Unique ID In India Causes 'Fear of the Beast'
bhagwad writes "India's attempts to tag everyone with an ID number has run into a roadblock is some Christian villages. Apparently the villagers fear they will be associated with the devil since according to the Bible, everyone having the 'mark of the beast' will go to hell. These people are not afraid of punishment. They relish this opportunity to prove their faith because the Bible also proclaims that they will be persecuted."
for some really good laughs. Religious people are hilarious....and very very scary.
Just as I thought the GP was of the mark, there is the crazy just as he predicted. My and what a beautifull example it is, frotting at the mouth, puffing up his red-neck.
Kinda sad the Illuminati have already tagged this one and fixed him. If he still had his equipment in full functional order he would be far more fierce but sadly this one is doomed to rant and rave impotently.

You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
Please explain in detail exactly why that is a bad idea, including references.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
Yeah, it's not like they have to keep track of who is who, right?
I mean, when a crime is committed they can just throw anyone in jail, if they need to pay some benefit to someone they can just give it to the first person who shows up.
Did you read his post?
His opinion is pretty fucking clear from the post, asshole.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
What part of "Please explain in detail exactly why that is a bad idea, including references." did you not understand?

Personally I think Christians (practicing their faith in "loving others") are the best kind of citizen one can have. They follow the just laws, they pay taxes and help their fellow men.
And they used to own slaves, then moved on to lynching and segregating blacks...and used scripture to justify it. Talk about moral relativism...
I live ze unknown. I love ze unknown. I am ze unknown.
First off, describe this persecution of which you speak.
Second, do you advocate Christians persecuting others by trying to have their religion codified into law, having their religion taught in public schools, and their desire to disallow homosexuals to marry even if such a marriage is allowed in the homosexuals' religion?
If you can say you advocate or support any of the second, then you are nothing less than a self-serving hypocrite, like most every christian I have ever met.

Don't be an asshole and I won't call you an asshole.
His post described his opinion. You can whine all you want, but the truth is out there for all to see.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
Are you a tough guy in real life or only on the internet?
Don't get me started on the horror that is the Judeo-Christian scriptures. That's a whole other topic of disgust.

Funny, I fucking live in Kansas, so this is entirely on track.

I don't consider it reading comprehension problems to equate "Where I live, the Christians are" with "Where I live, Christians as a whole are" as opposed to "Where I live, there are examples of Christians who are" nor even "Where I live, every example of X is a Christian".
Since I started this thread off specifically mentioning that I was referring to Christians leading movements in the US Midwest, your inference that I was making a statement about all Christians is an invalid assumption on your part.
This may simply be an example of where if you don't use grammar carefully, you will actually say something else entirely.
Also, the entire rest of that post after the clarification seemed off-topic. In particular I don't know where you got the idea that I suggested anyone other than Christians were involved in whatever you were objecting to.
You attempted a bit of "sleight of hand" to make it seem like I was making universal claims. I refuted that, and then went on to ask you who else was leading these movements if it isn't Christians. Do you have some counter-examples to tender, or are you going to concede the original point?

You sir are PREJUDICED.
Sure, I admit it. I am prejudiced against those who try to force irrational beliefs on my society. Guilty as charged.
You are prejudging that the Indian Christians in this story are all dicks, just because a FEW american christians treated you poorly.
Funny, I never even addressed the Indian Christians. I don't know if they are dicks or not. Deluded and irrational? Sure. Dicks? Who knows?
That's just as wrong as prejudging that all Blacks or all Asians are thieves, just because you saw some getting arrested on the TV. Stop prejudging an entire group of people, just based on the acts of a few. That's what the KKK does and I know you are better than that.
Actually, you don't know that. I may be the biggest peckerhead you have ever dealt with. How the fuck would you know?

Put down the remote control and look around you. The news is *OVERRATED* sensationalism tabloid trash. I would be willing to bet cold hard cash 90% of the people around you are Christians. But they are not in your face about it or blowing themselves up now are they? But in your world they at any minute will snap and kill us all.
You know what I do see? I see atheists screaming (many times a day on boards such as this one) that they are being persecuted when it is usually the other way around. You seem shocked when you push so hard eventually they stop turning the other cheek.
So 'clap clap' your an atheist. Confreekingradulations. I see people like you pushing your views on others. Then using 'religious' arguments to push their own world view. Perhaps you need to take a look in the mirror and see what you are doing is exactly what you accuse others of.
Dont know why I came into this discussion I *KNEW* I would find someone like you in here. There always is. Someone who heard something on the news and then extrapolates it to everything around him. Then treats it like it is the one end all be all truth. http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/atheist.htm
Yeah, you are right. It's not like I WAS a Christian at one point. I only know them from the news, like some exotic tribe on a South Pacific island. It's not like I have to fight, IN MY LOCAL SCHOOLS, to keep Christian preachers from using class time to teach religion to my kids. It's not like I have to fight, IN MY LOCAL SCHOOLS, to keep Creationism out. I never have had to hear Christians(who didn't know that I have rejected their beliefs) proclaim that people like me shouldn't be allowed to vote or hold office. No, I've never been on the end of Christian prejudice. It's all just shit I've read on CNN.
How about this? Go piss up a rope, you blind motherfucker.

So, you are not really tolerant. You are only tolerant of what people who agree with what you think is important.
