Open your mind before your mouth. Faith is the purposeful suspension of critical thinking, your post would be an example.

  • But closing out the possibility of God is open-minded? Typical atheist contradiction and BS.

  • I' have reread your post and snakes, and the OP if you were making a reference to it. I don't see where you pulled out anyone was closing off the possibility of God. Care to clarify? I'm not flaming, I'm genuinely curious about where your statement is coming from.

  • "Open your mind" and "faith is the purposeful suspension of critical thinking" imply that the OP, because of his faith, has no critical thinking and a closed mind. He even cited the OP as an example of both. Thus proclaiming an open mind would deduce that there is no God and by definition, faith proclaims you as closed minded.

  • I took it as he meant think before you speak as "open your mind" "faith is the purposeful suspension of critical thinking" I took that as a definition of Faith, to really have faith in something you must abandon all critical thinking. I don't think he was really putting the OP down the way you think, it seems you just had a bit of over thinking what was said mate. Its obviously a troll post, so don't take things said in such a post so seriously man.

  • I know it is a troll post but telling somebody to think before they speak while also saying that he can't think because he has faith is insulting. I personally support all viewpoints, and was attempting to illustrate the hypocrisy in Snake's statement. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Never said God couldn't possibly be real, did I? Your interpretation of my post might point to that, but you're mistaken. Read his post, I'd say it's a clear example of his faith blinding his ability to think past what his God tells him is right, no? I merely pointed out the example of faith suspending a person's critical thinking ability, nothing more, nothing less. You aren't stupid for being religious, nor are you any more stupid because you have faith, but you sure as hell are stupid if you can't even possibly question that faith. More so if you don't buy a video game because it supports human beings of the same sex loving each other. If anything, you should be mad at the person humiliating and treating people as if they are not people simply because they like the same sex. That got by you, but my comment didn't? Stop and think about that. You just let a person treat another as if they were scum, less then a person and barely human, but you stopped and completely over exaggerated my post against faith? My contradictive BS huh? Man, you couldn't have trapped yourself in the corner any better then that in a perfect world.

  • THAN that. You don't know this man. You don't know how much he has questioned his faith. You don't know how much anyone that is religious has questioned their faith. Yet you presume that he is "blindly faithful". Have you ever heard the term love the sinner not the sin? He didn't get on here saying that homosexuals are evil. His statement was in fact targeting an agenda contradictory to HIS faith. You sit here and double speak out of your ass. You act as if you are one to judge anyone with your presumptuous attitude towards their beliefs. YOU are the close minded one. YOU are the blinded one. Yet you beat your drum of forced tolerance and oppression. What a sick, twisted view of liberty and rights you have.

  • LMFAO. You ignore the fact this person is openly, purposefully humiliating people, and try to say my logic is twisted? Let me get this straight, [b]it's OK for him to put down others because his God says so, but not OK to put down his God[/b]? Hmm. I'd say that's pretty twisted if you ask me. My attitude was NOT presumptuous, I didn't randomly insult him because of his religion, nor did I assume his beliefs were wrong, I publicly humiliated him for [b]purposefully hurting others[/b]. Nothing double spoken about it. He was putting down others because of his faith, [b]that's what happened[/b]. Nothing was assumed, in fact there was nothing for me to assume, he threw his beliefs and insults on the table long before I entered the thread. It was a completely unprovoked attack on homosexuals, I didn't like that. I was not oppressing him, he was oppressing love of the same sex, was he not? I like girls, there's something about a beautiful women that strikes me, if anyone told me I was wrong for it, I wouldn't be happy. I guess you don't like atheists so you take everything I say extremely offensively and act like I'm oppressing your beliefs, that's fine. [u]But do me a favor and don't oppress me for not letting asshole's hurt other's because their faith says it's ok[/u]. Nothing was premeditated nor assumed. I didn't target his religion for my benefit, I targeted an asshole for hurting other's and using faith as an excuse. You're nothing more than a butt hurt religious person who has a grudge against atheists. [b][u]You couldn't even see a person using faith to hurt other's[/u][/b], all you saw was the atheist in the crowd. I'm the blinded one, right.

  • Please quote where he humiliated and attacked homosexuals. You're so blind you can't even see your logical fallacy! By your logic you are doing the exact same thing. Condemning him for doing it but praising yourself for some twisted attempt at sticking up for somebody that is, in your messed up view, being attacked. I have no problem with atheists. I have a problem being told ANYONE'S beliefs are wrong because you don't happen to share them. You are so blinded by your hatred that you can't even see the point of this. You presumed how he arrived at his beliefs, saying he has never questioned his faith. Then you go on to attack him on a personal level simply for being in opposition of your view. Then you suspend all logic and attack me personally for pointing out the baseless stance you have taken. You paint a beautiful portrait of oppression and forced "tolerance". Tolerance of ONLY your personal view.

  • Check out the tags. #Evil #Gays #OurEnemys. That's where he attacked them. Yes he attacked them. I guess you didn't see that? I'd call that a unprovoked attack, wouldn't you? Sorry to tell you but I'm not saying his faith is wrong, but he's sure as hell using it to hurt others, as stated before. He is openly hurting other's, also stated before, for no reason other than his God says it's OK for him to and wrong to be gay. That would be textbook oppression, would it not? He attacked many on a personal level, for being homosexual, I attacked him for being close minded. How do you beat a bully? You stand up to him. Get it? I targeted an asshole for hurting other's and using faith as an excuse.

  • Yet in his post he cites godless liberals. According to his words, his enemies are godless liberals. You don't stand up to a bully by exhibiting the same behavior. All that does is escalate bullying into full on violence. How is boycotting a game an attack? By that logic blacks in the 50's and 60's went to war. You specifically targeted his faith, continue to do so, and justify it with a made up defense of the defenseless. If what you are saying about his intentions are true, which is a stretch, you are no better than he. Again, you call it blind faith and an excuse thereby denying the legitimacy of his faith. How can you not see my goal here? He can have his faith, and you can have your lack thereof. The difference is that you are continually attacking his faith and he has since stayed silent. You berate him for his faith yet he hasn't replied. The problem isn't different beliefs, the problem is the intolerance of different beliefs.

  • How is that not a deliberate attack on the LGBT community, their supporters, and their lifestyle? Is it going to take a picture of the OP picketing a funeral to show there is genuine hatred there?

  • He cited godless liberals. Why is it an attack to boycott a video game? Why does he have to accept a lifestyle that he believes is wrong lest he be labeled hateful? Why can't he have his own beliefs? Who are you to say he can't, yet say he is wrong for saying it is wrong TO HIM?

  • Why is it an attack to boycott a video game? Why does he have to accept a lifestyle that he believes is wrong lest he be labeled hateful? Why can't he have his own beliefs? The attack wasn't the boycott, it was the ATTACK. WHERE HE ATTAKCED THEM BY CALLING THEM EVIL AND HIS ENEMY. There's a difference between HAVING YOUR BELIEFS and USING THEM WITH THE FULL INTENT OF HURTING OTHER PEOPLE. You can't be this dense. Literally. I won't accept it. Do you not see the hash tags where he calls them evil. Do you not see the part where he signed in with the FULL INTENTION of hurting others? Seriously, maybe you don't know what a hash tag is?

  • Calling homosexuality evil is an attack? Are you really that sensitive? His threat of boycott is the point of the thread. Do you not think blacks in the 50's thought southern whites were evil? Were their boycotts an attack? I still maintain that you can't presume that his hash tags were specifically targeting gays and not liberals, especially since he cited liberals in his post. By your very argument, anybody throughout history who stood up for there beliefs attacked their opposition. MLK attacked racists. You are attacking the OP. how are YOU so dense to not see the truth of this matter? How are you contradicting yourself in every single post and not seeing your hypocrisy? His reason for attack isn't good enough but yours is? TYPICAL ATHEIST BS.

  • Internet warriors. "Typical atheist contradiction and BS." He was obviously already biased against atheists in the first place, no matter what stance was taken if he saw atheism you were a target. I'm still not sure on what I presumed, the guy had everything on the table in his first post, there was nothing to presume.

  • If his post read like this you wouldn't be defending him: "Does this game support the Jews? I need to know where my money if being funneled. No way some Jew liberal is getting my money. #destiny #jews #evil #ourenemy" Please don't be dense
