Atheists: Fully Human?

[RedsoxRockies]

I totally agree. I'm completely agnostic, but I have never understood why people are so offended by God. And if anyone should be offended by God, it's me, having grown up in an ultra-ultra-ultra conservative and mega-triple-ultra religious town where my family was practically the only family that didn't kneel down to the local religion.

Even the idea of public prayer does not bug me, unless, of course, people are being forced to pray.

I'm of the opinion that it takes a weak will and an even weaker mind to be offended by something one doesn't believe in or agree with.

I am not offended by it, I just don't want to pledge myself to anything.

You should add about 10 more cards in your signature, TNP. There aren't enough.

Over/Under on how many ABs between all of TNP's players until one of them gets a hit?

I'd be willing to go as high 20

I think a bug will shut down the website before he gets to 16. Or he'll get bored with it, realize he can do the same thing with Baseball Mogul, and quit by then.

We could even have a side bet of 6:1 that the pitcher gets that first hit

If the game uses DHs instead of Pitchers at the plate, then I think 20:1 that the pitcher gets the first hit is still a fair line

Just a couple thoughts I had after reading the link here, didnt read the convo going on, but I think the world would be a better place if Atheists called all the shots. At least they know how important your life is and wont throw it away by sending you somewhere like Iraq.

Also, it seems to me nothing teaches intolerance of each other quite like religion does, if you really think about it.

One more, its hard to threaten me that I will go to hell for not believing in your god, when basically today, is hell already. And people have it worse than me and I think im living in hell. WTF?

Jesus said, "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS those who curse you,DO GOOD to those you hate you, and PRAY for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you THAT YOU MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN" (Matthew 5:44-45)

Anyone who calls themselves a Christian and does any less needs to read the Word of God again!

Yeah...I had some stress: Moving, work, new one on the way and really had to evaluate this whole thing. I popped in and read some stuff after I left...saw some things that made me wonder if I should come back....

Decided to take a breather.

Deleted a few of my old threads.

Decided to take another breather.

Easing back in, testing the waters.

Did you read the thread in Sports Talk about that new 16 year-old "phenom" who wants to play for the Yankees? We were wondering if it was your child. Didn't you have a Las Vegas sabbatical once?

There you go! That's the next chapter of "The Life & Times Of RickD".

[RickD]

Next chapter will be....where did I pack the diapers?

Hmmmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue (or the keyboard) as well yet, but it might grow on me.
