The class wasnt on athesism.

That was not stated in the original so we are free to assume what sort of class a college professor might likely say such a thing. Wouldn't it be more logical to assume that it was a class concerning religion and athiesm than one in spherical geometry?

and to quote your line for the 500th time.

that is your ignorant unsubstantiated opinion.

The only ignorance I have concerning this is how many more times you will change this story to support your point.

Ah hahaha

What do priests have to do with this? We were discussing professors at a school. But to answer your question, if a christian professor had stood up and asked for the "atheist god" to strike him and a student had done the same thing, I would feel the same way about it. Unless the class is teaching religion, then it should be left out of the conversation and that goes both ways. Stick to teaching the kids and leave your beliefs for your private life for when you are not at work.

Priests regularly get up in front of people - including soldiers - and 'teach' them that Our Lord will look after them, etc, etc, etc. They've done so for centuries. Atheists have also been annoyed for centuries by this and for many entirely understandable reasons, but have learned not to get up and punch them for it. Especially soldiers, in fact - because these realise that they're not meant to attack the citizens that they're meant to be protecting.

Sorry, CB. For me, the story gave me the biggest hand-to-face moment of this thread so far. It's concocted specifically to make right wing American Christians chortle - but, exactly because it's designed that way, it's only going to reinforce the dislike of right wing American bible-thumpers amongst those who are against them.

Oh I don't know. If I had a professor come in and start preaching atheism to my class I would probably have thought he pretty much got what he deserved. And yes I would be just as annoyed if he suddenly started preaching the gospel. But I have a feeling the reactions from some would be vastly different if it had be presented that way.

Depends on the nature of the class, doesn't it. CB never established that.

Church organization burned heretics at the stake. Don't confuse Church organization with religion just as we don't confuse forum with lifestyle.

We could say that about a lot of your posts.
Sometimes you even insult people to get your point across.

I would like to say some words to you.

This is going to be interesting...

Lets rearrange those words to make some sense:

quote:

ORIGINAL: chatterbox24
God. Christian. Muslim. Jew. Atheist. Agnostic. Jesus. Holy Spirit.

And you missed sooo many other and equally justifiable religions and orders!
Bad memory? Not worthy? Can't be assed??

quote:

ORIGINAL: chatterbox24
Knowledge. Wisdom. Peace. Care. Kindness.

All nice words - none of which you seem to subscribe to for the most part.

quote:

Knowing.

Something you are not and adequately demonstrated with your posts.
You think you know, you tell us you know; but actually, you show us that you don't.

quote:

ORIGINAL: chatterbox24
Children. Love. Compassion.

Again, nice sentimental words of irrelevance.

quote:

ORIGINAL: chatterbox24
Black. White. Red. Mixed

Why only three races and a mix?
What of all the other races??

quote:

ORIGINAL: chatterbox24
German. American. British.

Again, why only three nationalities?
Being picky, are we???

quote:

ORIGINAL: chatterbox24
tolerance. Tolerance.

Something you definitely aren't and do not show to others.

quote:

That's assuming the people are engaged in sensible and balanced discourse.
You don't do that.

everyday atheists decide who has the power, and everyday it is us, the people who have the power.

Not some mystical being, not a deity of your choice, not some imagined creature.

Us, humans who inhabit this world.

If you want to abdicate your responsibility to your fellow man/woman and this planet, feel free but please don't try and drag the rest of us down with you.

We have free will.

People have the power.

Your cry to be meek is a abject cop out

Yes, they do. Usually in church in front of an audience who is there to listen to them do just that. But that really doesn't have anything to do with the story, does it?

From childhood onward most of us in predominately Christian societies get taught Christianity, THB. At school, at home ... everywhere, and whether we like it or not. It really *does* impact on the story, yes. This is because comparing and contrasting is one of the most fundamental ways of exercising the critical faculties.
