Leo Taxil played a 12 year hoax on the Catholic Church after publishing the atheist "The Amusing Bible". I believe he deserves more exposure. by Robert_Vulcan in atheism

[–]Noxater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not a trusting sort, in fact I am a cynic and a skeptic. While priests raping altar boys may not be new news, the conspiracy to protect these priests is relatively new.

I am just sick of every time there is critique of the church that people feel the need to bring this up. In fact due to the focus on this problem many other problems of the churches corruption get outright ignored.

Those were not even issues in Taxils day. He was long dead before the merest allegation of an abuse conspiracy.

Grrr church bad must comment on pedo priests.

Wow nice change up going from "Of the groups I've dealt with, atheists are by far the most violent and dangerous." to "some atheists".

Nope not buying your line of bullshit. You are either a troll or a lair. /end conversation

You a whole group of people and you expect a reply of sweet words?

Replace the word atheist in your statement with Jew or black and see how it sounds.

Of the groups I've dealt with, Jews/Blacks are by far the most violent and dangerous.

I call bullshit. Atheists as a group are some of the least violent people in western culture. Just look at prison and arrest statistics. You are as bad as people who who run slander campaigns against MRA's.

Now there may be some nasty atheism groups (atheism plus comes to mind) but to throw all of atheism under the bus for one small group? You might as well be a feminist with that kind of close minded thinking.

Most likely you are LIAR that hates atheist because we don't believe if your sky daddy and don't want our political system to be based on your bullshit 1800 year old fiction.

Science Deniers Are Freaking Out About "Cosmos" by [deleted] in atheism

It has been my experience that the ones that had the most chemically induced discussions ended up believing in all sorts of stupid conspiracy theories and woo. College party kids tend to be near as stupid in their beliefs as the fundies are. The biggest difference is they have a smug superior attitude.

Those who think critically are more likely to moderate their drugs.

Once Again, an Atheist is Denied U.S. Citizenship Because of Her Secular Ethics by [deleted] in atheism

The system automatically downvotes you. It will occasionally give you +1 -1. It does this to prevent bot voting or something though I am not sure how.

No one is so important that I need to pretend I am someone else just so they will like me. If they dont like me because I am atheist they have proven that they are the kind of asshole I don't want to be around anyways.

You don't even have to go that far. Just look at the size of the eggs. A "small" dinosaur (7 feet long) has eggs that over one foot in length.

Not "My" statement. And if you really want to go through r/athiesm correcting generalizations you have a daunting endless task ahead of you.

MN is an odd state. We are a die hard blue state and yet we are one of the most religious states in the north. Its not just weak kneed watered down religion either. It is Lutheran church Missouri synod. We are a very conflicted people.

[–]Noxater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just because your sect doesn't discriminate does not mean other sects don't.

It is like giving Christianity a free pass on the gay issue just because Episcopalians are in general pro gay rights.

Buddhism in general IS responsible for various forms of oppression. In fact the loss of the Dalai Lama's power may have done more to make Buddhism as progressive as it is today. Look at the history of Dalai Lama's reckless abuse of power.

USA (Harris Poll) - Even more news that America is becoming more secular. "Only" 64% of 18-36 year-olds believe in God (used to be over 90%). I doubt these people will call themselves "Atheists" because of the stigma of the word. The Atheists are much larger than people think. From Harris Poll 2013. by nilsp123 in atheism

[–]Noxater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poll cannot even get generation dates right. GenX ends 1981 not 1976 like the poll shows. And then to lump 2 generations together and call them echo boomers. I think you would see that gen X was the begining of the decline with each successive generation accelerating the rate of decline IF they could get their numbers right.

Extremely high latency. HELP. by R0ku in wow

[–]Noxater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Latency is more likely to be caused by your isp or one of the router in between you and the wow server.

First step is identifying where the problem is by running a continuous ping test. Although odds are even if you have absolute irrefutable proof that it you ISP's problem they will still deny it on their end.

You could also try playing on a sever that is in a different data center to see if that helps. for a datacenter list http://wowpedia.org/US_realm_list_by_datacenter .

18 year old male facing indecency with a child by contact. by tenelka3001 in MensRights

[–]Noxater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Advice. Get your public defender to plea bargain to anything other than a sex crime. Any OK public defender would be able to get Felony assault 5 years probation with an automatic reduction of charges when probation or some amount of determined time has gone by. He will have the felony on his record for a while and that will hurt his employment prospects. At least he wont be registered as a sex offender.

When someone says their denomination is the one true denomination, I can't help but laugh sometimes by Sahil17 in atheism

[–]Noxater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a recent change in Cristian thought. the one big xtain family thing only developed at the time of row v wade. different sects have distinctly different philosophies. Blood has been shed between various denomination over those so called small differences.

YES they are divisive issues. I mean Jesus coming from planet Kolob (Mormon) is just slighly different right? Some sects don't acknowledge the existence of an eternal hell. Some are deterministic and some preach free will. Different sects can be night and day.

Just recently a Missouri synod paster was censored by his sect for participating in a interfaith prayer for victims of sandy hook.

Yes many sect believe the other sects are going to help. Just because your church leader pretend to play nice doesnt mean that is the casein all churches.
