21. I think it raises an entirely different question.

He gave a hungry and probably homeless woman money for food. She thanked him as graciously as she knew how. All good.

Now, in return for that thanks, he proposes to use his position of privilege to demean and possibly frighten her. That's sadistic.

The question is, what kind of person would do that?

A second question: what kind of person would defend it?

How utterly petty. okasha Apr 2015 #12

I think it raises a valid question about the morals and merits of the whole concept. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #15

I think it raises an entirely different question. okasha Apr 2015 #21

Good questions. rug Apr 2015 #24

What 'kind'? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #32

That's the question I asked you. okasha Apr 2015 #34

I imagine it would be the 'kind' made of straw. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #35

I didn't go anywhere for lent. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #38

Are you characterizing yourself as the slow-moving, easy target? okasha Apr 2015 #43

Being odd isn't going to provoke a rage-induced hideable post from me. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #46

You seem to be fond of making that accusation. okasha Apr 2015 #47

Mmm-hm. explains all the alerts AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #48

Which alerts would those be? okasha Apr 2015 #49

He and I talked about his echo chamber. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #50

Good. okasha Apr 2015 #51

You're fully capable of looking back through your post history for the ones you've commented on. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #53

Sorry, I don't accumulate list of posts, okasha Apr 2015 #55

See, that's the thing. The forum software has this neat feature where it does it for you. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #57

i am confused here, what is he claiming? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #58

You're not alone. okasha Apr 2015 #63

Yes I see. And he complains about there being low traffic but he likes to post in there and takes hrmjustin Apr 2015 #67

You're welcome. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #96

First of all the Interfaith room needs agreement to ban. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #99

You are all too funny. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #95

Sorry, not going off on a snipe hunt. okasha Apr 2015 #115

Snipe hunt. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #123

OK. okasha Apr 2015 #125

my echo chamber? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #52

yeah, we've discussed this. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #54

Forgive me that I won't let the room just die off. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #56

Yeah, I know. I tried creating a prayer thread to drum you up some traffic, but it appears to be AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #59

In the future if you post in there make sure it is about prayer.. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #60

It was. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #62

Not really. it was a pot protest not a prayer protest. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #64

No, that one didn't get >5 responses. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #66

It also didn't belong there so in the future I want you to know the room is about prayer. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #71

Yeah, I can read. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #72

So in the future respect the sop. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #76

Followed it to the letter. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #77

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought you said you don't believe in it. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #79

Belief is not a requirement to be a member in the highest standing. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #83

Whatever. it is not allowed in the room. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #84

Which is why I offered a totally different sort of prayer. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #87

What church is that? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #88

The church of cannabis. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #91

Yes remember it has to be a prayer and if it has a trolling feel it will be locked. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #93

It was a prayer as that officially recognized church entails. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #97

Your becoming a member of this church? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #100

Let's see... I'd have been about 16 when I first joined. So, two decades. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #101

Do they believe in God? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #102

is that a requirement of prayer? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #103

Not for a religion but if you are claiming to be a member and an atheist it begs further questioning hrmjustin Apr 2015 #104

One can be an atheist and a buddhist. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #105

We are not talking about Buddhism. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #107

I asked if it was a requirement. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #109

It depends on the religion. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #110

Application pending. Practices adopted long, long before the church was 'formed' officially. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #113

interesting.And who will you pray to if you say a prayer? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #116

(I'm going to sleep so further responses will be time-delayed.) AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #111

rest well. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #112

Good night. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #114

Oh wait, I got them backwards, my mistake. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #69

Then a member can post it. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #73

Oh, it has a member whitelist now? Exclusive! Swanky. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #75

Atheists are allowed to post in there but the topic is prayer. just remember that. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #78

I posted a prayer. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #81

And you can make all the snarky comments you want but at least I made an effort. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #61

I'd be lying if I said I didn't question your motives, or judgement, but I am not here to take AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #65

My motives? do go on please. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #68

Go where? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #70

Please explain why you question my motives. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #74

Why? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #80

Ok this is a game to you. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #82

I just answered your questions fully and perfectly honestly. Don't pretend I didn't. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #85

No you didn't. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #86

I have answered every single direct question you've ever asked me, fully and honestly. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #89

No I am not claiming you are a liar. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #90

Well, that makes two of us. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #92

i don't deliberately test you. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #94

Ok. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #98

It isn't a discussion group. okasha Apr 2015 #106

And yet.. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #108

But then... okasha Apr 2015 #117

Games and tests. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #118

Exactly. okasha Apr 2015 #119
