TOP TEN SIGNS YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN
10- You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god.
9- You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt
8- You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Trinity god
7- Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" -- including women, children, and trees!
6- You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5- You are willing to spend your life looking for little loop-holes in the scientifically established age of the Earth (4.55 billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by pre-historic tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that the Earth is a couple of generations old.
4- You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects -- will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet you consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving".
3- While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to prove Christianity.
2- You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1- You actually know a lot less than many Atheists and Agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history -- but still call yourself a Christian

Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transmited. Websites pay for a certain amount of bandwidth, usually per month. What you're doing is directly linking to images on another person's website. So essentially everytime that image is viewed, that website loses money. So it is considered very poor taste to directly link an image from somebody's site. Instead you should upload to a site that is designed for sharing images, like photobucket. You clearly know how to use photobucket, that's where your signature is, you should just use it more often.
Personally I don't think you should be posting this kind of shit in the first place, it's spam, and trollspam.
That is absoulte bullshit. I am making mine big again.
I block everybody's signature, have fun.

Sister Warrior,
Please don't take this as a personal attack, but rather a gentle suggestion from an avowed aesthete;
If you were to post a subtle and clever joke, phrase, cartoon, or original anectdote slamming religion and people of faith, you would almost surely garnish praise, commentary, and one or two spirited rebuttals.
As it is, you kicked the door wide open for angry criticism by posting no less than four trite & hackneyed laundry lists (cut and pasted from some other site no doubt), all at once. Replete with huge, garish jpg. images, most of which we've all seen before.
You were about as subtle as an elephant gun on a mouse hunt.
Thus the troll comment from Mike.
Wikipedia tells us: "In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding. They may also plant images and data on networks that others may find disturbing (usually indirectly relating to the individual in person) in order to cause confrontation. While not necessarily related to hacking, such a practice is against the Computer Misuse Act 1990, where mischief is caused in order to ensure chaos is spread."
No matter what definition you choose to believe, your behavior was definitely troll-like, boorish, and inappropriate.
Remember, less is more.

However this is not a christain site this is a debate message board and my debate is that Atheism and aganostics makes more sense because of the stuff I posted here.
I personally think this stuff is funny and I want to share it. IF you don't like it simply ignore the thread and let it die. A troll only has power if you give them power.
If I am a troll by your definition than perhaps you should ignore me and take away my power.

You are still missing the point, little sister.
Let's say you felt strongly about preserving the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker. (This is a marginally-endangered species, and trust me, your US Government is bending over backwards to make sure the little feathered rat has more rights, privileges, and food sources than the average homeless Los Angelino.)
What sort of advertising campaign do you think would have more impact?
a. You drive down the highway in a dirty, dented 1989 Toyota Tercel, covered from stem to stern with bumper stickers extolling the virtues of the red cockaded woodpecker. Examples include, “Red Cockaded Woodpecker; the other red meat” and “The US Government Kills Woodpeckers For Sport”. “Bush Hates Cock”. “Hell No, We Won’t Go (Down the Road Of Annihilation of the Red Cockaded Woodpecker).” Your shitty, oil-burning little car is literally a rolling billboard of shabby and haphazard advertising for the preservation of this noble little beaked and billed species.
or
b. You drive down the highway in a clean and simple automobile, and there is a single, simple, and sublime bumper sticker on the left rear of the carriage;
“save the red cockaded woodpecker”
Which advertising option is going to inspire more debate do you reckon?
Which approach is going to have a bigger impact?
(Or more to the point) which approach is going to brand you as a kook and a nut-case?
Think about it.

A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender,
"If I show you a really good trick, will you give me a free drink?"
The bartender considers it, then agrees.
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat.
He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano.
The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues.
After the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender,
"If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the evening?"
The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly be better than the first.
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat.
He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano.
The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues.
The man reaches into another pocket and pulls out a small bullfrog, who begins to sing along with the rat's music.
While the man is enjoying his beverages, a stranger confronts him and offers him $100,000.00 for the bullfrog.
"Sorry," the man replies, "he's not for sale."
The stranger increases the offer to $250,000.00 cash up front.
"No," he insists, "he's not for sale."
The stranger again increases the offer, this time to $500,000.00 cash.
The man finally agrees, and turns the frog over to the stranger in exchange for the money.
"Are you insane?" the bartender demanded.
"That frog could have been worth millions to you, and you let him go for a mere $500,000!"
"Don't worry about it." the man answered.
"The frog was really nothing special.
You see, the rat's a ventriloquist."
A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day.
Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper.. "Hello?"
"Is your daddy home?" he asked. "Yes," whispered the small voice. “May I talk with him?" The child whispered, "No,"
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?" "Yes," "May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No,"
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?" "Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman".
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy" whispered the child. "Busy doing what?" "Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?" "A helicopter" answered the whispering voice. "What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, "The search team just landed a helicopter,"
Alarmed, concerned and frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle... "Me.”

Nobody is damning you, you silly woman.
It's a question of restraint is all.
Maybe the red cuckolded woodpecker was a bad analogy.
Let me try another;
Let's say that I attend a party.
I come in, am introduced, and then I go find the bar.
I sip my cocktail, and take my time making the rounds.
I join in on a few conversations, and by and large I listen more than I speak.
One of the ladies in a small crowd expresses hunger, so I go make her a small plate of appetizers, and I return with her plate and a knock knock joke:
"Knock Knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Thistle"
"Thistle who?"
"Thistle have to hold you until dinner's ready!"
Everyone laughs politely, and so the festivities go.
Later on after the party is over and the hosts are cleaning up, they comment on what a charming and affable fellow I was, and how nice it would be to have me over again, the sooner the better.
Different scenario:
Let's say that I attend the same party.
I come in, don't wait to be introduced, and I immediately offer one knock knock joke after another.
Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Yule.
Yule who?
Yule never know!
Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Vampire!
Vampire who?
Vampire state building!
People try to avoid me, but I am everywhere, and always with the knock knock jokes.
Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Costas.
Costas who?
Costas a fortune to get here.
Mayhem ensues, fistfights break out, drinks are spilled, and the roast is burned. Still, I am broadcasting the knock knock jokes. As I am finally ushered out the door by the angry hosts, I exclaim with dismay, "What? You people don't like knock knock jokes?"
Your hundred-gazzillion religious jokes and pictures at the start of this thread?
It's kind of like that.

There! It is SO good to see you finally grant them what they wanted so desperately.
See how easy it was.
All that is required of you for you to be considered passably "acceptable" is that you maintain constant contact of your lips and the asses of the Bible-believers, the pro-war folk, the flag-wavers and the rah-rah-go-America! crowd, and you can thus avoid trouble.
Do not ask uncomfortable questions of them; do not critique their ideology; do not post *bandwidth stealing* pictures that poke fun at their foibles and fantasies; do not ask or expect that they will explain inconsistencies in their thinking and in their superstitious beliefs ...... unless you are prepared to hear them loudly complain, call you a prostitute, deem you a horrid, unAmerican troll, and heatedly implore the authorities to arrange for your removal.

But the pertinent point was that so many on these boards were complaining so bitterly over what she was choosing to post and have taken actions such as calling her a prostitute, calling her a troll, griping about her "wasting bandwidth", instead of -if they didn't like the opinions she was forwarding - simply ignoring her and going on to another thread.

Which is probably why, Napster, they did not give in to the people slinging numerous criticisms at her and clamoring for her to be banned........(although she was handed a pretty stern warning).
But the pertinent point was that so many on these boards were complaining so bitterly over what she was choosing to post and have taken actions such as calling her a prostitute, calling her a troll, griping about her "wasting bandwidth", instead of -if they didn't like the opinions she was forwarding - simply ignoring her and going on to another thread.
I only seen 2 Christians, out of everyone asking her to stop.
Man, FT makes a good point, it only takes 2 Christians to come in and lay the law down.
God Bless America!
Oops, make that 3...

There! It is SO good to see you finally grant them what they wanted so desperately.
See how easy it was.
All that is required of you for you to be considered passably "acceptable" is that you maintain constant contact of your lips and the asses of the Bible-believers, the pro-war folk, the flag-wavers and the rah-rah-go-America! crowd, and you can thus avoid trouble.
Do not ask uncomfortable questions of them; do not critique their ideology; do not post *bandwidth stealing* pictures that poke fun at their foibles and fantasies; do not ask or expect that they will explain inconsistencies in their thinking and in their superstitious beliefs ...... unless you are prepared to hear them loudly complain, call you a prostitute, deem you a horrid, unAmerican troll, and heatedly implore the authorities to arrange for your removal. (It's the way that the system here in America works.)
Freethinker I am listening to vile because I do not want to cause him anymore grief he had defended me on more than a few occasions and been very fair.
I am not silencing my stance on religion because the christians or the right try to find reasons to ban me. I do it because I respect Vile and nothing more. I am glad to see that you see the harassment and them trying to find anyway possible to shut my voice.
Many people here see the truth and that is all I care about. I have made my point the thread is not taken down and I have not much more to say about the subject anyways so the job is done.
I do not think you are "on drugs" or the crap other people claim. I think you have a very good insight to the truth and are willing to fight for it.
Please understand that I am self censoring for respect of Vile not because I was threatened being banned.

You just cut and pasted a bunch of stuff. No real insight there, not really your 'voice'. I think the only point you really made is that atheists can be just as annoying and extreme as religious people. So... :thumbs:

Freethinker,
You just don't get it, do you. Warrior1972 is not the first poster to question the validity of Christian beliefs. She is not the first person to say she doesn't believe in the Christian religion. She is, however, the first person to do so in such a vile, hateful way. Even you at your worst have not been as bad as Warrior1972.

Freethinker,....
..... She is, however, the first person to do so in such a vile, hateful way. Even you at your worst have not been as bad as Warrior1972.
I disagree.
I consider this much worse than what anything Warrior1972 has ever posted:
"All that is required of you for you to be considered passably "acceptable" is that you maintain constant contact of your lips and the asses of the Bible-believers, the pro-war folk, the flag-wavers and the rah-rah-go-America! crowd, and you can thus avoid trouble.

Sure, Freethinker's diatribe is grammatically-correct (more or less), and is free of misspellings. And since it is exactly what we've come to expect from Brother Freethinker, perhaps we've begun to overlook his insidious and seditionist message:
(sic) All authority is bad, all Government is bad, (and whoo-whee Comrade Warrior-lady, I'm 100% behind you here), look what happens when you ask uncomfortable questions and challenge this website's Governmental authority.... the Godz-n-Gunz fascists will stomp in your face with their jackboots and call you a whore and a horrid, unAmerican troll!!
FT, do not brand Warrior1972 a weakling or a sell-out, just because she is showing a bit of restraint in response to Vile's fairness.
Does it bring you pleasure to play the instigator, and to whip her into an angry frenzy again?
Is that what you want? Somebody else around the joint who is just as angry and hateful as you?

Hi Darkfantasy, I see I posted right over you.
Glad to see that we are birds of a feather on this point, ma'am.

As a newbe stepping into this one :) with zip for history, (one does have to get their feet wet somewhere :) ) EEK!
Is this religion or philosophy? :)
Band width, if one includes God/Goddes could actually be interesting. Cool idea! On this measagebord does a fellow get his butt kicked if he just steps into the middle of something? It is ok you know :) just checking :)

Free thinker is not hateful perhaps angry at the injustices. Christians have defamated the Wiccan religion to the point of witch hunts and made it out to be that thier religous symble the pentagram is satanic. They are more than willing to condemn polytheist because it is agianst their gods laws but when the tables are turned they cry foul. Christians have had the monopoly of religion in this country far too long and now that it is losing popularity they begin to feel the uncomfotableness of not being the most popular religion anymore. More and more people are rolling thier eyes at Christianity and it is making them uncomfortable thus when someone calls out christianity they claim we "hate" christians and "troll"
It is a clear double standard. For example it ok for them to laugh at me for believe in evolution and call me an ape and other things but when I question thier god I am a troll. They can poke and make fun of my thoughts and ideas that are precious to me but oh when I question thier gods ethics and value I am a christian hater and basher. Ect and so on.
I do not hate Christians. I have made it perfectly clear that I have no problem with moderate christians. My husband is a moderate and we never fight about religion. He doesn't see my questioning about god killing people and mass murdering people as an insult to his faith because he is comfortable with his beliefs.
I do not preach hate against Christians. I do not say kill all christians or lock them away or that christians are beneath me. I simply question what the extremist belief that christianity is better than other religion or lack of religion. I question christian supremicy nothing more.
I find it funny because christians can preach hate against gays, call the sinners, say they will burn to hell, tell them they cannot attend thier churches openly gay but then don't call that HATE!! yet someone who says the exact same thing about thier religion is spreading hate.

Hi MrCooper! Thanks for the input it is appreciated.
Newbes are the life blood of a messageboard :) and they are way too much fun to pick on :) I love being a newbe! Everything is fraught with peril and the unknown. And sometimes you even make friends.
