gettheledout: Q: What's worse than a bible thumper pushing their religion on you? A: A self-righteous atheist pushing theirs...

KingHade: ^Zing!

Homer: Can't we all just get along?

gettheledout: Of course we can!

Maynard: What's worse than self-righteous atheist pushing their non-religion......this complete horse shit being handed out to trick-or-treaters.

gettheledout: Just an observation. Have you ever noticed that the people who are religious never really push that on others, but certain people who are atheists aggressively push their beliefs on all. And that's not just here, that's everywhere anymore. Q: How do you know if someone is an atheist? A: Don't worry they'll tell you! (I believe that quote was from fleedle). Believe what you want, just don't criticize religion for pushing their view and then turn around and push your view, that's called hypocrisy

Maynard: Bwhahahahahahaha.....religious don't push their religion on others.......bwhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahaha!!!!

gettheledout: I know a lot of religious people. they may invite you to church or something like that, true. I know of religious people on this board, you never read them pushing it on people. I know of a few atheists on this board (past and present) and they love to push their views on everyone. Of course the Islamic radicals try to push their way but it's not politically correct to point that out...

gettheledout: I guess I could have said that better. of course religious institutions try to recruit people, that's what they do. I was referring to just regular people

snippy: maynard has a boner for people (christians) who are happy with what they believe. it bugs the shit outa him obviously because hes some kinda godawfull butthurt.. why do hate so much maynard? and why are you turning your back on your own peeps?

Maynard: An atheist would never give atheist propaganda to little kids while they are trick or treating. But here you are defending some asshole who handed out christian propaganda to little kids.

Maynard: I was brought up christian....baptized and everything. But those are NOT my people. My people are people who think for themselves and refuse to be indoctrinated into believing a ghost story.

snippy: so thats an excuse to hate? you have an ax to grind for some reason. what happened to live and let live? why are you so offended? we should try to get to the bottom of this for you. im sure you would feel better if you understood the root of your hate.

Maynard: ^for some reason you don't care that someone is handing out christian propaganda to children. What if they were handing out muslim propaganda or satanist propaganda or atheist propaganda to your children.....how would you feel?

Maynard: Hate is too strong a word.....i feel sorry for those that believe in such a silly notion.

snippy: well im of the mind not to let my young kids go into uncontrolled situations. now when they get older, they have already got the tools to defend themselves and their own beliefs so they are not swayed by differing viewpoints. its the way i think parenting should be done. a village didnt raise my kids.

Maynard: Cool, let me send them some pamphlets i have laying around here.

snippy: why focus your pity of the christians like you do? what about the queers pushing their hardcore devient ideas. you seem to be down with that? why arnt you showing your "feel sorry" for them? admit it, christians rub you the wrong way. is it because you failed in your own personal understanding of what you were taught as a young christian?

snippy: my kids are exposed to all the shit the world has to offer Maynard. i taught them to think and act for them selves.

snippy: i mean my kids are 30+ years old now.

Maynard: Queers are real....god isn't. If i should live and let live, then u should as well. Let the fags buttfuck. I focus on christianity because it's being pushed on me 24/7 by the majority. I feel the same way about all religions that believe in a superman being that will guide our lives at his will. Live and let live!

Maynard: Let the carpet mucnhers keep munching carpet......live and let live, brother!

snippy: i dont think you are being direct about this and thats intellectually dishonest. the majority of christianity is on your back 24/7! please maynard stop flailing. admit and get real at least. you have a boner for jesus. did he let you down at some point?

snippy: do you think you were duped as a young man about it all? did that develop into this? are you ashamed of yourself for trying to believe the christian story line as a young man?

gettheledout: You ought to be more worried about the tooth rotting garbage kids get in their trick or treat bag. either throw away the propaganda or better yet use it as an opportunity to teach kids about opposing views. don't indoctrinate your kid into your viewpoint, give them the tools to make their own decisions

KingHade: ^GTLO, with the words of wisdom!

Maynard: I waited until my kids asked me (ages 15 & 16 respectively) to tell them what i believe. More than i can say for others who indoctrinate their kids in the womb.

gettheledout: How does christianity get pushed on you 24/7? I believe that's probably a grossly ridiculous exaggeration

Riverrat: Maybe he listens to the local Christian radio station so he can have something to complain about.

Maynard: Ok maybe.....23/6

Riverrat: They take the Sabbath off.

Homer: i have to agree with maynard and they should not be handing this out to kids, and i also agree with snippy and GTLO, some atheist want to push there non-believing in good down your throat. i believe in god so those people need to get over it.

Fleedle: I dont believe in any religion but it would be great if there really was a heaven and everybody got to look down on all the righteous atheists burning in hell for eternity

Maynard: i'd love it if there was a heaven and a magic man had a plan for my life. too bad it's just a really really well written fairy tale.

Fleedle: God is santa claus for adults. why be a dick and try to ruin their fantasy?

weave: Just the other day I went out to lunch with my Dad at Season's Pizza. They had a special $4.99 for a medium pizza so we got that plus a diet coke and a glass of wine. Total for the bill was $10.58. Not bad. Anyway, the waitress comes over with the check and my Dad pulls out a dollar coin and gives it to her and says "Would you like a Dollar coin?" She says "Sure" and then he says "I have something far more valuable for you" and then dives into his routine trying to save her. She looks really uncomfortable and keeps thanking him but saying she's not interested, but he keeps pressing on. She keeps trying to get away but he's a customer and she' cant be rude so she sticks around. So my Dad finally asks her to just repeat a prayer with him. That's too much, so she bolts. I feel horrible. I pay the check, left a $20 and we left. I love my Dad and he's got a good heart, but he's constantly pushing salvation everywhere he goes and he won't take no for an answer.

Deleted User: ^^^^ Sorry Weave, butt...... I can't stand peeps who try to shoe religion down a peeps throat.

Riverrat: Pushy people like that generally drive more people away then they draw in.

Deleted User: ^^^^^ agrees....... Hey Rattz....... Come to the dark side !

Maynard: good times!!
