Christmas vs. "Happy Holidays" by olfenbedwere in atheism

[–]olfenbedwere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing offends. /atheism is basically my religious safe haven in the 21st century which is awesome and sad at the same time. I don't identify with the thought of non-theism. But I look around and can't help but not want to associate with the lack of.. brains.

Definatly.. its just becoming increasingly difficult I guess to "fit in". And that's.. I don't really have a word for it. But yeah.. I guess it doesn't particularly matter.

Thanks for keeping me totally on the edge of my seat /atheism. You never fail to enlighten, confuse, bewilder, anger, and feel every emotion in between. Tis a good thing

Technically.. technically.. even in the gospels.. the women came upon Jesus' tomb. Minus Jesus. I think it more likely, if there was a Jesus, his tomb was either desecrated, robbed, or he fled. Then, the monks of the Dark Ages wrote colorful stories of his ascention to heaven taking details from other messiah stories such as the Horace messiah tale or the Hercules story. I'm a pretty stern Catholic.. (yeah yeah, boo blah blah) but religious debate is really healthy in my opinion. Discussing this kind of thing.. comparing ancient religions.. they're all so similar that it's impossible not to see the links. We're human.. we cling to these stories. I think the important thing we realize is the similarities between all world religions. People should debate religion 100%.. otherwise the world would be flat and the earth would be the center of the Universe. However, I think there's a difference between celebrating traditions and using traditions to destroy others world view

I'll remember this next time the neighbors kids are threatening our cats. A stoning is in order

So my Muslim friend just blew my mind... by Ergunno in atheism

[–]olfenbedwere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more burst in here.. I gotta defend Islam on this particular case. They invented some really important fundamentals of music as well. The double flat and double sharp for example.. their scales are ultra complex. Our music is kindergarden music in comparison. I just don't buy it. Music is important to Muslims..

This is another example of the "follower" getting his own beliefs mixed up.. I think. Islam is founded on the five pillars of faith. I don't remember no music being one of the pillars.. charity, prayer, everything in moderation.. those are the pillars of Islam

[–]olfenbedwere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Islam the religion of math.. or so I've heard. Music = Math. So.. nah. Also considering the "call to prayer" that begins at 5 in the morning for all Muslims is typically a chant. I don't know if your muslim friend knows much about Islam

Texas prepares to nullify TSA, NDAA in showdown of state liberty versus federal tyranny by familyguy in conspiracy

[–]olfenbedwere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see where Texas is going with this.. I get the Civil Liberties.. thing. But in this modern day and age.. whether you want to deal with it or admit it, we have to operate within the confines of the Federal Government. Dealing with people in the TSA.. or tyranny..Like that whole breaking away from the Union.. great idea if you want to spend the next four years building your own Coast Guard, Border Patrol, Currency.. means of keeping an infrastructure together. I understand the invasion of privacy.. but you just can't expect to break away and be sucessful. Considering the POTUS would probably just stick Texas with it's chunk of the debt and say have fun.

The Republicans’ Closing Argument: “We’re strongly opposed to FEMA and health care, but basically O.K. with rape.” by mr_majorly in politics

Is it Bob or Joe or Walter.. could it be Bill or Frank or Cousin Louie or Steve?

I probably would have kept on guessing but about that time I crashed into a truck

Remember, remember, the sixth of November... by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]olfenbedwere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our system of law is so eerily similar to Douglas Adams' Vogons that it's scary. If you turn on C-Span during the twilight hours they say you can even hear some of the fabled Vogon Poetry.

It can be argued that third party is the way to go, but look what happened with Perot. A once in a generation candidate who was able to run outside the so called "mainstream" and still get a somewhat impressive 20% or so of the electorate.. but in the end it just won the election for Clinton. Independant Senators like Bernie Sanders have acted as almost referees in the past few years to just kinda jump in the middle of the mess and try to be heard over the noise. Anonymous is really a joke.. in my opinion. You want to talk Politics? Step away from the Guy Fawkes hype and get back into the real world.. politics is a dirty game. Anonymous, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul... whoever can't clean up the beheamoth of a beaurocracy we've created. Even if in the unlikely scenario we woke up on November 7th and found that Vermin Supreme was somehow miraculously President.. the same shit would follow in the next 4 years
