Chris Zewe Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 [quote name='Pio Nono' date='Jan 2 2005, 05:09 PM'] Under his system, men who propogate the bombing of abortion clinics [i]and die[/i] (my edit) are martyrs. I guess my presentation of his argument was just fine. [/quote] Yes, you did. Just because you view a cause as morally wrong doesn't mean it can't have martyrs. [i]Well, at least I'm glad we're avoiding ridiculously overblown stereotypes. [/i] I was fighting an overblown stereotype with another. I think. Too busy to check. [i]Theoketos and I went to pray in front of it just the other day. There were about six of us praying the rosary on the public sidewalk in front. Meanwhile, inside, children were being murdered in the safest place on earth: the womb.[/i] A few things...first off, I don't care about unborn kids. They can't think rationally, I can't see them without the help of technology, and if their parents are even considering abortion, the kid is going to have a less-than-satisfactory life. Second (irrelevant for the most part, mind you), whenever Wiccans (druids, Asatrus, etc. included) do anything like that in public, they're spit upon, threatened, mocked, laughed at excessively, and the like. Why doesn't that happen to people like you? And why did you feel the need to do it there? [i]I'm amazed that nobody has brought up the fact that this person has a very protestant, literal, and non-scriptural view of Hell as an actual physical place where actual physical burning occurs. Hell is simply a separation from God. And you really can't blame Christians for being cruel or the religion for being elitist if that is the reality of hell. That would be like saying "I hate Christianity because separating myself from God leads to eternal separation from God." Oh yeah, that makes good sense. [/i] I don't really care how you view your imaginary pit of fire. I'm seperated from your deity as is, so am I living in hell? If so, what happens when I die and don't go to heaven? Do I get the eternal rest I want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to respond to your additions after you go confess your sins to a child molester. [/quote] Oh wow! Did you find a completely un-educated remark concerning your religion to be irritating? I guess I figured you wouldn't mind since you seem to enjoy doing it to others so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see any senseless generalizations in there. [/quote] 1) Some do. I've yet to see a report of a Wiccan high priestess or a rabbi molesting an eight-year-old boy. Keep in mind that this was a counter to an equally idiotic remark. 2) It's true -- that is the basis of Christianity and Judaism. Islam too, for all I know. 3) Missionaries coerce them. 4) They do. 5) Some do. This was also a counter. Senseless differs from applying to a miniscule minority.
