"I do understand what you are saying and it's truly beautiful..." *BUSTS UP LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Well actually, if you cast off your beliefs and deny Jesus Christ, and become materialistic, you will be miserable and in a lot of pain therefore you will probably bitch out in your horrid condition and insult people to try to make yourself feel better and maybe even try to convince yourself that you are superior to numb your agony. Just a thought...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from rowenwood: All men weren't created equal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He means he's definitely unequal to other men. Personally I don't pay attention to other men so I wouldn't notice how I stack up. I DO notice women though. *whistles at mytwocents*
This guy has about 10000 handles. You have only named some of them. You are the oxygen that feeds his fire. Once I recognise the new version, "he" goes on the ignore list. I have been on this board for almost three years now, and this person has gotten worse and worse over the years. He has at the very least massive brain damage, probably self-inflicted by alchohol abuse. I don't know if you have ever met anyone with Tourretes Syndrome - this guy has the Internet version of that disease. It doesn't have a name yet, but it will one day. nitro
Because they don't have the LORD God in their life. Therefore they have no one to compare themselves to except other men.
Shoe: >But here's the next question then: are arrogant >people attracted to atheism or does atheism >produce arrogance? The thread originally started out questioning the name calling which I have no real answer for. It morphed a bit into the arrogance thing and I certainly DO have some comments regarding that issue... Read Aphie's post below, particular the last two paragraphs. (no offense Aphie, your post just happened to be right next to Shoe's above question and was a perfect example so I used it.) On average theists display MORE arrogance than any group I know. Theists "know" why I act the way I do. Theists "know" what I have accepted and rejected. Theists "know" whether I have been saved or not. Theists "know" what I need to do to be "saved". Theists "know" what is going to happen to me in the end. In the above the theist even goes so far as to tell the agnostic "You know very well that god exists" -- so, theists even "know" what I know or don't know. As dearly departed ART would say. "Hubris".

Well... I didn't exactly say I am an ordained minister. You can still send me your tithes and offerings.
