So, that's what this is all about.  

I've always said that's what it was about, parents indoctrinating their kids.  Luckily I was intelligent enough to break free from the absolutely stupid ass beliefs that you idiots cling onto for life.

Oh and to our asshole mod, don't come here trying to give some speech about how I've forced you to ban me.  Just do it you pathetic asshole.   I have no intentions of ever visiting this crappy little site again.

The second paragraph is totally unnecessary and simply makes you an intolerable asshole. Knock it off. 

Yeah but you're totally fine with people comparing my comments to Hitler's beliefs or blatantly taking what I said and twisting in into something else.  

If you're not going to chastise that person publicly, then don't try doing it with me.  Also, if you're free to call me an asshole then right back act you buddy.  You're one of the most stuck up self important assholes on this site.

You stated the world would be a better place if everyone fell in step with your beliefs of how things should be. You leave no space for free thinking, in your better place.  
Would you close all the the places of worship spaces? How far would things need to go for you to feel your right has overcome the wrong?

Accepting facts isn't exactly falling "in step" with a belief system, it's simply an acceptance of reality.  The more people accept the world around them and how they came to be, the less likely they would be to believe in silly fairy tales that cause them to engage in hate and violence towards others who don't accept their falsehoods.  

But hey, you enjoy church this weekend, be sure to try the grape juice and crackers.  I used to love those when my parents would force me to go to church with them when I was 12. 

One of the many great things a belief in god has given us.

Hitler had a similar view of the Jews.

Wait, what?

If you could, would you prevent or ban people from believing what they want to believe, even if it's not the thing you yourself believes?

I've always claimed, even in this thread, that people can believe whatever they want.  I've also said that I'm not obligated to keep my mouth shut when they spew nonsense.

But see, I've already qualified my statement with "as long as". So I'm covered.

In your scenario, someone ending up in Congress and governing from specific religious beliefs do pick my pocket, at the very least, so you're right, that's not OK. But if my neighbor down the street wants to believe whatever he wants to believe, that is fine—so long he doesn't use it to pick my pocket or break my leg.

I guess I'm just someone who thinks the world would be in a much better place if people believed in facts and evidence rather than 2,000 year old fairy tales.  That doesn't apply to only politicians or the neighbor down the street but essentially everybody over the age of 12.

Which is fine, let them believe what they want, as long as it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

But see, it's not fine, that's the problem.  Some of these people end up in Congress and use their ridiculous beliefs and fairy tales to try to govern how the rest of us are allowed to live our lives.  

As the scientific evidence continues to grow in support of the Big Bang, the church will end up doing exactly what they did with evolution.   They'll say that people are free to believe whatever they want but to remember that whatever happened, it was god's work.  We could end up with indisputable proof of the Big Bang and the religious flock would say that it was god who lit the fuse.  

Just another example of Biden's weaponized DOJ I guess.  

4th and 2 with two minutes left and only 1 timeout and the Steelers throw it deep and don't come close to a completion.  Might be the stupidest decision in the NFL this season.

Two short handed goals or three?

Two

Hahaha this is so stupid.  

3 goals in 39 seconds????

Holy crap, Wings are pouring it on in the second.  

Vivek committed the names of a few provinces in Ukraine to memory before the debate and really wanted to prove that he was smarter than everyone else because of it.  

This debate is outstanding.......lol!

Were we looking at the same BR page? On what basis should he have gotten MLB time?

I would say his stats over the last couple of years are better than many relief pitchers.  

Calvin Coker seems to have stats good enough to at least have some MLB experience, why has he never been called up?  

To go from being Speaker to quitting in disgrace in a matter of a few months is pretty impressive.  In a complete failure sort of way, but still, impressive.  

What I've noticed that's really annoying is literally any criticism of Israel being called antisemitism.   If a person says Israel is wrong for the way it is executing this war, that's not antisemitism.  If a person says Israel is wrong for stealing land and kicking people out of their homes, that's not antisemitism.  If someone says Palestinians have a right to a homeland, that's not antisemitism.  And lastly, the example a couple posts up is most certainly not antisemitism.  

Wings just trying to make it exciting for the fans.  So nice of them to think of us.  

Wings are looking good so far, hopefully they keep it rolling.

They have the right to spew it and you have the right to not read it. Bitching about what others believe and about them expressing it definitely gives off a “chip on the shoulder” vibe.  Your unwillingness to simply be exposed to something you won’t agree with or like is what is closed minded. 

Dude, you mock people more than anyone on this site.  I don't care in the least that you're triggered by me mocking your beliefs.  You can either deal with it or find somewhere else to hang out.
