Daffodil the Destroyer
My head is not within my buttocks, thank you. It doesn't accomplish anything to sit around here wishing to do violence to long-dead individuals, any way you look at it. It's antagonistic, childish, and gives people reasons to believe that we are belligerent, rude people. I'm obviously not worried about someone coming into our forums and reading it, I just wanted to make the point that when atheists go around spouting such ridiculous bullshit, it makes all of us become a bigger target for bigots. Basically, there's a difference between censoring ourselves unreasonably and simply refraining from posting offensive statements about murdering religious figureheads. Plus, I was actually repulsed and offended by the first two posts in this thread. Sky fairy forbid I should express this.


I am sure I am not alone in not giving a rat's buttocks what the kind of people who make those sorts of judgments think. I'll tell you what, you go around worrying about "what will people think" and thinking that doesn't put your head up your buttocks, and I will continue saying whatever the hell I want to whenever the hell I want to... how's that?
Congratulations, you missed my point again. I'm not overly concerned with "what people think," I'm concerned with the results of it. Asinine statements like "lol i wanna go back in time and kill Gsus heh heh" are nothing but antagonism that feeds the fire between religious and non-religious people. They accomplish nothing except to promote hatred and blatant disrespect between groups. If you'd taken the time to really read my post and think about what I said, you'd understand my point and realise that I'm not just whining about people's perceptions of atheists.

Not to mention that you repeatedly have ignored the fact that, aside from whether you feel I'm simply worrying about how others perceive us, I was personally repulsed and offended by the original statement and have every right to express this without being told that my ******** head is within my arse.

If you still refuse to acknowledge my actual point in this discussion, I ask that you at least stop trying to reply to this point, as all you are succeeding in doing is putting words in my mouth and making me angry. I am done discussing this with you.

It's you who fails to understand my point. I hear this kind of crap from atheist apologists everywhere, in every forum. I am responding not just to the "don't talk like that" fascist side of your argument, nor even just to the "what will their opinion be of us" one, but also to the "it's partly atheists' fault that we get treated badly - atheists like you" side and the "this is bad for PR and bad for peace" ones. My response to all of them is the same:

You need to remember with whom you are speaking - other atheists in an atheist forum. You have registered your discontent at the comments, nuff said. I am saying that within this forum we can talk about whatever the hell we want, so move on to another thread, there's nothing to see here, these are not the comments you are looking for - if it's so painful. But you go farther than just saying you are uncomfortable with the comments. You go so far as to say not just that we shouldn't talk like this, but also that we bring hate on to atheists by doing so.

This is why I say your head is deeply lodged within the far reaches of your buttocks. I have addressed your arguments in prior posts. I made quite a few strong points about social structure, the structure of religion, the needs of atheists and the nature of your type of argument, none of which you responded to. You actually just whined about my saying your head is firmly up your buttocks and then repeated your point, as if you hadn't even read those parts of my posts. So I can only conclude that indeed, your head is firmly residing in your buttocks and hope that you come up for air at some point.

This thread is ridiculous. Regardless of what the individual members think, we will not have threads like this in the GAU. I am going to lock this and move it in a few days.

I am getting quite tired of the recent aggressive comments towards theism lately. This is not a guild to bash theism senselessly.

Anyone who further makes these provoking comments insinuating (even jokingly) that theists should die, or that the people who may or may not have existed should die, or hypothetically "should we go back in time and kill" will have to deal with me and unlike some people I have no patience and no tolerance towards asinine and ToS breaking comments.

Thread creator you have warned. Entire GAU, you have been warned. Comply or I'll ban you. It's simple as that.

I'm pretty sure I can post here before Sanguvixen moves it, for I'm a mod.

If I could go back in time, I'd travel to the future and see what my great-great-great grandchildren's children would look like.

And it would be irrational to try to kill Jesus. I mean, sure, Christianity and organized religion as a whole have brought us at least ten crusades throughout their relatively brief existence. But, if religion didn't exist, we'd still be fighting over something, because that's just how most organisms are.

Just look at ants.

To add to that, why would you want to kill Buddha? Buddhists haven't done anything.
