Re: Concentrated assholiness from the prayer thread.
OK.
Notice mrreet has been banned for one week.
Let's move on from here.
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

Since mreet2001 cannot reply to any comments made here, perhaps there should be at least a temporary lock on this thread.

Yes, I'm going to start a ban thread on you in the squad trollboy.

And you had to crap on his thread and essentially be the agnostic/atheist version of say... Jehovah's Witnesses... inappropriately trying to shove your world view on others in a manner that is just as obnoxiously proselytizing as Christianity will ever be.
Shame on you. Seriously.FYI, the person I consider one of the most intelligent and eloquent posters here is a JW.
Nothing wrong with that. They just happen to be the most over the top in proselytizing for their faith compared to the majority of other Christian sects. I am invariably polite when I get a knock on the door, take a Watchtower, and wish the folks a good day. Why? Because they are doing what they believe God wants them to do and I am not going to be an smurf and tell them to get lost.
Around here, it seems like a lot of the agnostic/athiest sorts feel the need to spread their world view in the same sort of manner... and I am just saying that it pisses me off. It costs nothing to respect other people's beliefs and not feel the need to belittle them for it.
I hope it didnt come off as me being down on JW's... I just picked them because they do tend to be a little more aggressive in their recruiting efforts.
From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law.

There is no freedom of religion unless we have freedom from religion.

I agree to a degree. mrreet was an ass, but keeping the thread open for attack is sort of kicking him while he's down.
Then again there's also a discussion of religion and the responses it should/does bring that does not necessarily concern itself with mrreet2001.

Is it assholiness? Assholism? Assholishness?

Re: Concentrated assholiness from the prayer thread.
I just got here and I can't for the life of me figure out why this thread is still open.
