(18,219 posts)I never thought of it that way, but that is pretty arrogant.
Love it!

(50,566 posts)(seriously, that is a rough estimate of the number), OURS is the most special of all, and our one species is the most special out of any that have ever lived anywhere, and those of us who are humans in the last 2,000 years are the main focus of the Omniscient Omnipotent One!

(9,356 posts)From Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis:
Even ferrum candens ad clitoridom had no effect in overcoming the practice, and she masturbated with the cassock of a priest while he was exhorting her to reformation.
(Near as I can tell, being unprivileged in both Latin and medicine, "ferrum candens ad clitoridom" meant cauterizing the clitoris.)
Well, whatever we think of the young lady's morality, I think we have to admire her gumption and stick-to-it-iveness.

(9,116 posts)... selling his religion, with his two small children in tow. I opened the door, the children thrust a couple of flyers into my hands.
The minister then introduces himself. He's a pleasant enough fellow, but after he finishes telling me who he is and what he does for a living he asks me, "Have you thought about where you're going to spend eternity."
Now, I'd say I'm a fairly impassioned antitheist. While I am told this makes me "just as bad" as the guy knocking on my door, threatening me with hellfire while effectively using his children as human shields against the salvo of sciency shit I normally dispense upon such malefactors, it occurs to me that I have never gone door to door to talk to people about atheism, or handed out invitations to atheist organizations or free atheist tracts, or, least of all, spoke authoritatively about where one may or may not end up after death as a means to sell my personal philosophy to others.
But I'm the arrogant one.

(9,116 posts)...is to never say anything critical of religion, I could see how my behavior would be problematic. I guess I am kind of jerk, now that I think about it. Sometimes, I wish I was more mediocre. Then I could just go with the flow and never open my mouth at all.
