I said I'd never heard of a case, not that there never was a case (of atheism being enforced).
You kind of missed my point by jumping on your historical know-it-all high horse. Never mind.

No text from you would be a fine thing. [nt] - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 21:07 (Views: 480)

And see, you didn't even need religion to learn intolerance. ;) [nt] - novanglus, 04-08-2010 22:14 (Views: 432)

Nor do I need it to bang my head against a wall... - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 22:40 (Views: 476)

I didn't lose'em, actually. I choose not to log in as admin...sooo...wrong again. :) [nt] - novanglus, 04-08-2010 23:49 (Views: 474)

Thanks - good read. - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 19:31 (Views: 454)

I posted the video a few weeks back in case you missed it.[nt] - Paul, 04-08-2010 19:40 (Views: 462)

Didn't see your post, but caught it on the radio. [nt] - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 19:48 (Views: 435)

Here you go. - Paul, 04-08-2010 20:03 (Views: 420)

best quote IMHO... - darth maynard, 04-08-2010 15:34 (Views: 470)

That seems to imply that only Atheists do any good in the world. - Phred, 04-08-2010 15:40 (Views: 459)

I think it implies that Christians believe only religion can effect "goodness."[nt] - Paul, 04-08-2010 17:17 (Views: 474)

I don't think that was ever taught to us... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 17:24 (Views: 422)

Due to original sin ... - Antoine Doinel, 04-08-2010 17:58 (Views: 481)

I disagree... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 18:14 (Views: 475)

Isn't that what Milton argued? - P. Briscoe, 04-08-2010 23:26 (Views: 463)

I don't know if Milton said that... - novanglus, 04-09-2010 00:02 (Views: 426)

Religion as a counterweight to strict materialism. - Antoine Doinel, 04-08-2010 18:28 (Views: 461)

A lot of things run counter to what Christianity should stand for. - Paul, 04-08-2010 17:27 (Views: 491)

Dawkins makes the point very well in "The God Delusion" also. - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 19:38 (Views: 437)

Well, dogma is "church" not Christianity, and it varies... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 18:06 (Views: 429)

I see we are being pedantic today. - Paul, 04-08-2010 18:16 (Views: 462)

I'm not being pedantic, I'm being serious. Christianity has seen many fights over "dogma" - novanglus, 04-08-2010 18:25 (Views: 431)

Both are human creations. [nt] - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 19:48 (Views: 477)

Sooo....how's atheism different? [nt] - novanglus, 04-08-2010 19:50 (Views: 422)

It`s not forced upon us from the moment we`re born! ;) [nt] - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 19:56 (Views: 427)

Wow, you must have grown up in a different environment than I did... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 20:02 (Views: 421)

Good for you. And same here - I wasn't referring to my own upbringing - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 20:14 (Views: 486)

I don't know, is it "rammed" down your throat anymore than the... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 20:20 (Views: 449)

I'm not going to carry on this discussion - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 20:30 (Views: 432)

Uh, yeah, it has been, might want to read up on your Russian history... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 20:39 (Views: 579)

re: - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 21:06 (Views: 459)

Yes, it in fact does make it wrong... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 22:17 (Views: 440)

Semantics? - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 22:41 (Views: 452)

So, because you're ignorant of the fact, it doesn't count. Interesting. [nt] - novanglus, 04-08-2010 23:52 (Views: 422)

I'll try again; I was using the term to loosely describe a broad belief, not doctrine. - Paul, 04-08-2010 18:32 (Views: 463)

I definitely think there is a lot of truth there... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 18:35 (Views: 466)

I would say that you ignore community. A vital aspect of the Church. [nt] - Antoine Doinel, 04-08-2010 18:29 (Views: 457)

You can get community anywhere. Don't need a church for it.... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 18:31 (Views: 442)

I'm an atheist and I'm evil. The rest of us must be too. [nt] - pudds, 04-08-2010 16:23 (Views: 463)

That seems to be the way he makes his decisions. - Phred, 04-08-2010 16:30 (Views: 472)

I don't think he believes in radical reinterpretation, rather ... - Antoine Doinel, 04-08-2010 15:59 (Views: 548)

I disagree with that completely... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 17:18 (Views: 483)

I don't.. - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 19:52 (Views: 447)

Clearly the church hasn`t forced me into anything... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 20:17 (Views: 502)

I don't think he said he "didn't care"... [nt] - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 20:34 (Views: 410)

"Readers may make of my work whatever they please."... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 20:44 (Views: 478)

I make of your posts what I please - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 21:05 (Views: 425)

You jumped into my posts, not the other way around... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 22:19 (Views: 447)

My "panties" are well and truly untwisted, I can assure you. - Progressivebreaks, 04-08-2010 22:42 (Views: 495)

Mmmmmmmhmmmm. Oddly enough, I don't feel like banging my head against a wall... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 23:53 (Views: 624)

Wait...you're saying the absolute extreme polar opposite statement isn't true? - Phred, 04-08-2010 16:17 (Views: 462)

No, I'm actually saying that the belief ... - Antoine Doinel, 04-08-2010 16:23 (Views: 434)

An uncontroversial assertion. Perhaps you too overinterpreted? [nt] - Phred, 04-08-2010 16:27 (Views: 416)

lol, well knowing a lot of Christians and being good friends with them, - darth maynard, 04-08-2010 15:44 (Views: 449)

To be more clear, I should probably say it's overstated. - Phred, 04-08-2010 16:12 (Views: 508)

All that for a longer version of "Dear God"... - novanglus, 04-08-2010 12:15 (Views: 482)

good read indeed [nt] - P. Briscoe, 04-08-2010 04:23 (Views: 483)
