“I would rather believe Lady Hope.”
Sure you would. Not because of any evidence,but pure emotional load.

“ Granted, it is entirely possible that she may have lied,”
SEveral witnesses testified that she lied.

“but given that she was a staunch Christian, I don't think she would have for fear of facing an eternity of hellfire.”
Ever think that MAYBE she lied about that, too? About being staunch in her faith?
Do you even know which Christain faith she practiced? Might be one you consider heretical. MIGHT be one that accepts lying if it’s for Jesus.

“Like Jack Phillips before her, Kim Davies chose persecution over capitulation.”
As clerk, Kim’s job is to ensure that marriage license applications meet the state’s laws. Not her religious beliefs. She chose persecution over DOING HER FUCKING JOB.

“She was told that her religious beliefs could not supersede the authority of the court.”
Yes, this is a secular nation. Laws of the land exist exactly because we have many different religious beliefs living side by side, hers do NOT take precedence.

“As Bay Area Guy reminded me recently, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was quite right when he said that Americans are slavish in their devotion to the law instead of morality and personal ethics.”
If she honestly felt that she could not do the job,she should have quit. Using her superstition for her secular government job is not the moral position. She shouldn’t have run in the first place.

“This should not surprise us in the least as a Marxist society worships the state and considers its law holy scripture.”
No, that’s fascism, not Marxism. Do try to keep up.

“Marxists hate God because the State is a jealous god.”
Not at all. Marxists hate religion. God doesn’t seem to be much of an influence in any way.

“Women who race, mix”
Both?

“men to for that matter too,”
Then why didn’t you just open with ‘Humans who race, and mix.’?

“can never come back again their attraction to other races is a mental illness”
Okay, that’s not true at all. My wife,and four of my top ten favorite playmates, are black. Five of the other six are white. One Japanese. I can appreciate and feel attraction to women of any race. It’s not a mental check-valve.

“just like the women who feel its not a bad thing to kill their unborn children because they don't think its a child.”
Okay to kill a child because it’s not a child? What an odd, odd sentence.

“Those women make me sick they make good women look bad.”
How? I mean,how do you know that there ARE good women if the bad women make them look bad?
You can distinguish the two groups, clearly, but suddenly they blur?
Oh, maybe you’rejust a misogynist.

"I don't need a man to tell me I am beautiful or worth anything I know that on my own”
Slight error on both, bitch.

“ and I am a second generation racist”
Wow. Batman couldn’t make me admit that if i were…

“my children are aware I will never have nigglet grand children my children know better.”

“SO ON ONE LEVEL ALL SINNERS ARE HOMOSEXUALS TO SOME DEGREE”
That’s not a dungeon level I want my characters to explore.
How… How does this work? God’s the one who made me straight. But Adam and Woman sinned. That makes me a sinner. but somehow a mistake made 6000 years ago makes me …gay. Just a little bit.
That doesn’t make any sense.

“PERHAPS AS THE 3 DEGREES OF SIN IN LUKE 12″
Are you one of those creationists who insist you can ignore it if a scientist uses ‘perhaps,’ because they’re not sure?

“BUT PERHAPS THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO FLAUNT THEIR HOMOSEXUALITY AS BEING BETTER THAN HETER....”
Better than Heter! I can see that as a t-shirt.

“ARE ONES WHO KNOW AND DO EVIL AND ARE THUS CONDEMNED TO BE CASTE AMONG THE UNBELIEVERS”
There are unbeliever castes? Oooh! Can I be an untouchable? I has the ticklish issue.

“i think people that crusade against the religious have zero positive input to society ..”
Well,if they crusade against the religious BECAUSE they’re religious, maybe.
What if they crusade against tax dodgers like Kent Hovind, Because he’s a tax dodger?
What if they crusade against God being mentioned on the currency because it’s against the constitution?
What if they crusade against people teaching religious superstitions in science classes because it’s a lie and unconstitutional and illegal?

“theyre just looking for someone to blame and fixing nothing ..”
I dunno. Hovind went to jail.
ID consistently loses in court.

“pathetic, worthless pieces of human trash is about how i perceive them”
Well,you’re a credulous, superstitious idiot who doesn’t know how anything actually works, so who cares what you perceive?

“The good reason for anti-Black miscegenation laws is that Black DNA is effectively a genetic pollutant.”
Pretty sure that the miscegenation legislation was established well before any discovery identified DNA. So, no, this isn’t a justification for the laws.

“Blacks are a blight on society and a drain on the economy.”
Yes, that’s why y’all imported so many, to ruin the South’s economy. And then committed treason to make sure the Southern economy depended on them… Sure, sure.

“The fewer the better.”
Then MAYBE shouldn’t have had slaves that the slave owners could rape. Just saying…

“Diluting their presence by mixing it with White genes is simply spreading the problem around.”
Okay, pick one. ARE we increasing their spread or are we diluting it?
And, yes, the one drop rule. Of course, if you’d decided that one drop of WHITE blood made them white, then whites would not face a looming minority status, would they?

I really don’t care. I was a science-fiction nerd in central Idaho. Already a minority.
I joined the military,making me a minority in the population.
I joined submarines, making me a minority in the military.
I worked on nuclear weapons. WAY small minority.
Well, if whites are minority, I’ll hope my kids will protect me from abuses.

“And I believe no more in the right to breed with whoever you wish”
Yeah, not believing in other people’s rights worked SO well when California voted against gay marriage…

“So explain this to me.”
SOmehow, I doubt the sincerity of your request…

“ He [God] can crush you or nurture you depending on whether you do what he says,”
Really? Because most Christains I’ve ever seen are insistent that THEY have the only religion that God approves. the Pope, the president of LDS, Joel Osteen,and Pat Robertson can’t ALL be doing ‘what He says.’
And that’s not even counting Hindu, Shinto, Islam, and whatever that screaming mutant on the Quad is talking about.
And none of them are ‘crushed’ for not doing ‘what he says.’

“and your answer is to say 'why should I?!?'”
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, you don’t really spend much time on the benefits of following your God in the appropriate way, just straight to the threat. GOD WILL CRUSH YOU! But it’s historically kind of an empty threat.
Sure, Ghouls are quick to point to any disaster and say, “God did that because you touch yourself!” But I don’t really see a connection.

“like a petulant four-year-old asking why he should do what his parents say?”
my parents are real. At four they were constants in my life. They fed me and spanked me and I understood our relationship quite clearly.
THIS is more like ‘Eat your broccoli or President Nixon will invade Wakanda!’
Why should I credit the threat?

The point here is “Jews think gentiles are subhuman”. “and this is what you are - an animal. A lowly beast. Goyim.” - The Comjewnists are not including themselves here.
(For some reason, many alt-righters think that goyim means “cattle”. That this is very easily debunked says so much about their intellectual capacities.)

Why does Marx speak with a thick phonetic accent, when no other German, nor Jew, nor anyone of any other nationality or ethnicity for that matter, seems to do - not even Hitler, who famously spoke German with that trademark hideous harsh screeching accent that foreigners think German actually sounds like in public (it was to cover up his native Austrian accent)?

@Zinnia #261429
Some variations of this are used by awful people to try to make the point that everyone is as rotten as them, they’re just honest about it in a way most people aren’t.
Tats seems to be portraying Marx et al as being these sorts of awful people, attempting to make their point in the worst possible way…

Each of them is, according to TatIsh, sort of like the Joker who has not yet had Batman say to him “What were you trying to prove? That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone!”?

I just did a quick little Google search, and hmm, interesting…it seems that Nile Rodgers (guitarist, producer, co-founder of the band Chic, extremely influential to disco and just music in general) calls himself a “secular humanist”…as does Labi Siffre, who’s music isn’t totally “disco” really, but R&B or soul and stuff. Listen to his song ”I Got The..” and at about 2:12 into it you might hear something very familiar, lol.

“I was tired of having nakedness shoved in my face every time I walked into a gym to train,” Parsons claims. “I had to choose between honoring the Lord, honoring my wife, and guarding my eyes, or training my body. So I quit four gyms.”

Here’s a weird, crazy idea: How about going to the gym and working out and stuff and then continuing to go about your married life as normal, despite the female “nakedness shoved in your face”? I mean, I don’t go the gym and I’ve never been married either, but I’m guessing that’s what the majority of men in that situation do. Or, even better, take your wife to the gym with you, then you can lust after each other and maybe have hot sweaty sex afterward ;)

Which just seems to be trying to paint Jews and communists as being nihilistic as a philosophy/group while fascist beliefs and philosophy frequently are heavily influence by nihilistic thought and in part influence why they view people in such low light.

…Here’s what I think Tats is intending with this, but I might be wrong. There’s a very broad concept, sometimes called “Who you are in the dark”, which has many different versions.

The original (or at least I think it’s the original) is “What would you do, if you knew you would never be found out?” which is usually intended to be a philosophical self-reflection. What the answer you come up with might say about the parts of you that you don’t usually examine. I don’t think this one applies here, as it seems that the people being portrayed as doing this aren’t making it about themselves and wish it to be known that they did it.

Another version is “How far would you go, if survival is on the line?” which may be used the same way as the above, but is more often used to point out that you can’t know for sure until you face such a situation, particularly if your life has always been relatively comfortable and safe. Clearly, this woman went very far (or was very lucky) and is willing to do even more, so there’s an element of that here.

And then there’s “Who would you be, if all illusions were stripped bare?” This has many different variations, depending on what the questioner thinks are the “illusions” which society, or civilization, or malign forces, or aliens, forces upon everyone. Some variations of this are used by awful people to try to make the point that everyone is as rotten as them, they’re just honest about it in a way most people aren’t. Tats seems to be portraying Marx et al as being these sorts of awful people, attempting to make their point in the worst possible way… and perhaps by extension, that all Jews would try to do the same, given the chance.

Jeff Hambrecht and Mitch Parsons #crackpot #fundie #sexist

Let’s say that this is only for 100% straight men whose main problem is that, under certain situations, they’re too distracted by women existing in their general vicinity to function properly. Let’s also say that either these are the only men who show up, or any other men who do are basically irrelevant.

This doesn’t solve the problem. It normalizes whatever neuroses they have which contribute to their situation, and also gives whatever pent-up sex drive they have even less outlet to be expressed, which may result in it being expressed more frequently or more inappropriately in other environments.

Now there are people who can subsume their sex drive into other, unrelated activities, but not everyone can do that, and there’s some evidence that this may not be psychologically healthy (or at least, that it might matter a great deal how and why you’re doing it). It might actually help a little if you also trained those men to subsume their sex drive into exercise, but that would still be a questionable practice.

Surrree… the Nazis totally didn’t do horrible things, like the Holocaust or the shit Oskar Dirlewanger and his band of nihilistic monsters did or the reported and or even confirmed instances of cannibalism done by the Imperial Japanese ontop of their other horrid behavior during the war and the Axis was totally the victims…

did the allies do some horrific shit, definitely, but the Axis did more and far worse.

"Suddenly, it dawned on me... I realized that the engineers crossed a line with God with this statement,”
No, they did not.
God is omniscient, right? SO he knows exactly how they meant that, IF they said it. He also knows the opinions and piety of every single person on board. I doubt that all that many of them were that arrogant.

Frankly, they crossed a line with YOU. YOU are a petty little snowflake, and if YOU had absolute power, and someone challenged your absolutenessisity, you’d have no problem killing 1500 so that the 700 survivors would regret it. Thus, YOUR GOD is a petty little snowflake.
Even though he is omniscient. It’d make a much better story if two she-bears showed up when the Titanic was halfway across the sea, and tore up the builder. That’d DEFINITELY be God’s handiwork.

"I think it was the direct, personal mocking of God that brought this disaster about.”

Well, this satanist over here did not preach shit when she had a couple of homeless folks around the parking lot last fall.

Patriarch Kirill #fundie #psycho #wingnut

At the start of the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathar heresy in 1209, when Crusaders were ready to attack the French town of Béziers and wondered how to differentiate between filthy heretics and good Christians, the papal legate in command, Arnaud Almaric, told them: Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.

Translation: "Kill them. The Lord knows those that are his."

Don't worry about separating the innocent from the guilty. Send them all to God. He doesn't care.

David J Stewart #fundie #crackpot

Sadly, many apostate religious groups today such as the Salvation Army have compromised their convictions, spending most of their time helping the needy at the expense of preaching the truth

Question: search how many people come to worship at Salvation Army churches and compare it to yours.

Simply put, there’s a reason why Christian missionaries often operated hospitals and schools: ten to one that plenty of natives converted not because of complicated theological courses but because they saw their good deeds and wanted to sign for the beliefs which grew such good fruits.

“Unbelieving parents do not have a covenant with God”
Okay. I’m atheist, other parents are not Christains, so we don’t have a covenant with your god. Works for me.
Also, anyone who claims to be Christain,but isn’t in your particular faith doesn’t have the same covenant,do they? I mean, i assume you’re Baptist, so you think Catholics and Mormons are going to Hell, right?

“and are in his disfavor. Their children would not be under a "spiritual blanket" and would face the same punishment as their parents.”
Ah. So that solves the Abortion problem. Anyone who’s not in your exact religion is going to Hell, with their kids, so aborting them has no effect except they get to Hell sooner.
Glad to have this cleared up.

“Having knowledge that there is no god is quite delusional”
I reallydon’t think that ‘knowledge’ is or can be delusional.
Being convinced there’s no god may be, but KNOWLEDGE is a bit more of a fact,innit?

“in of itself. No one can claim such truth”
Yes, they can. String the words together,speak them out loud, maybe write them on a wall? You can CLAIM anything.

“and anyone who does claim such truth is delusional.”
Ah. So you have objective evidence of one or more gods, then?

“However, those saying that there is a god are not delusional since many would claim that god has spoken to them through prayer.”
SOME PEOPLE hear a voice in their head, that’s how you know NO ONE with that opinion is delusional?
Do you know what words mean?

“And who can argue with prayer?”
Apparently, everyone. Because for every god mankind worships, someone has heard from that god(dess) and is convinced he or she is realio trulio.

You’re sure he was THAT sweeping? ALL theists are unstable?

“We got into a discussion in the break room, and the subject came up to God, and he knows I am a Christian. He said 'How can you believe in something you have never seen before... you don't even know that God exists.

Ah. Can’t answer the question, attack the questioner.

“ I said 'And by that token, you can't prove Christopher Columbus existed, because you've never seen him.”
Well, no. To use his words, you should have ASKED how he knows Columbus existed. And he’d tell you.

“He just rolled his eyes and said 'Anybody with a brain cell... even you can't tell me he didn't exist. Everybody knows he left Spain and discovered the New World.”
Um, no, I really doubt that’s what he said. I thinkthis conversation took place in your mind.
He would have listed the corroborating evidence, the numerous accounts, and the impact on history, not anonymous accounts by ‘eyewitnesses’ sixty to seventy years after the events.

“I just smiled and said 'But you don't know for sure.”
But we do. The historicity of Columbus is not in doubt.
And you never answered the question.

“You're just going by what the history books have said unless you see it for yourself, there is no way you can prove it. Those were your exact words' .”
Your chance to tell him what convinced you and you pretend that his history is as subjective as your superstition.

“He didn't like me putting his own words back to him, so he just left and didn't speak to me for the rest of the day.”
Yeah, no. You made a completely invalid comparison.
And I think this is all stuff you WISH you’dsaid in the break room…
