why do you even care anon?

I'm a Christian and I don't guzzle it down in people's throats. He's an idiot.

Besides, that guy is a douchebag. He thinks of himself very highly thanks to his legion of fangirls.

>>28588189
why do you even care anon?

why the fuck do you go to cons and sword fights? Faggot.

>>28588206
I hate christians when will you grow up pansy?

Just dropping in to say Vic is a faggot.

So if I understand correctly, you're insecure about your beliefs and because of that you attack the beliefs of another.

Sky is blue, grass is green, Vic's a douchebag, bears shit in the woods.

Come on, guys. At least TRY and be original.

>>28588150
Why the hell do you care? Does he offend your religion (atheism)? Was Newton somehow not one of the most brilliant minds in the history of the planet because he believed in the Christian God?

I went to see him at Animazement a couple years ago. He recorded himself reading bible stories and handed them out for free, and had an extra disk for two dollars.

I have no problem with him being Christian, but cons are about animu, not Jesus.

>>28588150
>one problem though...HE IS A FUCKING DOUCHEBAG! Why does he have to be such a damn ass, he doesn't seem like the type! He would be such a cool guy if he wasn't, he can't seem to go 3 sentences without saying things that make him a self involved prick.
Fixed since you missed the more important reasons.
Now get back to /cgl/.

trolls trolling trolls
can we just not even bring religion into /a/ please

>>28588262

Marry me.

He said he was raised as into a religious life.

fat yaoi fangirl and/or christfag detected

either way, just remember: down the road, not across the street.

Funny thing, trying to shove religion down people's throats never works, because the person just gets a really bad impression of it that way. I mean, you can influence a child more easily, but everyone has a logical brain. I mean I was like 13 when I stopped going to youth related 'Christian' things, and like 15 when I stopped going to Church entirely.

I've yet to be shown otherwise that anyone who calls themselves a 'Christian' is ridiculously arrogant and tries to alienate and isolate 'non-Christians' and anyone who doesn't behave like a crazy 'Jesus!!!!' type cultist.

Being brought up in a Christian family turned me into a 100% atheist. Same for my older brother too, and even my sister who is 16 now I can tell is going to Church less and less, and will reject it soon enough.

My parents are complete bigots and think poor people deserve to be poor and hate on homosexuals or anyone who implies that the world is millions of years old.

When I saw him at a con he didn't bring up anything Christian related, besides his joke about calling him Father Mignogna. He's a pretty cool guy.

>>28588380
What's so bad about that? DId he force you to take one at gun point?

>>28588380
So you expect a person, who literally believes that the creator of the universe commanded him to go out and tell people how to be saved from eternal torment, to hold his tongue because it's not the "proper forum"?

I don't understand secularists. I'm not Muslim, but if some terrorist was handing out tracks to me at the movie theater, I wouldn't be all like "man, that's so inappropriate of him to be doing that here."

religiousfags are gonna proselytize; get over it

>>28588472
High school fag detected. I'll bet you have all the answers.

And he voices Ed? That's slightly ironic.

>I've yet to be shown otherwise that anyone who calls themselves a 'Christian' is ridiculously arrogant and tries to alienate and isolate 'non-Christians' and anyone who doesn't behave like a crazy 'Jesus!!!!' type cultist.
You're missing a 'not' somewhere.

>>28588529
I'm 21, finished high school years ago. And I don't have 'all the answers', I just have the answers which make sense to me, and I'm sorry some guy who died on the cross and then resurrected doesn't seem logical to me, I don't buy it.

>>28588235

I respect Christians and athiests as long as they aren't "HURR DURR! I IZ MATURE BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD! LOOK AT ME REBELLING, MOMMY AND DADDY!" or forcing their beliefs down other peoples' fucking throats.

>>28588605
My mistake. You just ACT like some 14 year old wannabe philosopher who thinks reading Dawkins makes him DEEP.

>>28588624
Why are you putting atheism and Christianity on the same level? Atheism isn't a religion, it's just an acceptance of what can be currently scientifically proven. Anyone who thinks logically is an atheism. I'd say religious people are just scared of death and the big bad world, and can't hack it.

>>28588605
So an object of infinite energy which suddenly violently expanded into a finite space and still expanding makes more sense than an omnipotent conscious which kind of does the same.

Makes perfect sense

>>28588649

>dawkins

I cannot take him seriously ever since that thread in /tg/. It was about what you would do if you had the cupboard from "Indian in the Cupboard." Someone said that he would put a Dawkins figure into it, and speak to the tiny living Dawkins figure while dressed in a toga and wearing a fake beard.

>>28588343
>>28588343

I'm saying he would be cooler if he wasn't such a bible thumping christian, Yes I do believe being christian holds people back, and not just that person, but everyone around them.

>>28588677
Are you aware of the militant teen atheists out there?

'Can god create a rock that he cannot lift?'

'Would you torture your kid in a basement?'

Vic's problem isn't that he's a Christian.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that.

It's that he's a terrible hypocrite. Practice what you preach, Vic.

>>28588605
>I just have the answers which make sense to me
Your gut doesn't reveal truth, bro.

>>28588677
>Atheism isn't a religion
Yes, it is. Go to reddit if you don't believe me.

>Anyone who thinks logically is an atheism
So all the greatest scientists in history weren't logical? I'll see your Einstein and raise you Newton, Maxwell, Tesla, Mendelev, Galileo, and everyone else.

>I'd say religious people are just scared of death and the big bad world, and can't hack it.
Too bad most religious people are stronger, wiser, and more mentally stable than you. Or was MLK weak minded? But don't worry bro, you got Stalin, and he was pretty brave, I guess.

>>28588686
No, I'm just saying that we can only really know about material phenomenon, such as the grass under our feet or clouds in the sky, and as science advances our understanding of such material phenomenon will advance too.

Spiritual stuff, such as 'God', or an afterlife, is by definition a mystery, ie it can never be scientifically proven or understood, that's the point of it.

I'm just saying that I prefer things that can be proven, as opposed to things that can't.

>>28588705
Too bad you can't actually show any empirical evidence of that. The smartest people in history were Christians.

Guys let's talk about why we hate women and why black people have statistically lower IQs while we're at it.

Let's see if we can get Lord athens in here!

>>28588686
>Makes perfect sense
No it doesn't make "Perfect sense" there is no such thing as perfect, It just has alot more evidence supporting it then god, And there is as much evidence supporting god as a flying moose in space.

>Imageboard

>>28588769
False strength isn't really strength, it's just ignorance. I'm sure the Christian crusaders who slaughtered innocent people were pretty psychological self-assured in their belief, the same for Muslims blowing themselves up.

Atheism is a hard reality, true, anyone who can understand it and not feel a bit depressed is a strong person. But reality isn't a fantasy world like religious belief is.

ie, truth>ignorance and self-delusion

>>28588831
No, it doesn't. The evidence for the Big Bang is all circumstantial. And, depending on how you define God, there is mathematical support for his existence (or at least the existence of greater dimensions).

Vic looks pretty good for almost being 50.

And I'm a little amazed he has a big enough fanbase to fly him to any con he wants in case he wasn't invited.

>>28588869
Fun fact: Some Afrocentrists claim that blacks used to be able to use the power of their minds to fly and that whites took this away from them. I'm not even joking here, this is the level of historical 'scholarship' that you are dealing with.

We beez gypshun an' sheet after all.

>>28588845
Idiots will produce idiotic culture, this is simple ipso facto logic. You can't expect people with mental faculties of their level to produce a Bach Fugue or a Beethoven Symphony.

>>28588677

Atheism is a religion. The acceptance of what can be scientifically proven is common sense. Also, since many religious texts, specifically Christian, have older and more numerous manuscripts that fall closer to the date of the supposed events than the writing that is considered history by the world, the events in the Bible are statistically more likely to have happened than current historical fact. The earliest complete manuscript of Tacitus' "Annals of Rome" dates to 850 C.E. That is about 740 years after the latest events recorded in it, and there are 2 surviving manuscripts that are exact replicas of each other. The earliest complete manuscript of the New Testament dates back to 280 years after the events in it. There are 5,664 surviving complete manuscripts today.

Either way, I don't care what people believe as long as they don't drag me into it.

>>28588929
They were rarely as openly violent though. Rap culture is about violence, rap culture presupposes the reason for the black community's problems is whites. Black people by and large think that the reason they are poor is because an invisible white entity has made them poor and is keeping them poor. This invisible, omnipotent entity plays a role in every aspect of their daily lives for downtrodden blacks.

Take a look at your own Senate's voting records. The black senators all vote along racial lines, it's only white liberals who believe in a "lets all join hands and be happy" society.

>>28588845
>I'm sure the atheist Communists who slaughtered innocent people and burned down churches were pretty psychological self-assured in their belief
this is true

>False strength isn't really strength
You claim to come at me with logic, but I'll I see is opinions. The sad part isn't how pathetic this makes you look, it's that you don't even realize you're doing it.

>>28588945
I believe in Polybius' theory of stable mixed Government. I've never believed in complete freedom or democracy. Leaders should be allowed to lie for the public good.

Remember Aristotle's words to the Athenians during the Lamian uprising when they wanted to put him on trial:

"I won't allow you to sin against philosophy twice."

>>28588472

Omg a tragic past... now this thread is /a/ related. Maybe we can flashback to this post 70 times before this thread 404's.

>>28588150
He's also a complete condescending douchebag. Seriously, that guy is full of himself.

Dammit /a/. Stop getting trolled by Christians. Everyone in this thread is the reason why we can't have nice things.
