The 'War On God'. Again.

Note to Tony Snow: never visit Japan in December. Your head will a splode.

Hey....there's a thought! Wonder if we can do a fund raiser for that... :D

Come on, man. Maybe I'm confusing you with another poster, but I don't remember such immature comments coming from you before.

Yes, all atheists please gather at the pre-designated gathering area (as stated in the newsletter) so that we can go out and beat the utter crap out of Christians.

That kinda doesn't happen. Has it occured to you that the losers who beat you up because you said that you believed in god were the (sad) exception to the rule? Are all Christians being attacked because you were (once)? Did these guys (just a guess here) beat up other people having nothing to do with religious differences? Seriously, I'd like to think that a majority of the atheists here, seeing such an attack for such a reason, would have either helped you (if they were feeling brave) or at least not helped the guys beating the crap out of you (if the weren't feeling so brave). I wonder if the guy attacked for saying Happy Hannukah feels like you do...

Is there a war on the beliefs of Christianity? I'd be willing to say that there is. But it's not a shooting war unless, like you, that's what you're hoping to find. Be the better person and own up to that much.

I don't believe that an atheist or two ever beat up this guy. Not for being a +tian, anyway.

All the statments of denial about the War on God (Religion, Christianity, etc.) won't make the war go away.

Nor will those denials make those of us who have been physically attacked for believing in a divine creator believe that we haven't been physically attacked for believing in a divine creator.

Speaking of denial, aren't you the one who started that "It's now a shooting war, as both sides have opened fire." thread here called "The War on Christinianity," and then, after shooting your mouth off, went into hiding when it came to light that "both sides" were Christians? Heck, Christians have been fighting Christians since Paul. If there's a war on Christianity, maybe you guys should call a truce or something.

I'm confused here. Is the fact that there are no Christcentric holiday ornaments on the market some kind of "act of war"? Maybe cheesy plastic Christs are just bad sellers?

Seriously, if atheism or infidels wanted to wage war upon the Judeo-Christian god, I am sure we would find more effective means of doing it than denying your right to buy idolatrous trinkets.
 
You guysstarted a war, and didn't invite me... Well Fine!!!

Whilst I don't condone being physically attacked and truly hope they get theirs, methinks you need a good flogging with a sock puppet.

We are winning the war against the "made up" god. Churches are losing customers everyday. Maybe not in the US but most certainly in this land. People over here are reverting to that weird thing called "common sense and basic human decency" to live their lives.

All hail the victorious troops.
 
Christians should blame, the other imaginary friend that comes to mind with Christmas. Santa Claus, he's hijacked their holiday, so he can spread his communist cheer.

Were you really attacked for your beliefs? My money is that, if an attack happened at all, it was over your delightful personality. I would say that inquiring minds want to know but that would be a lie. :p

Sorry, but that's not on. Without evidence for the insinuation, this amounts to blaming the victim. Which sucks big time. I'd hate to be at the receiving end.

Oh, for Ganesh's sake - is this the story where some guy tries to abuse you for carrying a bible, and you throw him through a plate glass window? What evidence do you even have that this guy was even an atheist? Ever occur to you that he may have been Jewish? Or a Mormon? What if he was Christian, but he just didn't like your particular brand of Jesus-flavoured evangelism?

Stop crying about this non-existant war on a non-existant entity. You're looking for a fight and manufacturing one when you can't find it.

That's exactly what it is. He's nursing a wound inflicted when he was a child, probably wishing he could go back and do something differently than he did then. As a result, he's obsessed with twisting all these new situations into a replay of that one, 'cause he KNOWS JUST WHAT TO DO THIS TIME BY GAWD!!!

Kind of reminds me of another guy here who can't let go of that childhood pain and grow up.

Oh, shut up and wager! How many Quatloos will you risk on Fnord's innocence? :cool:

Seriously, you are right but I am older and, therefore, correct in my unfairness. :p
 
I don't think there is a War on God. I think there is a War on Stupidity.

While I believe in a Higher Power, I am fully one of the ones leading any fight I can against anyone who use their religious beliefs as a cruch, shield and sword.

(see Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, and others of their smelly ilk . . . ewww)

That is exactly the point I was making in my own subtle way with:


Phil said:
When I was in third grade, I believed Amy Graham, a girl in my class, was in love with me. Several people told me she wasn't. They even showed me a love letter she wrote to Donnie Huggins, another classmate of ours, and pointed out that she sat with him at lunch everyday.

I'll never forgive those cruel people for their War on Amy.

My classmates weren't waging a war on little Amy. They were simply trying to get me to be reasonable.

A "War on God", where a convenient phrase that conveys the meaning, is really incorrect terminology.

Yep.

See also

War on Drugs
War on Poverty
War on Terror

Quite frankly, I'd like to reserve the usage of war for what it is, which involves blowing things up and killing persons, but usage has gotten the jump on me.

Too damned bad.

DR
 
But wait. Don't the War on Drugs, War on Poverty, and War on Terror just end making those problems bigger? That must be what these persecution complex Christians have been planning all along. They secretly know that their God is either insignificant or doesn't exist, so by claiming that there's a War on God, they hope to make him look bigger than he really is. :rolleyes:

No war on God, but.. but I had just tooled myself up and everything,

I had armed myself with 200Gb of Improv Jazz, A Harry Potter book, A beef & prawn pizza, a T-shirt with the shahadah being read by Josef Mengele antropomorphised into a cartoon pig, and got a tatoo that reads "God is a Homosexual Poopyhead", I was in the zone, and ready to get my War on.

And now you tell me the wars been cancelled.

Bummer, what use am I ever going to find for 200Gig of jazz now?
