Its just second nature, it never occurred to me to be any other way, Ive never been tempted. I get freaked driving through the moors at night though - werewolves, you never know..<BR/><BR/>(came from the f word, cheers :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21139816.post-78586082257446492462009-01-17T20:33:00.000+00:002009-01-17T20:33:00.000+00:00Well, the fact that I can debate online but never ...Well, the fact that I can debate online but never really understand their society short of going and living in it, is a big reason why I tired of debating online. Because I don't know if it's at all reasonable to say "Quit your whining!" cos maybe they have been beaten up in high school for atheism, maybe they have lost jobs and girlfriends and social standing over it, what am I to know??? Also, people who seem that angry tend to come online and treat anyone who stands up for Christianity as their own personal punchbag and that's so boring, being on the receiving end of someone else's shopsoiled prejudice and hatred. So dull. And maybe they're right to feel that way and maybe they're not but I know that *I* personally never strangled their parrot. :)<BR/><BR/>Abster xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21139816.post-16740401702776936692009-01-15T23:16:00.000+00:002009-01-15T23:16:00.000+00:00Yeah, it seems I'm barely an atheist at all! :DTwa...Yeah, it seems I'm barely an atheist at all! :D<BR/><BR/>Twas a most American meme. I'm curious about just how big a problem it might be over there. I daresay mileage varies. :)Mephitishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989129223761426698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21139816.post-22367994614338739582009-01-15T17:45:00.000+00:002009-01-15T17:45:00.000+00:00Haha, lots of "no's" - are you sure you're an athe...Haha, lots of "no's" - are you sure you're an atheist? :) Only joking. The paranoia on there, I've seen a lot of that when debating religion on the IMDb. It seems atheists in the US consider themselves hugely persecuted.... I can't tell cos I don't live there, whether they're being overblown about it to prove a point or if there really is genuine hardship through being an atheist. Hard to respond when you're both writing in English but from completely different cultures and societies (ie British vs United States of Armadillo). <BR/><BR/>LOL @ the one about "have you been to an atheist's funeral" - I don't think you should murder atheists to prove you're a good atheist, you'll only end up in jail for a point of questionable veracity. <BR/><BR/>Abster xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
