@JamesTuskGeorge: I dunno man. Interpretation of WWJD can vary wildly. In both Matthew and Luke Jesus condemns entire cities to violent death and damnation for not caring for his message or not receiving his disciples. Even literally says "He that is not with me is against me". But yes, in other parts he calls for humility and servitude. In fact he tells people to give away all of their belongings and give no thought for tomorrow. Pretty widely ignored advice for being in the sermon on the fucking mount, eh? Basically it's possible to interpret (earnestly, if not "correctly") Jesus' teachings to back up just about any stance you'd care to take.

@JamesTuskGeorge: I'm sure at the very least he read Matthew 10:34.

Is he... is he "pointing" at me?

Dominionists are terrifying. More terrifying than the Moral Majority or Discovery Institute put together into some kind of giant robot with Pat Robertson's head attacking a gay military funeral. Thank god even other Christian groups stand against this idea. It's something I'd like to see more of from Muslim moderates, frankly, but conquest seems to be even more ingrained into the teachings of Islam. Granted my exposure to Islam is considerably less than that of Christianity. What with all their giant robots.

@thelotuseater725: It's possible that I'm wrong. This goes without saying for me since there's no point where that possibility doesn't exist. Plausibility? I'm not sure what you're asking there. I got kind of lost in the meandering paragraph. Sorry, I just woke up. I'll just say that "god" is not a very descriptive term. And that while there might be something out there that might fit some description of a god, non belief is justified until there is evidence to suspect this thing's existence. At least from where I'm sitting. I'm wide open to finding that reason. But every definition of "god" I've been presented with has been either demonstrably false (lives at the top of a mountain) or so vague as to be meaningless (is the sum of all things). Or outside the universe and unable to be observed or interacted with such as the deists' concept of god. But if he's hiding and someone knows where, by all means tell me.

@awfulintentions: Way to prove Lotuseater wrong about atheist resorting to generalizations.

@awfulintentions: I don't see the justification in telling someone else what they believe and how they behave.

@reboot: My apologies. What I was trying to point out is that it's not so much a matter of proving beyond a doubt but to the point were one feels it is more reasonable to believe. That point varies from person to person based on their criteria for evidence. I find it more productive to discuss what that criteria should be according to logic and reason rather than bickering back and forth about god v no god. Your stated criteria seems to be absolute certainty which strikes me as a bit extreme. Scientific method calls for a working falsifiable model and Occam's razor for the least amount of unwarranted assumptions. There are no absolute certainties in science. Would you mind explaining why you think it's reasonable to set your expectations to black and white absolutes?

@reboot: Dealing in absolutes is a characteristic of fundamentalism.

@awfulintentions: I don't know. I've been seeing some poor arguments from the atheists and agnostics. You can't shout someone down and declare yourself the winner. It's kind of embarrassing from either side. Not that we should expect to see well structured debate on an image blog comment section, so whatever. I try to keep it lighthearted.

@riverdaledragon: I know I don't. Maybe they just haven't dropped yet. Please pray for my balls.

@riverdaledragon: Atheist threat? Good name for a punk band. Could open for Agnostic Front.
