Just for the record, no one held a gun to your head when you jumped in here to begin slinging mud at me. Big hero riding to the rescue of fair damsel, huh? Your Momma must be really proud of you.

By the way, without repeating your hatefulness in this thread, you know damned well that i have never used toward you the language embodied in the PMs you sent me which got you banned the last time. You were over the top, just as you are here, or in any thread in which you lose it because you simply can't deal with criticism of Christianity. You don't go ballistic over comments about Judaism or Islam--it's only the Christians you whine about and defend.

I simply said its wrong for you to keep calling Arella the name you made up for her. All the histrionics have been yours. All the trash talk, all the provocation.


Oh yeah - rockpie? Thanks - I appreciate your effort.

Snood! . . .

You were banned?

Or did you play in a band?

Yeah, but the part that Setanta leaves out and will probably deny is that he instigated the whole thing - PMing me for the sole purpose of starting a fight, then running to the management when he succeeded in provoking me.

And, they already donate some of their hard earned money to atheist groups. It's called taxes.


I know i shouldn't encourage you to spout more drivel, but i'd be interested to know what athist groups there are that you allege are supported by taxes.


LOL This is a stupid question. Out of all the non-religious organizations which recieve governement funds, are you trying to say that there are no athiests groups which have recieved funds?

If everything is a religion then I demand all of my activities to be non-taxable.


You can't. Every religion has to have its tithes to support it. LOL

Definitions Merriam Webster
Tithe: (n) 1 : a tenth part of something paid as a voluntary contribution or as a tax especially for the support of a religious establishment2 : the obligation represented by individual tithes
3 : TENTH; broadly : a small part
4 : a small tax or levy

MOAN told me i should lobby to change things, and claimed i had only two choices to deal with churches which i alleged were infringing my rights. I did not allege that any church had infringed my rights, i had pointed out to her that there was no need to change the law, and i even went so far as to quote my first post to demonstrate it. It just doesn't sink in with her, because she, like Snood, comes in here to rant, with judgments of others already in place, completely unable to understand that someone with whom she habitually disagrees might not actually have said what she wants to believe that person believes.

Snood and MOAN provide perfect examples of close-minded riglious prejudice, and now Snood whines about having been banned for sending me PMs in which one of the mildest epithets he used was son-of-a-bitch. Grow up, the both of you.


All I did was tell you that I saw the situation as one of two ways. Good grief. It was merely an opinion, ok? If you don't like something then do something to change it.

And ONE MORE TIME! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP CALLING ME MOAN!

I believe it was you who made the allegation. It is, therefore, up to you to explain what you're talking about. Get it?

Hey Pete; One of my favorite historical event(s) is/are the Defenestration(s) of Prague. Have you ever visited any of the sites?


I think I have seen where the first one happened but I've not yet done the full historic investigations!

See here for more details: Wikipedia - Defenestration of Prague

I hadn't complained of the situation, so i didn't need you to tell me what i ought to do about a situation which is of no concern to me. If you paid attention, rather than assuming everything in the S & R forum is about you, you might have realized that.

Yeah . . . you're not a grown-up man, you're not responsible for your actions. I sent you a PM so as not to trash the thread in which you had already begun to attack me.

Act like a man, Snood--take responsibility for the consequences of the actions you freely chose to take. In none of the PMs i sent you did i sink to your level of vile and obscene insult. Can you say Bitch again?

Did anybody watch Boston Legal last night? James Spader's character delivered a scathing indoctrination of organized religion. A sight to behold, I'll tell ya.

He was particularly harsh with Scientology. Are all those things true? I'll have to do some research now. . .

Scientology is the creation of the mediocre science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard (do a search for him). There have been accusations of "brainwashing" and cult indoctrination. They are, however, a powerfully effective organization. They do well with the Hollywood crowd (never noted for intellectual attainment).

I can highly recommend a study of those jokers just for the entertainment value.
