[QUOTE=Lamar;27208155]nobody yet, it just seems like the most common defense mechanism. I haven't implied he was already doing so or anything.[/QUOTE] the most common defense mechanism is throwing out a random strawman which belittles your own intelligence and leads you to not be taken seriously, at all and you're wrong so sit down, class is about to end
[QUOTE=thisispain;27208201]the most common defense mechanism is throwing out a random strawman which belittles your own intelligence and leads you to not be taken seriously, at all and you're wrong so sit down, class is about to end[/QUOTE] No and strawman sure is a buzzword around these parts. No need to sit down, why don't you address the argument without resorting to ad hom? I can throw buzzwords too.
[QUOTE=meatballfish;27207602]Catholic =/= christian [/QUOTE] Uh, no. That's just some bullshit made up by Protestants to separate themselves from Catholics even though they have plenty of horrible things of their own associated with them.
[QUOTE=Lamar;27208224]No and strawman sure is a buzzword around these parts. No need to sit down, why don't you address the argument without resorting to ad hom? I can throw buzzwords too.[/QUOTE] lol buzzword there's no argument, you just threw out some random claim and expected him to argue based on that premise which isn't productive like at all and what i wrote wasn't an ad hominem, please learn the meanings of words before you call them buzzwords
[QUOTE=superdinoman;27205212]That wasn't even a distasteful joke, in fact I think it was rather funny.[/QUOTE] It certainly is more appealing than those tasteless crackers they eat in communion. [editline]5th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=meatballfish;27207602]Catholic =/= christian this is why i think most atheists dont know what theyre talking about[/QUOTE] By the same token that's like saying Yoda isn't a Jedi
[QUOTE=WPlayer;27205553]How is this mocking Christianity exactly, and why do you personally feel insulted by this commercial.[/QUOTE] i'm an atheist
[QUOTE=meatballfish;27207602]Catholic =/= christian this is why i think most atheists dont know what theyre talking about[/QUOTE] Catholics are a group of Christians. I was raised Catholic.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27208464]i'm an atheist[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=poopsicle;27205528]I bet you guys would get pissed if this was mocking Atheism, or what ever angsty teenagers like to believe in these days.[/QUOTE] so your an angsty teenager.
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27208503]so your an angsty teenager.[/QUOTE] or a horrible troll
What makes me mad is that this is even on the news at all. It's really just a sad attempt to appeal to a Christian audience so people can sit on their comfy couch and laugh and say "i relate to what they're saying"
[QUOTE=meatballfish;27207602]Catholic =/= christian this is why i think most atheists dont know what theyre talking about[/QUOTE] Oh god I am tired of hearing this. (No pun intended) I am a Catholic. I believe Jesus Christ existed. I believe Jesus Christ was the predicted messiah of the Jewish faith. I therefore am also a Christian.
[QUOTE=Lazor;27207969]prove it and none of this anecdotal crap, i want numbers[/QUOTE] Just to jump in and say, how often is you hear about something being even mildly anti islamic and then it's jumped on by a disturbing amount of people? I have no problem with any religious person except fanatics, it just seems like the muslim fanatics are really really fucking loud.
i'd go to church if they gave me doritos
am i the only one who didn't even think it was funny
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27208503]so your an angsty teenager.[/QUOTE] How does this make me angsty.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27205528]I bet you guys would get pissed if this was mocking Atheism, or what ever angsty teenagers like to believe in these days.[/QUOTE] Herp, you can't mock Atheism as a religion. It's not like "I'm going to join Atheism". It's just you know/believe god doesn't exist, therefore you don't give a shit. If a commercial tries to mock that I must say it would be pretty hilarious to watch, not irritating at all. Think of it as a crazy lady trying to convince someone of unicorns when the person clearly knows she's insane and just finding it funny. (I mean no offense to Christians I mean that's what an atheist perspective would be on the situation) I myself try to not call myself an atheist because it sounds like some sort of cult or a religion of it's own. Agnostic or open to logic is better sounding in my opinion.
I laughed because I could relate, I used to be a Christian, attending a Roman Catholic church for the first 14 years of my life. Just imagining myself walking up to the priest and getting a dorito instead of a eucharist made me giggle. Just because it said free snacks sunday on the sign outside doesn't change the fact that they're doing the exact motions you do in church when getting the body and blood of christ, though you can also argue that this is done in most rituals, it's just a single file line or more than one depending on how many pastors there are that day. I guess people are trying to defend their beliefs in a turning point in the faith of the world, atheism has been gaining a strong foothold in the past 10 or so years.
I don't think you "convert" to atheism either. It's not really a big deal, except if you're 12 and you make those silly threads about it.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27209113]How does this make me angsty.[/QUOTE] You seem bitchier and more angsty then other people here, that's how
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;27209135]You seem bitchier and more angsty then other people here, that's how[/QUOTE] Being "bitchier" is not the same as being angsty. You didn't even answer me at all, you just repeated the word angsty.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27209113]How does this make me angsty.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=poopsicle;27205528] Atheism, or what ever angsty teenagers like to believe in these days.[/QUOTE] Oh no you have been caught trolling/being a hypocrite or do you think that every atheist is an angst filled teenager except you?
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27209154]Being "bitchier" is not the same as being angsty. You didn't even answer me at all, you just repeated the word angsty.[/QUOTE] No one in here looked angsty until you did. You called us all angsty atheists essentially.
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27209192]Oh no you have been caught trolling/being a hypocrite or do you think that every atheist is an angst filled teenager except you?[/QUOTE] I wasn't trolling, and no I don't think every atheist is an angst filled teenager. I openly said I was an atheist, and if you can read I said "or whatever angsty teenagers believe these days", I never referred atheism as being a belief for angsty teenagers. [editline]5th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;27209219]No one in here looked angsty until you did. You called us all angsty atheists essentially.[/QUOTE] I never said atheism was for angsty teenagers. I kind of muddled up my words in that sentence, but I assure you I never meant to call atheists angsty.
I had to stop watching when I heard, "Well, to quote Jesus Christ..."
[QUOTE=poopsicle;27205528]I bet you guys would get pissed if this was mocking Atheism, or what ever angsty teenagers like to believe in these days.[/QUOTE] Why are you such an awful fucking poster Everything you post is just stupid.
But really when posters use the word angst as an argument then you know they cant come up with a real reason for why something is wrong.
Where is all the elitists when i comes to christianity? However how dare they compare epic tasty doritos with religion.

wtf why are they talking about muslims
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;27206325]The body and blood of Christ is a sacred thing to them, this is mocking it.[/QUOTE] This might be the only time in my life I'm happy to be agreed with by Glaber and ROFLBURGER simultaneously Oh hey ROFL glad to have you back btw
