When my and my brothers were younger, my dad would tell us not to pretend to shoot each other because a real bullet might come out of what we were using...
The OP was talking about flame wars in general. As in, don't say anything that could lead to a flame war. They just used atheists bashing Jesus as an example.Housebroken Lunatic said:The OP said: "none of you atheists knocking jesus".Internet Kraken said:I mean, did you guys even try?
Im not an Atheist, I clearly said so. I said that I found Atheism to be one of the wierder things I've believed in but have since then changed...
Is that my problem? Would you rather have me lie instead?Internet Kraken said:The OP was talking about flame wars in general. As in, don't say anything that could lead to a flame war. They just used atheists bashing Jesus as an example.
So what did you do? You made a post about religion. It doesn't matter if you said not believing in god (yes I am capable of reading what you said) rather than believing in god. You still made a post that could lead to a flamewar.
Doesn't matter. You didn't need to bring religion into this. It's likely to lead to a flame war.Housebroken Lunatic said:Is that my problem?

I've clearly motivated why I said what I said, it's not like there's much point in starting a flamewar over it now is it? Im not likely to change my standpoint in the matter, regardless of how many atheists or christians decide to flame me for it.
They probably think my standpoint is just as wierd as I think theirs is, but it's not like there's any reason to ***** and bicker about it.
Because regardless of what God thinks or what Chemical Chance thinks (or whatever the hell atheists scream out when they come during sex), this forum is still intended for people entitled to their own opinions.
So im not the one starting a flamewar here, the person who decide's to try and pick a verbal fight over my opinions will...
I wash my hands of any flamewars in this thread. My post wasn't intended to be flame bait and if anyone misinteprate it as such then it's their mistake, not mine...Internet Kraken said:Doesn't matter. You didn't need to bring religion into this. It's likely to lead to a flame war.
I had a variant of this actually, back when I was quite young. I knew that other languages meant things, but I thought that everyone THOUGHT in English and wondered why they would go through the trouble of translating everything instead of just speaking the "normal way".Kermi said:This is more an example of simple childish ignorance than any kind of firm "belief" I had, but I never realised there was more than one language - I grew up speaking English and everyone I knew only ever spoke English (even kids I went to school with whose parents had immigrated and spoke other languages at home). It never occurred to me that words not in English could actually have a meaning - even after I started high school and learned a little Japanese and French, the song "Macarena" was released and I thought it was just a bunch of meaningless gibberish.
Maybe it's because that's what the crazy evangelists on TV say, just in the first person.MaxTheReaper said:Man, no offense, but whenever I read something like that, it screams "fanatic."Arsen said:That God did not exist. I left the shallow, force fed lie which prevailed due to my not wanting Him to exist due to my excuses in earlier life.
I'm not sure if it's the phrasing or what.
