In people we trust, God can take care of herself
Republicans are bragging about how many times God was mentioned at their convention. Who gives a crap? I certainly don't. They pay lip service to God and Jesus and take their names in vain and make wars in their names and totally ignore the teachings of Christ and little things like love thy neighbor and help the poor mean nothing to them.
God doesn't belong at a political convention, she belongs in church. You can't take God out of government when she was never there in the first place. You can't force God into public schools under the guise of creationism, cause God was never there in the first place.
If someone wants to believe in a God, I don't care, I'm not a believer, but I believe in separation of church and state. Complete, total separation. I don't look down my nose at anyone because of their religion, but we don't need to cram God into every corner of our lives, she is already well represented in all her glorious invisibility.
We're out here on our own, and no God or son of God is coming to our rescue, God won't pick sides anyway, the republicans can have their God, they don't really believe in her anyway, they just mention her to get the votes.
Mock all you wish,eternity is a long time.

3. Their God is a masculine God
And this translates to men are above women, which is utter bullshit
Theological brillance at its best.

4. not only is their god masculine, he is, as I love to point out to the fundies around here (and

Nice,tolerant group.
If this had been about allah it would be all outrage though.

The fact he trusts in people means he is always going to be disappointed.

The phalloscraping primitive must've had some bad drugs this morning.
Pharmaceuticals are scrupulously "quality checked," but no system's perfect, and a few bad pills get through now-and-then.
Minuscule random chance must've caught up with MoPaul this morning.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn`t he the one that used to have to "disappear" for extended periods of time which involved electrodes attached to various parts of his cranium?

Yep, that's him.

But claiming God is feminine doesn't translate to women are above men? :hammer:

The primitives are discussing something utterly irrelevant.....and stupid.
It's just a matter of semantics; finite human language is not capable of describing an Infinite Being.
"He, Him, His," for God is just short-hand, the best we can do when attempting to describe Someone Who transcends human sexual gender.
The primitives are just looking for every little excuse, no matter how trite, stupid, or insipid, to get around acknowledging God.

What a pleasant neighbor DUmmy niyad must be!

Don't think I've ever heard that little detail (not that it surprises me), when did the DUmbass admit he was a lunatic?

Too bad the power can't be turned up a few hundred thousand volts. :zap:

As MoPaul on the old DU, during the Bush presidency, he admitted to it all the time, his need for constant psychiatric and pharmaceutical help.
The phalloscraping primitive's a sad case; born about 1950 (give or take a year either way) down in Missouri, he was one of the last victims of childhood polio, just before the vaccine was invented.
For some reason, he contrived the notion that spewing bitterness, anger, and Hate would ameliorate his condition, ease it a bit. The same sort of attitude the late Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive had, and we all know how well that worked for the Redstone primitive.
Besides admitting to both his physical and psychiatric conditions, MoPaul used to play in some band, and one time posted a photograph of himself, taken at an angle that hid his face but clearly showed he possesses a backside bigger than a barn-door.
Apparently about six (? not sure) years ago, he got into a fight, or got into some other sort of trouble, with someone in a bar who recognized him as MoPaul of Skins's island, and beat him up. He disappeared from Skins's island after that, and when he came back, he'd dropped "MoPaul," replacing it with his current silly primitive screen-name.

:ohmy: :-)
I had forgotten about that.

Something else he (kinda) had in common with the bird beater. Getting one's ass kicked in a bar for being a liberal retard should be a clue as to how not to live your life. Alas, we don't call them DUmmies for no good reason...

So he was spewing the same shit in a bar? :rotf: no wonder someone beat him up

MoPaul is natures way of saying "Don't do drugs".
Anyway since NoPaul seems to hate god so much it doesn't surprise me in the least that he has the least amount of understanding about who and what GOD is about. GOD is everywhere and needs to be there. Your silly Dem Convention is proof that HE does. There is not one bit of love or tolerance for their fellow man coming out of there and if they think that forcing others to give money to those that refuse to work or help themselves, then he and all of them are beyond help.

Look, Raptor, you get the government out of the business of telling churches what can and cannot be said on their private property, make sure it can't tell religious-based employers who to hire or what they must cover for healthcare, make sure it can't tell religious-based adoption agencies who they must accept as adoptive parents, get it out of education so all religious students and teachers have equal rights with atheists, and get it out of the marriage business all together; then we'll be glad to allow the Democratic party to run on its typical God-less platform. After all, a party with their radically unChristian platform only adds HIS name to kiss up to those Dems that are still blinded by media lies.

I don't think people like the Godless DUmmies are true atheists in the general sense.
Its not disbelief. If it was, they would be cool with everyone. You believe, I don't. It's cool.
No. they suffer from rebellion. they believe but are rebelling against God. They go out of their way to be offensive. They want to insult and belittle believers. They are rebelling against everything God stands for, and this is how it comes out.
I've talked to guys like this before. They have made elaborate plans for their defense if they stand before God...they think they can argue and win. The very concept of hell makes them furious, and then they get mad that a killer can repent and escape judgement. So they rebel against forgiveness too.
Atheists on this board are not like that. They embrace diversity, I am allowed to be different. The DUmmies in question are threatened by a believer's faith. They live in fear of a fantasy theocracy that just around the corner.
It is sad. But DUers seem to prefer to wallow in their own bitter, hateful juices when they never needed to.
