Speaking of Atheists...

here's a little snippet from the article:



and here's another one:

Nice

love the last line of that article.

1 Athiests 0 bad Christians (not all Christians are bad, just the ones in the story!)

Atheists using Biblical scripture- 1--

People who lie under oath, like Bill Clinton- 0 --

You're really reaching tonight, huh?

Then a tornado ripped up the house of that perjurer.

Who was Christian.

The liar was the principal of the Christian school.

You do realise bad people DO seek out refuge in a place where people trust them. The fact there are bad people everywhere doesn't mean everyone is bad.

Reading comprehension just isn't your strong suit is it? It states very clearly in the article that the school is a public high school.

I don't think the average Christian is necessarily bad at all -- merely ignorant and misled. Great evil is done in the name of Christianity, and indeed, I think it's safe to say that Christianity itself is fundamentally evil, but that doesn't mean that all Chrisitians are evil by any stretch.

Great article, by the by.

Where in the article does it say public school? I see this....

"In closing argument, Edwin told the jury that it really should not be necessary for an Atheist to tell them it is wrong to lie under oath, as he reminded them the Christian school officials and the police had done in their sworn trial testimony. "Thou shall not bare false witness against thy neighbor. Ninth Commandment. Eight if you are Roman Catholic," Kagin said."

Of course you are not following my posts. I was referring to the second article, as I stated. Now, whose reading comprehension are we talking about again?

Let's reverse your little jag at people you don't understand......
"I don't think the average Atheist is necessarily bad at all -- merely ignorant and misled. Great evil is done in the name of Atheism, and indeed, I think it's safe to say that Atheism itself is fundamentally evil, but that doesn't mean that all Atheists are evil by any stretch."

Wow, Kevn, is english not your first language? "The Christian school officials" means "the officials, who were Chrisitan" not that it was a Christian school. Hello?

Do you think the "The Christian school officials" were officials of a public school?

Chip, you do realize there are 2 articles in play, right?

Yes, it was a public school, but even if it had been a Christian school they'd still have been in the wrong, unless you think perjury and slander are A-OK as long as it's against an atheist.

Edit: I see you deleted your post as I was responding to it.

Thank you for clarifying it was a single article, Joy didn't make it clear in her first post. But regardless, my point stands. So the principal was a Christian at a public school. Who cares what school it was? I would guess you are far more familiar with that atheist site an I.

The point is.... The atheists won by using scripture to make their point.

He was pointing out their hypocrisy. Do you think they wouldn't have won the case had they not quoted scripture? *laughs* You're getting desperate, Kevn.

Why point to hypocrisy to argue a case? Was it just add on to beat the Christian up? A way to make a negative comment about ones faith, to rub salt in the wound?

First off, I don't believe that Christianity is FUNDAMENTALLY evil. I believe that ALL religions are fundamentally GOOD. It's just the assholes looking for power, money and control that fuck it up.

Second, Kevn, I know you're trying, but it's not working. Pointing out hypocricy isn't "using scripture". The atheists won by pointing out rules that the Principal and the rest automatically agreed to follow, the instant they proclaimed their Christianity. Knowing these rules and pointing out the discrepancies isn't "using scripture", it's knowing rules.
Would you rather the lawyer go in ignorant of these rules? How would that help his client?

Also, the whole Bill Clinton thing? Time to give that one up. He got a blowjob. Come on.

Third, you didn't catch that they were about the same case when both quotes were CLEARLY about the Chuck Smalkowski case, even going so far as to STATE HIS NAME?

Joy's right. Reading comprehension ISN'T your strong suit.

Well deserved salt. They're lucky that's all they got. Perjury is a federal crime.

Are you serious? Come on. You're just fucking with us now, aren't you?

The whole case is about Christianity. It's about saying the Lord's Prayer and lies were told about the person that didn't want to say it, which is her inalienable right.
One of the rules of Christianity... and there's only 10 of 'em... is "Thou shalt not bear false witness"

I know it looks like an attack, but surely even YOU can take off the Troll wig for long enough to admit these people were in the wrong.

*hands Kevn a box of kleenex and a nail puller*

Why kick the girl off the team in the first place? Who was rubbing the salt in the wound first?

Sorry, I went to bed last night and didn't have time to hold Kevn's hand through the first couple of paragraphs of that article. Here is where it's CLEARLY STATED the school is a public school:


Bolded & colored for Kevn. It was there last night. It's still there this morning. I still don't see how you managed to miss that.

He just saw the word atheist and immediately started fishing for something to pick apart. We're evil doncha know.
