Logic Extreme!

Great Post.

Where have you been? I see those generalizations on this board all the time. Heck even in this thread that wierdo Phelps and his family are cast as your average Christian. In other threads you have people saying that all Muslims are potential suicide bombers.

Except like the sun rising every morning the evidence is all around you if you would only see it.

It seems we have little use for each other then. Somehow I don't see this as a loss.

Seriously they are probably harmless and who knows they probably get abuse from antheists.

The christian, (really they shouldn't be allowed to call themselves christians) grp i found offending were that cult in the USA who go to soldiers funerals and protest that they deserved to die and hes/shes' going to hell you probably all heard of them I can't remeber the name of the grp but the pastor is hitting 90 and is well known in America. According to them God hates America he wants American and its allies to lose everyone who fights for freedom is going to hell cause God hates everyone except them! :rotfl:

Have to agree with you here August, there is way too much generalisation on both sides of the fence and if there is to be any hope for normal coexistance both sides neet to stop.
But that being said two wrongs dont make a right and your generalization is every bit as bad as those who portray Phelps as the typical christian.

That's a bit like Jesus isn't it?

I think you may have rather missed Letum's point here.

Unfortunately i'm beginning to believe that normal coexistance is not possible. Modern communications has made it too easy to rile people up and radicals on both sides are using that to their advantage.

Whoo-oopsie. My finger accidentally slipped and now August is on my ignore list. Worst thing is, when I try to get her out subsim.com tells me it won't let me!

Wonderful generalisation there , you don't believe in "God" so your untrustworthy , self-serving and discriminatory...nice
Indeed but that's not the first such generalisation I've seen him make.
Indeed.

Lol tell there priest that the adams family is in town.:rotfl: For christ sakes who cares what they do. Just take care of your family. I'm athiest and so is my family. I don't care what other religions or cults do as long as they don't get my family involved. I leave them be and its to there best interests to do the same.

Don't even bother to convert me in the believe of gods, vampires, ghosts, devils and such. I don't buy it.:hmm: Well unless you offer me alot of $$$$$$$$ maybe I might convert... Naw... lol

Anyhow we have plenty of crazies on this world to fit those catagories up.

Anytime somebody mentions money and religion, "Trinity Broadcasting Network" instantly comes to mind. Those people make a fortune off God and their Biblical preachings... though I must admit that I LOVED to watch it when pink-haired lady was on... what's her name... well, nevermind, but anyway, she was very entertaining. At Christmas, you ought to see how they take cameras in their million dollar mansions and gloat/show-off their possessions and expensive items. Makes me sick to my stomach.
