@izzythepush,
Simple and effective, I guess. You still have no legitimate (non-fallacious) response and are calling it quits. Good night.

@XXSpadeMasterXX,
I don't find you interesting, i find you tedious with your constant insistence that atheists are depraved and immoral. I find the idea that you think of this as a fight interesting, in a forensic, pathological way.

@Setanta,
What he means Setanta is that atheists are depraved and immoral because there is no good reason for them not being except that their calculation of their interest needs must take into account their essentially Christian upbringing and it being necessary to come to terms with an essentially Christian morality before the existence of which Jesus didn't condemn slavery because he didn't know what he would do with thousands of freed slaves.

And fool can condemn slavery from a comfy armchair in New Joisey in order to establish his compassionate credentials and, at the same time, justify his abhorrence of Christian morality for reasons I don't suppose it is fair to enquire into. That's like condemning the gun lobby at the memorial service and becoming stumped as to what to do about it except to create a spike in gun sales.

@FBM,
You started the ad hominems by attacking Spendi's language. You then posted a load of bumper stickers. You later claimed not to know who Spendi was. You claim to teach English, but have never heard of Malvolio. I could forgive you for not knowing that I call Setanta Malvolio, but no English teacher worth their salt is ignorant of a major Shakespearean character.

I'm not calling it quits, I can't be arsed.

You're life is what you make of it and if you telling your fellow man that there life here on this planet we call earth that in all seriousness and reality besides "believing" and "faith" have absolutely no 100% positive answer on how it was formed or why we inhabit it. So under the "guidelines" of a Christian you are not suppose to judge other but I find it ironic that ohh so many do and yes I understand we all as humans "sin" but something that is not directly effecting you your family or any persons well being (ex: homosexuals, atheists) why is it appropriate and not sinful for you to produce slander and libel about these people. If God really exists Just because you call yourself a Christian isn't a free pass to put down anyone else who doesn't follow the same belief. Who knows God might decide "Christians" of the world have made such a disgrace out of his name and wants that he will just wipe us All out and we will all take the elevator down! Just because you believe in God doesn't make you God you have no right to criticize anyone's belief.

No more than for non-theists...which may account for my reaction to your comment.

I agree more with:

Quote:
I clearly stated that hypocrisy is widespread throughout humanity, not monopolized by theists. But that doesn't excuse the theist manifestations, does it? It simply illuminates them.

It is if you think that the undermining of the Christian God's laws necessarily undermines Christian society just as those who put down drug taking think that them not doing will undermine society. Or those pure scientists who think that all knowledge should be shared by the scientific community are put down by those who think such sharing will undermine society.

@FBM,
This is why I am here, and the root of all atheistic hypocrisy right here...It is superiority complexities, smug, bullshit and unfounded...but to be completely honest...I think that most atheists do not even realize they do it...and I am still tweaking ways to present this to them...

Quote:
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...



Edit: KJV:...

Matthew 5:44
King James Version (KJV)
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

You do not have beliefs, or you reject beliefs, or do not have beliefs in God....Or you do not believe in Gods...Stop preaching to me and other believers what you think we must do in order to be faithful...You sanctimonious hypocrite! You either think this is true because you believe it, and practice it...You either believe this and do not practice it...(an admittance of either, and I will retract) You either do not believe or reject that this passage is truthful, though you preach it to me...So if you do not believe or reject it, then I do not want to hear you preach something to me you think I should be doing but do not do yourself...You either have no idea if this passage is truthful...and since I follow this faith, I will explain what I believe is true, and then it should help you decide...Or you know why you believe it is...and if you can explain to me how this is so...then I will accept that you are correct and do it, because I can trust you...I will not trust someone who says that they do not believe, listens to my beliefs, and explains how they "honesty" think they can improve "my beliefs" unless they want to explain why they "believe this" rather than reject this...


Quote:
I see you called on atheists' "superior shite." Doesn't sound much like Matt 5:44's advice to me.

I do not really care what it sounds like to you...honestly...unless you are willing to be honest and tell me why you believe that there is validity to that passage because you believe it, and embrace or follow it? Other then that...I am not obligated or compelled to make sure I make time for the spirit of God to hear this preached directly to it, while it already knows this...and where it once came from...hypocrites...Tell me something that you believe this Spirit may not know...and explain why you do...My objective is to please the Spirit of God...not meet FBM's personal goal of acceptance...especially since he would like to judge my faith upon something he does not believe or rejects...

I took extra effort to make it very clear that I intended no insult when I asked about his native language. I was trying to understand what he had written and why he had chosen to express it the way he had. Go back and read the post without malice in your eyes.

If you switch contexts without signalling it, it's no wonder your comment about Malvolio missed its intended mark. There are usernames here and all over the internet that come from Shakespearean characters, ancient gods, etc.

@Frank Apisa,
Again, I never claimed that hypocrisy was the exclusive domain of theists. My statement wasn't intended to be comparative. Just pointing out that it is prevalent among the religious. In my experience, it seems to be more prevalent among them for the simple reason that they espouse loftier ideals than non-theists.

@XXSpadeMasterXX,
I doubt I would pay this much attention to you, Spade, if it weren't for your arrogance and smugness about your beliefs. I enjoy deflating egos.

More word twisting, I see. I'm not telling anyone what they have to believe. I'm reporting what Christians tell me they believe and pointing out that their behavior doesn't match it. Thus, the hypocrisy. I don't claim to have a "turn the other cheek" ideal, so it's not hypocrisy when I don't even try to live up to it. I'm guessing from your words that you don't quite love your enemies. I don't feel much blessing from them.

If every action has an equal or opposite reaction...then if a belief causes these injustices...then there are just as many to lack of beliefs...and your very science supports this...If I was not so tired I would post some...but with the ways that atheism is set up it is very difficult to get another to acknowledge, cause they always have an escape hatch that they do not believe...So it is not "rejections" and I have no desire to go searching...or try to validate this...


Shovel man.... That reminds me of great song describing your posts..... A twisting we will go..a twisting we will go ~~~ hi ho the merry hole, a twisting we will go. :-00

@FBM,
And do you disdain the espousing of "loftier ideals" in favour of indecorous, inelegant, low-bred, rough, uncivil, unpolished and unrefined ideals?

@FBM,
Would you like to know what I believe? Or keep making assumptions based upon what other Christians claim? If you are not interested, then that is cool also...I was just asking is case you wanted to know...not because I think you have to or anything else...

@XXSpadeMasterXX,
If you don't hold those ideals, I'm curious as to why my words upset you. If you don't have those ideals, then I'm not even talking about you at all. That's a Christian ideal, and if you're not a Christian, then what I said isn't referring to you.
