ATHEISTS ONLY

I have to give up on this topic, you guys are making my temples throb. And Im not referring to a house of worship, smart asses.

So, like, are you an athiest? I am thinking not. I think you are trailing.
Or here to defend your friend, Frank, the most repetitive person in the entire world, realistic world or not, who has no reason for presence in this thread?

Actually, these topics wear me out. I have no earthly clue why this topic attracts Frank, but it clearly brings out the bully in him. Honestly, arguing about heavenly truth is futile. I actually don't know where I fit. I was raised Catholic, but the church has become so watered down (Im just talking music, celebration of mass, ungodly lengthy weddings) its like visiting an unfamiliar and sterile place. Ive been to other denominations, but I don't click, I just watch the clock and daydream until its over.

I suppose Im a heretic, I wonder if Jesus really wanted to establish Christianity? Suppose all he ever really wanted was to clean up his temple. AS Frank would say, you just don't know. I have difficulty identifying as religious, agnostic or atheist, but with the right people it can be a lot of fun to talk about.

Gene Weingarten (sp) writes a column for Sunday Washington Post, he has stated he is an atheist. He recalled a discussion he had with his Dad when he was a child, and asked him "where do we go when we die" his father responded with "I don't know, where were you before you were born". I loved that explanation. However, since Im a hypocrite, when people ask me to pray, I tell them I will, sometimes I actually remember to pray.

If there is a God or as yet unnamed Supreme Being, I don't think it would condemn anyone to the popular notion of hell. When I die, there will either be a place for our spirits to go, and if there isn't, I won't know because I will be dead.

Im not opposed to the notion of church, but when church goes rogue it creates manmade disasters. I chaff at the extremes, and Im grateful that I am not forced to attend. Even Superman only fought for Truth, Justice and the American Way. And I really don't fathom why some people think its important to print "In God we Trust on Money" how arrogant is that. My Uncle sends me alarmist god-grams every so often, the one he especially favors is the fight to prevent taking Gods name off of the money. I asked him if I needed to carry large sums of cash so everyone especially God knows how much I love and honor God. He doesn't send me that particular god-gram any longer. Actually, I haven't heard very much from him in some time, I think he got pissed when I told him Sarah Palin was a blissfully undereducated moron. Praise Jesus, I finally got on his ****-list.

I guess Im kind of live and let live gal when it comes to religion. I really hate to admit this, but I don't think I care enough to have a firm position.

I guess this doesn't answer your question, but its the best I can do right now.

This is an athiest thread.

I get it others want to talk.

There is no such thing as an atheist thread on A2K...at least not in the sense that non-atheists are not allowed.

This "no one but atheists" nonsense happens way too frequently.

Get over it.

Well, I'll stop yelling.

Glitter and I can talk and vice versa.


Still, this is the atheist place.

I am not an atheist...and I will have my say wherever I want in this forum...whether the atheist think they can keep me out or not.

Oh for Christs sake Frank, no one gives a crap. It doesn't make an iota of difference how much you repeat it, no one will change their mind. But, everybody has the same opportunity to repeat themselves until they are blue in the face, nothing is standing in your way. It is pointless to demand special attention, you already get all the attention any one should expect.

So I get blamed.


Ok

Cats are the only gods there is. Dogs are just fallen felines.

I think you have been sold a bill of goods. Cats are good at that.

By the seven lives of Bastet! All heretics will be scratched till death.

American cats get nine lives. Sorry yours only get seven.

I'm an heptagatist. You enneagatists are just over the top.

Thanks. I'm okay with most snakes, but more at home with spiders. Literally.

Where am I demanding special attention????

I say what I have to say.

But the idea that atheists are going to start threads and then cry like babies when a non-atheist comes in to challenge some of the atheistic nonsense being strewn is off the wall.

Spiders are useful, they kill flies and all that, but I wouldn't pet them... That instinctive fear of them is hard to tame. I can deal with snakes much better, find them beautiful.

Disclosure: I don't pet my spiders, either.

Your new avatar made me think Msolga had returned.

Oh... Okay, I'll find another cartoon feline. Don't want to steal anybody's avatar.

She left us a number of years ago. Don't sweat it.
