Is there a double standard in this Group between atheists and believers? [View all] Goblinmonger Mar 2014 OP

A certain amount of that might be disdain for Silverman el_bryanto Mar 2014 #1

Apples and oranges... TreasonousBastard Mar 2014 #2

Not comparing the outcomes. Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #3

The school is on the record for what it did... TreasonousBastard Mar 2014 #6

Don't bullshit me Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #8

They objected to her not being... TreasonousBastard Mar 2014 #12

That quotation and others from their press release Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #13

And I wanted this as a separate discussion. "Invented crap to screw her up"? Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #4

Yeah. That's about it. TreasonousBastard Mar 2014 #5

So if I called your religious beliefs that Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #7

Atheists do call theists beliefs crap all the time, don't they? el_bryanto Mar 2014 #9

And that goes without comment from the theists? Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #10

This is a line I've heard before - that if I am going to be a theist i have to be respectful of all el_bryanto Mar 2014 #14

I think it is a little different perspective than that. Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #15

I've had that suggested to me several times - the leave the religion forum line el_bryanto Mar 2014 #18

Not what I'm saying Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #19

See you say that in the lightest and most benign way possible el_bryanto Mar 2014 #20

I love the circular reasoning found primarily with those... TreasonousBastard Mar 2014 #16

That's not circular Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #17

It's quite round... TreasonousBastard Mar 2014 #27

So by your definition Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #32

Once upon a time, okasha Mar 2014 #25

Nice strawman Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #31

Well, then, assuming your observation is correct (which it isn't), does it offend you? rug Mar 2014 #37

Delusion, mental illness, okasha Mar 2014 #24

And those words are used here to describe fundamentalist beliefs Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #33

You really can't have it both ways. okasha Mar 2014 #43

Sorry. That was a typo. Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #46

No, bullshit is rebutted pretty uniformly. There's just been a lot more from you lately. rug Mar 2014 #11

No, bullshit is propounded pretty uniformly. There's just been a lot more from you lately. mr blur Mar 2014 #21

Every time someone in this forum offers an interpretation of a Biblical passage, okasha Mar 2014 #23

Wait-and-see is a great response Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #34

This is just the half of it! goldent Mar 2014 #26

Maybe personal experiences play a role struggle4progress Mar 2014 #28

I completely understand that and believe the girl Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #35

Let me try again: "Amanda Knief may have trouble telling the truth." Is that better? Some links: struggle4progress Mar 2014 #44

Except you're wrong Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #47

(1) She claimed NJ has no law preventing notary discrimination against atheists; the ACLU said, no, struggle4progress Mar 2014 #49

NO. Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #51

That is a fascinating distinction. Is it your view that no one may ever, under any circumstances, struggle4progress Mar 2014 #56

I think more needs to be done so bigots Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #57

Is there a common ground among atheists, theists and all those along that broad spectrum? pinto Mar 2014 #29

The author of the first link in your OP seems badly confused struggle4progress Mar 2014 #30

I'll be honest with you right now. Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #36

Really? And exactly what "bigger issue" did you think that link raises? struggle4progress Mar 2014 #38

I'm not going to self delete Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #39

If you have concerns about how the group is hosted, feel free to start a thread about that struggle4progress Mar 2014 #40

Perhaps I already did. n/t Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #41

It's odd that you feel compelled to mention me twice in this post while claiming to ignore me. rug Mar 2014 #42

What are you saying here? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #45

Seriously, dude. I really want to like you. Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #48

Well you will notice I didn't question the story about the teller. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #50

But this isn't about digging deeper Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #52

Maybe it was because of who was making the claim in the teller story. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #53

And why is that? Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #54

I don't know. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #55

Gosh, I complain TWICE or even THREE TIMES about how it was acceptable Fortinbras Armstrong Mar 2014 #73

To quote you skepticscott Mar 2014 #74

I notice that you don't give a damn about the double standard Fortinbras Armstrong Mar 2014 #76

Oh for fuck's sake Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #81

No, I am bringing up the fact that Skepticscott FALSELY called me a liar Fortinbras Armstrong Mar 2014 #85

Yawn skepticscott Mar 2014 #86

Hey, if you want to do this in private, get a room Goblinmonger Mar 2014 #87

You just said it yourself. okasha Mar 2014 #69
