Great post. Narg Send a noteboard - 28/02/2012 09:18:38 PM
A good way to piss people off is to intentionally insult them. Last night my son asked me if he was good at annoying people (he is little and had recently annoyed my wife quite a bit). I told him that everybody is good at annoying people because it can be done by any of us with no effort at all. It is more difficult but worth the effort to not annoy people. It seemed to make sense to him.

Stirring up hard feelings on purpose is just bad form as most grown ups can tell you.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Do you know the best way to anger an atheist? Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 07:10:57 PM 1858 Views
Or, you could baptize one of them, posthumously. nossy - 28/02/2012 07:32:48 PM 1188 Views
Ooo that is hilarious *NM* Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 08:22:19 PM 428 Views
I can't think of any reason for an atheist to be annoyed by that. Tim - 28/02/2012 11:08:44 PM 946 Views
Well, for starters, it's really effing rude. nossy - 28/02/2012 11:31:36 PM 984 Views
It is an act of love. Narg - 29/02/2012 12:34:03 AM 1009 Views
Everyone does it for that reason? (edits for clarity) nossy - 29/02/2012 10:27:02 AM 898 Views
I have some disturbing news for you... Narg - 29/02/2012 06:42:41 PM 946 Views
For anyone reading this: the guy above is wrong, and I am admitting that to you on his behalf, so nossy - 29/02/2012 07:15:38 PM 956 Views
Maybe without realizing it, you have articulated.... Jeordam - 29/02/2012 07:24:13 PM 811 Views
I actually find that conversation quite interesting. nossy - 29/02/2012 08:18:35 PM 935 Views

I cannot possibly agree more with these two paragraphs of yours... LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 09:28:09 PM 968 Views
I'm surprised to see some of this. nossy - 01/03/2012 12:11:31 PM 824 Views
I find the Fall perhaps the most interesting part. Joel - 02/03/2012 09:05:29 AM 1331 Views

There are 3 critical distinctions: 1) Ability to sin, 2) Awareness of sin and 3) Appreciation of sin Joel - 05/03/2012 04:08:36 AM 879 Views
You said it was really effing rude. Narg - 29/02/2012 08:18:40 PM 993 Views

No, I don't blame them or think they are fools. Narg - 29/02/2012 08:41:13 PM 910 Views
It is not an act of love to defy the beliefs of a loved one. LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 02:32:45 PM 1055 Views
Rape? That is ridiculous. Narg - 29/02/2012 05:26:13 PM 959 Views
It's a bit of hyperbole, but not too far from it, imo LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 05:45:39 PM 990 Views
You are trying your best to not understand. Narg - 29/02/2012 07:12:57 PM 976 Views
I suspect that that is where a lot of the issue with it lies. Chas - 02/03/2012 01:33:43 AM 1028 Views

"Spiritual rape" might be going a bit far, but otherwise that sounds about right. Joel - 02/03/2012 08:06:48 AM 1020 Views
Why would they be angry about that? Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:23:56 AM 1114 Views
Denying people rights since it was written 3000 years ago? jh - 28/02/2012 07:44:02 PM 909 Views
Isn't religion different than faith, though? Nate - 28/02/2012 07:44:07 PM 1013 Views
Yeah that's pretty much what I said Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 08:21:56 PM 803 Views
Only if I get to be Pope. Nate - 28/02/2012 08:25:45 PM 918 Views
I love me my vices! Thanks Pope Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 10:14:27 PM 787 Views
Generally the same way you piss off anyone else Isaac - 28/02/2012 08:43:04 PM 930 Views

That's always been my view of the issue. Half-assed non-religious types are just as obnoxious too. Cannoli - 28/02/2012 10:34:12 PM 1168 Views
Seems a got both a pat on the back and a scathing rebuke. I call that a good day Dark Knight - 28/02/2012 11:57:45 PM 1235 Views
Best way to anger an atheist, by declaring all atheists are the same. *NM* Roland00 - 28/02/2012 10:38:51 PM 616 Views
Telling anyone what they actually believe will work. *NM* Aeryn - 28/02/2012 10:51:56 PM 443 Views
This kind of works for many, doesn't it? Jeordam - 29/02/2012 06:22:33 PM 813 Views
I'm an atheist, and I consider it to be my religion. *NM* Aeryn - 28/02/2012 10:51:00 PM 426 Views
Common error number 1: "Atheism isn't a lack of belief, but rather a belief that God doesn't exist." Tim - 28/02/2012 11:18:23 PM 1097 Views
I second that DomA - 29/02/2012 03:46:15 AM 915 Views
Curiously, anger at statements of simple obvious facts is a hallmark of religious fundamentalism. Joel - 29/02/2012 10:27:29 AM 1037 Views
What you're doing there is defining "atheist" and "agnostic" in a way that suits you, but... Tim - 29/02/2012 11:50:27 AM 836 Views
What I am doing is using the terms as they were universally used until about the time I was born. Joel - 05/03/2012 01:11:21 AM 972 Views
So what do you call this position?: Tim - 05/03/2012 08:43:20 AM 929 Views
I call them both agnostic, but the former leans toward atheism while the latter has no lean. Joel - 05/03/2012 10:53:02 AM 982 Views
See, there you go again, defining atheism in such a way as to make it sound ridiculous. Tim - 05/03/2012 11:21:17 AM 807 Views
Well, is unswerving belief a good thing, or not? Joel - 05/03/2012 11:57:05 AM 1034 Views

Conversationally, DKs use of "atheism" at the start of this convo is the only practical definition. Joel - 07/03/2012 03:10:18 AM 1322 Views
Oh really? The guy who was doing it to annoy people? nossy - 07/03/2012 09:53:38 PM 920 Views
The guy who was doing it to annoy atheists based on the terms technical and popular meaning, yes. Joel - 11/03/2012 04:04:36 AM 795 Views
Whatever. nossy - 12/03/2012 12:39:24 AM 1236 Views

I have known very few people who "believe" their religion from rearing and actually understand it. Joel - 29/02/2012 12:08:01 PM 1164 Views
