[Falconer02]

You can hide behind all of these historic writers' quotes(and I'm sure its all entertaining to you), but surrendering to Cthulhu is gonna be the best feeling you've experienced someday. Am happy for you f9  Welcome to the wonderful world of blood rituals and His willful destruction of you   Personally, I like to hide behind Cthulhu and under His tentacles.

This is how creepy you sound to any freethinker reading your post.

Oh, it's much creepier and more insidious than that; these faith-blinded religious adherents aren't even aware how their self-inflicted blindness affects their (mis)perceptions, even as they tappity-tap in the darkness with their red-tipped canes of irrationality.

I really don't think falcon 9 cares one way or another. It's his habit to be a contrarian and pontificate about anything and everything. If indeed you are seriously "offended", falcon9, (I doubt it) then I guess the shoe is on the other foot. However, I think your script is that you have a duty to offend rather than be offended.

It's a mixed reaction.  On the one hand, such 'magical intercessory rituals', (what the faith-blinded call "prayer"), have no evidence of being effective and are therefore moot.  On the other hand, those who are pushing unsolicited intercessory rituals onto someone who finds them offensive are directly trolling/"calling-out by 'nym" in violation of known FC posting policies.  While I'm curious as to why the instigators have not been banned by the moderators, (as some had previously been banned for the same violation), this is a moderator decision and not mine.

It's his habit to be a contrarian ...

That's a mis-characterization, (i.e., lie), since refuting specious religious nonsense is not a "habit"; it's an intentional decision to oppose non-reasoning with reasoning.

and pontificate about anything and everything.

False.  While I've commented/remarked/refuted/contended/opposed/challenged on a number of subjects, these do not include the exagerated "anything and everything".  Such an exageration is generally deemed as a lie.

Wrong again, xtian.  Reasoning is not your forte; you religious adherents were INITIALLY offensive, (the offensive posts were started by xtians before being responded to by non-xtians).  The actual sequence of events being; xtians offend and insult non-xtians by making pretentious religious claims, non-xtians challenge those specious religious claims, xtians who made those claims failed to substantiate them and become 'offended' and claim faux martyrdom 'offense' at even having their blind faith challenged, xtians pseudo-martyrs then try to obscure this sequence of events to avoid responsibility for being the instigators.  This pretty much summarizes the entire xtian religion.

Your self-righteous blind faith-based crap is offensive.  It is rejected as sanctimonious superstitious nonsense. This reply returns such under the auspices of the "golden rule."

The repetitive religious propagandizing employed by you religious zealots had exceeded tedious some time ago.  Given that, to expect "new material" in response to old material is unreasonable, (and yet, typical of teh irrationality of religious zealots).

if Falcon9 doesn't like religious posts, why doesn't he/ she just avoid them???
You don't have to respond, you, know.

As usual this is a weak argument. We don't avoid them because just like those posting religious nonsense, we have an opinion. And just like those who post religious nonsense, we have not only a right but the permission of the owner of this forum to express that opinion. I have seen countless times where a thread started by an atheist is subject to post by a non-atheist. It's not that we HATE religious post in particular, in fact I am personally enthralled when someone post religious nonsense. It's that we have an opinion too, and if those who wish to stop us from posting would just stop to look beyond their own opinions to realize their not the only kinds of people out there they would stop hating on those expressing their dissent of religion and instead focus on defending their own opinions.

This is (or at least ideally should) be a free country. If non-atheist do not want other to disagree with them, then they too should not post to begin with. Ignoring what you disagree with is probably the weakest possible response.

I honestly don't think you are sorry at all.   This seems to be an intentionally inflamatory post since you know falcon's possition and posted it anyway.
The bible may say to spread the word, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't say go out and beat people over the head with it.  Of course it also says both an eye for an eye, and turn the other cheek - so I guess it's hard to know what you are supposed to do.

I couldn't resist reading this thread. I was born into a Catholic family, but my parents were not very devoted to mass. I'm grateful I didn't have religion shoved down my throat, or I would not have the awesome relationship I have with the Father in heaven. Fast forward to the 21st century and I married a great guy, but his family is a part of what I consider to be a very unhealthy religious cult by the name of church of christ. I drank the kool aid and converted because I wanted to make him happy and I believed the propaganda about hell. I left after 2 years and I'm very glad I did. I was disfellowshipped by his family, and it became very clear to me that fanatical christians have absolutely no clue what loving your neighbor is all about. I don't consider myself a christian, and with utmost respect, I firmly believe if Jesus had a press conference he would say he is not christian. Now, I still believe in the Holy Trinity and that is my prerogative, but atheists have the constitutional right to believe in nothing. Telling someone you are praying for them so they can see the "light" when he/she has absolutely no interest in religion is offensive. Christians how would you feel if a Buddhist, one of the most peaceful and tolerant people btw, told you they are praying for you because you are desperately lost and in need of some "real" religion? A Buddhist would not do that so that is an entirely hypothetical situation, but the feeling it should evoke is one of indignation. What is interesting is that Christians have murdered innocent people in the name of religion in a desperate attempt to "save" souls. In the end, we do live in a wonderful country, and members of this board need not fear for their lives due to being atheist. I think the respectful position is to politely disagree with those who are trying to convert and move on, but the member who is the focus of the prayers has an inalienable right to be an unbeliever.

What a great idea.  I will pray for him as well.  Have a great day!

   Another call-out thread from those who enjoy making a spectacle of themselves while requesting unwanted "prayer" for "others"?   

[bowrunner]

I no longer read his posts as they are usually hateful so I'm not interested.

Jesus said when the Pharisses prayed in public to be seen they got their reward in full that way.

Its the same with the Falcons.When they post garbage and repetitive posts about xtians,bible,God etc they are getting their rewards in full the same way as the Pharisses.They think they will get a hearing for all their negative postings in their own minds.Their brains fester in the debauched state of mind more so with each post they write and thats how they want it.

The more they do so the sadder state of mind for each as it grows and grows like a cancer till its un-operable.
