because religious people dont get away with a whole lot on a daily basis. i dunno about where you live, but here if you even express your theism in the slightest people will laugh at you. the mere mentioning of jesus is funny.
oh it must be so awkward being part of the 85% of the population



Quotethe people chose to pass prop 8. whether or not you agree with them pretty much doesn't matter.
i thought the point was something about other people's beliefs and why atheists are such assholes or something.

though i guess we can use proposition 39439 which passes laws based on and funded by atheists as an example of those asshole atheitss

Quoteand btw the two bold words are both very different, so i guess that's where the problem is.
yeah i mean saying a fictional being isn't real is so much assholish than trying to tell a person that their life sucks and they are unhappy

Quotethe whole point of agnosticism is that there's probably some divine being that orchestrated some sort of beginning of life.
wait what

Quoteyou can't just pick a god and be happy with it, they (in theory) looked at all of the religions and didnt find any that made logical sense to them. so they say, atheism assumes too much happened based off of chance, and the thought of a god that likes circumcized penises is strange, so let's assume that it's something else.
are you making up what agnosticism is


Quoteatheism assumes too much happened based off of chance

methinks you doth protest too much listen to too many apologetic arguments

there is a middle ground. the thought that there isn't is pretty ignorant.
too lazy to find that 1-7 thing.

though i think it's more ignorant to give equal credence of the belief of something in spite of the lack of supporting evidence and the lack of believe of something due to the lack of supporting evidence

Oh hey some guy tried to convert me on the streets today too...

He was trying to sell some book on Hinduism I believe... I could pay him any amount for it... It looked kind of cool so I was tempted, but I would have only paid a dollar for it and that seemed like it would have been mean. He was a pretty poor salesman though, saying generic things like "you look like a cool guy" and "oh your major is political science? awesome!"

The political science being awesome part totally cost him akudood;
wait what the lol they have hindus in america converting people?

Yes, I believe they're Bhakti. Not so much converting as trying to sell a book of stories about the Hindu gods I think confuseddood;

They're really nice anyway girl;

Completely unrelated maybe, but I met some Tibetan Buddhists last year and they were the funniest, warmest people I have ever met.

They're not quite as vocal as half the asshole atheist i've met are.

Quotei thought the point was something about other people's beliefs and why atheists are such assholes or something.
you should know me by now i never remember the point of what im arguing

Quotethough i guess we can use proposition 39439 which passes laws based on and funded by atheists as an example of those asshole atheitss
what does this mean

Quoteyeah i mean saying a fictional being isn't real is so much assholish than trying to tell a person that their life sucks and they are unhappy
you said implying and telling. im trying to make a point out of that. what it comes down to is essentially telling the other party that they're stupid. would you rather someone told you that you're a moron, or that they implied it? being told straight out is hard hitting, having it implied is just kind of awkward and degrading. they're both not nice, but, oh well.

Quotewait what
are you making up what agnosticism is
agnosticism is belief that there's some sort of divine force that acts without having a sort of religion set up to worship him. what else would it be.

Quotemethinks you doth protest too much listen to too many apologetic arguments
i dont understand yo
oh
wait wait wait, how could atheism not operate off of chance? how else could it be organized without the belief in an organizer? big bang happened by chance, earth was formed by chance, earth became inhabitable instead of mars and venus because it ended up just far away from the sun, microorganisms evolved because of that.

it all roots in an event that could or could not have happened. but it did. correct

You get the feeling that they were absolutely completely utterly genuine when they talk. There was no bullshit. When they said they were interested in what you were saying, they were. It was........satisfying.

I think you should be more clear.
