Brainwashing Christian Children: Scary.

Post by forum »

It's no wonder Christianity isn't being taught in the public school system.

Fast forward to the end credits, figure it out for yourself.

I thought this will be about Jesus Camp.

Forum, do you know what's really scary? Fanatics, religious or atheist. Take a look at the percentage of all your posts that involve bashing religion... scary stuff dude.

Look at all the posts praising religion. Whats your point?
If being an Atheist and speaking my mind makes me a fanatic, then I guess you call Christians a bunch of Cranks?

As an atheist I will always speak up against a theists claims. Just as most people would speak up against anyone in this day and age claiming the world is flat.

I find it ironic that when Christians begin to get backed into a corner in their belief system they eventually say something along the lines of "Oh jeez, can't you just leave me alone now and let me believe what I want??". While their associates continue showing up to my door and dropping off pamphlets peddling their gospel oblivious to the "No soliciting" sign.

Those videos are hilarious. Keep them coming.

I guess if there was someone who's every post condemned atheists, they would be fanatical as well. Point one out to me if you'd like.

I would also find someone who's every thread and post is about the world being round to be equally fanatical, whereas someone who states their belief in a round world when confronted by someone claiming the Earth is flat wouldn't be. Obviously you fail to see the difference.

Maybe I should back this up a bit to better understand your argument.

What do you personally find scary about me? And what do you think my intentions are?

What do I find scary? The fact that you don't post anything but anti-religious posts. Someone who doesn't find anything good about religion and religious people is as scary as someone who can't find anything good about atheists. Fanatics are blind to anything but their own beliefs and are generally very closed-minded, like the ones you cut down... ironically it's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Ah yes Neb, just like if someone posted nothing but anti-atheist posts, you'd be commending them for their pro-thinking. :127:

You mean it's not pro-thinking if it's something you don't agree with?

Not my words but you may draw your own conclusions (although it has nothing to do with what I agree with or not).
