Quote# 59414

Is this why atheists, pagans, etc don't like us Christians?
They look at us, and see how we are. They notice that we don't do many of the things they do, like go to parties and get drunk, steal from our neighbors, have promiscuous sex, and cheat on our significant others. This makes them feel bad about themselves, but at the same time, they feel as if they are being scolded. The light that is our righteousness casts light upon their misdeeds, and it makes them uncomfortable, like walking into a well lit room after being in the dark for a long time.

Um, loads of people who do all that shit self identify as Christian. I assume you'll now be deploying the No True Scotsman fallacy.

No, we just hate you fundies because you try and force your beliefs down peoples' throats, when you don't have the right to, and you try to influence politics to enforce your so-called morals upon people who want nothing to do with such. Don't want to be hated? Just keep your religion & your 'morals' to yourselves.

"go to parties and get drunk"

"have promiscuous sex"

Jealous, much? Otherwise you wouldn't care what others did, as long as it didn't intrude upon your life. Live & let live. That's the attitude of we Humanists. And that's the difference.

Yes, Pagans hate you because you have a more ethical orthopraxy than they? Bull Pocky!

Your own assertions state that orthodoxy trumps orthopraxy, and therefore good works or ethical behaviour have NOTHING to do with your conceptions of salvation.

The majority religion among the prision population in most Western Countires? Here's a hint, THEY AIN'T Athiests.

I do not go to parties... it's too loud. I do not get drunk, I do not steal neither from neighbors nor foreigners or companies, I am true to my loved one and would never even think about cheating him.

I still do not like fundies! Because they often are retarded. I mean seriously, the denial of reason for willfull ignorance is something I fail to understand.

Really? I don't do any of the above, well except maybe get drunk occasionally, but as many of the people I drink with are in fact christians I fail to see the point of your argument.

Jeez, and I just got done emailing this guy about evolution....Wonder what he'd say if he knew there's a significantly higher proportion of Christians in prison than there are total. A much smaller percentage of atheists occupy jail cells than represent all of society.

Or maybe because you insult them because they´re not Christians, have you ever thought about that?

Considering I never get time to go to parties, steal, or have sex, I feel like I am missing out on something all the atheists are getting according to this guy.

I beg your pardon! I have never stolen from a neighbor. I have never cheated on my husband. Parties are not my thing, really, I prefer the quiet life.

How other people live their lives is their business, not mine. Their way of life does nothing to retract the contentment I feel about my own life.

I believe you are projecting a bit...

"The light that is our righteousness"

And our freedom not bound & hindered by religious bullshit.

Because religion has no right to tell we Atheists what to do.

Christians don't have promiscuous sex? Do the names "Jimmy Swaggert" and "Jim Bakker" ring any bells? Christians don't steal from their neighbors? Look up the name "Robert Tilton" and try to make this claim. Christians don't cheat on their significant others? Tell that to the male prostitute Ted Haggard ceded the moral high ground to. And these are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

The light you speak of doesn't cast any shadows as it exists solely in your imagination.

TOLERANCE!

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!

Also, I doubt you even know any atheists, so I'm not surprised what you know of us comes from your own slanted and wrong-headed stereotyping of us.
