Spendi should ask himself why he posts so often on a thread about the experience of being an atheist in largely religious societies. Couldn't he be clueless in some other thread where he might actually have experience? Anus too.


I am an atheist you silly moo. And I'm sick and tired of all you half-baked and wishy-washy poseurs giving atheism a bad name which you can't help doing because the only reason you are pretending to be atheists is to express your hatred of established institutions and authority and to get your toys put back in your silly, nappy-full stinking, playpens. You ain't atheists at all. You are just pissed off people who can't hack the mess you have made of your ambitions and need somebody to scream and shout at to distract you and Christians are the easiest and most available targets for your bullying.

I am sick and tired of phoney evolutionists as well. They have no understanding of evolution or of science.

My experience as a real atheist has led me to think that I should keep my gob shut about it because if atheism is successfully promoted, which you silly fuckers haven't a hope in hell of doing whilever you have a hole in your arses, the Stock Exchanges of the world would plummet to zero and you would all have to grub up nuts to fill your fat bellies.

You are trying to sell rust in a steel fabrication plant. Christianity works and is the only hope the world has ever had to offer its unfortunate residents. What I think is nothing, zero, zilch, **** all, by the side of that stark, staring fact. You are like spoiled infants.

Get real-- read some de Sade and find out about atheism. It's a ******* hopeless philosophy and always has been, is, and always will be. It's a suicide mission and the only reason it isn't obvious to you all is that you are parading it in a Christian society and are thus completely ineffective except as a vehicle for self-justifications of one sort or another but usually all associated with cheap and easy sexual gratification of the type approved by your local neurotic Agony Aunt.

You're like those Aussie cricketers who think them winning is more important than the game itself. You read too much journalism and have come to be like journalists who fondly imagine that having an 'ology major has clued them up as to how the world works and how it ought to do. And from your language expression it is quite obvious that any 'ologies you have majors in were fiddled for the sole benefit of those who handed them out.

A little humility would be in order considering that you are faced with multiple layers of concatenations of complex forces that you have no clue about. That's what my experience of atheism soon taught me.

Do you really think that the Pope and the Cardinals think of God as you like to pretend that Christians do? Really? I cannot believe that any half-way educated person would think that the King James Bible is not the most beautiful book the world has ever seen or will ever see. And you lot want it pulped.

When you say that Christianity works are you referring to the teachings of Jesus or are you referring to the the modern day teachings of the church? The reason that I ask is because I think that there may be huge differences between the two!

Do you think that you might be thumping the king James version just a little to hard? I am surprised that you have not thumped a hole right threw it yet!
Does it have to be the king James bible?
I kind of like reading all the books and that includes the forgotten books as well!

There is only one difference between the two and it is that Jesus was not trying to get a show on the road. He was the road. His Kingdom was not of this world. He compared this world to a flash of lightning not having the mathematics to compare it to an infinitessimal period of time. Why do you think they offed Him in the time-honoured manner? The Old Testament prophets were just like our Amnesty International and the Save the Earthers.

It's hard to explain the Jesus story to anybody who has any fixed ideas in their heads. He must have had that wild, mad glint in his eyes that I learned years ago to avoid getting into conversations with in the pub. Maybe he could turn it on and off like Vincent Price could. Or Peter Lorre. We have one. He doesn't come in so often these days. When he's had about 7 or 8 pints he gets rambling and anybody taking it down in writing can make anything of it they want. He once started waving his arm in a long sweep to accompany some theory about the left-hand side of the universe.

Whether the stories are true or not is beside the point. His fame certainly spread far and wide and may it ever continue to do so. You know you are talking to a thicko when it is explained to you that He never existed.

The teachings of the Church are road maintenance which,of course, includes having an efficient maintenance department which is a necessity when the traffic is so heavy and so recalcitrantly awkward that only the most dedicated men can face up to it. It even contains traffic which enjoys the thrill of narcissistic pessimism neatly conjoined with scientific rigour by embracing the "red in tooth and claw" idea whilst sitting comfortably on a chintz-patterned sofa watching the Discovery Channel in high definition whilst chomping through a bag of nibbles and putting the empty bag in the garbage for it to be taken away and hidden from view.

Spendius If you were born in a Muslim country raised by Islamic people you would neurologically be the same as you are today but you would be talking about the Koran and how it is the greatest book to ever exist!

Would that not be the only logical choice considering how your brain works?

This is similar to how you would see the world, "much like your ancestors but the only difference is that your christian views have evolved somewhat!

@reasoning logic,
I didn't say the "greatest book" rl. Although the Bible is that too.

What do I know about the Koran? Or you for that matter. When I use words like those I am conscious of being subjective. Do you think I have a choice?

I have very little idea how my brain works. Tell me how it does.

You know that it is not the king James bible so I would think that it would also be safe to say that you do not think of it as the most beautiful nor the greatest book in the world!

I have very little knowledge in this area but I can ask questions about it and maybe you can tell me how your brain works!

If you were born in a different society where everyone thought that the earth was the center of the universe, the earth was flat and that the sun was god would it be psychological for you to {believe} some of these same thoughts yourself?

True. I express my annoyance once in a while, but still check in from time to time. But - some posters whose views and quotidian dealing as atheists I am interested in are apparently deterred by the flood.

@ossobuco,
Maybe if you showed a more frequent effort to post on this thread they would as well.
Another cool feature that this site offers is a tool to clean up unwanted replies that people maybe tired of seeing, It is called the ignore user tab if I am not mistaken, it will hide all replies from any users that you do not want to see!
I will say that it may not leave much to read on this sight for some!

The key words there being "I am interested in". It means that osso is only interested in those views she is interested in. Those she already agrees with I should think. The usual is what "quotidian" means.

@reasoning logic,
Hey, years of having the thread be subsumed makes some of us not want to check in, for good reason. The atheists I know are not very interested in arguing religion, contrary to public opinion and the swallowers who land on the thread. Many of us know religion intimately, some exceptionally versed should they ever want to argue. Others never believed even as children.

You tell me there is an ignore function? I use it occasionally, when I am most irritated, as a rest, but mostly not. Your instruction is amusing.
I have posted on this thread, and my posts have been blanketed multiply by the distractors extraordinaire.

"Maybe if you showed a more frequent effort to post on this thread they would as well."
That's cute. Read the thread from the beginning, kumquat.

I did read it at the beginning but I will be honest, "I did not read for long!

When you come into a thread that has hundreds or thousands of replies do you start at the beginning and work your way to the end? If so I find no problem with that, "It just is not me!

@ossobuco,
With this thread being titled {Atheism} would you expect any thing less than what you have seen?

Just trying to be helpful in a nice way but I wonder what would happen if a thread was titled atheists not interested in arguing religion.

If you do not start one I will just to see how it will take off!
