Lol thank you! I showed my cousin his and it brightened up her night, too. She really enjoyed it. You should check out this song.

Gawd, I miss that guy!

@Condor5 I do, too!

"Violence is never a solution!"

wink, wink; thumbs up

@stinkeye_a Not the answer... True...
But it sure as shit can be fun laying someone out who deserves it.
Haha

No, sometimes it IS the answer. This person has been allowed to do this with little to no repercussion (I would bet cash that he'd done that before). Stomping his ass and making damn sure he understood reactionary, hypocritical behavior like that would not be tolerated would send a message to more than just him. Bullies will bully as long as they are allowed.

@thekodiak33 There was a time I would have disagreed with you, that violence is never an answer. 'Christian ethics' has caused me to change that view, largely because of the argument you present.

An insecure compete cunt at that.

That's how religion in general sees it.

I'm a bastard - but that's because I love my god! It makes me a fine and upstanding supporter of my faith and its values. Aren't I wonderful?

Someone who worships another god is a bastard - that's because they are foul, sinful, corrupt pagans and (probably) terrorists at heart! Bet they're also a different skin colour from me, and they're actively trying to get into the US. Probably have sex with children too - but not, of course, in the 'nice and acceptable' way that people of my own faith have sex with children.

Someone tells me that I am a bastard - they're INFRINGING MY RELIGIOUS RIGHTS! How dare they? I demand my absolute right to morally judge, hurl abuse and threat, and generally be a cunt. Anyone who says I should actually be - well - nice to people must be a worshipper of the devil himself, or an atheist, or a scientist, or all three!

I wish your "theory" that Christianity doesn't change people was substantiated by facts but religion (not just Christianity) has been linked to brain health/state changes. I have spend hundreds of hours debating (teaching) Christians about the evils of their religion and can assure you for most, there is a great disability for them to process facts that contradict their faith based beliefs.

@NoMagicCookie By "change" I meant in the way it is used by religious people..for the better. As in, "I was saved and now I'm changed, and I love everyone and everything is great!"

@birdingnut I find your example of "change. . . . . for the better" to be for the most part unbelievable. I actively work to enlighten (free people from the nonsensical dogma of religion) and have successfully moved several from the darkness of superstition and fear to the light of truth and reason. All of those I moved (from Catholicism) into the light of no religion have thanked me many times and all of them have told me how much better the world is for them because they are now free to accept everyone. Each of them told me when they were Catholics, they were taught to be afraid of non-Catholics, as those that are not Catholic are not loved by god like god loves Catholics. Their church also taught them to fear and hate gays. By the indoctrination of the church, they were also taught to fear burning in hell forever. Several years ago NPR did a wonderful radio show that interviewed three mothers (on Native reservations) that lost their gay boys to suicide. In every event they spoke of how before the Catholic church came, their culture accepted being gay and their sons were welcome. After the church began it's preaching about how being gay was an abomination and god hates abominations, their boys were subjected to beatings by those (newly created Christians that were once their friends) I still remember one mother crying while she reflected on how her son was stripped naked and beaten with baseball bats for being gay. Thanks you Christianity. You can believe this to be too evil to be true, only second hand stories, but I have debated Catholics that openly advocate killing gays because their god hates homosexuals. I could continue with several other instances demonstrating the "change" as a not healthy event but I think you get the point. If not, please feel free to disagree with my examples as insufficient and I will give you a few more examples that demonstrate the "change" is not a positive factor. I can believe a new "Christian" claiming everything is great etc. but once you read the bible, and discover; to please your god you are obligated to - - - follow this link and learn how much LOVE the bible teaches.
