Atheist!

Even sr can tell you, I have no problem with being disagreed with. He and I have disagreed more than once...and I still have no problem with "speaking" with him.


We've disagreed? Why am I always the last to know about these things?

shhh. Don't ruin the moment!!:D

Okay...maybe we've misunderstood one another a time or two. Might not have been disagreed so much!!
 
A moment? There was a moment? Geez, missed again. But was it good for you? (And, umm, did it seem to be good for me too?) Could I bum a cigarette?

Stop making me laugh when I'm trying to be angry!!:eek:

*here's a ciggie* Menthol Light though!! I don't think it was good for you if you don't remember!!:D
 
faith, or objective thought?

ami said in part Atheism, especially objective, rational atheism, threatens not just the ideology or theology, it threatens the very heart and soul of an individual who has forgotten that they exist independent of all others, God and State particularly.

You are born alone and Tabula Rasa, you live alone and die alone; nothing, no faith, no belief can change that.

That is the big black hole at the center of an individuals galaxy that they dare not face.

I am not trying to convert you or even frighten you into doubt. This is a grown-up world out here, for the most part, and children of faith need be protected from reality. That is why atheism, non belief, is terrifying to most.

The most difficult task a human will face in life is to 'think', objectively, without emotion, without belief without contradiction.


The "Individual" speaks; he dares to look into the black hole.
He "thinks, objectively, without emotion" facing up to life's most difficult task.
He, unlike almost all others, be they Christian, Buddhist, or (horrors) Modern Liberal, is without a 'faith'; he never evades the truth, or resorts to dogma.

WHO could this be? The Buddha? Aristotle? Kropotkin? Gauguin? Camus? ... Nope. The late ms Rand, who's torch ami carries. Both Ms Rand and AMI have the singular distinction of not drawing upon ANY other individual since Aristotle; they are without intellectual debts.

What cornucopia of insight has result from these fearless quests?

What has our "individual" ami come up with in this daring search?

Pretty much what the Catholic priest or evangelical minister up the street have always said! Let's see: Homosexuals are sick and their lifestyle is degenerate; Single moms need to learn morality; Condoms promote premarital sex; AIDS is a consequence of irresponsibility. Women, except ms Rand, have trouble with objective thinking, and their leadership is suspect because of the 'time of the month' problem.

Politically, a mixture of the glories of the 1830 US South, where the white men ruled; when the constitution was un tampered with by all amendments since the bill of right, esp. the abolition of slavery and the declaration of the rights of all US born persons, as citizens, regardless of color (14th amendment). That along with the glorious thinking of the pre 1930s presidents, such as Coolidge and Hoover. Keep the government small. Let the improvident bear the weight of their bad choices, during the periodic depressions. Do not tax anyone, beyond the national defense, especially any business. Do not regulate any business including drug and food producers.

The quest sounded so noble and we end with a mix of the Pope, Grover Norquist, and Jerry Falwell.

I must remember to use the name Grover Norquist in one of my stories. :)
 
That was funny. South Park is so spot on. :D

I always liked the bumper sticker: 'I'm sorry my karma ran over your dogma'.

Well, it said God in the song.

Figured it was somehow appropriate.
 
According to PureEvil in post 458, there is no need to read Amicus. Pure, third person omniscient, will tell you all you need to know, plus provide the antagonist and the protagonist as a dessert.

Wunnerful.

It has become so typical that the vacuous left never deigns to defend or even elucidate a single position but is always on the attack. It fits the persona, brigands, thieves, crooks, parasites, hit and run, steal and eat & crap on the trailside.

A pack of Hyena's; offal eaters. I suppose there must be such creatures, as nature intended, but as with mosquito's, one can do quite well without them.

You don't believe me? Ask a lefty what they stand for and they will shift position in a heartbeat.

Amicus....
 
What I love is how the conservative crowd has shifted their focus.

Still continuing their snarky attacks, now they blame the LEFT for attacking THEM.

It's very amusing.

Fucking hypocrites.
 
Oh, then you don't think Christ was liberal in his views? Is there something in the title of liberal that makes you feel insecure--especially if you claim you want to live a Christ-centered life--with Christ being an aspect of the God you believe in and all--and you then have to actually come to grips with what his life meant?
Well, Christ did not mean what you say his life meant. You really are looking for something in me to criticize. Don't mistake me for Rick Warren, he preached the Christ centered life. For me I have always followed the God centered life and that makes me a different person than you commonly run across.

Unlike you I have actually read the Bible and studied Christianity. People opposed to Christ were the liberals were the liberals of his time; in the temple and other places. He tried to point them back to serving God in the spirit of the Jewish fathers. He tried to conserve the qualities of the old covenant to bring them into the new covenant. See, he was a conservative, not a liberal.

I am not going to share my religious life with you, at least not at this time. Why would I do such a thing while I know you are not looking for facts for your salvation but you just want to find fault? If you think Christ requires you to do the things you point out, get busy and do them. I have come to grips with what God wants me to do and I am doing it.
 
Well, golly gee, Sweetsss, a single tear rolls down my cheek; a majority in Congress for the past two years and now the White House in the clammy hands of the super liberals and you still are whining?

Gimme a break:confused:

So, you don't believe in the Trinity then(?) That does, indeed, make you a very different "Christian." I'll give a little prayer for you in church in the morning. :)

How did you make the deduction that you'd read and studied the Bible more than I have? Is that a conservative way of "knowing" something?

Oh, silly ami.

I'm grinning.

I'm dancing around my house, happily shimmying.

I haven't stopped since the election.

I'm just mildly annoyed by Republican whiners.

But you just keep on keeping on.
 
Shimmy, shimmy koko bop? Hmmm...where the hell did that come from...

I have to confess I stole the line about the single tear from 'Waterworld', what the hell, with the liberal screen writers, the world was under water, ahm, because of 'global warming', no doubt, the oil tanker in the scene, was...drum roll please, yup, you guessed it, Exon-Valdez, the tanker that grounded off Alaska. Christ, they stoop to any level to prosyletize, don't they?

We need a new Penicillin to eradicate the liberal infection that has spread through the arts, through the entire culture, yet is so insecure they go all out to attack a poor kid expressing her/his, religious beliefs. Bring out the big guns, total annihilation, scorched earth, try pickin' on me ya pussies, you ain't got the balls of an ant.

Amicus....
 
Ami, you know the arts are always liberal.

Conservative folk don't see the need for such things.

They're enlightening.

:rose:
 
I'm still perplexed, wmrs2, why your Christian principles would be causing you to be so un-Christian to me.

(And, sorry, all that Bible reading and you didn't do enough--you got your liberal/conservative thing in the story of Christ assbackwards. Suggest another round of Sunday School.)
