Poor widdle persecuted Christian on DU persecutes another Christian for not believing the things they (the poster) believes in.

And atheists get a bad name for..... what exactly again?

On edit: A dead Christian and the dead Christians fellow believers specifically. Stay Classy my friend... stay classy

1. The "True Scotsman" rant seems to start around post 21...

...

Gotta go back and read some more...

2. Any one want to hear a bad Joke?

From a guy who's father was catholic and mother was a Methodist and is married to an atheist person of Jewish decent? Wow that sounds like a bad joke already. Ready? why don't Methodist have sex standing up? Wait for it..... It might lead to dancing! Told you it was bad!

3. Always! (nt)

7. We used hear that one applied to Baptists.

When I was a kid, the Baptists weren't allowed to come to school dances.

11. My wife grew up Baptist.

That's also how she tells the joke.

14. Was she allowed to play cards or board games?

That was another big no no at the time.

I remember we did the musical Guys and Dolls in High School. Took a lot of re-writing (butchering) to get it to an acceptable level so some of the kids from the Baptists churches could perform. I mean, c'mon. In the end they are all saved by GAWD. What the fuck more do they want.

15. Nope!

Couldn't do NUTHIN'!

16. Methodists don't care about dancing...

in fact, they get worked up about very little at all, unless the coffee machine at the church break. Then there is going to be hell to pay.

4. Yeah, cos everyone knows how "Christianity is vilified on this board",

that must be why "progressive" Democrats fall over themselves queueing up to say what a wonderful inspiration Blank Frank is every time he opens his mouth.

5. The risen Christ in BODY not spirit is THE POINT of the religion.

I hope not! Because that is 100% pure fiction....

At least pick something that might be remotely plausible.... if you can find it, that is.


What happened to all that helping "the least of these", and the meek and stuff. I thought that was the whole point.

6. For many...

Excluding and persecuting others is the whole point. /sigh

8. "My fiction is the real fiction!"

Er... I mean truth. The real truth.

9. This is the right place for this.

The best God joke ever.

13. I showed that to a Lutheran pastor a couple years ago.

He thought it was funny.

10. The best part is there's not one iota of evidence for the trinity in the canonical gospels

The reason why the fundies can't let go of their King James version because most modern translations omit the Comma Johanneum, which was a reference to the trinity that didn't appear until centuries after the first gospels were written down, probably inserted by a monk who felt the bible needed direct evidence of the trinity to hold off challenges to the official church doctrine. Even the RCC admits it's bullshit.

So it turns out, Jesus really isn't lord.

12. Hard to see where we atheists get the idea that religion divides people, isn't it?
