I'm sick of atheists and their stupidity, bigotry, arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy, and discrimination against everyone who disagrees with them. I'm sick of them pouring their crap on us and constantly shoving their belief's down our throats. I'm sick of them harassing, ostracizing, and discriminating against Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc. They do nothing to contribute to society. All they do is spread hatred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-29119010146230667462014-03-27T22:53:17.031-04:002014-03-27T22:53:17.031-04:00Pretty close Bachfiend....you possibly even know s...Pretty close Bachfiend....you possibly even know some Yugo people.

His survival in the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt he ascribed to divine providence.<br /><br />What makes you think that Bosnia was increasingly nonreligious as a result of communist rule in Yugoslavia? Yugoslavia was deeply religious after its formation in the '20s, but as it became increasingly urbanised after World War II (as with many other countries), religion became less important.<br /><br />Admittedly, Tito did try to suppress religion because religious differences (between Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim) were a threat to unity. Once Tito died, religious enmity reappeared quickly and Yugoslavia disintegrated.<br /><br />The Yugoslav republics fought on both sides in both World War I and II. The puppet regime in Bosnia during World War II perpetrated a holocaust on Serbians of unimaginable savagery.<br /><br />Australia in the '50s got a lot of migrants from Yugoslavia. The enmity between the different groups carried over here too, mainly along religious grounds - particularly between Orthodox Serbs and Catholic Croats - which extended to the formation of soccer clubs divided on religious adherence.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-3192389801327618832014-03-27T20:28:37.534-04:002014-03-27T20:28:37.534-04:00In some quarters, "nominally Christian" ...In some quarters, "nominally Christian" is good enough for a hatefest.<br />Verdad Desnudanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-61514638746150208112014-03-27T13:15:08.164-04:002014-03-27T13:15:08.164-04:00You should look up the word "variance".You should look up the word "variance".Commissar Boggs, Ministry of Truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-87208486881411740412014-03-27T12:37:16.676-04:002014-03-27T12:37:16.676-04:00But if the frequency of the "extreme" ev...But if the frequency of the "extreme" events increases, will they still be "extreme"?<br /><br />Yes of course, the father from average they are the more extreme they are regardless of frequency.

State-imposed Christianity doesn't have the cleanest record either. So long as the populace has a general moral consensus and sees the moral life as a good worth striving for, secular democracy appears to be the best system. <br /><br />The task for Christians is to bring people to the faith by making a compelling and attractive case for the truth claims of Christianity.

At least not according to Wikipedia.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler<br /><br />"The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble. All that's left is to prove that in nature there is no frontier between the organic and the inorganic. When understanding of the universe has become widespread, when the majority of men know that the stars are not sources of light but worlds, perhaps inhabited worlds like ours, then the Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity."--Hitler's Table Talk.<br /><br />Sound like anyone on this website?<br /><br />TRISHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
