So you're trying to say Hitler was just an athiest in xian clothing? Kind of a reach, but if it helps you sleep at night go with it. Even if Stalin was an atheist, it's not like he did what he did in the name of atheism, it was in the name of the state, which is a pretty different aim. Religion may have been a victim in his crusade, but it was collateral and not the main focus. Seeking truth then finding religion does not mean religion is truth, it means you failed to find truth and settled for what makes you feel good about your failure.
Your comment doesn't merit anything beyond mockery. To lend this type of ignorant diatribe with anything other than derision would be lending it a credulity that it simple does not deserve. I figured you'd be used to this type of thing by now.
This is perhaps the most ignorant thing I have read on/. . Congratulations on your achievement sir. I assume your screen flashed when you hit submit and you got an "achievement unlocked" logo at the bottom of your screen.
Yeah, because that stopped people from protesting abortion clinics after bombings and assassinations. The fact is WBC is a sympathetic cause to a lot of american fundamentalists, they just don't want to admit it because of the protesting at soldiers funerals. If those crazy fucks only protested at leftwing organizations and rallies then they would be all right with the majority of american xians.
If you think that shit came from the 50's, you're mistaken, This manufactured outrage and other extreme right wing bullshit are products of a modern generation that is afraid of the world changing around them. There is no golden age of religious fundamentalism except maybe now. Perhaps people paid lip service to it a bit more back then, but they didn't have the same fervor for it than they do now.

Nicely put. To further expound upon the point of unjustified outrage, ever hear of "The War on Christmas?" The Muslims are just using mock outrage to justify their intolerance of everyone else's point of view in the same way you constantly hear xian's talk about being persecuted.
No, Religious people are seeking solace, which is distinctly different from the truth. Seeking truth in this manner can lead you to do atrocious things like Hitler, who believed his people were gods chosen and that the Jews killed Jesus. The leaders of N. Korea are fiercely religious, they have a state religion where KJI's father was the state god. Calling Hitler and atheist is ignorance, you've just invalidated your whole point.
I don't necessarily thing Islam (and I did know all this about Islam) is evil as much as ALL religion is evil. If we, as a species are to progress, we kind of have to wipe out all of this ridiculous bullshit from our culture.
Sorry I didn't mean to imply that ridding yourself of your actual FB account was easy, I just meant that it's much easier to keep things private when you don't have the great satan of FB on your back. Deleting a FB account is notoriously difficult. It's not quite herpes, but it's pretty close to it.
This. Why are people so fucking pleased with an apology? If there is a particularly bad pothole in the road, I want an apology and to have it fixed. If a civil authority fails to follow the same laws it imposes on it's populace, heads should roll and jail sentences should be handed out.
Man, don't you know that when MS does it, it's a colossal fuck up, but when Apple does it, it's a feature? I understand it's hard to make the distinction sometimes.
I bet the people these place prey on do not know that.
That's pretty much the foundation of these rent to own business. That's why they are set up primarily in low income neighborhoods. People think they are getting a good deal by paying $10 a week for their TV but end up paying 200% over what they could have got it for otherwise.
If you're going 60 mph on a major highway, you might as well just stay home. I don't want you in my way. Just because you're not in a hurry doesn't mean no one else is.

What? Surely you jest sir. Oh, I'm sorry I meant No Shit.
Water is the most important part of the cleansing. The soap could almost be ancillary if you had enough clean water.

Religious people are at least seeking the truth.

+1 exactly right on.

I agitated the fanboys apparently. They get butt hurt when you insult their sacred trinkets. Refer to Libya for more references.

right, it's more like 2.5-3 times more.

The first step is to break these idiotic FB chains in the first place. It's pretty easy.

The whole racket is shady as fuck from top to bottom, would you really be surprised to find out they were up to no good with this data?
