A Christian Response

[Iacchus]

Oh well, it's too bad we can't take all these wonderful little "realizations" with us when we die. We may as well wrap it all up toss it down the toilet, because it doesn't really mean anything. Or, let's just say there is no sense of "timelessness" about the way you folks appear to be carrying on. It's all for naught. So, maybe it's time we gave up the facade right here and now, because you're the ones who are faking it.

Sorry Listener. This wasn't directed towards you.

Errr, this coming from a guy with a dick as an avatar.

Oops there you again! I guess it's so much easier to laugh when it's directed towards someone else. I was looking at his avatar too, and asking, why does this guy (who usually comes across as crude and vulgar) merit any kind of response from me?

A person claimed a long time ago that when his Big Daddy slaughters infants it is "good." Some claimed that I exaggerated this position. After he claimed his views are supported by "Evangelical Christians" [Tm.--Ed.] I observ'd:

Ugh. And those shitheads have the nerve to call me morally depraved. People like that make my skin crawl.

[Doctor X]

In one of those discussions on the Historical Junior, a very excited person felt the use of the terms "A.D." and "B.C." were, in themselves, proof of existence. He rather implied that Junior created them.

However, in his excitement he demanded to know if we were aware of "the ants of Christ?!!"





Yes, he meant "ante" I am sure, but I am still laughing.



The "ants of Christ" . . . do they bite?

As far as I understand, we as humans developed the concepts and morals involved in these relgions? Why now adhere to them under the guise of God/s?

Sure, "anything goes" in an objective sense, nature doesn't really say [I]anything[/]

But we are quite capable of creating "morals" without divine intervention.

That's the story of Noah. I mean, that's beyond genocide - you don't know how to describe this creature. Somebody offended Him, and He was going to destroy every living being on earth? And then He was talked into allowing two of each species to stay alive - that's supposed to be gentle and wonderful.

[Iacchus]

And this is the same "God" that destroyed the dinosaurs? I mean how unethical was that? Neither would we even be here, to discuss whether it is ethical or not, if it wasn't for that.

I suspect that much of what is written in the Bible is an anthropomorphized account of God. In other words, God with a human slant. Why shouldn't it be, since we are not all-seeing and all-knowing, "like God." How else would you expect God to communicate with us, if not in terms of a language we can understand, our own humanness, that is?

Yet another anthropomorphizing account limiting god. If god is as purported there is no reason why all of humanity would not know god and what it wanted if that is how it wanted it. As far as I can tell god wants people to think that god is a man-made construct since that is exactly how the accounts of god look.

[Iacchus]

Yes, within one's own limited circle or views, perhaps. Notwithstanding that if we don't find it within our own personal sphere or experience, where should we expect to find it? What would be the point to being conscious and self-aware?

[LadyShea]

Why does there need to be a point?

In response to a cancer that destroys the descending motor fibers--among other things--yet leaves the child conscious and able to feel pain.

Wait.


WHAT????


Where the fuck are you posting, Doc? Nevermind, don't answer that. I don't need my blood pressure hitting critical levels.

[Doctor X]

I apparently I am "appealing to ridicule" when I demonstrate how disgusting that claim is.

[Garnet]

Oh fer fuck sake!

[Angakuk]

There really is nothing quite so fascinating and compelling as reading someone's posts about some discussion that they are having on some other board. Really, I can't thank Doctor X enough for bringing this stuff to our attention.

Better yet is that we don't even have links so that we can see the whole discussion and get better context for the remarks.

[Garnet]

I don't think I want links.

I don't know, why do you ask? What point is there to anything? Or rather, this is what we would expect if we were not conscious and self-aware.

[sparks]

I do bleeve the point of this thread is that Sky Daddy's followers can sometimes be a sick, twisted and intellectually lazy lot.
