88. Not a problem and when all was done clarity was acheived.

But you did have me worried with the libertarian post for a minute.

Today is Ascension Thursday. [View all] hrmjustin May 2014 OP

A truly magical event! JNelson6563 May 2014 #1

I imagine it was a magical event. hrmjustin May 2014 #2

It's as if "miracle" is a word JNelson6563 May 2014 #3

You should not presume no one buys it. hrmjustin May 2014 #4

I said "anyone", not "no one". JNelson6563 May 2014 #5

Point taken. hrmjustin May 2014 #6

Hey, the GOES-15 satellite stopped working about a year ago. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #7

I know this is an important day for you, justin, cbayer May 2014 #8

Thanks cbayer. hrmjustin May 2014 #9

Why do you insist on personifying this as an attack on hrmjustin? AtheistCrusader May 2014 #10

Sure you did. He put up an innocuous post marking a day that is important to him cbayer May 2014 #13

The day represents an alleged actual event. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #16

If you don't consider it mocking, so be it. cbayer May 2014 #19

I mocked an idea. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #22

Just curious about something: madamesilverspurs May 2014 #32

No, but this is not a church nor a synagouge nor a mosque. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #33

The more apt analogy would be Goblinmonger May 2014 #38

Just curious here - trotsky May 2014 #45

Interesting. madamesilverspurs May 2014 #46

Do you think that any atheist here Goblinmonger May 2014 #47

Do you think this open discussion forum is analogous to your Christmas party? n/t trotsky May 2014 #48

No. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #50

There is a world of difference between a goverment mandate and making it widely available Leontius May 2014 #57

And yet AtheistCrusader May 2014 #58

There are quite a few things the government uses the force of law to require the people Leontius May 2014 #59

And I am not a libertarian, so that argument does nothing for me. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #61

So the right of the people to petition the government means nothing to you. Leontius May 2014 #62

You seem to have misunderstood me. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #64

I am glad that you do agree that it is not the right to oppose that you disagree with. Leontius May 2014 #83

I will try to be more clear/nuanced in the future. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #84

Not a problem and when all was done clarity was acheived. Leontius May 2014 #88

I, too, was worried about the 'force of government' bit, thinking 'DOG WHISTLE! DOG WHISTLE!' AtheistCrusader May 2014 #89

Nowhere in the OP does he say it is important to him. Goblinmonger May 2014 #21

Well, here we have the lesson to be learned. trotsky May 2014 #27

i agree. nt DesertFlower May 2014 #78

So do you see this as a literal event or a metaphor? Goblinmonger May 2014 #11

Literal. hrmjustin May 2014 #12

What is your view on the physical location of heaven to ascend 'to'? AtheistCrusader May 2014 #14

I don't know. hrmjustin May 2014 #15

Do you think the location/destination is discoverable by humans? AtheistCrusader May 2014 #17

I doubt it. hrmjustin May 2014 #18

If that's the case (and I tend to agree, if it exists, it would have to be elsewhere) AtheistCrusader May 2014 #20

I think he ascended up to show his followers that he was going. hrmjustin May 2014 #23

I agree that is a credible interpretation of the claim. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #24

Make no claims on other faiths. hrmjustin May 2014 #25

Mutually exclusive claims do not trouble you? AtheistCrusader May 2014 #26

Other people's faiths or their claims do not bother me. hrmjustin May 2014 #28

Even though they both cannot simultaneously be true? That would immediately cause me to AtheistCrusader May 2014 #29

All I can say id0s the claims of other faiths do notbother me nor cauee me to question my faith. hrmjustin May 2014 #30

But the claims of those with no faith certainly bother you. trotsky May 2014 #31

I don't have 'faith' in anything in a comparable context so maybe this is part of the disconnect AtheistCrusader May 2014 #34

I do question my faith but other faiths do not cause me to question my faith. hrmjustin May 2014 #36

So if someone holding a faith-based belief that would contradict yours Goblinmonger May 2014 #40

I have no issue with someone saying I am wrong. hrmjustin May 2014 #41

When I am laboring under a delusion, I actually appreciate it when people point it out to me. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #51

I am glad for you. hrmjustin May 2014 #52

And I believe you, and would not imply such. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #54

Thank you. hrmjustin May 2014 #55

The belief in Jesus's ascenscion okasha May 2014 #35

Actually they are. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #37

Wrong. okasha May 2014 #39

Would you care to explain the reasoning? trotsky May 2014 #43

Oh, I guess that poster was referring to the idea that muslims claim god raised jesus to heaven. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #49

Here, borrow this. cleanhippie May 2014 #60

Gee, AC, I'm so very sorry okasha May 2014 #63

This message was self-deleted by its author okasha May 2014 #65

Show me AtheistCrusader May 2014 #68

But that's.an entirely different issue. okasha May 2014 #69

I don't feel I moved them. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #71

Ok, thanks for clarifying. okasha May 2014 #73

No worries, take your time. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #74

You are correct, of course, okasha Jun 2014 #100

No goalposts were moved, okasha. trotsky May 2014 #82

They are not equal beliefs. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #53

Good post, Justin. It's an important day. rug May 2014 #42

lmfao! hrmjustin May 2014 #44

The thing I most enjoy about this group goldent May 2014 #76

Not sure who is singing, but it sweet. PumpkinAle May 2014 #56

hrmjustin, I am amazed that you have ... kwassa May 2014 #66

Lol thank you kwassa! hrmjustin May 2014 #67

It takes a man. A grown up man. cbayer May 2014 #70

A mensch. And all that entails. kwassa May 2014 #75

Well that's fucking sexist. trotsky May 2014 #80

Faux outrage, on cue. You need an "aghast" smiley. rug May 2014 #91

John Kerry? Is that you? AtheistCrusader May 2014 #85

Lol. Point taken. cbayer May 2014 #92

Yeah, I think AtheistCrusader May 2014 #93

I thank you for your understanding and forgiveness. cbayer May 2014 #94

We use "man up" all the time on the court, it's not sexist it just means Leontius May 2014 #95

Er, "weak girly zone" sounds pretty sexist to me. cbayer May 2014 #96

Really, well I never would have thought Leontius May 2014 #97

I'm guessing that you are pulling my leg here, cbayer May 2014 #98

Yeah I am about the weak girly part. Leontius May 2014 #99

Women are clearly too frail Goblinmonger May 2014 #86

I wonder if HoF would feel the same way. That's pretty sexist of you, cbayer. cleanhippie May 2014 #87

You rock Justin! Starboard Tack May 2014 #77

Thanks. hrmjustin May 2014 #90

+10 okasha May 2014 #72

But my thoughts Goblinmonger May 2014 #79

Correct. n/t trotsky May 2014 #81
