drmattbarney says: If the Bible were required to come with a warning lable, this is what it should say This is a mindlessly imbecilic clip designed to deliver the maximum amount of offense. I'm glad you're offended Michelle but this is what the Bible says will happen right? I don't really get offended at such remarks. Only saddened but see 2 Timothy 3: 1-7, 16 and Isaiah 5:20. Looks like an attack on the bible to me. How come there are no attacks on other documents from other religions? Because this is an attack on Christianity only. This is not about atheism or religion. This is about attacking a select faith and meant to inspire anger. By circulating this into a public forum you are contributing to the hate that is consuming our world. You could have left it alone, You chose to clip this in an attempt to illicit a response from Christians in particular. You are showing selected and aggressive hatred toward people who revere the bible. This is typical of the one-sided attack against a belief that other people have. Since you cannot see it I will advise you on your mindset: If you believe there is no mer... Sorry about that. Sorry about that.skwirl, i don't think you owe an apology for your "rant". i am not a christian myself - but i agree with you that too much self-proclaimed "atheism" is targeted against a particular faith and spawns hatred and an ever widening gap among global society. however, by the same token i am also equally appalled by some of the global "propaganda" that is supposedly spread in the name of religion - again, targeting specific faiths. the infiltration of politics into the religious debate is frightening to say the least. Passionate eh skwirl I clipped skwirls comments here Popped for skwirlinators comments. YAaaaaaa! Well said LOL, My passions change daily. Thats how I feel right now, next week I may not give a damn. Ay! But you're always passionate about the helmet aren't you? Sohil, I was always told by my Dad that aruing about religion and politics was foolish. That one thing you can be certain of is that ideals change from moment to moment and often all the facts are not in at any given time. I try to focus more on the actions of people than on their beliefs. You may believe as you wish. If you treat me with respect you will receive respect in return. The HELMET is funny Despite being raised in a household that valued political and religious diversity, I was disgusted by the actions of my peers (still am) and resorted to reduced tolerance. The state of Indian politics, the apathy of the people and the state of religion deeply disturbed me. Your "If you treat me with respect you will receive respect in return" rule is a great one to base one's life on! Prejudgements are often a major roadblock in communication. I strive to have respect for others BEFORE they respect me. I operate on the presumption that all people are good. It really helps matters when one doesn't give their thoughts on a person whom they are going to introduce you to BEFORE you meet them. I have made a mistake and listened to the opinions of another regarding someone and noticed that my reaction to the newly introduced was biased. Not fair. Appreciate your outlook. Tell your mom and dad thanks ... both Sohil and Skwirlinator Great comment skwirl and thanks to sohil for bringing it to everybody's attention. May I take a moment to answer some of your questions and comments? Thanks. How come there are no attacks on other documents from other religions?You are correct, this warning label would be accurate for all other religious documents. Because this is an attack on Christianity only.drmatt is from California which I'm sure christianity is the dominant religion. However this is not an "attack" on christianity only. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all based on the god of Abraham. A criticism of the old testament would be a criticism of all three. By the way, my clips that a... Sorry about that. My money says "In God We Trust" implying that if you don't believe in god, you cannot be trusted.Not to me: I don't read my money - I buy stuff with it. "One nation under god", implying that if you don't believe in god, you are not an American.Not to me - I am american because I live on the american continent - the north american continent. Indivisible with freedom and justice for all. Who is all - I don't pledge allegiance to the flag anymore but I do have faith in my country. I would love nothing more than to leave religion alone, but first it must leave me alone.Part of the freedom you enjoy was made possible thru the concepts of these re... Sorry about that.I forgive you. You can believe as you wish. I don't feel threatened by your comments or observations. I feel sorry that you cannot find peace in your world. Religion is not a focus in my life and if it weren't for all the hub bub of all the people who are threatened by it I wouldn't even notice. I thank the religions for establishing the morals that we hold dear even tho more and more people are losing these morals and becoming hatemongers. If you feel the country is based on Christianity then you must understand that it is what the people want. The majority. Try to imagine a world where religion didn't exist. What morals would form. It seems to me that too many people are making a big deal about nothing. Part of the freedom you enjoy was made possible thru the concepts of these religions.That couldn't be further from the truth. Just ask all of these countries how free they are. Afghanistan Algeria Bahrain Bangladesh Brunei Egypt Iran Iraq Jordan Kuwait Libya Malaysia Maldives Mauritania Morocco Oman Pakistan Qatar Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic Saudi Arabia Somalia Somaliland Tunisia United Arab Emirates Yemen Lets look at this from a different view: There is a couple of different churches in my community. Lets go burn them all down and imprison the members. Lets close all the shelters, hospitals and community services that are provided by religions. Lets remove religion based laws from our society. Lets base our laws on science. Since overpopulation is a threat- perhaps we should make child bearing against the law. Forget money - lets just take what we want. Don't worry, anyone that is diseased or sick will have to die. If you can't work you should die. Lets not contribute money to public schools or charities because of kindness. Who cares if your children get raped in the streets? Oh, by the wa... Now who's spreading hate and fear? Lets go burn them all down and imprison the members.Nobody wants to burn down churches or stop people from practicing their religion, just leave me out of it. Lets close all the shelters, hospitals and community services that are provided by religionsThese are wonderful things if done correctly. They can be done without religion. Lets remove religion based laws from our society.This is a great idea. Lets base our laws on science.That would be stupid. We do not get morality from science. We also don't get our morality from religion. Since overpopulation is a threat- perhaps we should make child bearing against the la... If you feel the country is based on Christianity then you must understand that it is what the people want. The majority.And The Constitution is designed to protect the minority from the majority. Try to imagine a world where religion didn't exist. What morals would form.Every god/evil that has found its way into scripture is an god/evil that humans are capable of accepting in the absence of scripture. If this were not true, then these evils would not have found their way into scripture to begin with. Every good/evil that people cherry-pick out of scripture is an good/evil that humans are capable of accepting in the absence of scripture. If this were not true,... oops good/evil If you feel so oppressed and forced you do have the 'freedom' to leave.Interestingly, that's how this great nation began. People were tired of being oppressed and forced to believe just in a certain concept of God and religion. So, now it seems this great nation is becoming what it once abhorred. You are so defensive: I said nothing about athiests. This was an attempt to explore a world where religion doesn't exist. Atheism is a religion. The morals of our society are based on the principals of religion. If it didn't exist what morals would form. I'm not trying to spread hate - hate is based in religion too. It is born from it. Love is as well. Even the order perceived in a totalitarian society would be based on religion. A religion of no religion. There can never be a separation of church and state because state is based on community and communities are based on ideals shared by people. The ideals that all share are a religion and have to be established to promote the soc... So, now it seems this great nation is becoming what it once abhorred.By whose hand? LOL Who's Do you really believe that Christians are dividing our country?yes http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/06/religionour_maelstrom_of_ignor.php http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/9EEB73B9-BF67-4FBE-A25E-C2CFF11E1C3A/ http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/A120CD4A-D3E7-4791-BCC3-E7412250B64C/ http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/9AB4D531-FF9A-4638-98DB-F8E7401ECBF1/ http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/01034022-B2D1-44F1-AC4D-583829B4BF66/ http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/597A8140-4AB4-4F6A-9A9C-BD9276AC9B4E/ Ok you win - I'm tired of discussing this subject and it doesn't really matter to me anyway. I'll go play a game. Good grief ! Good grief !Good grief, indeed. I'll go play a gameLOL! |
