Scabbed Angel Posted April 6, 2004 Fredrik said:Another good one: "No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God." Uhh... wasn't this country founded on the ideal of the pursuit of religious freedoms? EDIT: Which God? ; P Grimm said:No, crazy religious people are scary.Well put. So do I find non-religious crazy people to be.Any sane religious person would realize it was just voices, not God.. Uhh...if I didn't believe in spirits and their influences, I would point out the irony in this statement. Ohh yeah, and Fodders, you totally owned Bush : ) 0 Share this post Link to post

Rellik Posted April 7, 2004 "The dilemma she faced is a terrible one for a mother," Files told the jury. "Does she follow what she believes to be God's will, or does she turn her back on God?" This guys statement is what is scaring me. Hmmm, do I kill my kids with a rock, or not? Oy, what a pickle... 0 Share this post Link to post
Black Hand Posted April 8, 2004 "God told me to strike at al-Qaida, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam" -- GW Bush" Bush never said those words. It was a rough translation that once corrected reads something along the lines of "I felt it was gods will to strike the Taliban and I did and then I attacked Saddam." I despise bush with a passion but ill never stoop to idiocy to insult him. I have these little things called standards. Besides seeing his incredible linguist skills I doubt its necessary to twist his words around. 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted April 8, 2004 So you suggest he attacked Afghanistan because it was God's will, and attacking Saddam was a freebie? 0 Share this post Link to post
VinceDSS Posted April 8, 2004 If you think about it most wars have/had a religious origin. Because almost any single religion think they are the best and only "true" one. Which is false . So all religions suck. 0 Share this post Link to post

Religion=people's interpertation of a belief, usually twisted for their own purposes. War completely goes against the teachings of most religions. This makes me want to create a thread about an argument I had with my family over the weekend... 0 Share this post Link to post

Spray Posted April 9, 2004 How come when people hear voices, the voices never tell them to do GOOD things? Like, "Confront your boss--tell him what great job he's doing!", or "You forgot your lunch--don't steal your co-worker's, it's not nice.", even? 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted April 9, 2004 Actually, yes, they sometimes do. Is just tends not to get in the papers like a killing spree. 0 Share this post Link to post
