The Atheist - Agnostic - Non religious thread

Chris S wrote: R.I.P Phillip Seymour Hoffman " DOUBT" in faith more than any denomination. If you do not believe, it makes it all easy. If you do believe, many of those who did now have doubt.  So if this was a soccer match as Iain suggested, the believers would be letting in goals all over the place. It will take more than a few " transfers" to rectify the defensive frailties

Of more pressing concern is how do we get Ivan off the field to receive treatment for what is clearly either concussion or a nasty head knock?

Decreased cognitive function? - check
impaired vision? - check
emotional outbursts? - check
babbling incoherently? - check
disorientation? - check

Even Roy Keane in his prime would be loathe to take the boy Melgar on in a 50-50 challenge for a belief system

Yeth, and I'm only sithteen.

Come one Atheists and Agnostics are supposed to be more open than this... 

If you wanted to insult something you don't believe in then this would be the thread for it?

No that would be the Jon Anderson thread...

And then I fired the maid and took away her livelihood because she dared to think differently than me. Just one more thing THE MAID IS NOT ALLOWED TO LET PEOPLE INTO MY HOUSE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Lima is becoming a very dangerous city, I been robbed antiques for US$ 200,000 (I post it here a couple years ago),  and never got them back. One of the usual tactics is the Jehovah Witness, they say they come to read the Bible, and they point you with  a gun. I told her 1.- Nobody enters to this house without my express permission, except my sister, brother in law and my 2 nephews. 2.- We don't answer surveys 3.- I don't send third persons in my name if I have an accident. 4.- No preachers enter to my house, no matter what religion, not even people from the Parrish who usually come to take books or old clothes we leave them. 5.- Not even a person who claims to be my client, you tell them the doctor is not here and I'm not allowed to let anybody in. And I see two guys seating in my living room when nobody was home I put the rules in my house.

Yes, nobody should blame you for doing that.

A person can be tolerant of individuals, but intolerant of institutions, particularly those institutions that have an incredibly long history of corruption, murder and scandal, with no sign of true efforts to really change. I may regret that I came across rather acrimoniously  here, but I won't say I am sorry for what I said. Because I believe what I said as firmly as you do, and I believe I can back everything up with as many factoids as you can throw out (except that I have the ability to limit my cut-and-pasting to pertinent facts).

I propose you going back to being an Admin   Piling up on Ivan (whose posts deserve some of that sometimes though ) is an example.
