WAAAAAHHHH! CHRISTIANS ARE SO OPPRESSED!!!
Edited on Wed Oct-13-10 08:37 PM by laconicsax
It only took five hours. I'm amused and disappointed at the same time.

ETA: Upon further review, I realizes that it only took two hours. Frackin' hilarious.

,,Atheists shows on Sunday morning and seems like I can't go 2 blocks without seeing numerous Atheists Halls and Atheists buildings....PLUS the fact that they don't pay any Taxes....OH!...one more thing> Every Sunday I see Policemen stopping traffic for blocks so that the "Atheists" can enter their huge building and worship their Non-God. :mad:

7. I'm sick of being told that axial tilt is the "reason for the season."
If one more person tells me that I'm going to hell unless I "was born okay the first time" I'm going to explode!

9. I saw some stores setting up their 23.5° displays last month.
I couldn't believe it! It wasn't even the autumnal equinox and they were already gloating about their damn tilt.

12. Miners. Miracles.
Noting the rescue wasn't a miracle is apparently meaner than mangling ducklings in a blender. Miners who read the posts at DU were so dejected they climbed back into the hole.

22. Which means some theist is likely lurking here
alerting on posts.

Let me just say: "Hey, lurker, that's a mighty Christian thing of you to do!"

23. That hasn't happened in a while.
I remember we were infested with the Woo-woo Patrol for a while, in this group. Lots of replies mysteriously Got Disappeared. And they were not the kind of thing any of the regulars would object to. So it was pretty obvious what was happening.

16. Roger Ebert on the word "Miracle"
http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/10/post_3.html

"I'm not a miracle. And neither are the Chilean miners. We are all alive today for perfectly rational reasons. Yet there is a common compulsion to describe unlikely outcomes as miraculous -- if they are happy, of course."

20. That one put me on ignore...
because in a thread where he was claiming divine intervention saved his daughter's life, I had the audacity to ask why god loved his daughter more than other people who plead for help and die anyway.

Can't ask them tough questions. It hurts their feelings and it proves Christians today have it harder than anyone else in the history of the world.

21. I almost went into something similar on the thread
about my daughter's accident. When the person asked who needed go, I mentioned the friend who's daughter died and they talked about God "needing" her and that's why he took her to heaven. I wanted to ask in my response on that thread if that meant that my daughter was someone not wanted by god and that's why she lived or if this is a sign she was bound for hell but thought that might be over the top.

I'm on that person's ignore list, too. It's a great club--we should hold a meeting.
