The Gospel of unbelief

[Disney Doll]

So does this mean there is a third group you belong to?

Nope,I am in the stupid and stubborn faithful group, with the rest of the folks.

I believe in my post, I said "we" which I believe would make it inclusive of me. "Why don't we go to the store" generally means I want to go too. Same theory, KWIM?

Here' s your little whistling smilie right back at ya' ! .I never said I was any better,or in any "different" group from the rest of "us" ("us" is similar to "we"...inclusive) so I'll even throw in a winking smilie.

I tried that Sudoko stuff (I try to always say "stuff" on the internet, IRL I woulda said "crap," which I shouldn't anyway, I know), and it isn't half as difficult as this.

Mouseworshipin-

Like the Sudoku puzzle that show up everyday in my morning newspaper, you provide a wonderful mental exercise in finding the contradictions in statements you have posted just on this thread alone.

I've picked out a couple for starters. Here's what you said in #22

I don't make fun of other religions. And am always happy to new learn new things. Read through the last half of "Is being gay a lifestyle choice" to see how I learned the Baptists don't have 17 Ten Commandments. I admit my ignorance re: Comparative Relgions. But I don't slam them.

But you do just that in post #74

I said that Tom Cruise is wacko, regardless of his religion. I also said that Michael Jackson is one, too, and that doesn't mean I'm slamming everyone who believes whatever he does. Just because a member of a relgious group is a wacko doesn't mean the whole group is. I don't know anything about Scientology. I thought (just from the word) it would a be a study of Science, somehow.

The next one is a double bonus. In #171, you made a factual misstatement and followed it up with the basis for another contradiction in the same post. Let's take this one slowly....

Believing in life on other planets does not a relgion make. I'm fairly religious, and I'd love to hear that it exists. And if it does, it came from God, too. He created all of it, IMHO. So, don't Blind Me With Science by telling me that we found a new planet with life and that proves there is no God.

I didn't read the UFO links, and don't know anything about UFO religions. I skimmed the first one. Looked like most of those people just believe in UFOs. But I'll defer to your erudition. If people believe that the machines themselves are God, I wouldn't make fun of those folks.

If it will make you all happy, I'll retract the UFO as crap statement. I did it out of ignorance of the fact that some people believed UFOs were God. OK, Mugg Man?

Although, I have yet to hear anyone say that they personally believe UFOs are God and took offense.

Again, my personal belief is that if a UFO shows up in my backyard, and a bunch of aliens get out, they are sent by the same God I pray to. And if they aren't evil aliens who want to kill me, I'll be happy to offer them some pop. Or beer, if they are male aliens.

I had no idea there were so many of you people on this board. I really think you ought to join Sylvester's Blinding Them With Science club and start a "Blinding Them With Science - no bashing please" thread. Although that might be covered in the "Godless Heathens - no bashing please" thread. (Where you'll notice I did NOT show up to bash you. Now that I know you are all Self-Proclaimed Godless Heathens, I'm beginning to think I have a long list of souls to pray for after Sylvester's is saved for the second, and final, time. )

You know, I don't care whose wearing them or where...lederhosen are just not a good "look".

I thought those were only commonly worn by people in Germany. ( )

Yes, I understand now, thanks.

Even though I don't wear them, they look better than the grammar in your post It is 'I don't care who's wearing them...'

Your main problem shows up here again: Lack of knowledge.

Lederhosen are worn only in one of the 16 German states, in Bavaria. And even there they are not worn commonly. Usually they are worn only in rural areas or for special occasions/festivities.

Nobody could blind you with science as you are already blinded by belief
Instead of wasting time with praying for people who couldn't care less for it, you should better try get a proper knowledge of the world as it is. You might discover wonderful things like
-Earth is not a disk resting on four turtles
-Stars are not holes in a velvet cloth covering aforementioned disk
-Life was not created, but evolved

and many, many more astounding things are waiting for you - out there in the REAL world

 

[Charade]

You're just jealous, because as a typical American you most probably would fit into lederhosen only if we'd skin an elephant for you

Oh, so there are no POOH sized Germans??

If you want to continue talking in stereotypes, just go on

Bring it on...

BTW, that picture does not show original lederhosen - just a bad copy and the guy wears the wrong shoes and the wrong socks.
And finally: Lederhosen are not worn in Germany, but only in the state of Bavaria. Your uneducated statement is like saying 'all American wear ten gallon hats'

You must be somehow distantly related to Kyle.

This may come as a bad surprise for you: EPCOT's World Showcase is not the real thing

Really?? I'm so disappointed.

Don't you talk about my Grammer...you don't even know her!!!!!!!!

Oh wait!!!! That's Grandma!!!!

I did not. And I already explained that.

Not one of these things has anything to do with religion. They are all just simple facts. You can believe in God, and still study how He created the world.

I'm not trying to convince you to become religious, or that you should even believe in God. I'll have my beliefs, others can have their beliefs (or non-beliefs, as the case may be.) There isn't any proof for either side.

But, I give up. If you all want to sit around slapping each other on the backs telling yourselves how dumb people are to believe in God, and making fun of them for it, have at it.

You were haivng a ball when it was time to gang up on Tom Cruise's beliefs.

 

[Planogirl]

There's a lot of people of German heritage who live in Texas. We're blessed to have plenty of Octoberfests and other occasions because of that. This may be a stereotype but from what I've seen, Germans do love to party and they do it well. It's not possible to party so well without a sense of humor IMO.

I see a lot of not really knowing the other person on this thread. Ignorance is in plentiful supply and I'm guilty of that too.

No, I don't know anything about Scientology. Wouldn't know HOW to make fun of it if I wanted to. The only thing I know is that L. Ron Hubbard wrote a book about it, and the only way I know that is that there were a bunch of TV commercials for it in the 80s.

Tom Cruise is a goof. Everything I hear about him is goofy. Jumping around on couches, getting a pacifier made for his wife to suck on during labor, etc. Doesn't mean all the Scientologists are goofs.
