Here is a question for Fallout; don't you think that if Christianity did not exist, those godhatesfags people would find some other reason to be hateful? They are awful because they are hateful people, and have been taught to be that way. There is nothing in the Bible that suggests the performance of actions like those they commit regularly.
The worst of their actions has no basis in Christianity. They use it to legitimize their ridiculous and evil fringe beliefs.
When I was little we used to always give up chocolate for lent and then get tons of chocolate for easter
that was basically all I knew about being catholic
Just remember, masturbation is a sin.
if god didn't want me to masturbate he wouldn't have invented kleenex
Generally I find it more fulfilling to do something extra for Lent alongside giving something up. For the last few years I've been making my way through the Gospels, and this year I'm up to the Gospel of Luke. I'm also giving up extraneous sugar.
Also, for all Catholics, a reminder that today is supposed to be a fasting day. So no meat, but also much less food in general.
If you're going to get technical, no birth control, sex before marriage, and give them 10% of your total income for the year.
Not even just premarital sex. Cohabitation before marriage is also bad.
My wife's extended family is Catholic. I wonder how they felt about us living in sin before we were married.
Apparently I'm more important to them than their god. Heh.
My mother told me she wouldn't pay for my sisters wedding if she cohabitated with her boyfriend before they got married.
I spent the next 15 minutes presenting her with the obvious fact that such a choice had literally zero impact on my mother's life and that such petty retribution made no sense in light of that fact.
It was pretty awesome, she saw my point and everything and had no way to support the assertion.

Bigots are bigots, whether they're Catholic or Atheist. Idiots like those in that picture give the rest of us a bad name.
Shoot, Kevin Smith's a Catholic, and look at the stuff he makes films about.

oh i'm sure the promise of eternal life doesn't factor into it at all
i never said that everything a christian ever touched was bad, i just don't think that a belief in absurd mysticism should be encouraged in anyone
Yes but you see "absurd mysticism" is a point of view, and one that smacks of condescending douchebaggery at that.
you'll have to forgive me for not being able to muster up a whole lot of respect for a worldview centered around a belief in magic
i mean you think a guy died and then just walked it off
There's a whole big pile of secular improvement to the quality of life that goes hand in hand with the concept of the "eternal reward" in heaven, Fallout. So even if you prefer to ridicule the notion of an afterlife, and you're certainly not alone in that, it's fallacious and offensive to suggest that the reason any people of any religion do something is so they can have it good when they cash in their spiritual chips.
i never said that everything a christian ever touched was bad
yes, there are good side effects that come along with the religion, like feeding the hungry
there are also perfectly good secular philisophical reasons to believe that it's good to help your fellow man
there are fewer secular excuses for these guys
And the secular excuse for this atheist?
ooh ooh lemme guess
uhh... hunger for power, absolute paranoia at losing it and no remorse for anyone?
the only thing that makes an atheist an atheist is a disbelief in a god, at the very least he wasn't failing to live up to any professed spiritual values afaik

are you really gonna make me bust out the H word
I'm baffled by this post.
You just talked shit on people doing objectively good things because of their belief system
and when people pointed out that the market for doing terrible shit is not cornered by religious fundamentalists, you point out that one of Stalin's up-sides was that he wasn't a hypocrite because he had not religious mantra to betray?

No, I don't think people are born destined to hate others for a given reason and then latch onto the nearest convenient justification. I think people have reasons for what they do, even if they're shitty ones.

I don't drink at all, so that's one criteria I don't have to worry about.

I don't think that either, but I think if you are born into and raised in an environment that reinforces the belief that not only is hate OK, but that there is a divine being that shares and encourages such feelings and actions, then I can see why they might think that way.

Jesus never bled wine. Catholics believe that the wine is "transubstantiated" into his blood during the consecration. This is a literal belief and is almost certainly the most ridiculous thing about Catholicism.

i mean, xenophobia is human nature, but i think not having the will of god himself on their side would definitely take the wind out of'em

I think they came up with that so they'd have an excuse to get drunk at Mass.
the only thing that makes a theist a theist is a belief in a god
HOLY SHIT LOOK WHAT I DID THERE
PEOPLE ARE MORE THAN THEIR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION

i didn't..........
i give up
(still love you though)
If you concede this point, then I don't understand why you're being condescending/angry toward religious belief.
My point with the Stalin thing was that people don't need religion to do heinous shit, and saying that heinous shit is worse when committed by religious nuts is hells of retarded.

Look, dude, I went to Catholic school for thirteen years, can't you let me feel like the reams of sacramental knowledge I have are of some use to anyone, anywhere, ever?

It is religious symbolism and nothing more.
fucking of course Jesus did not bleed wine.
He bled Jamaican Rum actually. Remnants of it were found on the head of the spear of destiny.

If in Catholic school they taught you that you drink actual blood every Sunday because of magic, then I posit you did not actually go to Catholic school.

Well, then you're not Catholic. It is a literal belief and is in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Eucharist becomes his body as well.
As I said, by far the most ridiculous thing Catholics are supposed to believe. I say supposed to because I can't honestly believe even the majority of them think that it's true.

good to know Fallout's still a dick, though
Jesus bled and turned water into wine. It's not a request I see him making.

I don't think he's a dick at all, really, just super angry at the world.
I fucking empathize.
What's bleeding got to do with making water into wine?
I don't think that either, but I think if you are born into and raised in an environment that reinforces the belief that not only is hate OK, but that there is a divine being that shares and encourages such feelings and actions, then I can see why they might think that way.

shouldn't you be jacking off on anime figures with sarukun somewhere
oh sweet someone being a condescending asshole towards religious beliefs
glad things are right on track
Bleeds wine.
Nothing. I am saying he bled wine (I'll bet he drank a lot) and made wine from water therefor alcohol isn't a no no as far as Jesus is concerned.
And is made of bread.
Jesus Party Snacks.
yeah, that's what i mean
i mean, xenophobia is human nature, but i think not having the will of god himself on their side would definitely take the wind out of'em
Empathize all you want, his frustrations are misdirected and his fashion of dealing with them is juvinile.
Just what the world needs more of.
