Religion: What it means to you

Smel, do you believe that the only aim of religion is to center yourself with the gifts and favors of God? If so, I can see why you think atheism is empty.

Additionally, if that's the way you do it, may I suggest joining a monastary?

Disregarding the fact that we don't follow "the first laws" anymore, can you tell me what the legal punishment is for following false idols? For disrespecting your parents? For coveting your neighbour's wife and belongings?

I'm serving 15 years for taking the Lord's name in vain. God dammit...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My parents raised me with the choice of eating brussels sprout or yams for Christmas, but that still didn't stop me from being an edgy motherfucker.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Dude, it's easy to ask for thoughtful input, but you're not really reciprocating is all anyone's saying.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You are an empty cafe that has closed down twenty years ago and never was bought. Eventually, you were bulldozed to make the property you stood on seem more attractive, but even that land has yet to be sold.

Your gravel driveway is choked with weeds that are cut down only three or four times a year.

I don't appreciate your rudeness. It's offensive and frankly unbecoming to someone who posts Thoughtful Input on Great Matters.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's not the language, fucknut. It's the ideas behind it. I think you have a hard time conceptually understanding things that aren't spread-eagle for you.

You are a religious tract done up to look like a folded $5 bill. Small children throw you on the ground in disgust, and the trash men never remember to pick you up when they're taking everyone else's trash away.

FELIPE NO

You're a car alarm on a 12 year old Honda Civic, driven by a college student that hasn't vaccuumed out your upholstry since he bought you. $2000, sitting on someone's lawn. It was obvious you haven't moved from your spot in some time, the grass was six inches long under you.

The struts will need replacing soon. I don't know how that kid is going to afford it.

GameInfarcer, you're a new construction in a subdivision on the outskirts of a small town, forclosed on by the bank because your previous owners bought you at a price well above their means, and they used a predatory loan to try to hold on to the American Dream. Your materials are sub-par. You will not last for longer than twenty or thirty years. Your kitchen faucet already doesn't have hot tap water. The bank isn't desperate to get rid of you, since the market is so bad there would be no way they can get a good price. You will stand vacant for almost a year.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Infarcer, you're a mirror covered in rhinestones and shaped like a heart, in which a fat gothic girl uses to apply her cakey make-up.

She also uses you to examine her vagina.

Your face has never been cleaned before.

In dealing with tremendous difficulties in living as of late I have found that having a church + God believing family & friends a source of refuge and stregnth.

In my Christian experience I haven't stood alone in my life. Not only do I have people who currently stand with me using the same play book (the bible), I also have histories of past believers and their legacy passed on to me.

Can the nonchristians here say the same?

I expect the jews and the muslims also find solace in their religious texts as well. Even atheists can find strength in their families and friends, and past people to which the atheist feels a deep sense of respect towards.

Nigger, please.

Isn't this LordSwords guy the one who thinks people who aren't religious can't depend on the support and love of their family, and that jews don't find solace in their religious books?

gues so.

fucking :jokemode: over here.

No, I'm fairly certain that absense of evidence is not evidence of absense.

If you can't make the argument without relying on this, the argument is too stupid to survive. Sorry!

I was speaking idiomatically.
