Oh, and as to the OP.... what a load of BS. I was christened. So What? The next step was confirmation/Communion. Guess what? I chose not to. I don't go to church. End of Story.

If people really feel they need that, they're in a far worse place regarding their beliefs than a ceremony like that could help them with.

Political statements aren't for fun. They're political. You wanna have fun, go buy a hula hoop.

I'm very concerned for your well-being, monster. I put in for a virtual on-line confirmation for you, and also arranged for you to receive virtual communion (so virtual you didn't even have to participate).


You'll thank me in the afterlife.

Yes, it was a joke.

The atheist ends up believing -- very hard -- in a not-God. :rolleyes: Whoopee she-yit.

As a teenager, I might have gone atheist -- though that never quite happened. As a full adult, and getting older -- no. That isn't me or for me.

And you feel -- very hard -- in a god. :rolleyes: Whoopee she-yit.

I feel GREAT personal benefit from not givin a shit about god/heaven/afterlife.
Instead I care about life itself, not some supernatural psycho-babble. So go take you god-fearing miserable self somewhere else, mmkay? Oh I know, since you think the "after-life" will be so great, take yourself there.
Stop polluting my world with your "higher calling." I'm over it.

Urbane Guerrilla 04-21-2009 03:38 AM

My, my, my. Looks like I'm hardly the miserable one here, MTpretty.

I'm not going anywhere, and you can't bully me either. So stop playing the fool.

um, what? yes, of course it's a load of bs. I think that's self-evident.

No can do .... I'm virtually impotent.

Because when beliefs are driven by benefits, God tends to start favoring agendas which are peculiarly beneficial to his followers. Uncanny, in fact.

. . . As a reference, I cite all of human history.
