A very apt comparison. I would submit that many Christians believe same thing as does the Taliban, just to a lesser (most times) degree. That belief is that they should have the right to force their belief system on other people.
The (fill in the denomination) feels they should be able to, say, keep a store owner from selling beer on Sunday. The Taliban believes they should be able to kill anyone selling it ANY day. Exact same belief, just to different degrees. |

I love being called a "papist" and one of "the Devil's children" for being Catholic. No, he's Catholic, not a Christian. Sometimes Puritans can be funny though, they seem to think that the Baptist denomination is the first Christian Church and that Catholicism started in the Middle Ages. It's called history "Baptist style." Ask a Baptist how old the world is. Their answer always cracks me up, the world according to gimp is actually only a few thousand (sometimes it's 6,000, sometimes 10,000) years old. If you ask them how remains of man have been found that are hundreds of thousands of years old if the world is only a few thousand years in age they either get a deer in the headlights look or give you some kind of bullshit about carbon dating being "unscientific."
Not all Baptists are that bad though. "Do what you will, just don't expect tolerance from the decendents of Puritan extremists." |

Although Halloween isn't really the "devils" holiday, it is a Pagan holiday. Why Christians celebrate it is beyond me for they are certainly committing themselves to an eternal Hell for doing so.
You shouldn't go out of your way to be offensive to Christians in your office. That makes you no better than the Taliban. If she wishes to believe Halloween is the Devils holiday, that's her right. For you to purposely claim to worship the Devil, when you presumably don't, is harassing and uncalled for. You're acting vengeful and resentful of her devout love of Christ and her devotion to her God. Although you might find her religious beliefs comical or perhaps annoying doesn't give you the right to chastise her publicly. You're going to [red]HELL[/red] for that one bub. Damn atheists... always stirring up crap in the office.

Exact same belief, just to different degrees. First off, let me say I am AGAINST legislating obedience to God, mostly because God wants obedience from the heart, and NOT forced obedience. Secondly, let me say that WAY too often, my Christian brethren have VIOLATED this Biblical principle, as stated immediately above. But come on, Celt - You equate going thru the legislative process as established by our FF to make Sunday beer sales illegal, with the Taliban KILLING beer drinkers???? Forget "different degrees" that is different planets. WOW. What can I say to a statement like that??? Other than, that statement sounds awful lot like the Taliban in wishing to demonize those you disagree with. You got carried away, i am QUITE sure. |

Fact is, if you have EVER voted on any issue, in ANY election (like gun rights, or CCW, or overturning anti_second Amend legislation) , you are trying to "force your opinion" on others JUST the same as the so-called Christian who uses the SAME legilative process to accomplish making sunday beer sales illegal.

I'm sure that the Taliban did not start out by killing women who weren't veiled in public or by imprisoning people who shaved. Its not about where you start off, its where you end up. I fear the Southern Baptist, not because I think I'm going to hell, that's between me and God, I fear them because I get the impression that they would like to kill me for daring to speak up on behalf of people who just want to have some fun in life. The Southern Baptist, and many other religious groups, want to restrict everything, alcohol, sex, games, fun, etc.... I'm fed up with it and I am speaking out against it. If that means I'm going hell, then whatever. A Southern Baptist told me it was a sin to own rifles, unless you planned to use them to hunt or for Armageddon. That's how messed that person was. And I don't think that's an isolated opinion either. Growing up in the South I knew a lot of religious who thought that having fun is a sin. -SS |

If they have a zeal for promoting their faith, BFD. Madelyn Murray Fucking O'hara certainly had a zeal to promote her agenda. I am not a "believer" but I do hope that cunt is rotting in hell. My only real point is that I see SouthernShark's need to attack the lady as juvenile and boorish. I felt the same way last night, if you caught the thread by FALARAK, where he was asking if he could suffer legal consequences for verbally assaulting two women (apparent lesbians) who were holding hands and minding their own business (his words) in the local Wal-Mart. Same exact thing directed against groups of opposite nature. Leave them all the hell alone, or at least don't fucking bitch when we are attacked as gun owners. You assholes can't have it both ways. You make my point here: Quoted: Of course, not all Baptists are intolerant, self-centered, self-righteous, condecending assholes. Bottom line from me: leave them, and others alone, if they are leaving you alone. If they "assault" you with their beliefs, discourage them in any reasonable manner. Attacking them because they exist is pig-headed in the extreme. I hope I have made myself more clear. [:)] |

How many of you who think that Baptists, "do this, or are trying to control that..." Have met any? How about more than 1 or 2? Starting to sound like "all jews are cheats". Very dangerous line of thinking. Just like all military style rifles are for killing people. This is stereotyping, fellas. Christianity has many different "strains". Most folks do what they do because they are honestly trying to help you. If you do not wish for the help, don't be an ass about it. Just simply let the person know that you appreciate their concern, but wish to do otherwise. Eric the Hun, I am from Texas, bro and I can tell ya that the Catholics have most of the state wrapped up.

Well, here I sit, contemplating the latest programming debacle at the clients, eating leftover holloween candy
Yeah, I don't believe this holiday is the greatest, but if you like it - knock yourself out! There is a joke amoungst some "evangelicals" (I belong to the WELS - that 'E' stands for Evangelical) that goes something like this. A group of people died and went to heaven. Greeted at the pearly gates by St. Peter, he took them on a tour. Having taken them all around heaven, they finally arrived at a very high wall. One person, upon hearing people from the other side of the wall asked, "who are those people and why are they behind the wall?" St. Peter answered, "Shhhh, those are the It just goes to show that there is indeed some "competition" amoungst the denominations. Most of the time it's friendly, some times it's not. As for the earlier statement about Baptist's... well, some of them are a bit off the wall - bordering on cult status if you ask me, but, having known a number of Bapists, I would say that the 'cult-like' ones are the exception. And finally, the statement that started it all, I would agree, is a bit over the top. It would have been far more productive to not say anything about it. As it is, you've just made it onto her prayer list. And if she's got God's ear at all, your in a heap o' trouble [:D] |

But as soon as I heard her say that I shouted out "Really? I love Halloween, its another chance for me to Worship the Devil." Wow, it sounds like you're the worst type of fascist. Was she telling you that you shouldn't have fun on Halloween? Was she even talking to you? That's the beauty of America. People are free to believe what they want, even if they're wrong by my or your standards. Our Founding Fathers thought it was every person's God given right to believe in God as each person saw him, and it is one of the founding points of the Colonies. Do you think the Pilgrims were coming over for the corn and Turkies? You should have seen the look on her face. I hate these Southern Baptist scum. They try to suppress everything that's fun. They are just like the Taliban, except that they are not in power. The only thing worse than a religious fanatic is a nihilist, though not by much. God Bless Texas |

Aren't Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson both Southern Baptists? I think they definitely disprove the stereotype that Southern Baptists don't like to have fun. [:P]

Quoted: I was just in the coffee room here at work (yeah I post at work), anyway there was some woman in there who said she was glad that trick 'o treaters had not come by here house. She is a Southern Baptist and she denounced Halloween as a Devil's Holiday. Now I work at a pretty high end establishment and have to wear a suit and tie (just so you can envision this). But as soon as I heard her say that I shouted out "Really? I love Halloween, its another chance for me to Worship the Devil." You should have seen the look on her face. I hate these Southern Baptist scum. They try to suppress everything that's fun. They are just like the Taliban, except that they are not in power. -SouthernShark Dude what a fool you are! just like the Taliban!?!? what did that silly woman do to you? NOTHING. Looks like your much more like the Taliban than she due you being such a hateful a$$. |

Quoted: A very apt comparison. I would submit that many Christians believe same thing as does the Taliban, just to a lesser (most times) degree. That belief is that they should have the right to force their belief system on other people. The (fill in the denomination) feels they should be able to, say, keep a store owner from selling beer on Sunday. The Taliban believes they should be able to kill anyone selling it ANY day. Exact same belief, just to different degrees. I think that people that are anti...(fill in the denomination) are just like commies. The commies would kill somebody if the are a part of...(fill in the denomination) and some poeple will just talk hateful crap about ....(fill in the denomination). Same thing just different degrees. |

Quoted: Quoted: Yeah, I know what you mean. Just because they tend to lead solid, moral lives, and are among the pillars of society, they are so damned judgemental, with all the name calling and such. I can't stand their superior attitude thinking that God matters. Why can't we all just have a "live and let live" attitude? [rolleyes] Bullshit. That can be said for any individual, no matter what their beliefs are. I've met Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, and atheists who are all productive members of society who lead "solid, moral (in the case of the atheists 'ethical') lives. It's that Baptists see fit to force their beliefs on other people (some of whom have the same damn beliefs). Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell seem to think that just because I don't believe in their brand of Christianity that I'm going to Hell. Well, excuse me, but fuck you. Baptists [b]are[/b] an overly judgemental religious group. They are so Puritan (and amazingly hypocritical) that I want to freakin' puke. Of course, not all Baptists are intolerant, self-centered, self-righteous, condecending assholes. "Do what you will, just don't give us the 'pillar of society' bullshit." Man you need to do some home work you sound like a commie LOL! If I think my way of life is best thats great I can do that,way the heck would I make it my way of life it I did not think it best?!?!?!?! That dose not mean I think I'm better that everybody else. And don't be a cry baby,no one will try to force their beliefs on you. Even if they did tell them to go away! |

"I'm sure that the Taliban did not start out by killing women who weren't veiled in public or by imprisoning people who shaved."

Quoted: **yawn** This is another attempt by SouthernShark to troll the forums and try to divide fellow gun owners. For those of you frequently on the AK forum, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And it looks like people are playing into it. Good job SouthernShark, your doing a better job than Sarah Brady at dividing gun owners (again). [(:|)] You mean this D!CK weed likes AK too?!?!?!?! Thats it! he better not let me get my hands on him. LOL! |
