Jesus lost his temper and threw a fit. The money changers were not doing anything to deserve that. They were just performing the time honored traditions of the Jewish temple.

I mean how would you like it if some wild eyed atheist came in and turned over all the tables full of crockpots at the Sunday after meetin' potluck and pronounced that everyone there was just a bunch of overfed fat a$$ed hypocrites.

This is your post number 11. The response to it was referring to the thread you started on atheists mistreating Christians and Rafuis pointed out to you that you judged a person as an atheist and mean spirited based on a short video and called you a hypocrite for doing the exact same thing that you called the OP out for. So it was pointing out that your attack on the OP for doing what you had done in a previous thread.

And then you more or less attacked atheist for raising their children as atheists. You are wrong, the attack on you was started due to your attack on the OP on post 11.

Go back and read Dewdropin last post.

Yup, she's a nut job.
Your post reminded me of a Christian woman I befriended some years ago. She was from your neck of the woods, Wanganui to be precise. She had/has 3 children (not 12, fortunately) each who had/has a different father ...still living. And, that's fine. However, it was when she started to preach the word of God against gay people that it was not so fine. I realize that we don't know that this is the case in this particular case but your post did remind me of the woman I speak of. 'Religious nut jobs' are blind to their own, um, scriptural discrepancies, but seem to be drawn to the perceived ones of others. That's why they're referred to as 'religious nut jobs', I guess.

Thank you for informing of this before it got out of hand.

Well you know, what's a few divorces or out of wedlock children over against the gross perversions of gay sex, eh? I think sometimes LGBTQ people are a sort of pressure relief valve for all that fundamentalist guilt and self-loathing. They can keep the focus on the horrible, awful things some Hated Other does, and it takes the heat off them.

Oh so anecdotal evidence is now evidence? Great so now I can use all those countless personal testimonies about Christ working in their lives as proof that God exists.


Sad to see you are not above sarcasm though.

Did I call out anyone specifically and attack them in that post? Yes or NO. I was directly insulted in #14. Hey it's perfectly fine for you and your friends to do that, right?

I made a generalized statement about atheists and that's all.

You are spouting things about people who you don't know. Knock it off.

And no, if others have done it to you, that doesn't make it right.

Too bad. Sarcasm is not wrong. It's a valid literary device. Don't tell other people how to write.

No. you've got it the wrong way around.

You said this BEFORE post #14:

Quote:

You "I made a generalized statement about atheists and that's all".

That's all?
YOU insulted ALL atheists AND their children.

What is it about this you don't get?

You REPEATEDLY in this thread and others say that 100% of atheists are 100% nasty and have been doing so for months.

Repeatedly making such statements is vindictive and asking for people to retaliate.

And then you sit there and wonder why people have a go at you.


I'm offering you some friendly advice here Jeff. You need to take some time to reflect on your words.

jeff's compulsive need to demonize atheists only serves to demonstrate the shakiness of his own professed-too-much faith.

He thinks demonizing "others" somehow proves he's a warrior for his little godling -- or something similarly childish.

It's akin to the JW's belief they are the chosen 1%-ers and their "proof" is the other 99% say they're totally off-base.
