And so I leave you with a quote: “He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary.”


So, you are calling the holocaust survivors and relatives of people who died in the holocaust, for being Jewish, fools for feeling that it was offensive to baptise those who died?

Do you know the best way to anger an atheist? Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 07:10:57 PM 1985 Views
Or, you could baptize one of them, posthumously. nossy - 28/02/2012 07:32:48 PM 1325 Views
Ooo that is hilarious *NM* Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 08:22:19 PM 475 Views
I can't think of any reason for an atheist to be annoyed by that. Tim - 28/02/2012 11:08:44 PM 1064 Views
Well, for starters, it's really effing rude. nossy - 28/02/2012 11:31:36 PM 1123 Views
It is an act of love. Narg - 29/02/2012 12:34:03 AM 1114 Views
Everyone does it for that reason? (edits for clarity) nossy - 29/02/2012 10:27:02 AM 1013 Views
I have some disturbing news for you... Narg - 29/02/2012 06:42:41 PM 1049 Views
For anyone reading this: the guy above is wrong, and I am admitting that to you on his behalf, so nossy - 29/02/2012 07:15:38 PM 1089 Views
Maybe without realizing it, you have articulated.... Jeordam - 29/02/2012 07:24:13 PM 911 Views
I actually find that conversation quite interesting. nossy - 29/02/2012 08:18:35 PM 1035 Views
Re: I actually find that conversation quite interesting. Jeordam - 29/02/2012 09:07:06 PM 1088 Views
I cannot possibly agree more with these two paragraphs of yours... LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 09:28:09 PM 1068 Views
I'm surprised to see some of this. nossy - 01/03/2012 12:11:31 PM 929 Views
I find the Fall perhaps the most interesting part. Joel - 02/03/2012 09:05:29 AM 1471 Views

There are 3 critical distinctions: 1) Ability to sin, 2) Awareness of sin and 3) Appreciation of sin Joel - 05/03/2012 04:08:36 AM 1008 Views
You said it was really effing rude. Narg - 29/02/2012 08:18:40 PM 1098 Views

No, I don't blame them or think they are fools. Narg - 29/02/2012 08:41:13 PM 1051 Views
It is not an act of love to defy the beliefs of a loved one. LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 02:32:45 PM 1160 Views
Rape? That is ridiculous. Narg - 29/02/2012 05:26:13 PM 1069 Views
It's a bit of hyperbole, but not too far from it, imo LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 05:45:39 PM 1099 Views
You are trying your best to not understand. Narg - 29/02/2012 07:12:57 PM 1083 Views
I suspect that that is where a lot of the issue with it lies. Chas - 02/03/2012 01:33:43 AM 1140 Views

"Spiritual rape" might be going a bit far, but otherwise that sounds about right. Joel - 02/03/2012 08:06:48 AM 1131 Views
Why would they be angry about that? Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:23:56 AM 1291 Views
Denying people rights since it was written 3000 years ago? jh - 28/02/2012 07:44:02 PM 1018 Views
Isn't religion different than faith, though? Nate - 28/02/2012 07:44:07 PM 1118 Views
Yeah that's pretty much what I said Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 08:21:56 PM 911 Views
Only if I get to be Pope. Nate - 28/02/2012 08:25:45 PM 1019 Views
I love me my vices! Thanks Pope Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 10:14:27 PM 922 Views

That's always been my view of the issue. Half-assed non-religious types are just as obnoxious too. Cannoli - 28/02/2012 10:34:12 PM 1284 Views
Seems a got both a pat on the back and a scathing rebuke. I call that a good day Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 11:57:45 PM 1341 Views
Best way to anger an atheist, by declaring all atheists are the same. *NM* Roland00 - 28/02/2012 10:38:51 PM 664 Views
Telling anyone what they actually believe will work. *NM* Aeryn - 28/02/2012 10:51:56 PM 488 Views
This kind of works for many, doesn't it? Jeordam - 29/02/2012 06:22:33 PM 920 Views
I'm an atheist, and I consider it to be my religion. *NM* Aeryn - 28/02/2012 10:51:00 PM 462 Views
Common error number 1: "Atheism isn't a lack of belief, but rather a belief that God doesn't exist." Tim - 28/02/2012 11:18:23 PM 1215 Views
I second that DomA - 29/02/2012 03:46:15 AM 1026 Views
Curiously, anger at statements of simple obvious facts is a hallmark of religious fundamentalism. Joel - 29/02/2012 10:27:29 AM 1148 Views
What you're doing there is defining "atheist" and "agnostic" in a way that suits you, but... Tim - 29/02/2012 11:50:27 AM 947 Views
What I am doing is using the terms as they were universally used until about the time I was born. Joel - 05/03/2012 01:11:21 AM 1069 Views
So what do you call this position?: Tim - 05/03/2012 08:43:20 AM 1041 Views
I call them both agnostic, but the former leans toward atheism while the latter has no lean. Joel - 05/03/2012 10:53:02 AM 1105 Views
See, there you go again, defining atheism in such a way as to make it sound ridiculous. Tim - 05/03/2012 11:21:17 AM 921 Views
Well, is unswerving belief a good thing, or not? Joel - 05/03/2012 11:57:05 AM 1136 Views
What's happening nossy - 05/03/2012 02:24:41 PM 1134 Views
Conversationally, DKs use of "atheism" at the start of this convo is the only practical definition. Joel - 07/03/2012 03:10:18 AM 1444 Views
Oh really? The guy who was doing it to annoy people? nossy - 07/03/2012 09:53:38 PM 1025 Views
The guy who was doing it to annoy atheists based on the terms technical and popular meaning, yes. Joel - 11/03/2012 04:04:36 AM 920 Views
Whatever. nossy - 12/03/2012 12:39:24 AM 1387 Views

I have known very few people who "believe" their religion from rearing and actually understand it. Joel - 29/02/2012 12:08:01 PM 1275 Views
