Self-Righteous Cheapskates

What, they are sarcastic.
No one is 100% sure there is a god or not. I am technically agnostic.

even if I am wrong Lart, and there is no God, how am I hurting anybody by being a Christian. The teachings within the bible are great things. I know that there are Christians Leaders who have abused the teaching for there own gain. But that isn't everyone.

there may be some bad, but there is also a lot of good stuff coming from within the church. Many groups are building wells in Africa, giving money to poor so they can start businesses overseas, on Saturdays they have farmers bring vegetables to give to poor so they have food. Religion is a great thing, and many are doing great things. So many times we see all the bad stuff that happens within the church, but keep in mind a lot of great things are happening too.

At a small church I use to be a part of, we gave over $10,000 a year to help others. We gave food, pay heat bills so people can have heat, meals over thanksgiving, etc. This was one small church. it feels great to help those less fortunate. My heart breaks when I hear kids don't have food, and need help.

This is also the reason we are part of a church that gives a lot to those less fortunate. We are also building a house right now for a widow wife with three kids in our city. So maybe the church has some bad shit, but it also has a lot of great shit happening too. It's to bad that the bad shit is talked about more than the good.

In states like MA they assume the server gets tipped 15% and taxes them on it. So if no tip is left the server essentially pays for the priveledge of serving that person. I would probably lose my temper if someone did that to me. It would not be pretty.

there is probably a Christian at Larts gym that benched more than him and he's fucking pissed

Quite the contrary. I am not emotionally involved, I was not force fed this garbage as hard as you were. It did not effect my life in the negative way it has for you. I do not feel the need to defend fairy tales and such. You're still my friend Cindy, I hope.

Your priest obviously played with your peepee.

1)Is it necessary for there to be a mythic God type figure in order for people to be charitable and come together for the better good of humanity?
2)Why lie to children about there being a supreme being when it is not necessary.

I am not lying to my child when I tell them about God. Just because of what you believe doesn't make it truth lart. Even though you think you know everything, you don't.

Yeah, well I don't see many athiest groups doing things like this. You act like we are such a terrible group and shouldn't be around. It looks to me like we do a lot of good too bro.

and, do you really think you're going to change anything by puting up stupid threads on Elite, lol

ER just don't respond to those kiddie questions.

The Internet is very powerful, there are things that are forbidden to talk about here for good reason.
Just because you believe in a magical God figure does not make you a bad person.
It would only be bad if you forced these views on your child.
As would making them believe in Santa at an old age etc..
