Bill O'reilly Cries over Atheist Display at Washington State Capitol

[KRANE]

Couldn't the same be said of either party?

No! Christianity has a belief and a purpose that leads to the improvement of mankind and society as a whole. Atheist, on the other hand, have no faith and believe in nothing. Which give them no purpose or reason except to corrupt and try to dismantle the good that Christian have worked so hard to build.

Good sir, I am NOT lost or miserable.

On the contray. And the worst part is, you don't even realize it.

No! Christianity has a belief and a purpose that leads to the improvement of mankind and society in this life as well as in the one to come. Atheist, on the other hand, have no faith and believe in nothing. Which give them no purpose or reason except to corrupt and try to dismantle the good that Christian have worked so hard to build.

I wasn't aware that I believed in nothing.


Hmm, but then if I believed in nothing upon seeing this message then I would have the belief that I would have the belief in something but obviously I don't believe in anything therefore this post is all a figment of my imagination. That is of course if I had an imagination. But of course since I am incapable of any belief that means I also have no imagination, let alone a figment of one dot dot dot




I have gone cross eyed now...

Crossed eyes is the least of your problems. Even a blind man can have faith.

All I'm saying is, Krane's post was absolutely worthless in the context of this discussion.

It may seem like that to you. But that's only make sense to those that have faith. That's why YOU don't get it.

Lol @ "good". That is highly debatable. And from your last few posts, it's safe to assume that a debate with you would end in me slamming my head on the keyboard numerous times.

NonAtlas? Is that you?

When you find a part of Jesus's teaching that you can prove isn't good, please let me know.

If it will help you see the light, then by all means.

[ll ReNeGaDe ll]

I searched and didn't find anything on this, surprised. What are your guys opinions on the sign and also what a douche O'Reiley is?

It wasn't an atheist sign, it was an anti-religion sign. There's no point in pissing people off like that.

I would have the same problem with any religious sign that would attack other religions, or attack atheism.

Atheists are Satan's minions trying to lead as many people astray as they can. In essence, they're lost and miserable and want the rest of us to be just as lost and miserable.

**** I needed the laugh. thnx bra

What about the part about giving your daughter up to an angry mob, or killing adulterers, or killing homosexuals?

But first you would have to define "good". If "good" means, "condoned by the bible", then your circular argument would reign supreme. If by good you mean "morally acceptable", then you would probably base you morals on the bible. I can't argue "good" with you, because for one, you are a moron, and for two, you have nothing to counter with other than the bible.

But I would define good is "healthy for society", and plenty of what the bible teaches is arguably unhealthy for society.

Bottomline, there is a Jewish religious symbol, a Christian religious symbol, and a weird rant by atheists that is simply there to insult the displays around it. If they really wanted to be equal, they'd have put up a blank slate as an atheist symbol.

[designer12]

I'm an atheist, and I don't try to lead anyone astray.

[squanto]

Man, this thread is awesome.

[JAGERBOY]

Man, this thread is awesome.

STFU! You're just one of Satan's minions trying to lead as many people astray as you can. In essence, you're lost and miserable and want the rest of us to be just as lost and miserable.

So when a Christian puts up a display affirming their beliefs ("there is a god"), that is their religious symbol. When an atheist puts up a display affirming their beliefs ("there is no god"), that is a DIRECT SLAP IN THE FACE TO OTHER RELIGIONS!!1!

Seriously, this pseudo-persecution is getting mighty old.

To be fair, the atheistic sign didn't just say, "there is no god." It went on to say that religion, "was a myth, a superstition, that hardens hearts, and enslaves minds." That sounds like a slap in the face; just like I'm sure atheists don't like it when they are told they have hardened hearts, are condemned to hell, and eat babies, etc.

strong ignorance! Jesus never taught "giving your daughter up to an angry mob." where did you come up with that?
And, when the crowd was ready to stone the woman caught in adultry he said "let you who is without sin cast the first stone." And there is not a word about homosexuals in the gospels. You should have at least a little knowledge of something before you talk about it.

So you are saying that if the sign read:

"At this season of the Winter Solstice may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world."

There wouldn't have been an issue?

Seriously? Do you really believe that?

[bamatank]

O'reily showing how ignorant of the law he is, this woman did pretty good.

This woman is sharp. The conservatives keep advertising that they are for small government. This is absolute bull****. They are no different than liberals.

Conservatives want to oppress and control the populace in the name of religion.

Liberal extremists want to oppress and control the populace in the name of equality.

This is why the nation is so fed up with the government. This is why Obama, as liberal as he is, is bright enough to have a staff of conservatives and liberals and moderates.

Leviticus 20:13

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 22:22

"If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die."

Genesis 19:8

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

he said the teachings of Jesus. you quoting the old testement is useless. you do realize that christians don't believe in killing homosexuals and those committing adultry right?

What I'm saying, is, they did not put up a sign just affirming their disbelief in God. The put up a sign to also include a slight against religion.

There would still have been an issue raised by theists, just not a valid one.

What tenthirtytwo was saying is that if BOR didn't get butt hurt over the slightest perceived insult all the time he wouldn't get ratings and no one would watch him.

Lol that's probably true. I hardly ever watch BOR because he's pretty sensitive.

Yes it does. Again, his point was that even if that last part on the plaque was not there, there still would have been a huge cry fest. Do you really think there wouldn't have been?
