MacBook Air Gamer posted:Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. I used to get forwards that ended with this paragraph verbatim as far back as 1998. I wasn't even an atheist then, and it still pissed me off for trying to guilt-trip me to sending on whatever tripe it was attached to.

crime fighting hog posted:Should I tell this to the group of Crusade kids that are always praying in the middle of the campus recreation area each week or should I not try to get shot? I would just quote the relevant passage right at them and gauge their reactions. “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

I can't stand the whole "Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays" thing. I used to think that it was almost exclusively Christians who got upset about Happy Holidays, but lo and behold, this year I was proven wrong when a pagan friend of mine put a rant up on Facebook about how offended he is that people had the gall to wish him a Merry Christmas. I'll tell ya who's never getting a card from me ever again.

Mornacale posted:I can't tell if a pagan getting mad about people celebrating Christmas is incredibly ironic or makes perfect sense. It WOULD make perfect sense if he were a pagan for reasons beyond "I'm a twenty-something Fine Arts student and want to be different from the rest of you sheeple" His paganism is recent, you see.

Dominion posted:Yes, apparently it is very hard to understand what it's about. Maybe that's because they just yell WHAT DO THEY EVEN WANT HUH over and over and then don't actually listen when people answer them. Or listen and then say "Hmm, no, I think it's just class warfare and they hate success" He wanted OWS distilled down to something that fits on a bumper sticker. I offered "Abolish the tyranny of the richest 1%". He seemed to accept that. vv

katlington posted:Relying on untrained and unaccountable people to make judgment calls like this seems like a bad idea. Like forget about people being denied unfairly for a second, what about all the people who could be legally carrying who shouldn't be because the sheriff (their sister's husband's poker buddy) signed a form? Seems to me maybe a nation wide official policy on suitability checks is the best idea? Have trained professionals make the decision and stake their reputation on it like any other health worker. Are you suggesting that maybe we ought to enforce limitations on who is permitted to carry guns, what kinds of guns they are permitted to carry, and the manner of which they are to carry them? Perhaps some method of controlling the ownership of firearms, or "gun control"?

Job Truniht posted:Libertarians like to constantly portray themselves as mature rational adults who argue with children because they are anything but. You're not going to get much out of this. Arguments on the Internet are scarcely for the sake of the two people arguing, in my experience. Generally, the goal is to convince observers who may be straddling the fence as to whom they agree with, or simply aren't passionate enough to argue their position.
