[QUOTE=Majache;18908087][I]Because by getting the attention of more people you increase your chances of success in court.[/I][/Quote] And how so? Considering how you call this a small issue, you'd think a lawsuit wouldn't be needed at all.
[QUOTE=Majache;18908087][I]Because by getting the attention of more people you increase your chances of success in court.[/I][/QUOTE] I have to agree here. If you want to win anything, get the general media on your side and you will be having picnics in no time. [quote]Stop making irrelevant posts if you don't want me to comment on them and their relation to the topic.[/QUOTE] Stop trying to insinuate arguments. However irrelevant my post is to the thread, it gives you no basis to apply them to the situation. I'm not trying to change your opinion. In fact, your posts seem to take everything at face value. My use of the word death within an analogy does not directly translate into the situation of the video.
[QUOTE=Aman V;18905556]In the past 200 years atheism has risen to around 17% worldwide and is constantly rising. You can pretty much predict the future. People are waking up from the dark ages.[/QUOTE] also is the world population is rising see a pattern? and what i say is if you dont agree then you can get out. thats what we do to people speaking out against the government in a BIG way like to replace it with a radical thing. called deporting but you can just go to California where all the gays/atheists/scientologists/PEDA/PEDOs go to they shouldnt have to change if 99% of the people want to do it and just 1% doesnt. thats what a Democracy is. and it works for the most part Atheists arent hated anywhere i have been. maybe secretly by my friends who are really religious or maybe they just dislike them. we should just all accept it and move on. act like Religion doesnt play a part in our lives. you can still have a prayer after a basketball game with atheists. Better safe than sorry might as well worship just in case. lol
[QUOTE=Archy;18908104]And how so? Considering how you call this a small issue, you'd think a lawsuit wouldn't be needed at all.[/QUOTE] It was a small issue they could win on. So they fought and won. That's how life works.

We're talking about good old apathetic recognition. Well that sort of depends on whether you listen not what the Bible says or not. Pascal's wager = a shitty wager. Don't make it.
[QUOTE=Majache;18908170]It was a small issue they could win on. So they fought and won. That's how life works. [/quote] Yeah, but why? Even if they do win, the town's still gonna hate them.
[QUOTE=Archy;18908069][img]http://www.kaitaia.com/funny/pictures/ThreadHijack/thread_direction.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Er, no, not really. This is actually more on topic than most threads.

Even if they do win, the town's still gonna hate them.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but then hopefully the people involved will get at least some sort of penalty. Justice and all that. And, yeah, the town hates them either way, so, why the fuck not?
What's the point? She could've gotten out of the situation without the drama if she just moved. She'd avoid legal costs, the internet and a whole bunch of shit.
[QUOTE=Archy;18907904]By [I]moving,[/I] or by [I]not[/I] getting her story on [I]TV.[/I] Sweet Jesus you have no imagination. She should have kept the case discreet, that way she wouldn't look like an attention whore. She probably isn't even one in real life! It's just making her look bad.[/QUOTE] First of all how dare you tell us atheists to mind our own business. There are tons of fucking christians pushing theirs beliefs on atheists. I am sure there would be a bunch of christians making a big deal if they were in the same situation as this girl. What if you were one of the only Christians at your school and everyone made fun of you for it and accused you of stealing to kick you off the basketball team, just because you believe in god. Would you say you don't believe in god just to fit in, because that is what you are basically telling us atheists, you are telling us to say we believe in god when we really don't. I have a right to believe what I want and I shouldn't be discriminated against because of it. Also the only reason that atheists think they are smarter than theists is because they don't blindly believe a 2000 year old book and discriminate people who don't believe what they believe. And the main explaination for their beliefs is "the bible says its true so therefore it is". Also I live in Oklahoma, and if I told my family that i was an atheist I think they would dis-communicate me. Just because there is a few of us and a lot of you doesn't mean you should have all the authority. That is like white people saying there better than black people just because they are white. That is a form of religious racism. I don't care how kindly you tell us we need to shut up and mind our own business, it is still very hateful to say.

Once again, maybe she isn't a pussy wallflower who can't handle some attention. 2. But then she'd simply incur the costs of FUCKING MOVING, which are much higher than legal fees. 3. Why the hell would a musician/athlete give a fuck about what the internet thinks about her?
this is why religion shouldn't be discussed over the internet.

Theist doesn't specifically refer to Christians. 2. That doesn't really make you smarter. If anything it just makes you less odd, in a sense. 3. The term is excommunicate. Though maybe that's just Catholics. I'm rather surprised. Despite your post being poorly written, your point is pretty damn fine. Props.

I'm saying that the entire situation shouldn't have been aired on TV. It kind of makes her look like an attention whore.
hey guys guess what shut up thats what
[QUOTE=iownuall;18908322]this is why religion shouldn't be discussed over the internet.[/QUOTE] Well it's even worse IRL so I don't see why we shouldn't discuss it in a place where bullshit is easier to debunk.
Maj, just look at my previous posts. She's not going to improve how the town feels about her by doing this.
[QUOTE=iownuall;18908322]this is why religion shouldn't be discussed over the internet.[/QUOTE] Yeah because every christian finds a way to kindly tell an atheist he/she should mind his/her own business and keep his/her beliefs to him/herself when they go out trying to convert people over to their beliefs.
[QUOTE=Archy;18908367]I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the entire situation shouldn't have been aired on TV. It kind of makes her look like an attention whore.[/QUOTE] Or a good strategist, depending on how petty you are. And, once again, you are a total pussy. I really want to stress that.

[QUOTE=Archy;18908388]Maj, just look at my previous posts. She's not going to improve how the town feels about her by doing this.[/QUOTE] Maybe that's not her fucking goal Einstein. In fact, that's the opposite of her goal, and you'd know that if you read any of the multiple posts in which I expressly told you so.
holy fuck, those people are going to hell :downs: those school assholes, not the atheists. also her dad is awesome.
[QUOTE=Majache;18908396]Or a good strategist, depending on how petty you are. And, once again, you are a total pussy. I really want to stress that.[/QUOTE] It doesn't make you a total pussy. Taking the situation nonchalantly doesn't make you any less a will minded person than the next guy.

[editline]10:25AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Edthefirst;18908424]It doesn't make you a total pussy. Taking the situation nonchalantly doesn't make you any less a will minded person than the next guy.[/QUOTE] Refusing to handle a situation just because you don't want someone to think ill of you is pussy behavior.
Dammit Maj, get the idea! I'm saying that if [B]I[/B] were in [B]HER[/B] shoes, [B]I[/B] wouldn't have accepted an [B]INTERVIEW[/B]! [img]http://www.terraspirit.com/memories/021406_rage.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Archy;18908278]What's the point? She could've gotten out of the situation without the drama if she just moved. She'd avoid legal costs, the internet and a whole bunch of shit.[/QUOTE] Yeah, those atheists should just shut up and get to the back of the bus :downs: [QUOTE=Kymandu;18907716]Even if you strongly believe there is no god. Isn't there a factor of why not? Like if there is a god you will be saved and if there isn't you will still be fine....so why not believe? why take the chance[/QUOTE] Haha, apathy. You're twelve.
[QUOTE=Archy;18908450]Dammit Maj, get the idea!

That's why I'm calling you a pussy. Once again, your reading comprehension fails to impress.
I'm not saying she should flee from the angry people, I'm saying that she should've just left, they were a lost cause. God you are a retard.
[QUOTE=Majache;18908428]Refusing to handle a situation just because you don't want someone to think ill of you is pussy behavior.[/QUOTE] Being a total pussy means you wouldn't defend your opinion in any situation. Not starting a fight could be anything. Depending on the situation it could mean you are a pussy but the opposite is also true.
[QUOTE=Archy;18908481]I'm not saying she should flee from the angry people, I'm saying that she should've just left, they were a lost cause. God you are a retard.[/QUOTE] Uh, yeah. I know. And I'm saying her goal was to get some fucking justice and incur some penalty on those "lost causes". And that she didn't really feel she needed to make them like her and so she didn't need to move. Why is it that all of your responses are based on the erroneous assumption that everyone's actions must be based around getting people to like them? [editline]10:33AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Edthefirst;18908504]Being a total pussy means you wouldn't defend your opinion in any situation. Not starting a fight could be anything.

He's like a 7 one a scale of one to ten, ten being a total pussy.
