[Stoked]

[fishonjazz]

They believe anything is possible.

Both real and fake

As cute as when you sit on your own high horse and dictate whose racist and who isn't.

You mean, everyone and no one, respectively?

Who is logical and reasonable and who isn't.

You mean, everyone and everyone (at different times), respectively?

Hypocrite.

Shouldn't you be able to state my views before you decide to label them?

But once again you missed the entire topic.

When did you start worrying about not going on tangents?

You are free to think as you want. As am I and I see belief in anything God related. That's how I see it. To me it is all belief.

Well, goody-goody-gumdrops for you. You feel free to keep on believing that I have to have some belief, I'll keep on not having a belief.

 

[One Brow]

Mine was simply the existence of God. To me you either believe He is real or you believe He is fake.

So, do you believe Allah is real or do you believe god is fake?

 

[VINYLONE]

I have a question for stoked.

Do you believe in the flying spaghetti monster. I even have a picture of what the monster looks like:

Do you believe that it exists?

 

[Stoked]

So, do you believe Allah is real or do you believe god is fake?

I believe the are the same God. Just different interpretations of Him.

Edit: Also love that since it all boils down to belief for me when it comes to religion that some people cannot handle that. They have to resort to sarcasm, mocking and other failing tactics. Classy.

We're mocking a notion that you can decide the lack of belief is an impossible state, based on no good reason at all. The hubris of your suggestion is staggering, and the mockery deserved.

According to you.

Keep in mind this is a specific case about the existence of God not the over all notion that a lack of belief is possible on some random topic. To me it boils down to faith. In my opinion, you believe a higher power (God in this example) exists, you believe it does not or you do not know and believe that it is possible. That is how I see it.

It is no less viable then your assertion that there is no belief here. Your intention of mockery fails as my view in the matter does not require your acceptance or even respect. The difference here is that I can respect your opinion even while I disagree. The fact that you cannot return the favor and mock it at all speaks of your own intolerance.

 

[One Brow]

According to you.

Yes, according to me, living in my mind, as opposed to you, a person with no access to my thoughts. While fully acknowledging that people often misunderstand themselves, and I could be misunderstanding myself, telling me that my conscious understanding is wrong about my conscious understanding is the height of arrogance.

In my opinion, you believe a higher power (God in this example) exists, you believe it does not or you do not know and believe that it is possible. That is how I see it.

I believe it is possible there is some sort of Goddish existence, but see no evidence for this and no reason to accept it. Therefore, I know there is no God in the same way I know there are no unicorns: provisionally, based on the absence of evidence.

The difference here is that I can respect your opinion even while I disagree.

I seem to recall you have not exhibited all that much respect when I talked about how you, as a human, process things unconsciously in light of your being human; demanding respect while you talk about how I process things consciously seems an ill-suited companion position.

Oh you mean when I call you out when you get snippy, smug and dismissive of others? I try my best to treat you as you treat others. Not perfect but I feel I do a decent job.

You got dimissive and introduced a mocking tone here and in other places. But yes we are all human and err. Apology accepted.

 

[PearlWatson]

And then, to top it off, you talk about "forcing" gay marriage. Who is it being forced on?

Americans

 

[PearlWatson]

Hmmmm. So let's say two men or women who have met in college and are gay virgins decided to have sex. This act of [sodomy], you consider no better than being drunk, being adulterous or the equivalent of flashing someone?

I made a list of behaviors people have disagreed with.
Disagreeing with behavior is different than disagreeing with looks (color of skin) as was the original bad comparison.
