Does John have visions of grandeur?
No, he just likes to show everyone how "smart about the world" he has become and his "free thinking" mentality, yet as "far" as he'd like to think he's come, he still hasn't gotten away from name calling.
There are men who criticize and do nothing, and there are men who do something because they're tired of criticizing. Which one do you think Mr. Christianity basher is?
Criticize for sure. I could say do nothing, but he has provided a lot of entertainment
For myself, about as much entertainment as when there were those "anti atheists" starting all the threads here.
What is really sad is that if people listened to some of the crap here, you would never believe that religion can actually be used for good. Those who are doing the good are those who are usually off their ass LOL
Who was that who made the claims regarding wars started by Atheists?

From what I gather, doombug and a lot of accounts he set up under different names.
No, he just likes to show everyone how "smart about the world" he thinks he has become (back from yet another forum), yet he still hasn't gotten away from name calling.

One of a couple.
At times, I'm not sure who I find more irritating and holier than thou LMAO
Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ...
John
Don't give yourself to much credit.
You're no better than Clancy and some of those others here spreading their hate.
I'm not the one pointing my finger at the hypocrisy, you are.
So, what have YOU done to try and make a change?

What I do myself I don't do for any praise,
but do to try and make a difference, no matter how small. I don't believe any church is perfect, and ANY organization that tries to helps others can ALWAYS use help.
I do however know from experience that it's far easier to bitch than to try and make a change.
I suggest instead of you bitching here online about religious organizations, you go out and try to make a difference yourself because if you don't, you don't have to look far to find the hypocrisy you're always trying to point out to others.
As far as following you here, hmmm, wonder who was that who sent that e-mail telling me about this place and mentioning I should join?
Besides that, I have some catching up to you as far as getting da boot LMAO.
Got it. Thank you for clarifying.Apologies, I'd scratch my head to.
What I meant to say is that John can't differentiate between between men killing others in the name of their religion when in reality those men are only killing for their own personal/political/power reasons.
Just because man says he's killing in the name of his God does not mean he's telling the truth.
Some time ago you posted a scale of the earth in the Universe. I think in the grand scheme of things, if there is a God, he has better things to do than have humans killing in his name.
John
You do nothing but bitch and complain and do nothing about it. You see wrongs, but you don't try to make rights by your own actions.
We've long ago sounded like a broken record on this subject, and I for one am grow weary of it.
I'm a pretty dumb guy who just has happened to be very lucky or very blessed in life (however you want to look at it), but as dumb as I am (and yes, I have no doubt you're a much smarter man than myself), you can't see you're own shortcomings and hypocrisy.
When I tell someone to get off their ass and try to make a difference other than bitch and moan about it, if you take it as self righteous, so be it
Get off your ass.
