyone you want based off how secure you feel at that moment. Ok, I'm done. You can telepathically motion your cronies to chime in and help you refute.
If there was ever a poorer worded, expressed, and confusing sentiment...
I'll say it here and now. If you die
defending a religion, I think you're an utter fool.
If you wouldn't die defending Thor, Ra, Osiris, Shiva, or the Odin, then you're wasting your time dying for whatever god you THINK exists.
I can't believe you would equate the quest for HUMAN RIGHTS and autonomy to dying for mythology.
You missed the whole point. You said Civil War, not me. The whole point was to illustrate to you that what you say is your opinion/stance (since you won't call it a belief) is fraudulent. You don't really mean all this stuff you argue about every single day! Stop misusing the Ad hominem term. I can refute what you say and still call you what you are which is a clown. You spend so much time and energy in these threads trying to discredit other posters beliefs and ideologies voraciously as if you really believe in what you say but you don't and you proved it. You are a trend. You ride with whatever is convenient at the time...until it gets real.
You are worse than what you argue against. You are the problem, not them. I have read different post you have typed for long enough and it's clear as day now that you are a flip flop. At least these people who believe in God, etc etc truly stand by and believe in what they say and are willing to stand up tall and firm when it gets real just like the example I gave you above that you deemed Civil Rights.
There are plenty of people riding for their beliefs in a god who sometimes get mistreated, beat, or killed all the time. Bottom line is a belief is a belief and when you start to flip for when the situation is too real for you is when you know if it's truly a belief or a facade. An example of a belief (since you will respond by arguing like you don't understand) is when you stand up for yourself at your job to your boss when you know you were not wrong in doing what you were accused of even while someone whispers (like a lil B) "man if I was you I would just leave it alone...you know they don't like people with your skin color" and you end up getting fired for it. Who knows, you might get to sue and "live another day" as you would say but you still stood up when it got "real".
Another would be if someone raped a little girl you knew and nobody spoke on it to authorities to help the case so you stepped up and gave your side to provide justice even though you received threats that if you spoke up, you would get hurt/killed. Anything else is a facade bro.
You on the other hand....well. You want the convenience to have a forum to spew your discrediting disrespectful comments onto others about how silly their beliefs are while at the same time when you are faced with a situation that just got "real", you want to turn into a clown, Mr. Parker, a God fearing believer to save your flip flopping life! That's pathetic and weak. Why don't you stop spending so much time trying to clown other people's beliefs and just play your part, which is a lost soul who does not really "get it" but thinks he does?
What I have gathered from your responses to me in this thread is that you are that same guy who let's say is an aspiring music artist who finally meets a top level executive posing as a straight male meeting this exec in his office as the exec starts coming at you with homosexual proposals, you respond hurriedly to perform them since you know this will land you that music deal even though you presented yourself as straight. Sound familiar? Sure it does not...
to you. Point is that you want to be on these threads pretending to be about that life as if you are more educated to make better educated decisions to not follow god, religion, mythology, etc etc while simultaneously putting others down and/or belittling them but then when it gets real (in your case...off the Internet/Niketalk
), prompting you to rep what you vehemently argue against...you turn chameleon aka God fearing.
I'm through responding to you and reading through your nonsense but I do appreciate you taking the time out to reveal your true self. #Silly
The highlighted is exactly what is wrong. People shouldn't have to be enslaved to this kind of thing. We're humans and we only have this one life. Some might think there is an after-life, and maybe there is!, but we can only know, with absolute certainty, that we have THIS life. To say that you'll give up your one life for a god, an idea, an abstraction, is madness. Why is it madness? Because, and here we come full circle, there is NO evidence for there being a god. Why would ANYONE want to die for an abstract being we can not detect, whose "holy book" is full of inconsistencies and contradictions, and, in this scenario, we have a choice in the matter of dying or not.
Honestly, this is some of the worst logic I have ever read. Your entire argument against silly putty can be summed up in one sentence: "I don't respect your opinion because you are not willing to die for your beliefs." and that is the EXACT point a lot of people are trying to make in this thread. It's that kind of FANATIC thought that non-believers find so terrifying and obscene. The fact that anyone would choose DEATH over life due to faith is absolute madness. Sit back and think for a moment. What does it even mean to DIE FOR YOUR BELIEF. I know they drill that thought at church and sunday school but REALLY think about it. What does that mean? I think it's so scary that the church has convinced a population that giving up one's life, the only one we know for sure we have, is somehow "noble", "brave", or a means to validate one's faith. What do you think of those Muslims who take up the call of action and literally die for their belief? Are they "keeping it real"? Your position that dying for faith is noble is one that is misguided and foolish. Whoever in your life circle, that fed that load of crap to you, did you a disservice.
Also note that NONE of your argument has any kind of substance to it. A whole lot of conjecture and ad-hominem attacks for days. Yes, likening him to someone who would consent to gay sex because he wants to "blow up" is an ad-hominem attack. Your "what if" scenarios are ridiculous and do nothing but "attempt" (I can't in good conscience say you really put in a full effort here) to pull the argument in a different direction.
Stop with the "I'm through..." lines. Several of you have dropped that thinking you've "deaded" the conversation. You haven't. No one has. It's a poor attempt to "win" the debate when one has run out of things to argue with. If you're really done, you'd just walk away from this thread.
