How do Christians negatively affect your life?

[LilKitKat]

I watched it, I understand.

What I don't understand is it's relevance to my comment you posted to as a response.

I argue that religion is a critical social glue for civilization......you responded with that. LOL

its ok, I guess the show didnt dumb it down enough for the lowest common denominator.
Perhaps next time.

 

[Saint_Ann]

why would it? I celebrate xmas.

You started all this with:

Christians proselytize.
That negatively affects my life.....

Yet you celebrate the birth of Christ. You don't see that as being just a tad hypocritical?

So it's not really relevant and you can't explain how it is.

Got it.

or science (ask Galileo!)

LOL, modern science was developed by the Catholic church. You REALLY should read a history book.

Oh, right, Roger Bacon was a Catholic and a scientist, so his Catholicism is what made him a scientist?

Or maybe it was the pagan works of of Ibn al-Haytham or Aristotle that he relied on?

 

[HisArpy]

Ooooo kay.

Sure....west wing clip....Hollywood big not likey Christianity I guess??

If you were getting at something it's a bit vague, despite the common belief among women that men SHOULD be able to read minds, we actually can't.

You missed the part where some people think a movie is the same as real life.

It's absolutely insane and only shows how immature they really are.

She's a nutter who utters conflicting statements at the same time out of one set of lips.

 

[pinkparkhorse]

As a Catholic, I feel like I’m destroying the lives of everyone I walk by.

Random rabbling.......reeee!!!

This is what you do when you can't actually address the topic because your hatred of religion makes you ignore history.

I dunno. If something "bothers" you, it's up to you whether you let it affect your life or not. It's something I've been working on.

Lol.

It is, ever since 1980.

Anyway, I've given many examples of how religion has harmed and impeded civilisation.

No you haven't.

"BUT THING I DONT LIKE" isn't a harm or impediment to civilization.

It's just some shit you don't like.

I'm sure you don't like that "shit" either. Or are you endorsing slavery?

Ephesians 6:5-9

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ, 6 not with a slavery performed merely for looks, to please people, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul. 7 Render service with enthusiasm, as for the Lord and not for humans, 8 knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are enslaved or free.

Or the trial of Galileo?

Or the Inquisition?

Or the blood spilled in the middle east, or along the India-Pakistan border or in Northern Ireland, or between Bangladesh and Myanmar?

I'm sure you can find many other examples. For example, in your own country, real estate covenants keeping people of certain religions out of certain neighbourhoods.

nope. im well aware that it was a tv show.
i just loved the takedown scene and not surprised he couldnt see how it was relevant to the discussion about religion but...not much shocks me anymore about the right.

It's a fucking MOVIE. There is no "take down scene" it's just a script that's followed by people FAKING IT to make dipshits like you think it's real.

its a TV SHOW (ie, not a MOVIE)
and yes, PResident Bartlet shuts down that lady in multiple ways and was fucking awesome.
and in no way do I think its REAL. I just love the examples that show the hypocrisy in Bible thumpers

 

[HisArpy]

It's a movie made for TV. That you want to argue that as if it's some kind of distinguishing point instead of accepting the reality is probably the dumbest thing you've posted so far.

BTW, your "President Bartlet" didn't "shut down" anyone because IT'S A SCRIPT. It's all FICTION and the actors have to go along with the script/lot. That you think any part of that is real is insane.

You've yet to give a single example to support your position.

Every single civilization ever depended on one

You haven't shown that the civilisation "depended on" the religion. It's far more likely that things are as Edward Gibbon said,

“The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.”

yes I am aware though its a tv show, not a movie and not reality. thats not the point geez. there were something like seven seasons of your "movie" but however you want to define that to sleep at night is fine.
Regardless, the bible passages cited in the SCRIPT are from THE BIBLE...and used against the bible-thumper as a takedown from the ACTORS.
there is huge amount of ridiculousness in the bible. hence it was enjoyable to watch it being used against someone IN THE SCRIPT...performed by ACTORS...on a TV SHOW...that is NOT REAL...to make a point that could be used against someone if needed in REALITY

Again, it's not real. No part of it is real. In real life none of that would have happened.

I've been quoting you history endlessly here. You haven't been giving anything back but mindless abuse.

Imagine no religion.

well, no competent, respected, intelligent President would have done that, agreed.
Good thing we dont have any of that now but thats a different story.

I guess we'll never know the answer. Lol.

It's real because it's plausible -- a president could say exactly those things to the fundies, and an honest president would.

 

[LilKitKat]

I guess we'll never know the answer. Lol.

I dont really believe in Jesus or "celebrate" the birth of Christ.
I am a product of my parents and tradition and simply enjoy seeing my family and having good food as well, not to mention giving presents to make them smile.

 

[LilKitKat]

Again, it's not real. No part of it is real. In real life none of that would have happened.

neither is Star Wars. Or Jurassic Park. Or Severance, Westwood, Deadwood, The Sopranos, The Wire, The Morning Show, Plur1bus, Ted Lasso, The Godfather, Shawshank Redemption, Amelie, Trainspotting, Silo, Rocky, Minority Report, Interview with the Vampire, Hoosiers, Enders Game, Bourne Identity, Casino Royale, Aliens, The Avengers, Seinfeld, MASH, Cosby Show, How I Met Your Mother, Friends, Game of Thrones, whatever

whats yer fucking point?
