No. I'm sure means what it says. But I f you think stevebnks misspeaks himself then tell him he is the one with the language problem.
Let’s call it a “language difference” and you can read his words above showing that he meant pretty much what I said.
No problem, mind you, I was just letting you know that he was using an americanism and you didn’t know it. So I was letting you know.
Or, you can narcissistically caim that he was misspeaking his own language in his own country just because it’s not what you would have said.
Name some self-professed Christian here at TTF who you believe interpret their Christian calling this way.
You.
I explicitly stated that is NOT what I think Christianity (scripture) implies.
You're blatantly gainsaying.
If atheists don't want to discuss theism - and endure all the supposed hostility - just stop discussing.
LOLz, if that’s all it took, we’d do it.
Until we go to a courtroom and see “In God We Trust,” or take a piece of money out of our pocket.
Until we go to a ball game or a high school graduation and have to hear a stupid prayer shoved in our faces at an event we’re paying to attend that has nothing to do with Gawd.
Until we take our kids to the gym and have the caregiver physically recoil and ask out loud if they are ~gasp~ atheists because they look at the coloring page of Moses and ask, “who’s the guy at the bonfire?”
Until one of their school friends ask what church they attend and they don’t get invited over any more.
Until a poll is taken of Americans and the Atheist is trusted less. Less than any other Christians-hate-them group like Muslims, gays, Catholics.
Until you take public office and are forced to announce your atheism - or publicly lie to avoid censure.
You’re just another selfish Christian who has no idea the harm his little band of cultists wreak, and denies they ever do anything bad, and lie that it’s just so bloody easy to not be smeared with Christian stench every fucking day.
“Why do you obsess over us?”
Jesus H. Titty Fucking Christ, are you SERIOUS?
Edited to add: Ten buck says you’ll read all that and pretend none of it is true and go on thinking the problem lies with us and all Christians are just minding their own demented business and what are we even complaining about. And that you will never in your life observe it and speak up to stop it.
