Wishful thinking?

Tell her to read Exodus 21:20-21 and ask what the hell the crazy sky spirit was thinking when he said that.

 

hmmm....i love my husband unconditionally. if he had not wanted to get married i would have been okay. its just that in order to get financhial aid you have to make below a certain amount. my dad wanted me to go to college. however, when i applied for aid he made too much money. he made enough to pay his bills but not enough to put me through college too. so because i got married i got to go to college and major in art history which is what my husband wanted for me. unfortunately not everyone in a committed relationship can recieve benefits because they are not married. it kinda sucks.

 

lol i will tell my friend to tell her. i would rather not talk to her again and let her be content in her own little world. thank you though

 

It's a pointless debate.

You're merely alienating people for silly reasons.

 

you think what you think and i will think what i think. you are entitled to an opinion as am i.

 

That's exactly my point.

What gives you the right to force your opinion upon others?

No one likes a preacher.

 

I'm not sure everyone getting along would be worthwhile.

What if everyone got along because we were all judgmental zealots?

 

dude. in debates you defend your response. i was doing that and she was not even giving original answers. she was being a preacher and not really defending position. it just made me sad that she did not try to see it from my perspective. which i do see from her perspective i just do not agree with it and i do not have to. are you trying to start your own debate with me? if so i am not really up for it.

 

I'm not debating you. There is no debate, because I'm right and you're wrong. I'm lecturing you on maturity. At a certain stage in your life you simply have to understand that people are rather set on their beliefs. You could argue with her for years and make the most valid points in the world, but she still will not change her opinion. Faith, and faith-based beliefs are not logically driven. It's that simple. The fact that her responses make you defensive and "sad" only show your own insecurity with your beliefs.

You do not see this from her perspective... you cannot possibly see it from her perspective as an atheist. I cannot see it from her perspective as an atheist. It's a fruitless argument and a mature person would simply drop it.

 

bite me sir robin. i have more fucking experience on this planet than you. not just because i'm four years older. i'm done with you. grow up why don't you.

 

I told you... insecurity.

 

not insecurity. i just have my own beliefs. why can't you get off your own damn high horse? what is your problem? why do you have to be better than everyone else here? i have read some of your posts and you act like you are better than most.

 

Its rUbin....People always get that wrong.

 

Human kind would spontaneously combust from an ego explosion.

I'm only lecturing you because you posted this here, in an open public forum. You wanted input, and you're getting it. The fact that you can't handle my criticism, which is actually rather constructive if you bother reading it, only shows how truly insecure you are.

My problem is that I have to go back to work in 3 minutes but still have to take a shit. I don't think that I'm better than anyone else, but I might just feel better after I empty my bowls.

 

I hate to say it, but I myself would rather not be in the company of someone like that. If they don't know well enough that it's often damaging to bring religion into a friendship, then I don't want anything to do with them. I have plenty of friends who are that strong in their beliefs, but the only mention they would make of it to me would be to tell me that they're praying for me in a hard time, or every now and then trying to slip in that church invite. I'm not an atheist, but I am not into organized religion. But anyone who would even think quoting a verse like that in response to your offer of friendship is nowhere even close to worth your time or effort. Let her be alone, because eventually she'll come across Bible verses that alienate her friends, her family, her church mates...or she'll just live in a delusional state forever, and either way, you tried, no use in wasting your time anymore.

 

have fun taking a dump and just sometimes watch what you say. i do apologize for over reacting but please look at everything from all sides. i try to do that. you are not right.

 

I'm always right.

Something tells me that it wasn't the religious nut who started the gay marriage debate in this scenario.

But all and all, I agree.

I do not really associate with religious folk.

 

i have moved on. just got really upset here because i felt like i was being attacked. i understand i am not always right. not everyone is. but sirrubin i felt was attacking me rather than having a discussion.
