I have the solution to problems in the Middle East.
 

Get the muslims to call a Jihad.

Get the christians to call a crusade.

Let them both cancel / wipe each other out.

Then the pagans and atheists i.e. (the intelligent free thinkers in life) can live in peace and harmony and have all the oil to ourselves.

Jason, I know I called a truce with you..

but..

Why don't you insult the Jewish faith, and make sure you get EVERYBODY mad at you?

Not cool.

Ah, God isn't the answer, atheists are!

I didn't insult any faith. I just simply used terms that are part of those individual religions that deal with punishing heathens and reclaiming the holy lands or holy wars....

Friday is a slow day.

Druez, it's a nice effort but your timing is off. It's a Friday afternoon in summer. People will be heading outside for the weekend. Not exactly prime time for this sort of thing.

Next time, try posting your wisdom around 10 a.m. on a Tuesday. A few well-timed bumps and you've got most of the week for everyone to get offended and fired up and start a big flamewar. You know, while you sit in front of your screen clicking "refresh" with a big smile and your hand down your pants.

Just some advice.

No, you just stated that if you were Catholic or Muslim, you were neither a free-thinker, nor intelligent.

aye it is and I'm trying to kill the last hour and a half of work....

Damnit. Are you reading my mind again?

(puts on tinfoil hat)

Not catholic, christians in general. What I actually said though was the pagans and atheists are the intellegent and free thinkers in life. That isn't saying that muslims or christians aren't intellegent or free thinkers.

I believe there are many intelligent christians and muslims, but then they aren't free thinkers. I also believe there are many christians and muslims that are free thinkers, but aren't intelligent.

Let's try this again, druez..

can you try that again, WITHOUT contradicting yourself within 10 words?

At least you're being honest now.

I don't think this thread has turned out the way he expected it.

Ok here is the problem. If you are intellegent and still believe in christianity or muslismism you can't be a free thinker.

If you are a free thinker but believe in christianity or muslimism then obviously you can't be intelligent to believe that the crusades and jihad are good things that god would of wanted of his people.

:rolleyes:

Interesting, if you are a christian or muslim you cannot be an intelligent free thinker! :rolleyes:

I know pagans and athiest who are neither intellegent or freethinkers. Discuss.

Now you are grasping the theory. You can be one or the other, but not both....

While we're at it, lets take out everyone that starts a thread on a Text Sim message board dealing with religion.

Sorry Ksyrup there can be only one

Smoke another joint and go hug your pet tree...

Yeah because all we ever do here is talk about text sims right?

I don't have a pet tree, but I'll take the joint.

Lying, desperate-for-attention, hate-monger?

You're right, I see that job is taken.

And all atheists are intelligent free thinkers?

I just figured I'd match you on unintelligent comments.

Don't feed the troll.

Druez works here in my office (8 feet from me) and I have to put up with this bullshit all day long. Interestingly enough he thinks this shit is real:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/05...rg_conference/

Guess thats what he means by free-thinker.

Edited spelling

No, but they have the ability to be both intelligent and free thinkers at the same time.

There are many atheists that are unintelligent and aren't free thinkers, but that isn't the point. The point is only atheists have the ability to be both at the same time.

Lets take my good friend Slapbone "we share an office at work" He is a devout christian. He is very intelligent but is not a free thinker. In his momments where he becomes a free thinker, his blind faith over-rides his intelligence.

I hope you work at ground level and are looking down.

May God bless you for helping me see the light.

How about bored on a friday at work. Desperate for attention on a message board? Naaa don't think so.... Its a message board where I kill time.

Hate-monger? Now that is funny..... When was the last time an atheist declared a jihad or a crusade on another religion?

You are welcome my child.

Hmm.. the Pledge of Alleigance Brouhaha?

Slapbone, my condolences.

About 45 minutes ago.

And if you are a pagan who worships elemental forces of nature or an athiest who doesn't really believe in anything supernatural, you're an empty thinker.

Might as well really get this thing rolling. :rolleyes:

Do you watch the news or keep up on current events? The terror cells in the area have called a Jihad against us. A general in our military basically called this a holy war. If you can't see that this is slowly turning into a holy war you are kidding yourselves......

I find it INCREDIBLE that people can't look at christianity over the last 2000 years and see all the wars fought in its name. The same can be said of the muslims or just about any other religion you can pick....

I think we all think too much.

Yea, that why its been relatively silent lately. I let him out from under my desk and look what he does.

Next stop is surely the whole Yankee/South diatribe he likes to go off on.

Except one of us.

LOL

Isn't this the atheist corrollary to Druez's Law?

Thanks for the advice. You were pretty much 100% on target with this, except for the hands down the pants thing. Thats slapbones job because in case you haven't figured it out yet he is my bitch.

You know what really cracks me up is when people say they believe in a single supreme being, but it is not God. Isn't that the definition of God?

42 posts in an hour. If there is one thing we count on Druez for, it's post count.

In case no one has noticed, I am really trying to hijack this thread without subtracting from it comedic value. The first post by Maple Leaf is probably the funniest.

You were thinking what I was thinking. So if athesist have no beliefs, then how are they free thinkers if they only think they are the only thing in existence? So if attacking the Muslims and Christians, aren't you declaring a "holy war" on those faiths?

I think we can all safely agree that all Yankees must die. So he has a point there (we are talking about the baseball team right?)

I thought druez's solution was going to be this...

Hmm... I used to be an atheist, and it was my intelligent free-thinking that led me to the conclusion that there is indeed a God.

Learning to humble yourself before Him doesn't diminish your intelligence or free will at all.

Done Deal. Just put Druez in a room with "The Button" with a sign on it that says "Do not push this button". I think it's safe to assume that nuclear holocaust would follow.

Actually athesists do have beliefs. They just don't believe there is some god listening or sitting in judgement of us. Nor do they think a god commands us to goto war against all the infidels or do we believe that we need to reclaim a holy land.
