I like turtles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y We just disagree on many issues.

I'm sure if I were to ask what people thought of me, most people would respond with something like "he's okay if you don't get him started on religion, politics, or Shadow the Hedgehog."

That being said, I'd rather be a hated Christian than a well-liked atheist.

One thing's for certain, Turtlekid: You always stand your ground on issues of importance, and for that you deserve props:*

*Shotgun on being the guy on the left, though.

Why socialize at all then?

EDIT: Of course this is a rhetorical question, as I doubt I'll get a logical response.

Given the choice between the two, I would take the former.
Given the choice between any reputation (not just those two), I'll take "well-liked Christian."

Right, because imposing your views on others leaves you the option of "well-liked"

To quote the internet: You're doing it wrong.

So I can't say that you're doing it wrong, but you can say that I am?

Y'know, with this collapsing economy and changes in policy, I hope nepotism doesn't work in your favor as it has for your predecessors. When you are forced to meet the real world, the one outside your private Christian school and confines of your cozy gated community, you'll be popped out of your sanctimonious little bubble from which the world was a stark, black & white instead of the sickly mess of gray that it really is.

Until then, you're just an cute little nuisance. I JUST WANNA SQUEEZE THOSE WITTLE CHWEEK YES I DO.

We aren't telling you you're wrong for believing what you believe, we're telling you you're wrong for telling everybody else they're wrong for believing what they believe.

My beliefs tell me to spread my beliefs, which at some point will require me to come into conflict with someone else's beliefs, in this case telling them that they're wrong. So yes, you are telling me I'm wrong for believing what I believe.

Truttle, be a dear and pull this bible out of my throat on the way out.

I don't know what is right and what is wrong...I just don't think I could subscribe to something that tells me that if I'm wrong, I'm going to burn forever. I am a human being who doubts the occurrence of supernatural events on earth...why in the world would God send me to burn forever for that?

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #89 on:** May 29, 2009, 02:35:56 PM »

He doesn't send you to burn because you deny his existence. He sends you to burn because you're born sinful.
