This simple fact seems to escape the "faithful". :roll:

I wonder why he hates Leprechauns so much.....

I can hate the Easter bunny if I like.
Fluffy bloody long-eared git, who does he think he is?
Send him back to Easter Island, I say, and good riddance.

It got old very fast. I've just got no interest in being patronized or insulted just for the enjoyment of others.

I've never met anyone like SOME of the atheists on CC who have such a hate for God. Personally I think the younger the atheist, the more hate there is but that is just a loose observation.

I would enjoy a serious dicussion but it just doesn't seem to happen on here.

As for the topics I tryed to discuss. I got burned out, so I guess I lost.

I'll concede for now.

Concede? Who does that? So how about if we all got together and decided to take a discussion on the existence of god seriously, would you join in? Would you be serious? Similar to the recent thread where everyone revisited 9/11 with Juan, we could all present our reasoning for and against god. Do we think everyone could do that? I will not do any ridiculing, though I will not hold back on my opinion of god or religion. Seriously.

It's very difficult to refrain from making fun of you right now, but I am, as a sign of goodwill.

You act like you haven't done your fair share of name calling.

The expression "Ffs, don`t feed the trolls" comes to mind.

Seriously, i don`t get why you people still try reasoning with Gregrios, has he actually carried out a "real" debate for more than 2 replies or so? ever?

I for one am not. I think he is an Atheist too. So now I'm just pushing back....

Nah, but his endless bitching is rather fun to read.

Indeed. If I don't enjoy the discussion in a particular thread i avoid it. Here is pretty much the only place I can vent my frustration with the religious.

I just thought of something. If God really wanted to have people follow him, then why did he send Jesus to such an insignificant place? Why have him only preach to a handful of people and leave the rest to hearsay?

You just don't understand the nature of God as He is unknowable, unthinkable, and incomprehensible. You just have to believe because a group of patriarchal power hungry decided 2000+ years ago that people were having too much fun and if they didn't think of some dodge to get out of working in the fields/shepherding goats/building pyramids and sit around a temple all day while the other saps "tithed" to feed them, empower them, and to tell them all their dirty little secrets, then those same lazy bastards would have to actually get off their asses and work.

Man I have been just reading this forum and sitting back it is pretty damn funny honestly I'm far from Christian and I'm not Atheist but this forum just goes to show you how ignorant, condescending and arrogant Christians really are. No one needs to prove how stupid Christians are they do it everyone time they open there mouth. :lol:

Translation:

1) Ouch they called my bluff
2) They know I havent the wit or inteligence to do anything but throw insults as a smoke screen.
3) Perhaps if I just post some smileys and pretend to be aloof.

To be honest its a fair assesment, there are 3 or 4 very inteligent Christians who post eloquently and know their stuff but the rest are an embarassment really.
