I love the thread’s (slight) meandering from my original post (thanks for acknowledging that pseudo hijacking, @MrBob!).

@SimonPaynton: Hrmmm… Simon’s vs. Sam’s take on “religion.” With respect, I defer to him, as I’d wager he’s done far more homework on and put far more careful thought…[Read more]

With respect, you’re doing what a lot of apologists do: playing with words. What do you mean “my faith decides how it chooses chooses to…” And “my faith is the group that compiled the thing…” And “that’s what my faith teaches.”

It sounds like you’re casting this “Faith” as an entity. Yet, you use “faith” as…[Read more]

There simply is no other way to avoid this elephant in the room. Consider: talking snakes, asses, & bushes and a virgin-born water-walking resurrected flying zombie whose bloody death supposedly substitutionally “atones” for mankind’s nature. To rele…[Read more]

Nine years old??? I was still getting swatted with rosaries in Catechism at 9! Growing up (and thankfully, OUT of) Catholicism was so dreary and foreboding. I used to stare in horror at the statues and artwork. I remember thinking to myself how fucking silly it all was… stand up, sit down, kneel, stand, strike your…[Read more]

Makes complete sense. No. He’s only ever been nice to me and family. His actions speak for themselves. His words, however, just don’t make sense sometimes.

How is it you believe in magic sky zombies still? Thank you for your reasoned perspective.

I don’t know where I’ll take this next. I see him differently now, for sure. I know I’m far wiser in this than is he, y’know? I mean that I absolutely KNOW he’s full of shit and that he’s like a Trekkie arguing for me to join Starfleet Academy so I can experience Spock’s wisdom, or a kid telling me of Robin Hood…[Read more]

I have no qualms or hesitation throwing down with them. I’m (usually, like 99%) quite polite, but I don’t pull punches. I lambasted a FB fuck-face (and still do) over this very issue (he unfriended me, but his mom & sister didn’t, so I hope they’re relaying to him every time I mention his…[Read more]

This sort of thing just never came up. And, when called out on it, he dismissed it as if he was just being “funny.” Y’know, like the KKK accidentally lynching a deeply-tanned white guy would be “funny.”

It’s as if he uncovered (or I finally accepted?) what was there all along. Can you hate (or disassociate oneself from) the…[Read more]
