How can you argue with people who think the Bible is the literal word of God, which they believe because the Bible says so?

You can't fix dumb.

Exactly! I agree with that!

James, you know the answer to this one as well as I do: you can't argue with someone who is so married to their delusion that reality is just another inconvenience to them.  In the case of the judge who "mocks god" as the sign above alleges, I would tell those who hold to that allegation that their argument has no legal standing, and issue my opinion based on the facts of the case.

You cant reason with unreasonable people, nor can you discuss rationally with the irrational.

Yes, you cannot reason with them at all. No amount of talking to them will work.

James, out of curiosity, what were these bug butters protesting?  And where?

It probably is an old Prop 8 photo but the point I was making remains the same.

I also wonder how many of these same people carry health insurance?  

Isn't buying such insurance an act of denouncing God, as you are told to believe and the Lord will provide and is not any sickness God's will?  

Where was this picture taken?

I googled on "Judge mocks god" and came up with this link....  One sign states "Yes on 8" so it looks like it's the Prop 8 campaign in 2008.  A sign identical to that sign can be seen in the photo section of "protectmarriage.com" so I suspect that photo is a couple of years old.  I am not the poster here so I can't be sure.

Thanks James and Sentient.  Opposition to Proposition 8.  As I recall, brought to you by Mitt Romney's religious brothers and sisters - the Mormon Church.  The same church that said blacks couldn't get into heaven until a "miraculous" revelation by god to their leader that just happened to coincide with the US Civil Rights movement.  What an amazing coincidence!  "Judge Mocks God." If I lived in California, that would be enough to get me to vote the judge back into office.

If these douches were anything other than bigots, they'd put as much effort into banning shellfish, cotton/poly blend cloths or tattoos as they do homosexuals. Guess they only read the one verse in Leviticus.

Yep.  Cherry-picking the bible.  Stupid hypocrites.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
