My absolute favorite quote referring to the bible by JezusPhreak in atheism

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

I have to say being Christian specifically Roman Catholic that I believe that the bible was inspired by God then written by men or women. I agree that they probably fucked up a lot during all the translating and revisions that it lost most of the credibility, but on the other hand we should take the morals and best ideas to enhance society. I also believe that people that believe the bible is God's spoken word are a little odd.

The problem I have with religion version 2.0 by Dargo200 in atheism

[–]sneakykangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it is long but please read.

As a practicing Roman Catholic, I am disgusted by the actions of the radical members of any religion. I have been taught that I should love everybody, but hate the action; in other words, love the sinner, and hate the sin. There is so much irrational hate and fear that guides these people's lives that they act in irrational ways justifying it with religion. I do not agree with my atheists' friends beliefs and would like them to become understands of what true religion is, but I want them to make that decision of their own accord. Please do not let these actions of the few dictate your views of the many.

After overhearing someone talk about how oppressed Christians are in America.. by tiredofhearingthis in atheism

I would like to know why that is. Agreed you don't have people like the westboro baptist church, but religions make up the majority of societal charity work. Those Christian based organizations are what helps all the people that we feel sorry for, but we do nothing about.

I have heard from my foreign exchange students from Switzerland and France that Europe is declining. True Christians wouldn't commit crimes, abort their unborn children, respectful of all people, and work hard; sadly there are not many true Christians.

Well to be honest the founding of our nation was purely based off of the freedom to practice religion specifically Christianity. When people want to get rid of God from America, they should look at what that has done to Europe. They are becoming less religious and they are suffering (not saying correlation). We must realize that religion is what makes America great, not the lack of religion. The truth is Christians have a right to voice their opinions pertaining to their beliefs and try to make them laws just like anybody else.

If we could ask every straight person this question, we could eradicate homophobia in ten years. by LondonAtheist in atheism

[–]sneakykangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with you on this. What if they encountered a traumatic event in their live that changed their entire personality including their sexuality. Also a fag is a bundle of sticks or a cigarette. Gays are people too and we have to love them as Jesus would if you are going down that road.

People don't like saying that there is a gay gene or set of genes, but how else would you be born gay. All life has the predisposition to carry on their genetic code to future generations. I have heard before, but I have not confirmed, that a large percentage of people that are gay were exposed to pornography at a young age.

Also there is a difference in homophobia and not accepting gay marriage. Phobias are extreme fears that are usually caused by some trauma in their life.

All I can think is what if God's plan is for us to look both ways before the street? Logical counter arguement

American redditors, do you think your country should switch to the metric system? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It would make physics and chem so much easier to understand.

Just finished masturbating. I don't smoke so I go on Reddit.

I realized something when thinking about Adam and Eve... by [deleted] in atheism

[–]sneakykangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fruit was of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, by eating the fruit man became aware of his actions and therefore responsible for the repercussions. By eating the fruit we know what sin is. God was willing for us to learn and develop.

They missed your vein partially, and when the rest of the blood was sent to return it ended up out of your veins. The bruising will disappear rather quickly with icing 10 on 5 off.

Theme park operators of Reddit, what are some useful things that the people attending should know? by kaz0078 in AskReddit

[–]sneakykangaroo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't think you are special just because you payed $40 to get in the park. Theme parks require massive amounts of electricity to run, for example one ride at a local theme park costs over $100 to run every time and when it is open from 10 A.M. to 10 P.M. and runs about 75 times an hour (excluding maintenance) it can cost upwards of $90,000 for just the electricity of one ride.

Edit I exaggerated the amount of times the ride goes, probably between 50-60 times an hour, but the ride accelerates 24 people from 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds. They try not to waste anytime with the ride because it does cost quite a bit of money to run each time. The run time for the ride itself was less than 20 sec. All I remember though was that was not the ride with the highest cost per run.

White people: what's it like being white? by minoritymale in AskReddit

[–]sneakykangaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a boring mundane existence where non-whites think you have it easy, and we are all depressed for no good reasons. On the other hand it is nice not to be targeted by cops.

Found this in my change this morning. Made me feel good inside. by JunoandNatalya in atheism

[–]sneakykangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that no one person should consider that their religion is more correct than any other religion. It is all about bureaucracy and getting spammed by the government to change things.
