But sometimes I do enjoy debating someone, and if a religious person makes religious claims in my blog, especially ones that I find immoral or that espouse intolerance, I usually respond to those.<br /><br />As to buzzlol, I don't see why you singled him out. He told a story of blatant persecution of an atheist by the police, and ended it with a "rant" about his view of the Bible and religion. You have no idea the discrimination that atheists face in this Christian-dominated country. That was the point of the blog itself: that we can't get equal treatment under the law. In my case, it was a courtroom, and for buzzlol, it was the much more frightening case of being arrested and handcuffed by the police merely for being an atheist. Is it any surprise that he's angry?<br /><br />Is it "militant" for buzzlol to say the Bible is full of "lies"? The Bible has thousands of contradictions, <i>thousands</i>, things where it says two things that both can't be true. Are they lies or errors? Buzzlol has his opinion, I have mine, and you have yours.Craig A.

As a Normal Person with NO drug addiction, NO religious addiction, NO homosexuality addiction, NO couch potato (sloth) addiction, NO obesity addiction, NO greed addiction (Pres. Bush Jr.) and no other mental illnesses, I have faced this problem of discrimination all my life! Fired from jobs when I told the boss(s) that I wasn't interested in having their religions/addictions forced on me, or when I didn't share the addictions of my co-workers. I once had a whacked out pyromaniac mentally ill religious person who had gotten off their medications threaten me and the police with a fiery death ("purify you with fire")removed from my home and headed toward Rescue Crisis, only to have that person while in the police car tell the police I was an atheist, whereupon she was brought back into my home and I was arrested and taken away! After I told those police I would sue them if that person burned my home down while we were gone, one of them then went back in and took that person to Rescue Crisis... All I wanted in the first place for that person... But I had to be arrested, jailed, and fined, first... for being honest... and asserting my rights... And, of course, this stuff is almost impossible to prove in court... In one case I filed a complaint with the Civil Rights people, but I discovered that went NOWHERE fast with Bush Jr. as president!<BR/><BR/>.... The clergy make their living by LYING... The bible is a pack of lies... put your hand on a bible and swear to tell the truth...? Oxymoron? Fortunately, this city is heavily Democratic, so in court they don't add 'so help me god' to oaths around here... I've only seen it done on TV and in movies...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-21342297223495513242008-08-20T19:50:00.000-07:002008-08-20T19:50:00.000-07:00All things considered, you appeared to be the liar...All things considered, you appeared to be the liar. If both men looked at me and told me different story's I would be forced to choose the one who cannot say "I swear to tell the truth so help me god." <BR/><BR/>Ergo, the court system is biased. Not much, but when presented with a tie it is enough to tip the scale.<BR/><BR/>-LeoJugglerLeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403640547695091052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-36589875528226695222008-07-30T16:13:00.000-07:002008-07-30T16:13:00.000-07:00IINM Quakers had a somewhat similar problem with t...IINM Quakers had a somewhat similar problem with their aversion to oaths of any sort. Perhaps atheists should check exactly what Quakers have tried doing about that.

Your thief, whether Christian or not, was willing to lie, cheat, and steal in the courtroom for personal gain. Taking the moral high ground (may have)lost the case. Hopefully you're not out too much money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
