sure. jackassery reaps what it sows. but suggesting Christians are just dumber is flat bigoted.
I don't hate jews and never quite understood the jew hate. About to graduate and go to work in the financial sector myself, many of my bosses throughout my life will be jews and I have a lot to learn from jews. Jews for whatever reason tend to be financial geniuses and I look up to them in a way.
Yup, the same bigotry that they accuse Christians of. The way i see it, just leave people alone and let them make their own decisions. As a christian myself, i may try to help those who are open to the idea, but i'll never cross that line into being a nuisance. You're en led to your opinions and I'm en led to mine, IMO.
Meh. Stereotyping, imo.
I don't hate any of the board Christian zealots for their blatant disregard for logic.
your manner toward them is perceptibly contemptuous. at times it is abusive.
Fascinating.
I perceive myself to be equally contemptuous and possibly abusive towards blatant idiots, regardless of race, religion, gender, team affiliation or sexual preference.
You do crank it up another notch against Christians, tbh. I gotta agree with Winehole here. Probably you don't even mean to or realize it though.
I don't have the stats in front of me as to who I may have abused and how often it's happened, so it's possible that you're correct.
Banking started with the Jews because Christians didn't want to violate the bible's usury laws. So they let the infidels do the dirty work in the Jewish ghettos.
With this I will agree.
Being right doesn't make one any less a bigot, and honest bigots don't need to pretend science backs up their sweeping generalizations.

My close friend also works in the financial sector, doing very well. The only specific thing he said about Jews is they will wrestle you for every single penny. Even if you work with them on a job for months to a year. He said obviously the older Jews are especially bad in this regard.
In terms of Jews in general. I think the main complaint is a Jew will ALWAYS view Judaism #1 and many Jewish-Americans put the well being of Israel ahead of America (their own).
IMO, Jews are too fixated on money but I guess that's expected from nomadic people: $$$ gives you power/control.
Wanting to ban gay marriage and abortion is anything but "leaving people alone and letting them make their own decisions."
I have family from Poland & what they told me is the local Jews there also established the concept of CREDIT
Basically Jewish store owners would take paychecks from alcoholics while Polish store owners would tell them: Get the outta here alcoholic and go feed your children with that money instead
Like I stated before. Jews fixation on money rubbed & continues to rub some people the wrong way
All I'm saying is that I'm going to take somebody more seriously if their arguments are based on facts and evidence, rather than hocus pocus supers ious nonsense.
wow you are dumb. First off, virtually every Jew in America has some Polish in him/her, so idk why thought of a Jewish/Polish comparison. 2nd, no store owner would refuse to take money. To act like Jews are the only people who do stuff like take money from alcoholics who should be buying food is re ed.
At that time (Right before WW2) & in this rustic city (Poland)....yes the Jewish store owners were the only ones taking it.
It's not a comparison, simply passing on a story that my mother passed on to me when I pressed the issue (Jews in the city at that time). Obviously not every Jew owned a store etc but that's the distinct difference in terms of business. You can say they were ahead of their time but like I said, some people didn't & still don't approve of it...in their backyard
I'd say that atheists tend to be strident because we're a minority. I don't see many atheists getting across laws that are mostly due to atheism. However, there are a good number of social issues that get brought up due to Christian values (Terry Schiavo, name dropping God as a reason for certain policies, etc etc)
why do atheists want so much attention?
What I wonder is this: what is the general foundation of a TRUE atheists' ethics. I am not saying atheists are unethical, or incapable of ethics. I simply wonder what an atheist believes is the moral foundation for his actions - whether for good and ill.
gays marrying is their failure to leave religious people and their concepts alone. gays don't need their union to be recognized by a religious concept. one thing that gays commonly do is act really flamboyant and throw their lifestyle in our faces while seeking acceptance, not really "leaving people alone" at all. Don't tell me to accept your lifestyle, leave me out of it.
Abortion, that's not leaving babies alone and allowing them to choose whether or not they want to die. TBH in an an abortion, the baby doesn't choose to die. Someone else makes that choice for them and honestly nobody has that right.
Although I was raised Catholic, it would be what goes around comes around
If the thread le is true....then Americans are increasingly hating each other because athiesim is ever growing
Believe it or not, I don't need to religion to know that killing someone is wrong.
