She holds the same position as you.

She's also on record saying that atheists, if we didn't have believers to hate, would just "go back" to hating minorities, LGBTers, etc.

Such shameful behavior from your buddy.

What I've learned this week [View all] el_bryanto May 2014 OP

What I've learned this week (and pretty much every week since cbayer May 2014 #1

What I wish is that people like yourself, who are doing the exact same thing: trotsky May 2014 #2

Now you are arguing in favor of diversity? el_bryanto May 2014 #3

Well, you clearly don't want to hear from some points of view. trotsky May 2014 #4

I've listened to you plenty - I just disagree with you el_bryanto May 2014 #6

False trichotomy. trotsky May 2014 #7

And your assumption is that without your help I won't think el_bryanto May 2014 #8

Just giving you another point of view to consider. trotsky May 2014 #9

And there's no way to make your argument without calling believers dishonest or thoughtless el_bryanto May 2014 #10

For the record, once again: trotsky May 2014 #11

Intellectual Dishonesty isn't a form of Dishonesty? el_bryanto May 2014 #13

It is a form of dishonesty, it just isn't identical to "lying". Warren Stupidity May 2014 #17

Nope. trotsky May 2014 #18

You and Warren seem to disagree on this point- maybe you should talk to him el_bryanto May 2014 #24

I don't see any substantial disagreement. Warren Stupidity May 2014 #27

Sinners pay for their sins and then go to a place of glory according to their virtues el_bryanto May 2014 #29

I'm just wondering how long homosexuals are tortured in your world view. Warren Stupidity May 2014 #30

I couldn't give a definitive answer to that el_bryanto May 2014 #31

could be both Warren Stupidity May 2014 #32

Well it's more complicated than that el_bryanto May 2014 #34

Why does your god like to torture? Warren Stupidity May 2014 #67

Do you really think your god would torture you for those things? EvolveOrConvolve May 2014 #78

Well my experience with the non-believer community here at DU el_bryanto May 2014 #79

You maintain the internal contradictions well EvolveOrConvolve May 2014 #80

That's a belittling use of domestic violence. rug May 2014 #84

"the concept of dealing with your sins is more complicated" trotsky May 2014 #85

That's incredibly insulting el_bryanto May 2014 #86

It's insulting to ask how you know something that you claim to? trotsky May 2014 #88

It's insulting to imply that I've never repented and therefore don't know the process nt el_bryanto May 2014 #89

No, the topic was the afterlife. trotsky May 2014 #90

Well not having died I guess I don't know el_bryanto May 2014 #91

Well I hope you can at least find a faith... trotsky May 2014 #92

Curious? 4Q2u2 May 2014 #43

we all end up dead. Warren Stupidity May 2014 #65

No, I think we just explained it differently. trotsky May 2014 #33

Probably disagree. nt el_bryanto May 2014 #35

Why? trotsky May 2014 #36

No offense - but Warren Stupidity - your buddy - is already doing a number on me over el_bryanto May 2014 #37

Mind if I call you & okasha buddies, then? trotsky May 2014 #38

When have i said the latter? el_bryanto May 2014 #41

Oh, sorry for the confusion. trotsky May 2014 #42

Fair enough - i shouldn't have suggested that you and Warren are buddies el_bryanto May 2014 #45

No, I don't find that offensive. trotsky May 2014 #47

It's incorrect at any rate el_bryanto May 2014 #51

Don't be afraid to mince words. trotsky May 2014 #53

For the record, while I think a few athiests are assholes, that's not all of them el_bryanto May 2014 #55

Nor do I think all believers are assholes. trotsky May 2014 #60

I don't mind being told I'm wrong I mind being told I'm dishonest el_bryanto May 2014 #61

That is but one definition. trotsky May 2014 #64

Is there a difference between asserting something and stating that you believe something? nt el_bryanto May 2014 #71

Why, you must have said it when I did. okasha May 2014 #82

That's the great thing about DU. It's all on record. trotsky May 2014 #87

That post was not a broadbrush of all atheists. okasha May 2014 #93

Haters hate, yup they do. n/t trotsky May 2014 #94

That's the goal of this tag team, you know. rug May 2014 #39

True that. Starboard Tack May 2014 #59

It really doesn't accomplish much. rug May 2014 #62

"I don't really want to wade into the other issue that will almost certainly get me banned from DU" Warren Stupidity May 2014 #66

You should alert on me then. Enjoy! el_bryanto May 2014 #68

I generally don't alert on people for having opinions I disagree with. Warren Stupidity May 2014 #69

Exactly - I have said what my position is - but clearly I'm lying el_bryanto May 2014 #73

Well you can alert on yourself and explain that you are lying about your Warren Stupidity May 2014 #74

The quicker way would be just to distribute a few choice words, get alerted on and banned el_bryanto May 2014 #75

Good point. n/t trotsky May 2014 #72

No, okasha May 2014 #5

Excellent advice. LOL Starboard Tack May 2014 #12

What I've learned this week Starboard Tack May 2014 #14

And there's been a marked absense of you in certain threads EvolveOrConvolve May 2014 #97

Sorry! Did I miss something important? Starboard Tack May 2014 #108

Well you can always alert on everything Warren Stupidity May 2014 #15

Oh come on, like that would ever happen... mr blur May 2014 #16

Careful Goblinmonger May 2014 #19

And just so people relatively new here know this tactic Goblinmonger May 2014 #20

That's really something I'd expect of you el_bryanto May 2014 #22

That was a reference Goblinmonger May 2014 #23

I don't believe I've ever alerted on any post - if I have it's been years el_bryanto May 2014 #25

Nope. I believe you. Goblinmonger May 2014 #26

I agree that people should stop doing that el_bryanto May 2014 #28

See that last part might set someone off. Goblinmonger May 2014 #49

yes but if i were to say "Well like most atheists, you are thoughtless, dishonest el_bryanto May 2014 #52

Depends on what you meant Goblinmonger May 2014 #54

There it is el_bryanto May 2014 #56

I'm trying to explain my thought process Goblinmonger May 2014 #57

I didn't say you had said it I said you are close to it el_bryanto May 2014 #58

Dishonest =! Intellectually Dishonest Goblinmonger May 2014 #70

What I have learned is that the Ignore function TM99 May 2014 #21

+1 rug May 2014 #40

I don't blame you one bit. Wish I could do the same. Starboard Tack May 2014 #63

" These individuals need an audience.... mr blur May 2014 #76

Oh, I saw what you did there.... Jeff In Milwaukee May 2014 #77

Since when is a small group of select idividuals equal to TM99 May 2014 #83

You and the other religionists here skepticscott May 2014 #81

I have learned this week from the religion forum LostOne4Ever May 2014 #44

You've got to be careful about those things. cbayer May 2014 #46

I posted a freewood post article in GD once LostOne4Ever May 2014 #48

Had to look that up. cbayer May 2014 #50

It means you should probably stay out of the atheists' protected haven for a while Warpy May 2014 #95

It's been discussed here as well. el_bryanto May 2014 #96

dont worry about me, your angry god will be torturing me for all my sins soon enough. Warren Stupidity May 2014 #98

Jury results stone space May 2014 #102

My, my, a nanny alert. rug May 2014 #103

At first I thought it was alerted on for name-calling. stone space May 2014 #104

There's an alert war going on. rug May 2014 #105

That's what I should be doing right now. stone space May 2014 #106

Wonder what gutless asshole alerted on that. el_bryanto May 2014 #107

I learned to pick my battles and use ignore. hrmjustin May 2014 #99

Yes, there is a certain satisfaction skepticscott May 2014 #100

Hence, your ignore list. rug May 2014 #101

Don't pay attention okasha May 2014 #116

I guess it makes it easier for them to project than actually listen. hrmjustin May 2014 #117
