Nah - you didn't like it. You stalked me to this thread, to try to make some "point" & do your usual chest-thumping thing.
However, you fail to point out that I was in an actual discussion with Dixie, whereas your post on the other thread was a complete drive-by (and showed it).
Like I said; put in the time to read before you post. It would be better for you, and you wouldn't have to come in afterwards & beg people to do your homework for you.
LOL....still can't take 30 seconds to explain this purported exchange i missed, instead you're fighting madly to avoid actually discussing what you got called on....
you crack me up when you're in coward mode, the way you lash out is like watching a five year old stomp his feet when mommy caught his hand in the cookie and he realizes he can't explain the cookie crumbs around his mouth...
apparently you're too scared to actually address the post, hypocritical by demanding others answer you....you're boring
Wow - is that some projection.
Look, I'm just trying to help; suggesting someone actually read the thread before trying for some "gotcha" is prudent, even at the best of times.
I can see you're getting in a tizzy again, though; try to take it for what it is...
i read the thread...i've asked you what you think i missed, yet you still run
i'm not wasting my time with you again, you pull this cowardly schtick everytime you mess up, but you fight like hell when you think you're right
(yawn)
And herein lies the problem, Dix.
I believe in god, but clearly, I don't believe in the same god you believe in, or the same religion.
But, that doesn't cut it with you. As you have demonstrated time & again, everyone must believe YOUR religion, or there is no respect or tolerance for their beliefs.
It actually couldn't get more hypocritical for you, when you juxtapose that against your original post.
I know you don't believe in the same God as me, that was the whole purpose and point of the thread, and it hit home big time with you and a bunch of other godless pinhead fakes and frauds. You believe in the God of Liberalism! The God of Big Government Socialism! If acting like you have "religion" is what you need to do, you'll do it, you have no shame. You'll stand behind your "Jesus was a Liberal" bullshit and support every hedonistic perversion you can conjure up in your sick little perverted minds, and not bat an eye!
You do the same thing with Religion that you do with Science, you use it for whatever agenda-driven political advantage you can, and toss it aside like a used condom when you're done. If it contradicts your liberal principles, you ignore religion, claim it is harmful and dangerous... throw it under the bus by distancing yourself from it and claiming you are being objective. If it supports your idiocy in some translatable way, you embrace it and sing praises for it, cite verses in the Bible to support your idiotic view! It all depends on how Liberalism can use religion when it needs to! What does it DO for YOU!
Have you ever read Machiavelli's "The Prince"? It's a classic principle in political manipulation he stated as "The Foreign Devil". The principle is to identify some group as being a threat to the people for which the Prince (politician) will claim to be able to protect the people from that "Devil". The term "Devil" is meant to be a pejorative used to marginalize the group viewed as a threat. You see this principle being used all the time by the mindless masses who listen to right wing radio and Fox news.Why do conservatives like Dixie find it necessary to talk only about liberals? Is there anything they do, any work, that could be talked about instead, any thing at all positive or helpful to America?
I was watching CPAC and thought that without a foe their groupthink would collapse faster than a punctured balloon. I listened to Ann Couter say not one substantive thing and yet get cheered repeatedly for smart-alecky negativism. She seems to love to pick on John Edwards, but irony of all irony who came next but a draft dodger multi-divorcée with the personality of a sponge Newt. WOW - it boggles this liberal's mind.
PS most liberals I know are not atheists, so I guess we can chalk up another bit of intellectual dishonesty from the Dix.
See what I mean?It is important for us to remember, purple people eaters do not view science in the same way as others. Because of their Atheistic beliefs, science has become their surrogate for spiritual belief. We know from archeological evidence, humans have always had a profound connection with spiritual belief, it is part of our natural human condition, and every human is born with this inclination. Atheists prefer to live in denial of this fact, and insist they don't believe in anything. But they often find salvation believing in science, regardless of how little science actually provides in the way of spirituality.
This is a summary of how it works. When scientific evidence and theory happens to support something a purple people eater is in favor of, it is presented as empirical fact that can't be challenged. Any challenge to the "fact" is met with condescending and arrogant name-calling, because it challenges their personal faith. You can argue that science is never empirical, and never "proves" or "disproves" things, and at best, can only provide theories and ideas, but they will vehemently continue to call you names and ridicule what you say, because it doesn't comport with their religious beliefs based on science.
On the other hand, if science directly contradicts something a purple people eater believes in, they will immediately point out that science is inconclusive and doesn't "prove" things. So, they have established science as a "catch all" for purple people eater ideology... If it can support a purple people eater view, it's empirical and can't be challenged or questioned, if it contradicts a purple people eater view, it can't be proven and hasn't been established as fact.
The most clear recent example of both sides, is the current Global Warming scam. When the "science" seemed to support their idea of global warming, they were constantly using things (like Katrina) to make their case, and insisting science completely supported their purple people eater viewpoint, and couldn't be questioned. Once the scam was uncovered and we came to realize the data was manipulated and fraud was perpetrated, and the "science" no longer supported their agenda, the whole argument changed! Now, science is not conclusive, we can't rely on this scientific data, it's merely a representation, nothing to hang our hats on at all! People are laughed at for pointing out blizzards and snow storms, record low temperatures, as indicators global warming doesn't exist. When they are busy making fun of "knuckledraggers" who mock their stupidity over single climatic events, they have conveniently forgotten how much emphasis they placed on global warming during Katrina. We can literally see them going from a "Science is Everything" to "Science means Nothing" position, within a matter of a couple of years.
I don't really have a problem with purple people eater Atheists practicing religious faith in something, but we have allowed these people to infiltrate our public education system, and they are proselytizing to our children, indoctrinating them into their Church of Purple People Eater Science. We need to separate Church from State, when it comes to these fanatics.
Marine Corp version of saying grace;Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, now and ever shall be-
World without end Amen Amen!
But Oh So Entertaining!Since he and I are the two who responded the most, I can only guess that I fall into your "other godless pinhead fakes and frauds".
This is typical of your rants, Dixie. You say "I know you don't believe in the same God as me, that was the whole purpose and point of the thread, and it hit home big time with you and a bunch of other godless pinhead fakes and frauds", and then insist that anyone who doesn't believe as you do is a liar.
Pure nonsense.
1) This is a political site
2) There have been a crapload of threads recently about "conservatives"
3) Liberals make pretty shitty religious folk, so why not just be atheists?
HUH! You are doing the same thing Dixie does, creating your own persona by defining the other. Again let me repeat, if you have nothing substantive to say, it is too easy to assign your own doubts to the other who is [fill in here any number of things] and required because without that other, emptiness ensues.....
"Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance." Eric Hoffer
Don't fall for the "Foreign Devil" trap. God is neither Liberal or Conservative, Democrat or Republican....he love us all....well ok he may think Watermark is fucked up...but in general he loves us all.Actually, my hatred is rather impassionate and nonplussed. Generally, I don't debate/discuss religion with liberals at all.
Don't fall for the "Foreign Devil" trap. God is neither Liberal or Conservative, Democrat or Republican....he love us all....well ok he may think Watermark is fucked up...but in general he loves us all.![]()
I have never bashed religion. I have bashed fundamentalists who demand that their faith be the official faith. I have bashed people who seem to think their religious beliefs give them a pass to defy the US Constitution. And I have bashed people who use their religious beliefs to bash others.
Yes, by all means remember my christian beliefs. I have never posted anything that resembles your claim that I join in a "bashfest against Religion".
