WOW! You're getting on the handicap people now!?! They don't choose to be that way. And some do reproduce without genetic interference. You know?
You're the one that needs help. I think that is real selfish to use a word like that, just because you're angry? I pity you. God for him, please. Bestow your glory upon him, so that he may find the errors of his logic. Without your blessing, there's no hope for this child. Amen.
"God for him, please. Bestow your glory upon him, so that he may find the errors of his logic. Without your blessing, there's no hope for this child. Amen."
God has never done fuck for me and is CERTAINLY not about to start now. So save your effort.
Oh, I get it, you're angry that Jesus didn't help you remove that cattle prod from your rectum that seems to be bothering you so... I wold put your name in for a blessing at the Sacred Temple.
I practice my faith under the Mormon religion. I am actually multi-spiritual. While my religious practices fall under the Mormon header, I draw my personal beliefs from a wide variety of religions. I am not defensive of my religion because my circumstances are too unique for many atheists to even be willing to listen to and understand. You dragged my religion into this argument and posted this link of poorly researched points, many of them which I have never heard in the church before and directly contradict my studies of this religion (and yes, I studied it pretty thoroughly) and while some of the points are good points, they are the same that can be made about any religion, not just Mormonism.
I am a scholar. A student. Religion is one of many of my venues. YOU as well as many others, are the ones that place so much emphasis on my beliefs, not me. I never breathed a word of my religion outside of the context in which it was called (I.E. a post about religion), I have never used my religion as an argument towards a non-religiously geared point, YOU are the one that brought it up.
People regularly accuse the religious of criticising others for their beliefs being different. I came on here speaking my mind and you did nothing but blast insults and drag religion into this, despite the fact that I didn't even mention it as a basis to my argument nor have I ever on this website outside of the proper context.
Maybe you don't find it the least bit ironic that you are the one that started attacking my religion as opposed to my argument itself and you are insulting me for being arrogant and illogical. I'm not going to apologize to you for having different beliefs from you. If truth was as simple as you make it sound, the world would be a much easier place to live in. There is more to my spirituality than blind faith in a random diety. And there is more to me than my spirituality, but you couldn't see past my faith long enough to figure it out, and something tells me that even after you have read this, you will still refuse to see past this detail of my being and dehumanize me as just another piece of religious waste. Dehumanization of others is the greatest crime humans have committed towards eachother.
But because I am a Mormon, you still don't care. And that's fine with me. Many of my friends are atheists, and they love me just as much as I love them. If it was an issue of religion, if religion was all that mattered, then I would have missed out on so much that life has to offer. I am sorry that you feel the way you do towards me but my religion has nothing to do with how big of an asshole I am.
The asshole started first. The religion came later on.

Don't worry, I have already submitted your names, when you pass on into the afterlife, you will be baptised and your herecy of this earth forgotten.
Maybe because it's the Truth?
"Don't worry, I have already submitted your names, when you pass on into the afterlife, you will be baptised and your herecy of this earth forgotten."
I'm so relieved! Seriously though, don't you find this Mormon-practise even a little bit odd (not to mention arrogant)?

"Many of my friends are atheists"
What do they think about being viewed as "immoral sinners who deserve punishment?"
