Now I get it-----you think religion is stupid but if someone practices it you are nice enough to allow them do this stupid thing with out telling them that they are doing something stupid. How big of you !Originally Posted by diuretic
No. You misunderstood me, you don't get it at all. Go back and read it again. I clearly made my point. Now your attempt at a comeback is ridiculous because there's no comparison between what I explained to you and the attempt you made to have a go back at me. My logic and yours are completely at odds with one another. At least I can explain myself clearly, you seem to have a problem with that. Your comprehension skills are also apparently deficient. Now stop that whining noise, it had to be said.
I think you're trying to accuse me of contradicting myself by holding two opposing views of the same subject. Is that right? If so you are wrong.
Demonstrably I have a view about religion in general as being based on myth and superstititon, a basis I believe to be irrational, stupid. Now, by all means disagree with me but don't try and be smart with me. I have a view that I won't attack a person for practising a religion even though I believe the practise of religion is irrational. Are you still with me?
Now as for the support the troops thing. That's a common misconception also. Firstly, you need to define what's meant by "support the troops". You probably think it means feeding them into a meat-grinder in a failed mission. That's not supporting the troops, that's pissing on their graves.
Are you keeping a body-count? Does it feel good to "support the troops" by urging them to keep being fed into the meat-grinder? Does it?
Does it make you feel brave that you can shout "I support the troops" as they are blown up and shot?
Do you have a big patriotic sticker on your car that says "Support the Troops"?
Do you think Bush is doing a wonderful job by chanting "stay the course" and "no cut and run" while he feeds men and women in uniform into the meat-grinder of Iraq? Do you?
Do you care that injured troops are coming back to sub-standard health care? Do you care that they are broken in body and spirit and aren't being looked after? If you cared, if you supported the troops you'd get your arse to a VA Hospital and support the troops in a material way.
But I wager you won't. You strike me as being one of the Chickenhawk Chorus.
Wasting their lives is not supporting the troops. Getting them out of that hell-hole with its relentless meat-grinder is supporting the troops. Your problem is your slavish adherence to your party and your leader. That is a psychopathology that I can never have and you're welcome to it.

What's wrong with that? Why does that make me "big?" I mean I know I'm pretty big, well, above average at least (that's what my girlfriend says anyway), but I don't know what religion has to do with it. Geez.
