Do not feel guilty.

Religious assholes uses guilt trips to intimidate and harass people all the time, turnabout is fair.

BTW
A coupple of weeks ago a made a asshole from the mormons cry.

I let him rant and rave for a while and then I asked him "Have you ever said "God Damn""?

When he said yes I pulle out my new favorite quotes.
Luke 12:10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Mark 3:22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.” (28) So Jesus . . . spoke to them . . . (28) I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. (29) But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.” (30) He said this because they were saying, “He has an evil spirit.
And told him that accoring to his book he will burn in hell. Godamn it felt good to get even with one of those assholes.

Kathryn strikes me as either a fundie housewife with too much time on her hands, or a dumbass in college who isn't doing to well in her classes.

I've read through all of the various threads people linked to from here, and they are painful beyond words. How do you debate people who refuse to address your points, and instead resort to "I'm right, you're wrong?"

That site seems to be all kids. It would take a looooonnnggg time to get through to them because they would have to be taught critical thinking first. However if someone was willing to spend the time and was good at being approachable and convincing without making them feel martyred enough to dig their heels in and say "Well I BELIEVE and you're wrong", then it's possible to reach them of course.

In fact...the more I think about it, you might even reach them FASTER than the idiot adults who have entrenched fallacies in their head.

Not exactly. Her website, according to her profile on the fundamentalist website, is http://www.xanga.com/kathy3489. It appears that her skills of logic correspond nearly perfectly with her skills of website design.

The Late Arthur Jermyn continues to try and pound some logic into Kathryn - probably not the only kind of pounding she needs, but hey...

The link for 'kathy's website didn't work. Is this what you mean?

For website design, I use notepad.

Removed the period and got the page. And regretted it. :(

Why is it these single-digit idiots insist on putting in a happy, '50's-fare background that makes the foreground hard to read. FIRST RULE OF WEB-DESIGN: THE BG SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE CONTENT! Of course, it doens't help that the bg is a bunch of asshats in dorky costumes, plus what looks like a runaway from a furvert convention. And of course, there is the hidden, Freudian subtext of gay fruits keeping company with rats. A hidden message, maybe?

Nah. She's not smart enough for that.

And then the blog entries themselves suggest the cutting wit of a blunt butter knife. Here it is, the anniversary of the terrorists taking down the WTC, and all she can say about it is how she hates the irony of this God-fearing nation being whacked by an act of God... no, wait, that's IRONING, not irony. She can't allow herself to feel sympathy for human suffering and ruined lives. No, that might be something Christ would do! :roll:

Yeah, I'm sorry you wrote your mindless drivel today, too. But if you think that's a lot, it's not. Writing the last 20 pages of a term paper in a single night in a flash of inspiration is writing a lot.

The message window closes eventually. Hold down ENTER for about 15 seconds. It's still retarded, though.

Very interesting. Your observation can only lead us to believe that she's stupid. However, there are two specific possibilities of the stupidity in question. Either she's too dumb to write an infinite loop in Javascript, or she's too dumb to copy and paste an infinitely looping Javascript script.

Yeah, I noticed that. Their parents were probably the idiots who supported adding the "Evolution is only a theory..." stickers into all biology textbooks in the Cobb County School District a few years ago. Only recently were they removed.

Evolution is the big bang? wtf?

What does that mean, exactly? Evolution has nothing to do with the big bang (I think I pointed out some of the similarities in the theories, but apart from those).

Common with creationists. Maybe they are confused by the term "cosmic evolution" or maybe they are just dishonest.

It amazes me... it truely amazes me... that these fools actually believe that they can hope to demolish these modern scientific theories threatening to take down their little house of "Jesus the Gathering" cards when they don't even understand what they're arguing against.

See, the reason why creationists nowadays get owned by scientists nowadays when they debate is because scientists now do their homework. It really pays off, because these fundies use arguments passed down from on old, like their moldy beliefs, so the well-prepared scientist can answer the questions creationists ask before the idiots can finish.

That is exactly why I am trying to post regularly at the +eteamrevolution.net forums. On a side note, the assholes who go there to beat up on the idiots and mock them are counterproductive to my intent, and I'm becoming rather pissed at certain people.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Are there big differences between male&female fundies?

Post by wautd »

Just wondering.

To those who debate a lot with their kind, can you notice one or more significant differences in tolerance, bigotry, hypocresy, spelling, wall-of-ignorance, etc... between the sexes?

Or is it simply too close to tell?
