thank you Semi-Sane "I know NOSSING!" Markle for bringing attention to my latest anti-religion effort.  I appreciate your help.

Wordslinger wrote:Scared? Yes, I am frightened of fundamentalist whackos like yourself who can't stand the idea that other people dare to think differently than themselves.

Fortunately, Atheism is growing at about the same rate that religion is losing active members. 

That's a delightful truth you and your power-seeking cronies truly and justifiably DO fear. 

As for your remark about "covering" bases, I haven't any idea what you're whining about, and I doubt you do either.

I care not one way or the other that you chose to be a Heathen.  Why you care that I am a person of faith, I have no clue.  To me, that's just weird.

Why do find the need use the term fundamentalist whacko?  You have no clue how I practice my faith and I'm mystified why you would consider that a threat.

You're the one who brings up weekly how much you fear religion.  Sure does make folks wonder why....

I wonder how much more Wordslinger would rant and rave if we had a Christian on here proselyting as much for their religion as Wordslinger does for his own?

What I see are people who take the name of Christian and conflate it with the goals of the Chamber of Commerce and the lobbyists. It is nothing like what Jesus called us to be. It is human nature run amok.

The sad thing is that many follow these fake Christians in all sincerity. I can't imagine how their sense of discernment can be so out of whack as to not see these people for what they are: opportunists promoting their own self interests.

I cringe at the word Christian. It has been so misused. It is unrecognizable.

I see that you have warped opinion of what following Christ means.

I also see that you think your opinion of who is or is not a Christian matters.  It does not.

It matters only to the Christian and Jesus Christ.

It is not difficult to follow Christ.  We are not and are not expected to be perfect which is something Heathens seem to think they somehow have the right to heap on us.  We are forgiven.

othershoe1030 wrote:It looks to me as if these politicians are using the emotional appeal of a perfectly good religion to mask their greed and treachery. They use the label of religion as a smoke screen to obscure their true desires, their love of money.

Markle wrote:Yep, when my Socialist/Communist good friend Wordslinger is feeling down, he always gets a boost from exhibiting his hate.  Must be a sad life.

Wordslinger wrote: Wow -- this thread of Markle's attacking my atheism has garnered 115 comments and 1739 viewers.

I want to thank Semi-sane "I know NOSSING! Markle the opportunity he's provided for me voice my anti-theist ravings in this ultra-popular thread.  Keep up the good work Fascist, fundamentalist Christian.  I love it!

Identical for the religion of Atheism.

I'm still waiting for my favorite Heathen to show us where the Holy Bible says that a day was our 24 hours.

Seems that you're obsessed with God.  Running out of time and trying to cover all your bases?

May God bless you.
