The religionists have been spreading lies, misery, and ignorance for centuries, but now that some people have had enough and the religionists lack the power to enforce their will through their preferred method of violence, you draw a completely false equivalency.

I have yet to read anything from you urging the religionists to alter their behavior, not once, but you're Johnny-on-the-spot on every thread admonishing those of us on the other side to "live and let live". That makes you a hypocrite.

Too late... Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #1

Ah. I missed that. Monday was a busy day. Thanks. nt onehandle Aug 2012 #2

This kind of shit just makes DU look like a bunch of morons. Not everyone agrees with this crap, MADem Aug 2012 #3

Religion is not science. Lex Aug 2012 #4

Putting people down -- particularly when there are religious people on that NASA Mars Team-- for MADem Aug 2012 #5

The two ARE separate. Religion didn't put the rover on Mars. Period. Lex Aug 2012 #7

People did that. People. Persons. Individuals. Some of them have said they are religious, too. MADem Aug 2012 #9

I'm not the one coming off as terribly insecure. Lex Aug 2012 #15

I am not "offended." I do have a strong sense of fairness, and I perceive this thread to be MADem Aug 2012 #16

Just look at your responses on this very thread! Lex Aug 2012 #28

I am not the one making the snarky "suuuuuuuure" comments. MADem Aug 2012 #29

Note away, my friend. I do not think you are pathetic Lex Aug 2012 #30

I'll say it again, I believe in fairness. nt MADem Aug 2012 #32

Also, a tree is not a bicycle. eom yawnmaster Aug 2012 #6

Live and let live. Fine, let the religionists go first. Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #8

I agree with that entirely--you should keep your prejudices to yourself. MADem Aug 2012 #10

You don't seem to have any problem with nasty coming from the fantasy set. Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #19

I don't think two wrongs make a right. MADem Aug 2012 #22

No, I do not think it makes it right, I just refuse to continue to acquiesce to their demands of Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #27

Well, your assertions about me are not accurate. MADem Aug 2012 #31

Well for those of us that don't live in your head, it sure as hell looks that way. Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #34

It's one thing to figure things out, it's another to act on what you've learned. nt MADem Aug 2012 #35

LOL! I guess that's the difference here, I know I'm being an asshole about this, Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #37

I know plenty of decent people who are religious. I judge people by their deeds, see? MADem Aug 2012 #38

Saying "Oh, my God" doesn't mean you're religious. DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #11

dammit redqueen Aug 2012 #13

:) DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #14

See post seventeen. nt MADem Aug 2012 #18

Just saying, "Oh my God" doesn't mean the person saying it is religious. nt redqueen Aug 2012 #12

Well, it suggests a cultural, if not personal, relationship to a deity, like it or not. nt MADem Aug 2012 #17

No, it suggests that we use language common in our culture DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #20

I don't agree with your interpretation. nt MADem Aug 2012 #21

I'm an atheist who uses such language fairly often DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #23

Ah, well I daresay some atheists might look askance at your sincerity! MADem Aug 2012 #24

You are descending further into absurdity. DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #25

I don't think so. nt MADem Aug 2012 #33

That IS funny----thanks for the chuckle. virgogal Aug 2012 #26

hahaha.... well done! fascisthunter Aug 2012 #36
