Pyper Doesn't love me anymore

[Todd]

It's true.

 

[Persephone]

Is she...

...dismembered in your basement, by chance?

 

[Pyper]

No! Don't ever think that Todd! I still love you! Without you, who would I debate with?

::starts singing "You Light Up My Life"::

 

[Todd]

You do love me, you really do, I thought you hated me. becuase I wouldn't go back to being an atheist.

 

[Naked Hunny]

We all get over your initial cuteness Todd!

 

[Pyper]

As long as you don't try to make me go back to being a Christian, I won't try to make you go back to being an atheist.

 

[Todd]

As long as you don't try to make me go back to being a Christian, I won't try to make you go back to being an atheist.

Ok that sounds fair, though I didn't think I was trying to convert you or anyone.

did you see the statistical{sp?} quote on CNN last week about christianity and athiestism?

Aparently{sp?} they poleld like 10000 people on the net and came to the conclusion that in 2000 75% of christians come from atheist homes and 75% of atheist come from christian homes.

Kinda sounds like both groups are pushing thier{sp?} religious views on thier{sp?} Children to hard. Would you agree?

 

[Pyper]

I don't buy that poll simply because there are so few atheists in the world, especially in the United States. I think the statistic is something like 95% of Americans have some kind of supernatural belief. So that leaves only 5% atheist.

It would be simply impossible for 75% of Christians to come from atheist homes if the nation is already 95% believing and...okay, I've confused myself. The math has become too much for me.

I was raised Catholic, but I don't think I was pushed anymore than Catholics who continue to believe. When I grew up, I stopped believing, just as I stopped believing in Santa Claus. I read a really weird theory that atheism is somehow biological because it is so rare and seemingly unrelated to religious background. I dunno, sounds pretty far out to me.

Can we talk about this a bit more through email if youlike and wish not to bore the board?

 

[Pyper]

Sure. We can relieve them of yet another "Pyper and Todd Debate About Stuff" thread.

Email me at your convenience, please?

 

[Dillinger]

No its me Pyper doesn't love! And I'll fight you for it!!!

(Hey Kerrie - another thread you didnt' kill)

 

[Pyper]

Aw, thanks Kerrie. I just worry that people might be getting tired of the endless parade of threads where only Todd and I seem to be talking. Right now, our fundamentalist friend is filling me in on his multi-universe, antfarm theories.

 

[Dillinger]

Kerrie - looks like you killed another thread! Oh wait... nope, you didn't...

 

[jcgirl]

There was an initial cuteness?

 

[Pyper]

Todd's not too bad to talk with on AIM. Now he's explaining the evidence for ancient peoples being abducted by UFO's.

 

[jcgirl]

Im amazed that Todds ideas arent known far and wide.

<I wager any amount that he has a wire tap on his phone>

 

[KillerMuffin]

Ya'll should ask him his theory on property taxes. *nods with wide eyed sageness*
