Hypocrisy for The Win?

The point is there. The delivery is bad.

The Issue is He Is Comparing a Religion to a Not Religion. Atheism is To Christianity as Theism is To Buddhism. Plus When You Figure Out that Over 1/3 Of the Planet Believes In Christ in Some Form It is Only Logically That When Religious Conflicts Crop Up The Term Christian Pops Up, Especially Considering The Violent History and the Measures That Have Been Used in the Not So Distant Past to Enforce Christian Dogma. And Since The USA is the Birth Country of Christian Fundamentalism and Even Today We See Religious Persecution of Minorities Its Not Shocking When The Term Christian Is Used. People are Lazy And It Gets Long Winded to Go "The Crazy Christian Fundamentalists Who Only Believe This."

Besides, I Think Teens Are The only People Who Forget That Generalizations are Just That.

Comparing religions to things that are not religions from a philosophical viewpoint is not a problem. The problem is going from specific to general, or vice versa, going from Christianity to Atheism, a Religion to a Philosophy. While I am not sure we can say the US is the birth place but I do agree with most everything else you say.

Christianity and how it's practiced is relatively harmless these days, but people don't like to let go of the past if they can use it to flame you.

Fundamentalism is A Christian Movement.

Quote:

Fundamentalist Christianity, also known as Christian fundamentalism or fundamentalist evangelicalism, is a movement that arose mainly within British and American Protestantism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among conservative evangelical Christians, who, in a reaction to liberal theology, actively affirmed a fundamental set of Christian beliefs: the inerrancy of the Bible, Sola Scriptura, the virgin birth of Christ, the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, and the imminent personal return of Jesus Christ. Some who hold these beliefs reject the label of "fundamentalism", seeing it as a pejorative term for historic Christian doctrine,[1] while to others it has become a banner of pride. Such Christians prefer to use the term fundamental as opposed to fundamentalist (e.g., Independent Fundamental Baptist, Independent Fundamental Baptist Association of Michigan, and Independent Fundamental Churches of America).[2].

I've always wanted to ask...

Doesn't it tire your fingers to capitalize every first letter of every word?

First.
Do not say "Christians" when you are refering to people who believe in christ.
We do not all act, think, or say the same things.

But you're still all Christians. If you don't want to be called a Christians either a.) stop believing in Christ or b.) give me an alternative.

Haku Tobi II

I'm just waiting for you people to start gassing us and burning us.

It's "treat others as you wish to be treated" a Christian principle? It'd only be the beginning of fair if I started gassing and burning you.

Haku Tobi II

Why is it that it's the only religion picked on? Atheists ONLY target christians.
Atheists ALWAYS talk about christians.

I assume you have evidence for this and this not just a result of some petty persecution complex, non?

Haku Tobi II

The thing is, most Atheists don't even know what they're talking about, at the same time.

Oh the irony. rofl

Haku Tobi II

Any Atheist who will now post, must realize, that I did exactly what alot of them do to Christians.

And that makes you a bloody hypocrite and someone who generalizes far too much with nothing to back up his/her assertions.

Christians are the only ones that you can debate with because nobody else gives a damn if you believe in their religion. Except for maybe those "muslim-extremists" but good luck actually managing to talk to one of them. Also godwins law and the whole plainsborough baptist church make great cannon fodder.

Maybe it's relatively harmless in Europe, but in America, specifically the American South, it's anything but. It's one of the chief oppressive factors in this nation, only eclipsed by megacorporations.

Except that is the ONE word which binds us. The only thing all sects of Christianity have in common, is the belief in Christ.

So, instead of refusing to use that word, why don't we just stop letting people be so offended to be called by it?

I'm a Christian. Say what you will about me, I don't give a s**t.

What the ******** are you smoking, that makes you think that we're the only ones that ever get picked on?

Scientology ringing any bells? Oh, and some people don't even consider Wicca to be a "real religion".

Open your eyes, kid.

Just like how WE always talk about THEM.

Funny how that works out, huh?

From my experience, neither do most Christians.

But you are all complacent in the same atrocities. You bear responsibility for what your fellows do.

[Cyclone Helena]

What do you call yourself, then?

Also, Christianity gets ragged on most in countries where Christianity is the majority religion- or at least much more culturally significant than others. Go talk to angry Indian atheists, see what they're belligerent about. (I don't mention that not all atheists care about other people's belief in Whatever, because I'm sure you already know.)
