It's a shame really, but it was a choice he made.
Yup. I see this daily. People whining or complaining about others while their lives are a total mess/failure.
The America, and the American Military, that you once knew is gone.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Best Wishes to you all for a great time of the year and a great time for thanks to God for what we have and those we love and are blessed with in our lives.
I think you meant RELIGIOUS beliefs, because mocking of beliefs goes on here e v e r y day. Sure, I can agree with both of those things.

I'll wait for your answer.
I'm comfortable saying that I don't know how we got here.
If you're saying that you believe that a conscious being created 'everything' as we know it, I would say that you have no idea which of the around 3,000 gods that man has created in his mind is the creator. You also don't know if the creator, if it exists, is a being that man has never considered. The other reality is the reason you believe in the Christian god as creator is due to a series of events over which you had no control.

If it's to bash Christianity......{yawn}......you do that every day.
If it's to mischaracterize Christianity......then well done......again....and again.....
You are so worried about something you don't think exists. How odd.
It's very difficult to bite ones tongue when one sees the same baseless assertion (God is loving, merciful, graceful and moral) repeated over and over. It would be like a poster regularly expressing his belief that, for example, Elvis is still alive.
That would be Computerbuck's comments about Lyme Disease, Plum Island, Nibru, and numerous other topics that are unique to him.
No one thinks about CP to the point of being obsessed about proving his perspective is crazy, wrong, illogical, etc etc etc.
For the record, no one regularly starts threads about Christianity... except you.

It's the old recycled "God is immoral He won't feed starving children" shtick.
If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry. Luke 3:11

Iâ€ve noticed an interesting dynamic in the NH regarding atheism issues. Everyone will jump on pitch and call him a troll, squawk, whatever, but wonâ€t respond to 3rdgen when he offers a far more scornful and incisive take on the same issue, from the same POV. Playground politics......

3G interjects quite a bit of humor into his scathing condescension, whereas pitch just belches out the same dumb question continuously for ten pages no matter how many times and ways it gets answered.

I†ve gone back and forth with 3GS many times and we†ve disagreed plenty of times, but he doesn†t go out of his way to mock me and other Christians.

pitch isn't interested in discussion when it comes to cops and courts and Jesus.

Playground politics......  3gs approach, at least in our exchanges when we disagree, is as follows:
If you don't accept everything he says, he will insult you and then disappear for most of the rest of the day.

No, not BS. You're interested in 1. demonizing those groups and 2. ignoring objective facts that challenge your position.

If religious people held their religious beliefs to the same standard of evidence/ facts that they hold everything else in their lives, there would be no religion.
If you're referring, as Zigbee often does, to laws as "facts" then, yes, when discussing right/wrong, laws are meaningless to me.

Dragging Zig into this... to deflect away from the fact you're not interest in discussion or anything resembling a two-way dialogue.
