argh

Post by Yuri Prime »

Two girls tried to convert me on AIM this morning. They were only 12 and 13. It was very cute at first, but alas, I could not allow ignorance to persist, so I pointed out just one Biblical fallacy. Then, they launched into, "you proved me wrong, so I'm not going to talk to you anymore, meanie." Grrr... how annoying.

Don't give your threads names like 'argh'. I thought you were choking so I rushed in to help.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

I hate people like that... If you want to practice a religion, fine, just don't try to drag me into it damnit. (I get enough of it at home living with Southern Baptists, don't need YOU doing it too)

Did they select you randomly, or did you do something first?

This is what happens when you take Religion outta schools!

Or am I thinking RCC Priests in Schools?
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
