It galls me that they would even think that.

 They claim that atheists are taking "God" out of the classroom.  They claim we are trying to ban prayer everywhere.  They claim that society started its downfall when preyer was removed from public schools. They claim we are trying to re-write history to show it was not founded on Judeo-Christian "values." They claim we are agents of Satan and have no business inserting our anti-beliefs into the public sphere.

They claim all this but absolutely none of it is true.  But they persist in beleiving it so, therefore, we (to them) are persecuting them.

Get a grip, fundies.  All we want is to be respected and have equal treatment under the law and in the realm of new ideas.  We deserve it as much as you do, 

Sometimes I think even THEY have trouble maintaining the belief and wanting to believe it so badly- anything contrary to it is taken as 'persecution' 'cause it messes with the way they cope with the knowledge of eventual death.

 

However, by the double standard- any persecution of atheism is considered by them to be 'doing the lord's work, soul-saving.'

Nailed it - particvularly in this forum,

The mere fact that we disagree with them has repeatedly been held out as "persecution."
 GBRK is particularly persecuted by this definition.

Seriously uno, I can't agree with this, or it's just me thats not perscuted

by your beliefs. I would think others feel the same about it.

Thats your bailiwick.

OK...I would believe criticized to a point someone is really mad about it.

Jumping in the middle of a discussion that breaks the train of thought

of some can be a maddening thing.

.

Or just go ahead and start threads and deal with whatever becomes of them.

 

That's the neat thing about public forums, ya never know what yer gonna get-but what you always get is real people and not all of them are always gonna agree with ya.

Some are even gonna vehemently disagree with ya.

If you want a place fulla froofroo and people that think JUST like you do so ya can feel important like a teacher or a preacher-, yer in the wrong place. So don't cry when somebody doesn't see things your way.  I didn't see "follow blindly" or "agree with everybody" in the Terms Of Use.

 

 

 

Ya wanna pulpit all to yourself with a captive audience-start yer own church somewheres and gather yer own flock that thinks like you do.

That was going back and forth the last few days and not much

more going on. To express opinions and ideas or onr thing, pointless

needling and criticism is another.

I'm thinking I'll take some time out of here myself, not much fun anymore.

Well invic all i can advise you to do is just not read anything that bothers or doesn't interest you. There was a whole back and forth with ramn and a few others that I didn't bother with because it was of no interest to me, and before that others I didn't care about. But when someone keeps harping at me about a simple to understand post, keeps pretending they just don't get it, yes, I get caught up. Everyone does at one time or the other. But finally I do lose patience with them when it's clear they only want to quibble and act childish and I drop the discussion with them. I'm a grownup and I don't pout and threaten to leave, I don't go crying to the TD, I don't get angry or upset. If I did get upset or bored with it all I would just leave without the dramatic announcement some have to make. (Not talking about you)

If we had one these days I thinkk they might only be able to read two posts.

 


RP, what I don't get is how they act like they have to read ALL the posts now because there isn't an ignore feature. It's not like they can't see who made the post and just skip it. That's what I do if I don't want to read it.

LOL.

Frankly Jennifer you seem to be a bitter old female who is the one whining and throwing a piitty fit because you are revealed for what you are (deceitful).. Pride and refusal to acknowledge your mistakes is not worth any more of my time. Your post speak for themselves your bitterness is getting ugly. You are just not worth the effort to attempt to discuss it rationally anymore. ANY person that analyzed the sentence that has a the most basic intelligence would see you implied what I said you implied so much so that RP also picked up on your statements when he said the same in one of his post.. At first I thought it stemmed from just your pride and bitterness and now you are just obsessed with an corruptness that overwhelms you. You constantly deny what you obviously do and alter the meaning of what others says without care or concern and anyone should take anything you say with skepticism for you certainly cannot be trusted and that is ever more apparent the longer I read your post.

If there is a way to block/ignore my post I suggest you do for you have demonstrated yourself to be too bitter to reason with. If I can block/ignore your post rest assured I will and allow you to waste away in your own decrepit conscience, strike that you appear to have none just ugly bitterness and the arrogance of a morally bankrupt individual who allows her hatred of Christians to obsess her and her actions on this forum. If you don't care to read my diatribes ignore me if possible because I plan to ignore you if possible for you are beyond reasoning with and you will continue to be bitter which will continue within you. Others see you for who you are as well and the only ones who can't are your fellow atheist whom share the same agenda for your participation here. Not dialog but attacks and insults against Christians. That same bitterness and carnal heart/conscience creates that as well and that is the real reason you post here and not to be constructive. You ARE the atheist equivalent of the members of the Westboro Baptist Church who protest the funerals of soldiers .. exactly the same for you do what you want because you have the freedom to and you don't care who gets in your way. As I said a bitter vengeful empty woman who cannot find happiness within so seeks to take it out on everyone else you blame for your own personal misery which is why you cannot see what you did because you frankly don't care.

The reason why christians feel persecuted could be videos like this one.

Any person of normal intelligence, normal morality, normal education, normal integrity, and normal courage can see through religion.  And we do.  That same person might even promote a critical look at religion.  This is not persecution, however.

 

Christians like to feel persecuted.  The Book tells them they will be, and when their smug assertions and firm conclusions are challenged, well... it's got to be something.  Surely those Atheists can't be right!  And it comes out persecution.

 

It would be cute if those claiming persecution didn't blow up womens' clinics.
