subby: Christians called "intolerant" by some stupid atheist who is going to burn in hell when he gets there anyone who pays even marginal attention.

Yep.

That was really well written. I dislike the headline, as there is certainly intolerance to be shared by both sides, but author of TFA makes an excellent point regarding this view that any criticism regarding a religious authority is somehow 'anti-Christian'.

Everybody knows the Jews are right.

Atheism is the religion of peace.

pretty subtle subby.

Mmmmmm... nah.

Don't even want to bother with a slashie facetiousnessism.

How dare you mock my system of nonbeliefs!

Obligatory:

I cannot tolerate intolerance.

Aw, its the wrong time of day for this greenlight. I'll check back later, lose interest after 150 or so posts, then just scroll for funny pictures. I hope there is a new funny picture or two. And jesus was a piece of cheese. Big farking mix up.

I LOL'ed.

That headline will bring all the loons to the yard. *golf claps*

As a believer I won't tolerate...violence, bigotry, racism, abuse, sexism and a bunch of other awful sins.

Is it okay NOT to tolerate that which one finds objectionable? Would you not tolerate different opinions?

The worst people in any group tend to be the loudest and therefore most often heard. And not all Christians are fundamentalists. Those who are...well, read the first sentence again.

I had the pleasure of meeting the hell bound Christopher Hitchens this weekend.

That article made articulate well intended points that would welcome a deep and reasoned debate.

Too bad the section of 'Christians' the article is referring to won't have the depth to grasp those nuances or patience or intelligence to respond in kind, or if they do respond, it will be with sound bites, biblical passages and politically-tinged rhetoric.

Even the "I like bacon" part? Because I don't think I could ever deny that part.

OOoohhhHHHOOoo, I love Christopher Hitches, I almost never agree w/ him (atheism is the obvious exception) but he's crazy smart.

I also like this comic:

What_Would_Jimi_Do: Leviticus 18:22!


Leviticus is some crazy shiat. Eat shellfish? Stoning. Cut your hair? Stoning. Wife cheats on you? Stoning. Flat nose? No heaven for you. Crippled? Ditto. Wear two different types of fabric? BZZZT!

You have to laugh at anybody who says they take the bible literally.

Ah, another religion thread. FUN.

Yeah, right... :)

*Yawn* - I think it's too late in the day to start the blame game or start a flame war, but I may stick around to watch anyways.

/intolerance is universal

Bevets or GTFO.

Never saw the "obligatory" post before, but I'm stealing that for some certain Bible thumpers.

It's not that we dislike you, really. Most of you are quite curious and tolerant.

As for the rest of you, well.... It's just -- Could you just hold it down a little while the rest of us are becoming an enlightened race?

irreverence: I LOL'ed.

They be all like " damn right, it's better then yours...I'd teach you, but i'd have to charge"

Vangor: While I agreed with the points the author was making, I don't feel they addressed the article topic. Does not anyone else feel rather unfulfilled by what could have been a far more scathing or flameworthy piece which was really just a preaching-to-the-choir style op-ed?

/all I have to say
//off to bed

They almost always are. Xtians, most Christians, are not interested in reading about atheism even while many atheists read up and study religion quite closely.

Aw what the hell

I should say I personally have never met a Christian interested in studying atheism and I grew up in Texas around many a Christian.

There you go. A nice pic of white Jesus being all majestic and stuff.

At least I'm not the only one who won't read the 900 posts of repeat arguments and just look for funny pictures.

Yarg. Whenever I see these headlines, I just imagine the Mortal Kombat voice saying "FIGHT!"

Or just bust myths, Adam:

Summon Kerpal32...
When the universe is studied with all 11 dimensions in context, supernatural conclusions will be found and the ensuing god will cast all those dirty heathen atheists to the pit of hell.
Oh yea, and every athiests needs to be told that Athiesm does not equal science.

It could be white Muhammad during his Hjri to Medina.

Intolerant Christians? Unheard of. It's a brotherhood of compassion and acceptance.

/disregard crusades
//disregard salem witch trials

It's been my life's mission to eliminate Christianity.

However, they're doing a fine job without my help. Keep up the "good" work guys.
