Why is the Irish Atheist so aggressive?

But surely, just like Catholics you're all the same, and collectively guilty.

Aww Monty, so close. But unlike a Catholic the OP was born a German and unfortunately for them has no choice in the matter (:p) . However the OP is not a Nazi (the horrible people who carried out the disgusting acts) nor would he (I assume) ever claim to be one and then say you can't tarnish all nazi's with the same brush.
However the same cannot be said of a Catholic. They choose to continue their membership in an organisation which has enacted disgusting acts thereby often giving power and money to those who did such acts or protected those that did.

More importantly what did I do to come off the list? I hereby announce "the first church of the original list atheists" and we do not recognise the new list changed by mans hand. At our hands you heretics will dye (your hair ginger).

This may not stand! I will not dye (my hair ginger)!

I hereby declare myself alistic and choose not to believe in the arbitrary ranking system that is the original (or any revised version) list of atheists.

The list is clearly man made in order to give certain individuals more power than others.

I'm a little freaked as to how easily I was pegged as a "known atheist" by making the list :eek: Didn't think I posted here enough to appear on anyone's radar.

It's ok, I'm on the list and I'm not one!

I mean er

So atheism really is just like Catholicism as another belief system. Those theists were right all along... :pac:

Didn't we have a thread about some crazy pastor who wanted all atheists to be recorded in a database about a week ago. And now, all of a sudden Malty_T is compiling lists of atheists....

Monty, your existence in this forum - like that of dead one - only continues in order to catalogue the worst aspects of the religious mindset. Keep up the good work.

How I wish we lived in a foram when moderators weren't necessary to safeguard us from discrimination.

You realise Monty or crucamim are going to wade into a discussion somewhere and present that quote like some sort of smoking gun that puts a big QED on everything they've ever said?

You can be German or you can have a sense of humour, but you can't have both. Make your mind up :pac:

Actually, most Germans I've met have had a pretty black streak of humour. For instance, one of them responded to a jibe from a Spaniard about the concentration camps with, "My grandfather died in a concentration camp." Cue uncomfortable silence. "He fell out of a watchtower."

Just because it's funny doesn't mean it's not true.

Oh, I never said it wasn't true. But the delivery was not that of a man with no sense of humour. I prefer not to pay much attention to old English stereotypes of the Germans.

Thats true. Germans have a great sense of humour. It may be different to the Irish humour but every country including England has a different humour - just because it is different doesn't make it a bad sense of humour. I much prefer the German humour to the English humour anyway.

Also Germans are constantly taking the piss of each other including war/hitler jokes but what they dont like is the arrogant english (and Irish) a$$holes making stupid jokes about them being nazis that are just not funny. "ha ha he's a nazi blah blah" is just old and it is often directed at germans who actually lost family members to the nazis.

I have been verbally and physically abused for practising my beliefs on the streets of Galway. I still pray though for each and every one of you. I believe that deep down you are good people.

Ickle Magoo

Deep down we're good people? What because we don't share your belief in an invisible superbeing our goodness must be deep down? That sounds incredibly unchristian...congratulations on completely missing the point of both this forum and your own religion. :rolleyes:

You will someday see the error of your ways and will return to the one true faith. I forgive, I forgave my attackers because that is the word of our lord. I will continue to pray for non believers and would be more then happy to bring you to a prayer service if interested?

Preaching the word of God. I was today handing out leaflets outside NUIG.

And somebody physically abused you? Did you report it?

Also, what has this assault got to do with the posters here?

Hold on now. I don't remember physically or verbally abusing anyone. At least not in Galway.

Are you sure you're not just making some sort of massive generalisation?

That being said, I'm interested to know what your beliefs are and by whom you were abused - something I think most people here would not condone.

Errr, don't count on it...and I'm not sure how I can return to a faith I've never had...quite aside from the point that if I were to become a theist, christian would be last on my list of religions that I'd want anything to do with. Please, don't pity me, I feel the same way about you and your invisible overlord making you say and do all the weird stuff.

Yeah, that stuff. You are all right thanks, I've gotten this far in life as an atheist & I'm more than happy with my lot...and as above, if I were going to embrace a religion, it certainly wouldn't be yours. :cool:

One true faith, huh? Which one of the 33830 denominations would that be then?
