Where do babies come from?

[Queen Michael]

Another assumed that I was reading it for school. She couldn't phantom someone reading books in a different language for fun. *sigh*

Dear gods, whyever not? I read books and comics in my native Swedish, in English... Now and then I even read manga in Dutch, a language I don't speak! But it resembles Swedish to such a degree that I can easily figure out what's being said, like for instance when somebody says "Uit het venster! Dat springt uit het venster!"

"Who invented the egg?" I kid you not. Someone next to me in a a history class asked our teacher this.

I would never stop laughing

Best one i've heard

Was Lord Of The Rings before or after dinosaurs?

Do I win?

You can have second place. I can't get over the "do they speak both English and Asian" thing.

We don't have morals. We have something better.

Common Sense.
Logic.
The ability to think freely.

I have Common Sense, Logic, and the Ability to think Freely regardless of my Religious Upbringing (I am a Catholic, though most people here would swear I am a "Christian Deist"). Why? Because I don't think of god as some stiff prick who'll burn your face off if you look at him. To me, God is the most caring person in the universe, and is like "As long as your good out does your bad, you get into my kingdom", and he just laughs at anyone who makes fun of him and says "Yeah, that's funny".

1. Do you go to Church?
2. Do you pray before meals?
3. Do you hate homosexuals?
4. Do you hate abortion?
5. Do you hate contraception?
6. Do you use God as an excuse for anything?
7. Do you quote the Bible where it isn't relevant?
8. Are you opposed to sex before marriage?

If you answered yes to 4 or less of them, then you are of tolerable faith. I abhor the restrictions religion puts on people. As if the restrictions by governments and laws weren't enough. I'll take all the personal freedom I can get, thank you very much.

Nice generalization. Thanks for insulting a very large chunk of the world's population. I'm certain you're only insulting Christians, because people love to insult "religion" and yet defend Buddhism and Islam and Scientology.
1. Do I go to church? Yes. What's it to you?
2. Once again, what's it to you? Does it hurt you if I choose to pray?
3. I believe homosexuality is immoral, but I do not hate homosexuals. Or liars. Or smug bastards.
4. I can hate abortion if I want because I have a different view of the value of human life than you do.
5. I don't hate contraception because it helps there be less abortion, abandoned babies, and families that can't handle their kids. And nowhere in the bible does it say sex has to make kids.
6. I do not use God as an excuse. He gave a mind of my own, and I use it under my own will as does everyone else. It's precisely because of free will that the world is screwed up, but it's better than slavery.
7. I don't quote the Bible at all unless I'm discussing the Bible itself with a fellow Christian.
8. I'm not opposed to sex before marriage. I do, however, support mating for life, out of a belief that that's the way we're made, and hope those who choose that path will make that contract binding. I personally believe that promiscuity is wrong, but that opinion need not harm you.


EDIT: MANY but not all forms of ORGANIZED religions put restrictions on people to control them. Often these rules aren't even in their holy texts.

I will never defend any religion. ESPECIALLY Buddhism, considering how much that restricts some people. I focused on Christianity in particular because the person I was quoting was Christian. I will do the same for ANY religion.

1. Fine. Nothing wrong with that.
2. Again, nothing wrong with it.
3. How is it immoral? Most religious texts mention condemn it ONCE, but they then condemn heterosexuality dozens of times.
4. A foetus is not an independent life-form. It cannot survive without the mother, therefore it is dependent. The person it is dependent on should decide what to do with it.
5. The Pope (Who is this 'bridge' between Heaven and Earth) condemns contraception (But mostly condoms), and he is the representative of Christianity.
6. Good, but there are people who don't think freely, who just use God as an excuse whenever they see something they don't understand, and condemn other theories.
7. Good.
8. Nothing wrong with that. It's the promotion of abstinence I hate. It's just one more rule for young, horny teenagers to break.

I couldn't give a flying f%@* if I insult Christianity. What are they going to do? Murder is a sin, is it not?

3. It's almost universally considered worthy of death in most religious texts although genuine Christians believe they have no right to punish or therefore judge.
You are entirely dependent on many things. Being hooked to a dialysis machine makes me a dependent so it's ok to kill me if i was without it? how about air? Water? You can't live without them. Your kids are fully dependent on you until their teens, they would most likely die if abandoned. Is it ok to kill them?
5. The Pope is the leader of the last remaining rremnants of the Holy Roman Empire aka the Vatican, which is CHRISTIAN, not CHRISTIANITY. No Protestant believes he's really a representative of God. You don't ELECT prophets.
6. All beliefs have bigots, even atheism. Like the belief that I'm stupid for being religious. Your disdain for all religion, as opposed to just not giving a damn, shows you are in this group.

Your disdain for religion and only caring to know people who are barely religious shows how intolerant you are. You don't care, as you say, who you insult. But what if they were to insult you? Are you firm enough in your beliefs? Do you want your own beliefs to be tolerated? Then man up and show the respect you want from others.

But my own beliefs AREN'T tolerated. There are some Christians who have killed atheists claiming to be doing "The work of God". As a result, why should I be tolerant of intolerance? People have insulted me and my beliefs many times (Mostly because I live in an area with a lot of elderly church-goers). I have always defended myself with the points I have made and have never once thought that it was a bad decision.

3. Exactly. You are not the one to judge or punish people for their lifestyles. Apparently, God is. I don't see many homosexuals dying by the hand of God, but by those who follow Him.
4. Refer to my earlier post.
5. Fine. He is the representative of the Roman Catholic Church. It is the worse half, to be honest, as they are much more hypocritical. Are you Catholic or Protestant?
6. I never, ever mentioned the word stupid, at any point.

Well played, blaming 21st century Christians for the Inquisition and the cleansings of early Colonial America. Hitler and Stalin were atheists, yet I do not blame you. You persecute a faith for the deeds of a few so long ago as to be barely remembered, but you donn't take credit for the misdeeds of atheists. Tell me why that's not hypocrisy.

Because we, as atheists, represent ourselves. I do not make it a point to hang around with other atheists and share atheist ideas. To call atheists a faith group is false as the whole point of being an atheist is that we don't follow a particular faith, and therefore each individual is accountable for their own actions, not for the actions of other atheists.

Also, I never mentioned Hitler or Stalin. Not least because neither of those people specifically targeted atheists, but because I was referring to the actions of certain individuals in the past 20 years. You can't ignore the history of your faith as a fairly bloody one, whether it happened yesterday or 2000 years ago.

"You're a vegetarian?! Whoa, what do you EAT??" / "So, can you eat, like, chicken?" / "So, can you eat, like, hamburgers and stuff??" / many variations on that one..

This, and a story I like to tell when my bro and I played Left 4 Dead for the first time.

Brother (after seeing "Bill killed Hunter appear on the screen): "Who's Hunter?"

Quoted from another forum:

First of all, Hitler wasn't an atheist.

Second, while Stalin and Mao were athiests, they did not perpetrate their atrocities because of their atheism. There is nothing about atheism that necessarily leads to mass murder or genocide.

Atheism is simply the lack of belief in god.

Contrast this with the Inquisition. The atrocities perpetrated were because of a doctrine held by the church, and the thoughts/actions of those deemed to be heretical. Christianity can be blamed in this instance, while in the examples above atheism cannot.

"Are all the Swedish politic parties Communists?" no, they are Socialists if you look closely how they want everything to be. exept the Swedish democrats (nazi party)

They are not nazi, they are racist if anything... There is one helluva difference between the two.

They are nazi what the hell do they mean whith "Our swedish women shall not give birth to immigrant kids" that's pretty nazi and I hope they F***ing die for saying that.....

No, thats a racist statement. If you would say something like "our master race" or "our women will not give birth to children of any race than that of our own becuse those f****g jews/gypsies/handicap people is the source of all problems" then that would be nazi.
But do not think I'm defending them, I dislike their agenda. But I still belive it is important that you can see the difference between a nazi party and a racist one.

I'm a immigrant (well, I'm born in sweden) but they ain't really nice meeting, I'm tired of lissening too them and heir F***ing immigrant bashing saying we all need to crawl back into caves beacose we are not blue eyed.... so still saying they are not nazi? I know my enemies.

Nazis were racist, but not all racists are Nazis.

On topic: "Why do you play Pokemon/World of Warcraft/(insert any game here)?"
Gee, I don't know. Certainly not because I find it FUN or anything, that would just be ridiculous.

"Why did you decide to be bisexual?" / "Are you bi just for attention?" / "Why can't you just pick one gender?"
Well, unlike everyone else, I got to pick and choose my own genes! Amazing, huh? So, of course, I decided to choose a sexuality that would get me constantly ridiculed and bothered all the time. Seriously, if I COULD choose, don't you think I would choose the 'acceptable' and 'normal' sexuality so people like you would shut up?

"Wait, you have a girlfriend- so you're a lesbian! You'd need a girlfriend AND a boyfriend to be bisexual, right?"
Oh, of course! I need to be a cheating slut to qualify for my own sexuality. Thanks for letting me know!

People are so ignorant it's unbelievable.

Nazis were racist, but not all racists are Nazis. Nazis ARE racist but racist don't need to be nazis but Svergie democraterna is, *sigh* can't peapole yust accept that instead of saying something is slightly different than it is than they probably haven't met the a**holes.

"Is football the game with the funny shaped ball?"

 

[cplsharp]

from working in game on the highstreet, someone casually struts over to me holds out an xbox360 game and says "is this for the pc?"...... this is a good time to reconsider birth control...

are sure he wasn't just asking if it was you know also on the pc and not a console exclusive.

my sister once asked "wasn't hitler the one all the jews liked

Yep completely sure, i asked him that same question, to which he replied "no is this for pc it has microsoft on it", i also had a guy tell me his system specs where "windows vista" would it run company of heroes..... some people worry me they really do haha

I work at a coffee shop, while sitting outside with all of our lights off, in my street clothing, sitting down smoking with my co-worker, a customer came and asked us if we were closed. At this point I would like to point out that right above my head there was a sign that read 'Closed'. To answer your question, babies come from Halo reach, and after they come home from grade 4 they go back to playing halo reach.

What do you have against reach?

I don't have a problem with Halo Reach, I have a problem with people who sound like they are 10 and playing Halo Reach. I had just been in quite a few matches with people who could not have bought the game on their own merits, and was frustrated with it that day. I play that game quite frequently, if your on XBL the perhaps we will meet as teammates, or greatest foes, look for Deviant Winter.
