It's all swirly and glowy looking, too.

I was gonna find just a simple infinity symbol image, but although this one is broken and therefore doesn't really represent infinity anymore, I still think it just looks cool. :cool:

Classic Babsian dodge. Kind of like: "Wowza....too entirely much to digest for my being on this clock.....it's earlier for you."

Or my favorite: "Ack, I can't get in depth with this today...life is short and debating and arguing for what purpose life exists is a waste of precious time."

Which really kind of leaves you without any reason for being in this thread. We are necessarily debating and arguing for what purpose life exists. If that is a waste of precious time, then what activity is more valuable?????? Why even log on to RIU????

I'll start with this one.

Kind of like, yeah.
Maybe I should cry the river and list the itenerary I had that day?...or that I take the same mediation that narcoleptics use?
I DO have a life....and being it's so "Sheltered"...I should have probably hit myself up with some speed, "for the sake of sensitivity" naturally.
After all, "so many" on this thread have been "sensitive" to what I hold valuable or sacred.

Or my favorite: "Ack, I can't get in depth with this today...life is short and debating and arguing for what purpose life exists is a waste of precious time."
....."because" I do have a life. I didn't say that in jest or to be smartass.
What is so wrong with this statement?
Life IS short and time IS precious. Why should I acknowledge questions posed to me in order for others entertainment?
For what purpose life exists....that's not one of them for me.

Apparently because I believe gay rights I'm probably a gay man.
Since I believe in the rights of transgender people I must be transgender.
And since I believe that the sun is a ball of hydrogen gas engaged in a prolonged nuclear reaction, I must be a ball of hydrogen gas engaged in a prolonged nuclear reaction. Now how can I use that to power my car.

...last I heard, the Israelis are working on that.
I repped C*J, unlike him, I don't use a gold badge of pride with a paid subscription.
...indoctrination for his followers.:-P
Nice babsian dodge with evading my quesiton..... :D

Well this is interesting. I can find no trace of the posts where Babs and (I think) Roseman were both saying that America has been ruined by taking prayer out of school.

But I repeat the statement. If the kids went to school tomorrow and were asked to pray to Allah or Odin, how loud would the shrieks be from the Christian parents.

......"shrieking" ....I'll opt for normal conversational tone. Normal works for me.

Ignorance and homophobia are so closely related and so equally dangerous to us all and our future that you'll have to excuse me if it's hard to tell the difference from this side.

It was your words that caused the problem regardless of if you had malice behind it the end result is identical.

It's not about mine or anyone elses sensitivity on the subject, only your own insensitivity and thougtlessness. I just had to call you on it because you earned it. Also I do believe you can probably see the error in your thinking here and maybe that will translate to opening your mind that you are also just as wrong and stubborn in your opinions on everything else you and the rest of us don't agree on.

You look at everything from too narrow a view and don't seem to think outside yourself or at a minimum because of many things you say you come across quite thoughtless.

Here we go from dangers of religion in our society to dangers of phobias. What has this atheist thread proven, if not phobias via ignorance? Yea, ignorance. It's all one sided of course...your side.

What is dangerous to you, is equally sacred to another. Why is what YOU hold as dear of more importance than what I deem special?
Rid once and for all the inference of my possible growing phobia. It's only a defense mechanism on your part. Let's not even discuss the possibility of what doesn't exist......isn't that always the stance taken via the atheist?

Time to dispel that myth.

Oregon, it's hard for you to tell the difference from "your" side, because YOU are the one who is
there.

You are asking that I take introspection in hopes I will CLEARLY see your point of view as TRUTH. I tell you it is BECAUSE there was no malice, as in even the slightest ounce, that I will be disappointing you here. No one has the "right" to not be offended on the one hand, on the other, there is such a thing as consideration.....and not just for what YOU consider. I see very little.. if any at all, of that exhibited. A little introspection and questioning could have saved a lot of drama.

When you are up drinking your coffee, I may be off to bed after having been up for 18 hours straight and driving through 5 hours of traffic. (which was the case that day btw)..... Naturally, I EXPECT and DEMAND that you read ALL of that into consideration via your psychic powers prior to posting your very "thoughtless" response. :roll: There are a few of you who should have just known better, and if you didn't...a little inquiry was in order before taking the leap to "true comprehension."

If you are seeking consideration, don't you think it wise to have at least first exhibited what you request?
You accuse me of looking at everything with a narrow view, while you post in a thread that reeks of them. I call that hypocrisy. You call it bringing attention to a much needed issue.
You are very quick to go on to accuse me of being thoughtless......while you claim you are not being oversensitive, it is of course me that is being INsensitive.:roll::roll::roll:
My "words" were misconstrued. There is no need for a forthcoming apology. If there were, I would be the first to admit and have done so already. My goal in life is not to offend others, nor is it to knock down those foolish imbeciles (aka Christians) as No. 1 danger to America. What you and others are repeatedly clamoring is "number one danger to MY belief system."
While you are attempting to tell me to open my narrow-minded disposition, digest in the same moment that you and others are setting the rules....fair only to you.
My words didn't cause the problem. It was lack of restraint and discipline with introspection altogether. It was a case of OVERSENSITIVITY.
You are correct in assuming there was no malice in my words. And reading into them, rather MIS-reading, only serves to cause conflict.
This is LIFE.....you guys make it game to blame religion (particularly Christianity) for the entire world's problems, and more importantly your own "issues." It is INATE that mankind will always be in opposition to one another....but let's waste our time and energy blaming a God, or even the "possibility" of a superior being.

OF COURSE it's about your sensitivity on the topic. How could it NOT be? It's YOU, your very essence.

Try applying that logic when posting to me.

If you are going to "converse" with someone, know what they are and what they stand for before banging your and their head up against a wall.

Life IS short.
There is always the other side......ALWAYS....and you can take that inference whichever way you wish.:peace:

Look babs, I'm just pointing out that you have the time to post loooong statements preambled with I don't have time for this, I have responsibilities and a life and medication. You DO acknowledge questions that you seem to think we ask solely for entertainment purposes, but you DO acknowledge them by stating you don't have time to take them up because of your itinerary and . . . stuff. And a reminder: this IS the Atheism thread. It's not the hey, let's measure everybody's spiritual dick (not that you have one, dear) thread. By its title alone, this thread gives priority to atheists. I don't care about your commute, or your medications. I say again, if you really have that much going on, you should probably cut RIU out of your life; it's not productive.

First off, after 1700 posts or so.... it's called multiquote.

I do wear my elite status PROUDLY, because I actually CONTRIBUTE to the site financially. I, and many others help keep the servers going. I put my money where my mouth is...how about you?

Hardly the conceit you make it out to be. :roll:

What a negative person you are.

....and I rest my case. :clap:

POINT "being" that I do take my time quite often to respond (and even respond in kind at that) That requires consideration, none of which you and others are capable of, but COMMAND of others.

You are telling me that YOU don't have time, but that I SHOULD sure as hell have taken the (inopportune) time for the sake of being sensitive.

It's all about YOU.
Reminder: The "spirituality" and "religous" threads have their connotation as well, your point? By its title alone, it has obviously NOT given priority to the believer, but "dammit, it sure as hell should for your sake." Thank you ..case and point illustrated BEAUTIFULLY.
The atheist is to be welcomed with open arms on these forums to critique, belittle and otherwise bash.....while I am to remain still and subject. WRONG
I don't measure any person's spiritual dick here, oh brother. While I take the time to answer that question, you lash out with even more hypocritical views.
I don't care about your commute, or your medications. I say again, if you really have that much going on, you should probably cut RIU out of your life; it's not productive.
Really, I don't need your direction with what I do with my time.......nor your misconceptions advertised as gospel truth.
Now, let me go "cry a goddamn river" because you didn't comprehend this VALID point by rambling on for a few pages how very wounded I am that you don't care about "my personal situation."....you refused to take the time...booohooooooo.
....which brings me to "I" find offense to using GD...so there, I DEMAND an apology!...and I will ramble on with the next few pages and break it down how you are to be subject to my formed beliefs because you didn't see my point and weren't sensitive to what I "spoon fed" you. (This is a joke for the record....I will spare the need for pulling out the violins.)

ME ME ME...and fuck everyone else....it's the atheist way. I think I may have just embarked upon the atheist theme , LOL.
Thank you for clarifying. I sincerely appreciate that response.

I like tomatoes. Tomatoes grow in the same general conditions. FURTHERMORE, they grow upside down, and provide healthy fruits. They are also red. I think I've made my point.
