There’s No Angel In This Picture of the Aurora Victims’ Vigil

I see stormclouds and rain.

If she gets to say what she sees in the clouds, and angel. Then it is perfectly fine for me to say what I see int he clouds, a penis.

What’s wrong with saying “it’s pareidolia – if you don’t know the definition of the word, look it up (or here’s a link)” and leave it at that?

I saw the angel. It’s human nature under the influence of pareidolia to see an angel.

Now that you mention it, it looks more like a giant dick than an angel.

Which is appropriate for a god that allows something like this to happen – he’s a giant dick.

At the risk of being crude – I see a penis about to penetrate a vagina.   And as angelic a move as that may be…

I like watching weather, and rather than seeing shapes, my brain identifies structures.  I don’t see anything but clouds and rain, though there are some interesting structures in it.

I totally see the angel. I also have a beautiful photo of an angel in the spout of Old Faithful. Does this change my mind about the presence of a higher power?

Either way, even if it does look like an angel, it doesn’t really matter. I remember seeing shapes in clouds as a child. “That one looks like a rabbit!” I didn’t really think it WAS a rabbit…

Heresy! It is well known that Jesus, Mary, and angels appear only in tortillas and grilled cheese sandwiches. Never clouds!

What’s far more comforting is rejecting the immorality of the bill of goods that is “the afterlife”.  

It is the very concept of an afterlife that motivates most fundamental Islamic suicide bombers and, I’d wager, at least figures into a sociopath’s rationalization of mass killings like the Aurora shootings.  Perhaps, and this is ONLY speculation, a killer could justify his actions with the “they’re going to a better place” argument.  Far more is taken from a person when you regard this life as the one and only life.  

Moreover, but for another thread, an afterlife cheapens the environment – the earth is just a cheap hotel room on your way to the deluxe accommodations of your final destiny (because everyone goes to heaven – it’s right there on the bill of sale).

 too many*

Maybe it’s actually Mothra

Pssh. What a load of baloney. It’s clearly a blue whale.

Look at it – He’s facing to the right. There’s a branch jutting into the right side of the photo, and above that is a sliver of blue sky. That parts his mouth. At the left most tip of the light blue, you can see a little ball. That’s his eye.

His pinkish/purplish flipper is right above the building, to the immediate left of the red sign on the building’s upper right.

All hail the cosmic space whale!

I see the tail of a whale. It’s like the whale is stuck into the building.

 Whew… I’m glad I’m not the only one to see the giant sky BJ.

It looked rather tornado-y.  It took awhile to see the “angel”.  

I simply don’t see it, and if someone asked me I did see it, I would tell me no. 

Well, obviously, you don’t have faith.

Seeing rain like this is very common out West.  I always think it’s cool to be standing dry in one location, but see that it’s raining in the distance.

Yep, and something commonly seen in the SW.

Why can’t we just all get along and be tolerant of each others beliefs!!  It’s comments like this C Peterson and the 11 others who liked it that would get you all an ass whooping(this is not how I solve things) if you were to be anywhere near a bunch of theists!!

 Because she will later tell someone that she ‘knows’ god is real because she has seen actual miracles, like angels watching over the mourners of the Colorado massacre.

Of course, we’re unfeeling monsters if we point out that it’s a cloud, but it’s OK to  imply an angel let 12 people die and over 50 others get injured. 

Just to the right of the “angel’s” wings, I see the top of Jabba the Hutt’s head.

What a bunch of Bantha Poodoo!

Theists being so respectful of atheists’ viewpoints and all.

Free speech requires that she be allowed to say stupid things, not that we can’t laugh at them.

“No theist will ever say “God” is perfect ”

What? They just gloat about it every time they open their mouths. Also, there are talks about a plan, and mysterious ways meaning that whatever happens is really that prick’s in the sky fault.

“What is more important, that a person feel happy or that you are right?” Why can a person not be happy when they are shown to be wrong? 

BCP and M Cakovan, refer to the above thread. For all your obvious shortcomings with those comments, the Almighty will forgive you.

I see another batman supervillan, Penguin!

You sure it’s ok for you to believe in Santa at your age?

That’s why this country is going in the crapper, with thinking like this. Again can’t we all just get along and tolerate each others beliefs. There is a way Theists and Non-Theists can come together in times like this, Tolerance!! If we can’t come together in a tradgety like this to be able to reach out to others and give a shoulder or anything else to lean on there is something very wrong with this world regardless of our beliefs. Isilzha, the almighty will forgive you for your isensitive comment. 

The Almighty will forgive you too!! Jim for your insensitive and sarcastic tirade.   

Again like the thread above you probably like that genetalia in that pie hole in your face.

Perhaps because they’re using it as confirmation of their beliefs?

I wish just once that Jesus would show up early and prevent these dastardly events from happening.  He’d be everybody’s hero! 

The little troll is growing into a full fledged fundie wacko, i’m so proud.

If there are theists who prefer to “solve” things with ass whoopings, I say let them.  Then we’ll see whose beliefs need to be tolerated–those who talk things out with rational logic, or those who resort to violence to halt contrary opinions.

 ” It’s comments like this C Peterson and the 11 others who liked it that
would get you all an ass whooping(this is not how I solve things) if you
were to be anywhere near a bunch of theists!!”

Make that 12 others. Bring your “bunch of theists”. Just. Bring. It.

“Why can’t we just all get along and be tolerant of each others beliefs!!”

Because you stupid fuckers are trying to get your faerie tales melted in with my laws. unlike chocolate and peanut butter, they do not go together.

Just bring the “ass whooping”. I haven’t had my exercise for today.

 Glasofruix  is full of Win.

Where are we shoving it down your throats, explain? What is the big problem if you don’t believe. Why not ignore it? For your information Glasofruix the Supreme court has stopped theists from doing that remember?  For people who don’t believe you all talk a lot about it. We are the minority now. Non-theists shove there message down our throats on a daily basis and we still forgive and say thats great, we think you are nuts for not. Just by your comments i’m going to say you don’t have all your pubic hairs yet.

 Lol, I don’t need ‘forgiveness’ from an imaginary, ego-maniacal, genocidal, mass murdering tyrant!

How come you theists always expect the non-theists just to shut up and smile why you guys spout nonsense and are really the ones sending this country into the crapper!

While there’s a time and place for ‘kind and respectful’,  there is also the time to stop playing nice and sugar coating crap to protect someone’s fragile but distorted view of the world.  This is especially true when that distorted view harms other people and society as a whole.

 He does it all the time.  In fact, he’s preventing me from getting shot up right now.  It’s just that these non-events don’t make the news 😉

“Where are we shoving it down your throats, explain?”

Uhm, read on on the blog or elsewhere, there are plenty of stories of fundies trying to impose their beliefs to everyone. You’re either blind or blinded to not see such things.

“Why not ignore it?”

Stupid people make me sad. Seriously, in many places just to state that you’re an atheist will bring contempt and/or violence.

“the Supreme court has stopped theists from doing that remember?”

Yeah, which brings us to Rick Santfrothum, Romney & co.

“We are the minority now.”

And now you don’t just look like an idiot, you prove that you’re one.

“Non-theists shove there message down our throats on a daily basis and we still forgive and say thats great”

Uh, i’d very like to see that “forgiveness of yours, does it come in “you’re all going to hell” package?

“we think you are nuts for not”

And we think you’re nuts to believe in the nonsense written in your fairy tale books.

“Just by your comments i’m going to say you don’t have all your pubic hairs yet”

Oh a personnal attack, it just transpires maturity, knowledge and experience. Coming from someone who doesn’t know the difference between “their” and “there” while writing in his native language, i take that as a compliment.

Looks more like a zombie with a conch shell on its back.

Looks like the tail of a whale to me, maybe it’s the spirit of the Great Fail Whale 😮

Hemant, It’s a little disappointing how much you seem to be using this tragedy to score petty “religion is stupid” points.

I must say i like the asphalt joke.  But anyway:

I be more likely to just ignore them if they weren’t  intertwined in politics.  This results in having a possible effect on me or others who don’t believe in your particular religion.  Much more than my non-belief would have on you or anyone else.

Wow people, she took a picture on a cell phone and it made headlines… I happen to know Crystal, and she didn’t ask for all of the attention brought on by the media. Anyone can look at the picture, and form an opinion. Whether you be a believer or not, you have the right to believe how you may, and see what you see in the photo. The fact is that I am a Denver, Colorado native, and dozens of people were injured with 12 dead. You all focus on the “arguement”, and forget about what is truely important. Of course people (Believers & Non-Believers) would like to find a positive moment in all of the chaos that happened. So let it be just that, and stop the bs arguements. I’m curious if any of you even remember how this conversation started…

No–it’s a shark AND a whale!  The shark has the branch thing for its mouth, and the whale is sticking it’s tail up in the air!  Miwacle!  It’s a Miwacle! OMGOMGOMGOMG

Looks more like a deformed peacock to me.

I once saw a skull in the clouds. And it was pretty unambiguous, too. Nothing untoward happened to me, though, or anybody I know. I’m sure somebody somewhere died, but they probably didn’t see the skull like I did. *shrug*

 Wow, in this image that dog’s butt really DOES look like a person.

 Who cares about all those dead birds, turtles, and whales? That little kid hated animals!

“Your “God” is simply a projection of your ideal father figure;”

Xtians must be really fond of abusive parenting.

You are the minority? Maybe if you count global population, but here in the U.S. you are 76 fucking percent of the entire population!

Don’t give us that “poor ol’ persecuted me” bullshit. It won’t work.

Tolerance does NOT mean “Shut up and let her babble on about crap she sees in her mind without daring to have a response of your own.” It means “Let her do so without infringing upon her rights by attempting to silence her.”

Are we attempting to silence anybody? No. Therefore, we are tolerant. We are simply expressing our freedom of speech, same as she.

I’m making the leap because it’s necessary to be prepared for people like this.  The woman above may not be the one to reach these conclusions, but many people DO.  These were not abstract possibilities that I outlined, they really DO happen.

I’m not suggesting that she (or others) shouldn’t have the freedom to say what she wants.  I think she should.  I agree that we must allow people the freedom to make mistakes.

At the same time, WE ALSO have the freedom to speak BACK to her (or those like her), to give our opposing arguments.  WE ALSO should not have OUR freedoms taken away, just because what we say may upset them.  Certainly not just because we see something mundane when they see something supernatural.

If they think that being an atheist can lead to slaughtering others, they’re welcome to say so.  I’ll discuss it and explain how that’s wrong.  I wouldn’t put the subject off limits, just because it isn’t “respectful”.

If I can happily discuss why a lack of belief in gods doesn’t make me enjoy slaughtering people, then surely a theist can discuss how a cloud might be just a cloud.

This reminds me of 9/11 … Fundies claim they saw the devil’s face in the smoke of one of the towers. 

 Lots of us have come to realize that there’s no point in arguing with idiots like you.  It’s just a waste of time!

Also, we’re not ‘hiding’ here and that has to be one of the stupidest comments you’ve made here.  Though you’ve made so many it’s really become difficult to rank them except in degrees of stupidity.

You’re a troll and not a particularly good one at that.

 and definitely not doing a very good job at it!

If the purpose is to get fed, then I’d have to disagree on the last.

That’s something I thought too – people who can see something with their eyes, show you a picture of it, this is basically all they need to prove it to themselves or anyone else. It’s not just a feeling they put together, or a story they can tell but no one believes. I’ve seen a lot of contributions to the “debate” on whether god exists in the “yes” column from personal anecdotes and stuff that wasn’t recorded. Not very credible and they know it, but they still believe it, they just can’t bring the proof we’re asking of them. On UF, we had a guy that claimed a pickup truck levitated to avoid hitting abortion protesters, as normally when we try to persecute the menacing pro-lifers, we mow them down with heavy-duty vehicles instead of calling the police. It was totally “yeah, right.”

This angel in the cloud is very hard to see, this is harder to see than any other grilled cheese, pancake, rust stain, tree bark, condiment lid, or dog butt where Jesus and/or Mary has previously showed up. What’s striking mostly is that when someone senses the merest indication of the shape of a face or person, it’s their holy person, not Billy Joel or Eddie Murphy or their Aunt Sue… and clouds are famous for looking like a lot of different stuff so much that people lie on the grass and point at clouds that look like stuff.

True, but this article seems to be drawing in a few non-regulars who want to make the “you’re all so mean for trying to destroy comforting delusions” argument that it seemed prudent to address some of the even more ridiculous ones that Sfugly keeps making.

It harms society to have members that believe in angels.

Those type of comments make me ill!  I don’t understand how most people can’t see that it implies that he’s special and the other people somehow deserved to die.

 Ultimately it’s NOT harmless.  It’s the same kind of delusion that had people seeing a cross in a structural support beam that ‘survived’ the destruction of the towers.  Never mind that all building are MADE from thousands of these things.  No, they saw at as some divine sign and started insisting that everyone pay respect to it and include it as a religious symbol in a public memorial. 

When I was a kid, we saw as a family (a secular family), an “apparition” on the storm door one Christmas morning. Someone had opened the back door to see an imprint on the storm door made of frost, because IIRC, Christmas had fallen on a Sunday that year and we got the paper delivered. It had a shape as tall as a person, formless as a robe, and had a head with a halo around it. Looked like it could have been Mary, but it was because of the wreath on the door. Condensation – look it up! It happened to be there nearly every day while the wreath was up (being Christmastime and winter temperatures), and probably distorted and disappeared as the sun came up by the time we left for school, for example, it was just because it was Christmas we’re up so early, and Sunday that the paper was delivered that anyone opened the door.

Seconded. 

Maybe Jebus really loked like a dog’s butt, or toast, or a potato chip… unfortunately we’ll never know.

I think the same people who are “dealing with this tragedy” would be furious if another group put up Islamic symbols on behalf of the deceased.

It’s more ugly for someone to put up a ‘memorial’ of crosses to the victims and then get in a snit when others point out that the victims and their families may find it offensive to be represented by a cross.  So, some of us ARE thinking about the families.  If I was a victim of a tragedy like this and someone put up a cross to represent me I know my husband would be outraged at that action because he knows I find a cross to be a NASTY symbol of a NASTY religion.  Why should strangers be able to do that to him in the name of THEIR religion??  Religious people need to be told that what they are doing in the name the victims and the tragedy is NOT ok with everyone.  WE need to point out that their religious privilege can be hurtful to some people and no one should be presuming to speak for the victims and their families!

What’s even more ugly is the fact that religious people seem to think they have the only voices that are allowed to be heard. 

There is no “religion is stupid” fight going on here.  There are many of us pointing out that many of the things done in the name of religion are FAR from benign and often harmful and dangerous.

 Why don’t atheist/agnostics/skeptics go public with their beliefs?

“It’s comments like this C Peterson and the 11 others who liked it that
would get you all an ass whooping(this is not how I solve things) if you
were to be anywhere near a bunch of theists!!”

I rest my case. When atheists/agnostics/skeptics are no longer ostracized or threatened by friends, family and strangers, then it will be safe to go public. By the way, Hemant Mehta (the main blogger of the Friendly Atheist) is public. He uses his real name, and people even know where he works. You can shut the fuck up now.

 I think it’s awesome that the original comment has over 40 likes now.

So if it was an angel would this be god sending someone in his place to kind of say “Whoops, my bad. Wasn’t paying attention that day.” Oh, and his emissary had to only appear in a photo, not to anything else.

Been there.  It gets tiresome.  Probably 95% of arguments fall into:

Psalm 14:1 (the fool hath said…) or some other bible verse

Name calling

Pascal’s wager

God->morality

genocidal atheist dictators (the smart ones at least leave out Hitler)

The founding fathers really meant freedom OF not freedom FROM

You’re a hypocrite for using money

Atheism is a religion

God of the gaps

And… no, I think that about covers it.

This country, if it’s going in the crapper, is because people like to hide their heads in the sand, pray to an imaginary god, and believe in fairy tales instead of reality. Tolerance for nonsense, tolerance in good times, tolerance in bad times, all you ever do is whine for tolerance. You don’t have any, you just want all of it. You have no evidence that it’s true, you know, the PC shoe is on the other foot. Christians are so sensitive when someone insults you, I don’t know why. So easily sensitive, afraid of alternate views, just so fragile and weak, you insult everyone’s intelligence, you are just a diarrhea of a human being, your shit ain’t solid.

Your god hasn’t showed up to do anything! Is he in the shooter acting out a mysterious plan, or is he in the cloud looking like a penis-shaped angel? Is he for the survivors or the dead or both? How do numbers happen? Everything is so hard to deal with!!!! We have to shut up and pray and respect and tolerance and ur so angryyyyyy, u hafta troll atheist blogssssss nonsensically being such an asshole demanding that everyone stop saying anything you don’t approve of. Haven’t given a good reason yet, or shown anyone here any respect. Your excuse of a god dropped the ball, in your own metaphor, and we have to tolerate people who make shitty excuses for god, get meaning from god, and use god as a shield against rational thought or discussion. You’re so particular what time and in what way anyone can say or breathe any word against god. What are you afraid of standing too close when lightning strikes me? Ha ha ha hahahahahaha! Not when you could go to a movie and just get blazed down by a madman who doesn’t discriminate between god’s chosen or not chosen.

You just shut that flap you call a lower jaw, you have no reason to be here, your efforts to condemn people for not respecting the dead have been lost. You are behaving like a fool, you are smearing your diarrhea thoughts all over this god and all the dead by being here worse than any atheist could ever try to do. You thought you were better than us, but your behavior suggests you have no method, such as prayer, to reflect on your actions and choose to be a better person. It’s my totally favorite thing for Christians to claim preference by their lord no matter what they do, while good people who aren’t believers don’t count. Fuck you, we all count. You’re the odd one here, you have added nothing to the discussion except entertainment. If this country is going in the crapper, it’s because frail religions are represented by drooling shitheads like you. The victims of the Aurora shooting aren’t counting on you to deliver them the respect they deserve.

tl;dr – FAIL.

So, let me get this straight.   Pointing out that hallucinations are not real is intolerably rude and anyone who does it is a horrible person.  Threatening physical violence against atheists, on the other hand, is perfectly fine and not the least bit rude. 

Sfugly, either you’re a sociopathic moron or you’re pretending to be one for your own sick amusement. 

 It’s a kind of weird “angel worship.” Angels are merely messengers in the Bible, but for some reason a lot of modern Christianity has a ton of mythology based on angels (as guardians and the like). Just look at the success of Precious Moments.

 Is sfugly functionally illiterate or just a lying sack of shit?  Obviously both. 

Tyrannosaurus Rex, A Chicken Attacking Santa (or someone carrying a sack) above giant magnet,  Tiny Surfer on Big Wave, Koala on Branch, Alligator with Porpoise (not Dolphin) on snout, Small Headed Boxer, Horse (with shadow)… no sign of any angels.

The internet tough-guy routine doesn’t reflect well on anyone. Do your theist friends like being represented this way?

You worship an imperfect being? What are the faults of your god?

A nose and cheeks poking down through the cloudline.

If your child is constantly corrected by their sibling, they may have trouble developing habits to correct themselves. There is utility in restricting one from correcting the other unnecessarily.

The angel-watchers from Facebook are in a completely different situation. They will not police their own delusions. They will not develop healthy emotional responses to death.  They or those they speak to will not stop at comforting themselves.

Telling a fairy tale to make yourself feel better is irresponsible when others overhear.

What if I say I know a magical spell that protects from bullets. I might open a magical shield store in Denver tomorrow.

Would you be comfortable with a scam like that in your city?

I’m not saying the photographer is a scam artist. Whether she wants to or not, though, she’s working for some.

 Start a betting pool. Angels are assholes.

 Now you presume to speak for the Almighty? What gives you the right? What makes you so special?

 You seem obsessed with the movie American Pie. I suggest you give it up, it wasn’t that good a movie.

Hmm, I don’t really get the anger over this one. I do get the anger over all the idiots who are blaming atheists or lack of faith or whatever for causing the shooting. But the woman in the article didn’t even say anything about how “this is a sign that Jesus is watching us!” She just said that her friend pointed out the angel in the clouds and then she saw it too. I also see it. I’ve seen all kinds of things in clouds — it’s not a hallucination, it’s the tendency of the human brain to try to make things into patterns. Would the folks here be getting all bent out of shape if someone saw a cloud shaped like a whale over Seaworld? 

I did not read any of the comments on the article, so I guess maybe that’s what people are angry over. I can certainly imagine there are lots of silly references to it being a sign or a real angel or whatever. But I don’t think it’s fair to say ” Fuller is desperate to find any sort of sign of something positive in the wake of the disaster. I’m sure it comforts her.”

Didn’t anyone else here ever ever lie on the grass and point out all the cool stuff in the clouds?

Was it only me who saw a sunset instead of clouds?
I mean, there are clouds but they look purple-ish which makes me see a nice sunset…

I’m back!!  Lets see I don’t look like an idiot I’ve proved I’m one, Sky fairy? More Stupid? Flipflopped Zombie? You sound like a Rhodes Scholar to me!! Need I say more?

You are correct 76%, yet we can’t have religious freedom because you all get on your wahmbulance and file lawsuits if we do. Furnish me with a copy of the constitution where the phrase “seperation of church and state” exists. You won’t find it anywhere. If you can then your arguments will have merit!! We have to many pussy judges who are afraid to lose their(did I spell it right Glasofruix?) jobs if they rule as they should.

Ass licking worship sessions? Again oh mature one, you are a Rhodes Scholar!!

“Religious freedom”. You keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You do not have the “freedom” to co-op the government or any publicly-owned and funded property and buildings for your own religious desires.

You do not have the freedom to post prayers in public schools. You do not have the right to open public government meetings with religious prayers.

Also, stop being so literal with the phrase “separation of church and state”. It’s been explained time and time again. The phrase “checks and balances” isn’t in the Constitution, yet the spirit of the phrase, the intent behind it, is clearly indicated.

By preventing Congress, and by extension all government, from making any laws the respect any religious belief or practice, then we have established a wall of separation between church and state. Read any of the founding fathers’ writings, particularly Thomas Jefferson’s Letter to the Danbury Baptists:

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.

It’s clear by this, and by many other writings, that there should be a separation between church and state in order for religion to remain a personal and free matter of conscience. And most of the higher courts agree with that interpretation, as it has been upheld time and time again that religion should not interfere with religion, and vice versa.

Besides, isn’t secularism fair for all? You are free to pray to yourselves in public schools, even have after-school prayer meetings — the school simply cannot endorse it officially. You can believe what you want — you cannot co-opt the government to endorse your beliefs, thus lending appearance that we have an official state religion, which is expressly forbidden.

You complain that we bring up lawsuits… yet time and time again our side wins them. Yeah, and it’s not because of some conspiracy on the part of judges.

Yep, sfugly’s a brain-dead coward and a pathological liar. Standard for religious apologists, dumber than a rock andbreathtakingly arrogant.

Please finish that Thomas Jefferson letter. Google the real Thomas Jefferson Argument. If you read it all, you would have noticed the part where it says ” the only time government will intervene in the name of religion is when one is ill towards thy neighbor” and provided several examples of it. just like the leftist media printing only what you want people to believe.                                                              You all better pray Mr. Romney doesn’t get in, because he like the other 76% in the country believe just as the Supreme Court did in the Trinity Decision in 1892 declaring “We Are A Christian Nation”

Nothing rational about The Unfriendly Atheist website, just predetermined bias about anything theistic.

And we still allow them to practice their beliefs in this country, imagine that!!

Well when you flat-out lie (like the text of the letter to the Danbury Baptists), then what else can we conclude?

We’re a female nation by population.  Female planet even.

Your doggedly and overly obtuse ramblings compel me to rethink my opposition to euthanasia!

I apologize Mr. Rich, I didn’t realise propper grammer impleyes weather or not I know what I’m talking about.

This is the phrase you’re probably talking about:

“…that the legitimate power of civil government extends no further than to punish the man who works ill to his neighbor.”

What about that lends credibility to the claim that we’re a Christian nation? All that’s saying is that if one person harms another, the government can step in. Nothing to do with religion.Again, please stop being completely dishonest in your attempts at arguments.

Not a tough guy sir, just mocking theism the way you all do creates that mob mentality in some people on both sides of the fence. I’m sure you were all represented well by Jeffery Dahmer and the Aurora shooter, who doesn’t believe in a higher power.

Well said.

Mocking and expressing are different sir.

Now Glasofruix, Jay refuses to use proper grammer.

You have not offered anyone any reason to think this “higber power” is anything more than a figment of your diseased imagination. All you are capable of doing is babbling incoherent nonsense and making laughably stupid threats. Show us this “higer power” you speak of and MAYBE you’ll be worthy of a response other than ridicule and derision. Of course, you won’t even try, you’ll just whine like a spoiled child and fantasize about watching your imaginary friend burn me alive, because you’re just a sociopathic moron and you know you’re full of shit.

Better a scholar than an uneducated moron like you!  Also, there is no god.

 Tell the truth for once in your life.  You never had any opposition to euthanasia, you’ve just been waiting for the voices in your head to tell you it’s time for you to start slaughtering infidels.  You’re just another death cultist piece of shit.

Then as sfugly suggested take it public or do you fear getting hit with a reality check?

Do you have children? If so will you take part in christmas activities with them? Activities that worship a deity will make you a hypocrite. Of course, if you tell them from the get go no higher power exists instead of letting them figure it out for themselves, you would just be the asshole you are.

But, you do need forgiviness?

….that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, &  not opinions. Is that not an oxymoron as far as your “spirit of the phrase” comment goes?

Not at all the intent of our founding fathers. As sfugley has said google wall builders.com and search the real thomas jefferson argument. What will come up is the seperation of church and state. Read the whole article,and it will be plain as day the phrase and the intent.

Glasofruix is a dna defect.

WE have a bias??  Wow, from someone who believes crap from a book written in the bronze age and sees fake critters in clouds and believes they’re real, that’s fraking hilarious. 

How fun that I’m starting to collect my own following of crazy, nutjobs on here.  Must be doing something right if I’ve rankled you THAT much.

Also, there is no god (OR angels…but there ARE angles!).

If a thief steals from someone, which would be the correct action?

Apologize and attempt to compensate the victim, or ask God forgiveness?

Atheists will without a doubt say the former.

Theists may say ‘both’ but will claim that failing the latter is a ‘sin’.

 Yet another psychotic death cultist liar resorting to sockpuppetry when no one else on the planet is stupid enough to agree with its idiocy. 

I followed up on sfuglys’ comment and the article says exactly what he says it did.

Again your faction was well represented by the non-theist who committed this pre-meditated act. How is your faction going to deliver the respect they deserve?
