Reply #89: your experiences don't actually sound different tho

[pitohui]

you say your experiences are "different" but then acknowledge they came as the result of a problem with alcohol

well that's the old story isn't it, people are in trouble and don't trust themselves to get out of trouble so they put their trust in the invisible cloud being

if people are on the offensive abt god and religion, it is because god and religion are crammed down our throats and everyone with a problem is swarmed by the herds of the borg trying to assimmilate that person back into some religion

no one respects the atheist or the agnostic yet we are supposed to eternally tiptoe around the faithful

do you honestly not see the unfairness operating here?

religion is everywhere bowed down to even though most of us know it damn well ain't true -- faith itself is "belief" in things that ain't so, ask any five year old

i honestly don't see what respecting delusion is going to get any of us except more of the same

we've had thousands of years of respecting faith and the result, as you see, is not v. positive, the world is being destroyed before our eyes

i'm sick of it frankly

you're right, quite unfair to compare god to santa claus, santa claus actually did something for me more recently than 2,000 freaking years ago

sorry for the lack of tact, but if god could be arsed to exist, he might have given me more social skills to work with for starters

look i've seen hundreds of miles of towns and cities destroyed, god doesn't deserve to even show his face around here, if he does exist, there is absolutely no excuse for him
