I thought it was quite funny... Anyone who fits into the list on the original post are in need of help and should be mocked

Leslie

If you did cut and paste from another forum it makes no difference to the offence caused by it even if you were unable to make it up yourself.

At least you are honest enough to admit your rather selfish attitude to other people's feelings which in itself is nothing to write home about!

The point of it though, is not to pick at someone’s religion its (in a sort of Joking way) to show you if you’re a nut job !

For example the way people write about the Muslim bombers... people don’t hate Muslims, they hate Muslim extremists!


I think if you found "yourself" in the post, you need to take a long hard think about your life ! If in fact you did even read it, which judging by your replies you didn't, I'd suggest jumping down from your high horse and getting a grip !


Your the kind of person that causes at best a pub fight over nothing and at worst a School bombing but you enjoy it

Sanctimonious is the word you need. Trust me.

Leslie

There is no way that either of you can accuse me of being sanctimonious or "holier than thou"

I have never tried to change anyone's persuasion on this forum and neither would I ever wish to. I have only ever said that we should all be free to follow our own consciences and also to respect other people's beliefs and the right to hold them. Neither have I ever said or implied that I personally am any better in the way I conduct my life that anyone else. I would not support those who do harm to others of course. I have said before that I support natural law in that good manners and thought for others is a good principle to follow.

I reserve the right however to defend those who are unfairly attacked as in this case and that would also go for any religious group, including also non Christians, pagans, atheists, or whoever when they follow their own beliefs without doing harm to others.

Why the hell should anyone have to put up with the likes of you trying to take the rise out of us so unpleasantly just in an effort to court cheap popularity!

If you cannot support your arguments-better that you stop scraping the barrel to try to justify your efforts. Your final remarks are a good indication of what I mean Pimmo.

the only argument I need to support is freedom of speech. If you don't like a thread just don't post in it. I don't honestly think anyone on this forum fits into the listed descriptions, but if they do I stand by my first point, they have problems.

So if you feel you need to worship a God, thats your business, if I feel I want to be popular by posting such deeply hurting and insulting material, thats my business.

Although I'm tempting fate now, if it was that bad one of the Mod would have removed it by now !!

If a mod decides to, thats their business , I couldn't give a monkey poo !

heres a thought, Go away

TelBoy

In what way are the points listed unfair and unpleasant? Just because you don't like it when religious people are confronted with the hypocritical truth about their beliefs doesn't make your assertions correct, as ever....

Here we feckin go AGAIN *Billy Smarts Circus Music*

Leslie

No I won't go away thank you very much. You started it so you will have to put up with the result. I am glad it was not removed by a moderator because that would have just hidden the affair, and the matter deserves to be aired.

Free speech is all very well and is to be encouraged. However there is also a code of behaviour and that does not include deliberately insulting those who have done nothing to cause you or anyone else any pain. Their only apparent fault in your eyes is to believe in something that you don't. How many instances on this forum can you relate of those who follow a Christian religion slamming atheists etc for their beliefs?

The real question, which I asked in the first place is, why did you post it in the first place? What were you hoping to achieve? Do you hate Christians so much that you have to indulge in such ill mannered behaviour? What have Christians done to you which is so terrible? In general their religions teach them to follow a good life and to have respect for others. What is wrong with that?

You have stated that you enjoy poking fun at other peoples' beliefs and also that you don't care if you upset anyone either. Not very praiseworthy in the cold light of day is it! One day when you have matured a bit more you may come to realise the error of such nasty actions.

DCI.

I have to admit that my musical abilities are just about non existent I'm afraid. If I was better at it I might have been tempted to do it all in plain chant!

Two different intellect levels here Les!

Those who sum up their argument with statements like "Go away!" Won't be reasoned with on the level you chose to!

They only know one language and most of that can't be posted here! I deal with that sort of mentality on a regular basis!

Geezer

Les,
You, I, many others have had reasonable (if sometimes heated!) discussions on religion here, but I don't know why this one has wound you up so much?

I could understand it if the thread title was "If you are dumb enough to believe any of this crap then I pity you" but it does quite clearly state that it's intended to highlight the seemingly double standards of fundamentalists, not the more liberal views of the majority who consider themselves Christian. Even if it is more than that, it certainly is no worse than many of the threads on here about religion.

I don't think the poster intended it to offend anyone, it was just a bit of fun. Most humour is at someones expense, it's a human failing if you like. Sometimes I think you just have to take things for what they are, and if you don't like it, then leave it alone.

Its just lucky people don't through you in jail, or just cut your throat for dissing the national religion in this country.

Im sure your parents are very proud.

TelBoy

^^ What a bizarre post

Christianity, the "national" religion? Not obvious you're from the sheltered South at all is it?

And as for parents being proud, show yours how you spell throw and ask them what they think.

Sometimes i really wonder what goes through (sp) some people's minds.

DCI Gene Hunt

I don't find Les or Pimmo offensive, they're just posting their own personal views...... Pimmo poking the pi$$ and Les sticking up for them

Its the Scoobynet balance of things

TelBoy

I think it speaks volumes that Christianity is being defended so vigorously. Let's face it, apart from the moral code stuff which any decent human being could come up with, it's not exactly the nicest religion in the world, but those bits seem to be ignored with amusing regularity.

DCI Gene Hunt

The bibles moral codes hasn't stopped those same religious types from breaking them for the last two thousand years

So they aren't worth the stone moses carved them onto

What is the most common religion then?? - Paganism

You obviously have some deep inferiority issues if you think in terms of North/South or them/us (you).

The manner and tone of your posts speaks volumes about you.

In fact you remind me of that spoilt little fat kid in Viz. Only grown up - thinking the world owes him.

I think you are a very sad personality, as do most people other than your 'close knit (wit) friends (acquaintances).



Funny!!!!!

Before you start of some singular character assasination, based on your own disturbed fears. Let me granulate the situation for you.

Christianity to me means 'Christian Values' (I can repeat that for the hard of thinking) - The good and noble values, not the bad ones that small minded people seem to jump on (Stonings, plagues, floods, 2000 year old attrocities).

Y'know what I mean? (or maybe the point is that you don't) the ones that talk about helping others and not having a huge ego that thinks you can do what the smeg you like and sod everyone else around you.

And NO, im not a bible basher, I don't do church, or sit around a campfire singing '***-by-yah' (Sp). In fact the only time you will see me near a vicar is weddings, funerals and christenings.

That makes me representative of 90% of the UK populace them.

TelBoy

Hol, grow the **** up will you? Stop trying to analyse things you know sod all about. If you can't see what a bunch of crap your original post was then don't come the bloody mind doctor with me pal, cheers.

DCI Gene Hunt

And they're away.... AGAIN

Religion..... you HAVE to admire it

myblackwrx

iTrader: (1)

Surely you don't need to have 'Christian values' to understand how to treat people correctly.
But if you are a Christian (or any other religion) you have to accept that not everything your specific religion has done was nice and moral.

TelBoy

Couldn't agree more. Intrinsic morality or whatever the boffins call it. But there are lots of people for whom it needs to be formalised in a book for them to believe it's "true". Weird.

Long winded and factually incorrect comebacks that are full of insults are for post-trolls with HUGE post counts.

That was aimed at Tel wasn't it?

DCI Gene Hunt

Nope, more like both of you

Karl 227

**** off you mentally challenged excuse for a human being, I haven't been involved in this thread on account of the fact that the God Squad get right on my **** and christian fundamentalism isn't all it's cracked up to be, just because they worship Allah and go to Sunday school doesn't make them any better than me, you'd most certainly never find me making a post which one could consider insulting, long winded, or containing factually incorrect information, thank you very much
