You also exaggerate the influence of atheist politics. Out of 535 members of Congress, we have one openly-atheist member. We have had no atheist Presidents, no atheist Vice Presidents, and an atheist has never been a viable candidate for office. What I do know is that most people [b]do not[/b] consider Christianity to becontradictory,intolerant,sensitive, and hypocritical. That's just stupid.
Doesn't the fact that America a majority Christian country generally being unwilling to elect a man to power just because of his religous beliefs actually help my point towards many Christians being intolerant and overly sensitive?
I was never arguing against that point. Debating sweeping generalizations doesn't really interest me. I will say that your definition of intolerance is a little strange though. Calling a Christian intolerant for wanting to vote for a Christian, is like calling a liberal intolerant because he only wants to vote for other liberals. Of course you're going to vote for someone you can agree with on most things.
No it's different because liberalism is a political ideology, while Christianity is strictly religious. You're religion shouldn't matter when you're running for office because our country was built off the ideas of Seperation of Church and State.
I don't understand why people complain about games prices. You don't have to pay full price for a new release. All you gotta do is wait a few years then pick it up for next to nothing from some chump on eBay.
If I wait a few years then it's not a new release is it?
It's already been dis-proven, since the prophecy has not come to pass for our friends in Australia. Camping had the gumption to claim that the world would be swept by an earthquake timezone by timezone, so we were supposed to be all doomed at our respective 6:00pm's.
The dude said 6PM PST, thats not for another 6 hours or so.
I survived the rapture and all I got was this lousy thread.
Just joking - as we all know, the "prophecy" failed to come true. Camping was wrong in 1994, and now he can add yet another failure in 2011 to his record. I am not a Christian, but those Christians I have talked to here in Australia were extremely dismissive of Camping and his nonsense. I can't understand why anyone would believe him. I suppose if you're rich and you say a big lie with a straight face, a whole bunch of people will believe you.
Well...The Rapture isn't supposed to happen for about another 6 hours, so we still have time until we can declare that nutjob wrong.
If we're talking 6PM Pacific, that's another eight hours, actually. Not that those extra two hours will make any sort of difference.
