hey (is for horses)

[counter345]

I'm new to this forum and I'm just curious.

I'm also Atheist. But I'm not going to insult your beliefs, mk?

Any argument saying 'you will go to hell' will simply be flat-out ignored, because I'm expecting it.

Re: hey

Dear Friend,

Thank you for coming to this forum to tell us you have no plans to listen to anything we say. That's a refreshingly honest approach.

Yours in Him,

If that means every single message is going to be 'go to hell', then I don't really mind. I'm sure you would be repulsed if I said the same thing to you.

Don't capitalize atheist. It's not a proper noun.

You just did.

Well friend, I can assure you that you will not get the Spanish Inquision from us. We are Baptists, not catlicks. Tell me, what are you not expecting so I can be sure not to surprise you with it.

"Atheist" is not a proper noun and should not be capitalized except as the first word of a sentence, or in a title.

Your capitalizing "atheist" suggest you do not know what it means.

But don't ask me: Ask one of your own.

http://atheism.about.com/od/definitionofatheism/a/CapitalizingAtheism.htm

One of the earliest signs that a person doesn't really understand what atheism is comes when they spell "atheism" or "atheist" with a capital A in the middle of a sentence. In English, this is only grammatical with proper nouns and thus this signals that the person imagines atheism to a be a proper noun — in other words, some sort of ideology or religion like Christianity or Objectivism. When you see someone inappropriately capitalizing atheism, beware.

...

If a person really does believe that capitalization is done out of "respect," then they don't even comprehend basic English grammar and you should beware of them even more than if they merely didn’t understand atheism.

So, now that we have that out of the way, why have you decided to join a Christian church's discussion forum, other than to show us that you have a big anti-God chip on your shoulder?

Oh how sweet. You've come like some kind of heathen Dianne Fossey to observe Baptists in the Mist.

I hope you enjoy your stay. Please keep your hands and feet in the vehicle at all times. Don't litter and don't feed the Baptists. Thank you.

Re: hey

Apologies for capitalizing one letter!

why have you decided to join a Christian church's discussion forum

One of my personal goals was to study the behaviour of different religious groups, especially under stress of conflicting opinion. It's quite fun, actually.

OK, go ahead and post the little rant from the West Wing so you can get it out of your system, or are you not that advanced? Will you be "tormenting" us with an Internet meme showing that Epicurus quote about the problem of evil which displays no comprehension of the Bible (Epicurus never having read it, much like you)?

Nobody's saying "Go to Hell!"

We're warning you that God hates you and will burn you forever if you don't praise Him and obey Him and accept Jesus as your saviour.

Being a Christian is so simple.

Re: hey

little rant

How in any way was that a 'rant'? I was answering someone else's question.

not that advanced?

You can imply your own advanced all you want if it helps your ego.

As I said, I'm not here to disrespect beliefs.

Also, wow, I got an infraction about 'lying about my hermersexuality' without actually talking about MY 'hermersexuality'. Strange.

Friend, we do not want to cause you any undo stress. Shhhh Shhh.... quiet time!

Re: hey

You're not very good with the reading comprehension, are you?

I asked if you were going to post "that little rant from the West Wing". It's a TV show. Atheists post it all the time, thinking we haven't seen it at least 20 times every month for years.

Or, if you're not that advanced (advanced enough to post multiple lines of cut-and-paste text), maybe you're the type to post silly Internet meme images.

You said you want to observe us being challenged. So you're a troll. What kind of troll are you?

It's beginning to appear that you're a "Poor Me, Oppressed Victim of the Nasty Christians on Their Own Forum" troll.

As I said, I'm not here to disrespect beliefs.

You joined a Christian church's discussion forum and announced that God does not exist. By your very presence here, you disrespect our beliefs.

Re: hey



name-calling me is the lowest of the low in argument. Attacking my characteristics (such as my spelling, etc) is second to worst.

Shhhh Shhh.... quiet time!

Please refer to the argument pyramid.

TV show. Atheists post it all the time.

I don't watch television.

silly Internet meme images.

You're trying very hard to put me into a group that you can stereotype me. Interesting.

So you're a troll.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog

1. this is not inflammatory
2. it is not extraneous
3. it is very on-topic

so no.

announced that God does not exist

Actually, I announced it was my BELIEF, not fact.
