28. This OP is about swapping Bibles for porn.

It is not about the RCC.

It is not about deepstar3's - or your - opinion of the RCC or me.

If you want to talk about that start your own thread. Or threadjack off in the corner.

Now, do you have an opinion on this stunt or is your logical defense of it a lame diversion?

You want to talk logic? I'd love to hear what you consider to be logic.

Texas atheist students swap Bibles for porn [View all]	rug	Apr 2012	OP
I think this movement needs a little diversity.	cbayer	Apr 2012	#1
If there were a few more women involved, I doubt they'd be swapping for porn	rug	Apr 2012	#2
Are you talking about the RCC?	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#24
Where, in the African, Asian, or Latin American dioceses?	rug	Apr 2012	#31
I'm talking about the place of women in the church.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#34
Thye post you replied to mentioned "more women and people of color."	rug	Apr 2012	#35
No, I'm not	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#37
Other than Hoyos, what is your dissatisfaction with the ethnic and racial diversity of the RCC?	rug	Apr 2012	#42
That all came out after the selection	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#43
They just get more popular every day. nt	humblebum	Apr 2012	#54
They do indeed. ;) nt	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#55
Indeed they do, and at the expense of religion, too!	cleanhippie	Apr 2012	#56
Yes, everyone knows religion exploits women and porn doesn't.	humblebum	Apr 2012	#57
Well, at the very least, religion exploits children...	cleanhippie	Apr 2012	#100
Hmmm...I think you're missing something.	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#102
everyone knows religion exploits women and porn doesn't.	AlbertCat	Apr 2012	#109
I find this as annoying	qazplm	Apr 2012	#3
Well, the important thing...	Ian David	Apr 2012	#6
Come on now,	Kelvin Mace	Apr 2012	#9
Saying there are too many dicks is like saying there are too many flowers.	Ian David	Apr 2012	#12
I find this as annoying as proselytizing by religious folk.	AlbertCat	Apr 2012	#110
There's no misogyny if it's gay male porn. n/t	Ian David	Apr 2012	#4
That's true, but probably unlikely. They bought 30 pounds of porn from a single seller	cbayer	Apr 2012	#16
"They bought 30 pounds of porn from a single seller"	Rob H.	Apr 2012	#58
Actually it was 140 pounds for $30!	cbayer	Apr 2012	#61
Man!	Rob H.	Apr 2012	#62
Maybe it's an estate sale?	cbayer	Apr 2012	#64
Ha! I can just see it	Rob H.	Apr 2012	#88
Sounds like a win-win	FBaggins	Apr 2012	#5
Do not taunt rabid dogs	Kelvin Mace	Apr 2012	#7
How to win friends and supporters by being offensive and rude.	Speck Tater	Apr 2012	#8

It depends on who their targeted audience is, and what their desired result is.	Ian David	Apr 2012	#13
Looks like it might be a combination of 1 and 3	cbayer	Apr 2012	#46
They're not going to SPREAD Atheism that way.	Ian David	Apr 2012	#66
What's your church doing to fight against misogyny, rug?	trotsky	Apr 2012	#11
They stopped burning "witches." n/t	Ian David	Apr 2012	#14
Gotta love progress!	trotsky	Apr 2012	#21
What are you doing to fight against misogyny, trotsky?	rug	Apr 2012	#18
You're right, I do lots more than you and your church. n/t	trotsky	Apr 2012	#19
I'll take you word for it.	rug	Apr 2012	#22
Good for them	Buzz cook	Apr 2012	#15
I believe the swapping of bibles for porn to be a dumb, unfunny and destructive , sophomoric	ladjf	Apr 2012	#17
I'll believe that you actually care about misogyny beyond your rhetorical convenience	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#20
Do you believe I care about your belief?	rug	Apr 2012	#23
Way to not yet address the hypocrisy of your post.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#25
Ah, so you approve this stunt because the RCC is misogynist.	rug	Apr 2012	#26
Build your strawmen somewhere else.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#27
This OP is about swapping Bibles for porn.	rug	Apr 2012	#28
OK, guess we have to go through this one step at a time	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#29
Wrong step.	rug	Apr 2012	#30
Not the wrong step	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#32
You are asserting two different things.	rug	Apr 2012	#36
Funny. You still don't answer the question.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#39
From the article you posted:	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#33
That's an interesting and plausible view.	rug	Apr 2012	#38
How the fuck do you know?	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#40
To quote a teacher of communication, "How the fuck do you know" their intent?	rug	Apr 2012	#44
Did you read that article?	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#48
Calling upon your mystical mind-reading powers again, I see.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#41
I know what you're up to. You're your usual transparent self.	rug	Apr 2012	#47
So contrary to what the group says their intent is	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#50
Sure.	rug	Apr 2012	#60
Not only do I not doubt that was their intent...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#45
These are the alternatives:	rug	Apr 2012	#49
I would say that those were all objectives...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#51
This is their president's statement of intent	cbayer	Apr 2012	#52
Probably set up more booths?	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#53
Fair enough.	rug	Apr 2012	#59
You've been proven wrong, and been quite belligerent in defending your wrongness...	trotsky	Apr 2012	#65
Now, trotsky, that is the difference between you and a nondisruptive poster.	rug	Apr 2012	#68
Stayin' classy indeed.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#82
Fortunately, I dont form my perception of atheists based on you or your posts.	rug	Apr 2012	#86
No, that's pretty clear.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#91
Because that would mean the atheists have a point.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#67
Oh? Are you distributing porn?	rug	Apr 2012	#69
What the hell does that have to do with anything?	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#70
Just the OP.	rug	Apr 2012	#72
Pro tip: in order for a snappy reply to actually be snappy...	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#73
Follow it.	rug	Apr 2012	#74
Dude. That's old.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#75
Dude.	rug	Apr 2012	#76
Er, you may not like rug. You may disagree with rug. But his snappiness is pretty	cbayer	Apr 2012	#77
I can only assume that you were either	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#78
It's the team. Rah rah go team.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#104
Sox do rule and Yankees do suck.	cbayer	Apr 2012	#107
Can't argue against THAT.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#112
Good for him.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#83
Well that explains a lot.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#85
It's astonishing, the lengths you will go to avoid	mr blur	Apr 2012	#63
Considering the OP is not about the Catholic Church,	rug	Apr 2012	#71
The OP is about you taking issue with something and revealing a certain hypocrisy.	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#79
Why don't you comment on the article instead of attempting another diversion?	rug	Apr 2012	#80
Why don't you actually reply to a point put to you for once?	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#81
Do you support this group distributing pornography.	rug	Apr 2012	#84
Had they come to me	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#87
Not so fast.	rug	Apr 2012	#94
I'm on my phone	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#103
Truly fascinating and oh-so-telling.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#106
You are off on many points.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#111
I could answer easily, but it's not germane to the OP or the subthread.	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#89
I see. You could answer easily. But you don't.	rug	Apr 2012	#90
More inartful dodging. If you have nothing to say about your hypocrisy, then why say anything here?	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#92
How many posts will it take you to avoid an answer?	rug	Apr 2012	#95
And what did it get him? Nothing.	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#97
There's another..	rug	Apr 2012	#98
Yes, but not in the way you "believe". ;)	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#99
I'll answer you too, so there's one less thing you can hide behind.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#93
And lets be honest, anything atheists do that might actually...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#96
Precisely.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#105
Not true at all. There was significant support for the reason rally	cbayer	Apr 2012	#108
rug, on this very forum, attempted to paint the Reason Rally in a bad light...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#113
There is criticism in this group about actions of both atheists and theists.	cbayer	Apr 2012	#114
I've got a bible or two laying hete somewhere... nt	rrneck	Apr 2012	#101
