IS LAUREN A BIGOT?
-
Sadly I must agree that these are just her opinions. If you have issue with them there's no need to start name-calling here. Let her know privately. If you do believe in God then you will remember the most important commandment of "love your neighbor". Though she might not agree or believe all the more reason to pray for her if you think that will help. I believe in God but I also live by the addage "all things in moderation" and it seems like for some reason today we can't do anything in moderation:sigh: Even political/religious conversations get into shouting matches between the two extremes while the rest of us who apparently just don't care enough get stuck in the middle:sigh: X| ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.
If this forum is a suitable place for Lauren to say "... I just hate religion ..." then Lauren should be ready for those who disagree to do so with vigor and be prepared to discuss. How is we have come to defend such petty hatreds? :(( I believe it would have been better to say that "Is Lauren behaving like a bigot?" Less accusatory. Hopefully, all of us can see the futility of advocating hatred. Hatred is purely destructive yet most religions promote love and helpfulness. I just don't understand how one could hate such things. It occurs to me that it simply isn't possible to hate Religion. It is the failings of human beings that have brought the blemish to it's history all over the globe. Therefore, it must be a hatred of the people. A hatred of worshipers. People who see a rainbow and remember God's promise. We will only destroy ourselves with our hatreds. Ryan Bradley

yes, this coming from someone who just wants to stick is dick in lauren. her post was not in the soapbox, but rather here in the lounge. i stand by what i said, that lauren is a hateful anti-religous extremist bigot.
Basic name calling? You're gonna have to do a lot better than that... You remind me of that guy that was on here a few years back that insulted himself to save me the time in doing it myself... Does anyone else remember that little episode? I think it was over the kuran or something... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

Actually, the secular nationalist leaders took advantage of the religious xenophobia of the populace in offering the Jews as a scapegoat for Germany's economic and social ills since WWI. Religion was used, but just as a tool.
Whoa, slow down. You probably lost him after "the"... You're using way too many multi-syllable words. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

I never said she can't have an opinion different than mine. Not that she needs my permission, but she can have and hold whatever opinions she wants to. But, if she, or anyone else for that matter, chooses to espouse those opinions, then it is incumbent upon that opinion holder/espouser to be able defend such opinions with thoughful, reasoned arguments. When opinions are made such that an entire class of people are denigrated, then that is not just an opinion, it becomes a stereotype. If someone were to say "green people are lazy" that certainly is an opionion, but it also makes that person a bigot when they hold to an opinion that is so easily disproved. So it is with lauren, she holds that religion causes bad stuff and posts a link of dubious quality to support such a dubious "opinion." When it is pointed out that the article she posted linked to is of poor quality she goes on the offensive and rather than apologize she attacks the individual.

Where proof is impossible to find we look for "confirming instances" to strenghen our assertions. The article may be of dubious quality as "proof" of the assertion that religion casues bad stuff but this thread you started and your attack on Lauren is pretty strong confirming instance. Steve T

Actually, I don't. You're doing quite well all by yourself. Your site and your demeanor say it all. I won't cross swords with an unarmed hickish hack.

Yeah, sure. Lots of people have murdered, tortured and otherwise ill treated all during the creation of this thread. Yah, good example there bud.

I've got news for you ... I am deeply religious in the context that I firmly believe in God ... but in no way did I find Lauren's posting and/or remarks nearly as offensive as your spouting off and use of profane verbiage in the lounge, which, by-the-way, is supposed to be Kid sister safe. Go wash your mouth out, and if you have something worthwhile to say, then say it. All she did was post a link to a story; nothing more. :|

yeah, fool yourself into thinking such psychobabble if you want, but I won't fall for it. I was making reference to posts that he had made in which he implied that very thing. HA.

How old are you? Twelve? My sister's youngest kid, who's 11, could come up with a better comeback than you. Perhaps you should pray to your god for some wits, in whom you seemingly don't have much faith in at all judging by your insecurity. -- Look straight into the light!

For one, it's not psychobabble. For two, it was a hunch. If you don't know the definition of the word then do yourself a favor and look it up -- that would be under the letter "H" btw. For three, the psychology is valid irregardless if you understand it or not. Granted, I was working with limited "know" at the time, but with so many variables in the world, that's why I left it as a hunch. For four, you seem to have such a short temper too. What a wonderful role model you are for Christianity. Btw, that's called sarcasm. Jeremy Falcon
