On the subject of 'Christians' stopping me doing things, the first thing was indulge in a lie in this morning as one of their charming little drum bands was playing at 8am, then when I went out to get breakfast I had to wait to cross the road because even though there was a gap in their little flute bands if I had attempted to, I would have been physically attacked, and that is not to mention that two of them thought it ok to piss on the doorway to my block - all of this under the watch of the police and bring paid for by my taxes. And hey' absolutely, this is a minor inconvenience but it was justified by the nonsense of religion. And I oppose that, and I oppose much more strongly the witless viciousness of IS. But guess what the support of the rights of the first lot to celebrate their weird internecine strifes, is the same justification as the mindless thugs in IS make and if there is a trail of justification in their actions it starts in the claim that my rights are forgotten because of the other people being 'religious'

An over-the-top post, by someone who specialise in the genre.
And an under the top reply by someone who simply indulges in personal attack rather than discussion argument. Or rather someone who tends to because of reasons best known to themself. 


If you think it is over the top explain why. This discussion stuff is really hard when you retreat into this shell of one liners, made up of bastard atheists, stupid idiots, oh that's a template stuff.

In today's post you have both got annoyed at posts not being intellectual enough and then if there is something you think is intellectual gone down the 'you googled that' route. Can I suggest that you actually try and engage rather than this tedious and simplistic pattern of bitter accusation? If there is any such thing as a soul, I can only imagine your approach would be deeply corrosive for such a thing.

Do you really think that BA, Sassy, Hope, JC, etc, are going to change the habits of a lifetime just because others, of all religions, except Christianity of course, think that they are talking rubbish, and that everybody, except the Christians, recognise that they have every right to express this opinion, just as they, the Christians, have the right to express their opinions against the religion, or lack thereof, of all non-Christians.

A slightly biased, and inaccurate little diatribe  -  only to be expected from such a source.

Another one-liner!

Hmm! What response to make?

Hmm! Ignore it, there is nothing in it to respond to except minimal personal attack.

Rhi,
I noticed in one one your attacks on the Christian and their faith posts, that you used the word, impose. Do you mean like Isis Muslims holding a gun to your head or selling you as a sex slave? Or do you mean like a conservative Christian exercising their right to get involved in politics? Do you mean impose as in a Christian daring to NOT hide from others what is written in the Bible cause it might make somebody sad or uncomfortable? Why must we water down what we believe to make you comfortable? Why must we rip sections of our scripture out and change the gospel message? Why don't you demand change from the Hindus that target and attack and kill Muslims and Christians all in the name of their false gods. Why are you not making any demands on the Muslim faith? It stands against homosexuality and it too says if you don't believe, hell awaits. Try living a life as a homosexual or an atheist or a pagan or Christian in Gaza, Sudan, Arabia, Iran and so on. You would soon want those terrible Christian imposers back. (snork) Can you please list for me everywhere you are being oppressed by the Christian's imposing?

No one should impose their faith on anyone, especially as there is not the slightest shred of evidence a deity of any sort exists!

And who is attempting to do so?
