By you I mean Christians.
I donâ??t know why people are getting sooooo fucking bent out of shape about all of this.
It seems to me if the Christians on this thread are being attacked more than they are attacking.
I donâ??t understand all this fucking hostilityâ?¦.
I am a Christian��..why does that bother you so much ( and the you is in general terms)
god doesn't make sense.
Because atheists and non-christians all over the planet have put with holier-than-thou preaching for 2,000 years, and we're fucking sick of it. Now's the time to change things, and hopefully religion will not exist anymore withing the next 200-300 years.Quote:

Now, I am no longer scared to offend anyone by saying that Christianity is bull, because you have offended me greatly.
Amen, F L E S H! :)
Does make sense. I've been told God has a sense of humor. I don't know the basis of their conclusions.Quote:

Everything I see thats wrong with it logic-wise, I found it, and then brought it to him being the ass that I am, lol.Quote:

He was so into this movie, he loved the fantasy so much that even though he might concede I was right with whatever crap I would bring to his attention, my doing that was definitely taking away his investment in the fantasy and he was resenting me for it.
Anyway, what your post reminded me the most of this story was I said something like "why didnt the wizard just poof 'em to where the ring was? Throughout the movie he can do all this wicked cool magic, but he cant do that?" By this time Im probably beng a little smug, cuz I do understand thats not much of a movie if he just poofs em there and there we go, end of story.
I realized just how much his investment in the fantasy was when he said "You dont understand wizards..." and proceeded to tell me about powers of wizards which he offered no basis for. I realized then that no amount of logic is going to make this person let go of the fantasy he holds so dear to his heart, and that even the goofiest of explanations he'll accept as long as it supports this fantasy.
Ban me, I'll have a different name and be back tommorrow, they tried to ban murple over on bluelight, how well did that work out?Quote:

And Iâ??m pretty sure no one has tortured or threatened to kill you because you donâ??t believe.
Sorry to have offended you greatly ��errrr�..I guess.
So you donâ??t want freedom of religionâ?¦â?¦.hmmm.
I think perhaps youâ??re in the wrong country.
AGAINâ?¦..I still donâ??t know why the fact that Iâ??m a Christian makes a shit to you or anyone else.
Edit: Nevermind I just saw that your from Canada.....perhaps you are in the right country.
Couldn't have put it better myself.. Brilliant, brother, brilliant.Quote:
