1. LINK?!?!

I couldn't resist...

Seriously, though, what's up?

[laconicsax]

2. Sent you a PM.

Seriously, it's just one after another of the same tired bullshit without a moment's thought about what was said, why I was said, and what it means.

I can picture those twits on "Fox and Friends" making the EXACT same comments, followed by Hannity and O'Reilly joining in. Funny how 'progressives' become indistinguishable from right-wing assholes on the subject of religion.

[Ninjaneer]

4. May I know as well

whats going on?

Even without knowing though, I can relate...hang in there.

[laconicsax]

7. Here you go.

Sent you a PM.

[WillParkinson]

3. Hands Laconicsax some double-strength aspirin...

And a :hug:

There, there. Like the dinosaurs the ignorant will eventually die out.

If they don't breed first, of course.

[Ninjaneer]

5. I want to believe that.

Have you seen Idiocracy? paints a grim picture.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

16. The dinosaurs didn't die out silly

God lifted them up to heaven on a gold chariot.

[laconicsax]

17. No, their noses caught fire.

19. Holy crap!

If that was an SNL skit, it would be one of the greatest of all times. But the dude was being fucking serious...

:crazy::crazy:

[Deep13]

6. "Arrrgh?" Well that could be about anything really.

:shrug:

[laconicsax]

8. True, but I PM'd you a link anyway. n/t

[Deep13]

9. Yeah, that'll do it.

:crazy:

[Ninjaneer]

10. The hits just keep on coming.

I can't believe some of the posts I read in the prayer at graduation thread. Are you fucking kidding me.....:grr:

[laconicsax]

11. Oh yeah. That's typical.

Post #1 is a NTS, and it makes it to the seventh comment before someone blames the victim.

Sadly, it happens consistently on other types of threads--especially ones about rape, domestic abuse, or police brutality victims.

[trotsky]

12. We have the freedom to force our religion on everyone else!

WHY ARE YOU TAKING AWAY OUR FREEDOM?!?

Fracking Koresh, is this FreeRepublic or something? Isn't it interesting how, for so many Christians - even liberal ones - react the same way?

[laconicsax]

13. At least we know where the so-called moderates are.

:grr:

[trotsky]

14. Ha!

Silent as always. "Oh, we speak out, the media just doesn't pay attention to us!" Fucking bullshit. You sit there silent. Because when push comes to shove, they'd rather be with their fellow believers, no matter how foul, than with the uppity atheists.

[WhollyHeretic]

15. Sit there silent? A lot of the "liberal" believers are actively joining in the persecution

of this kid

[darkstar3]

21. A conservative friend of mine once told me this:

"I've never seen any hate that would rival that of liberal hate."

I was flabbergasted, and I explained to him all of the hate that I had seen from the hard right wing of this country's political system. I then explained to him that, in order to be a liberal, you simply must care more about your fellow human beings.

Fuck if that wasn't idea-fuckin'-listic. There are people on this site who hate women, non-Christians, those who favor some form of gun control, and many more, with just as much piss and vinegar as any Rushbot.

18. ARRRRGH! ditto - what a week!

And what did I learn in R/T this week?

--It's OK for Xian parents to kill their kids. As long as they SINCERELY kill them.

--A blatant civil rights violation, in the form of an illegal prayer in a PUBLIC school, is really just a free-speech issue. (That's the quality of constitutional-law argument I'd expect from Slappy Thomas or Tony Soprano-Scalia, but not on DU.)

--Stephen Hawking doesn't know jack-shit about quantum physics. Or Heaven, which is a real place.

--"Nothing" means exactly the same as "something."

--Burden of proof is on the person denying the positive claim, but never on the person making the claim. And they're exactly the same anyway.

--WE NEED A NEW GROUP TO ARGUE EXCITING THEOLOGICAL CONCEPTS WITHOUT THOSE FRIGGING ATHEISTS.

I'm sure I missed a few.

I really don't know how much more of this liberalism I can stomach.

WTF?

[darkstar3]

20. I feel your pain, onager.

Somebody gifted me a star not too long ago, and it may be the only thing that stopped me from taking a long break. Even so, after repeatedly bashing my head against brick walls, and repeatedly being shown just how low some people can sink when they run into someone different from them...I'm getting really goddamn tired.
