Great, that will be a perfect present.

 

[Castiel]

For serious?

Indeed. Teach a person to think for themselves and determine their own path....not try to impose your own on them. That isn't preaching education and freethinking...it is as Lysander said, Evangelising, the only difference between you is that your Gospel is different from theirs.

People watch channel 4?

And my 'gospel' is?

 

[UncleRuckus]

Are we then tainted by it?

Well sure we are, those children who were used as a commodity came to power and sent the ancestors of the likes of you and me into war.

Yeah, I raised an eyebrow too!

inb4 this is GD in a nutshell.

lol @ the French book

 

[Castiel]

And my 'gospel' is?

It's a figure of speech..it simply means that your message may be different, but the way you express it is the same.

So it isn't exclusive then?

 

[UncleRuckus]

So it isn't exclusive then?

I don't think I stated it was, Bio. What's up? It feels like you are wanting me to contradict myself?

 

[Biohazard]

I don't think I stated it was, Bio?

No, just gave the impression I felt that to be Muslim was to support child abuse. I'm happy you concede that every time God Save the Queen is trotted out it's really a glorified anthem to the likes of Richard II, Saville, Glitter..

The only thing I preach is education and free thought. Based on my limited education and logical thought I will happily tell any religious people how wrong they are, if they want to listen. I'm not one to force reason and logic into anyone. If a person wants to live in a deluded/psychotic state of mind, that is their choice. As long as it does not hurt others.

You say you preach education and free thought, yet you are trying to impose (the wrong word, but I can't think of another right now) a singular worldview on people who may, for whatever reason, have come to a different conclusion about their worldview than you.

How do you actually know they are deluded and psychotic (do you actually understand the terms themselves?)..you may think they are wrong, you may have come to a different conclusion than they have, yet that is subjective...you both may be wrong, they may be right, you may be right.....however if you are truly preaching education and free thought, you would be encouraging others to determine for themselves their own truths, not telling them they are wrong in whatever conclusions they may already have determined for themselves.

For serious?

DO I really need to explain the difference between 'stuff that's make believe' and logical deduction?

Posting finger... itchy...

 

[anything I don't mind]

Disgusting, I am only surprised its not on the BBC.

I obviously made the cardinal sin (pun intended) of failing to put the word 'preach' in 'inverted' commas :-\

 

[starfighter]

I am not a Muslim so I rather they didn't bother, but really who cares, hardly the end of the world.

And you think that was the actual issue with what you said?

 

[Cosimo]

Obviously a result of the brainstorming session to improve ratings.

 

[ince]

The guy has admitted this is for controversy and publicity.

It's just a stunt

What's the difference between being an anti-theist and an atheist?

An atheist doesn't believe in God, an Anti-theist is someone who is against the idea of a god even existing. An atheist can disbelieve in the existence of a god but still hope one exists.
