    Default Which is more irrational? :)

    Found this:

    "Who's more irrational? Somebody who believes in a God they don't see, or a person who is a offended by a God they don't even believe in?"
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Are they offended by a God they don't believe in or pushy people who push their God upon them?

    At this point in America, they are offended by the mere mention or representation of that God they don't believe in. No pushing required.

    Easy peasy. Definitely the latter.

    I don't see the air I breathe, but I've every logical reason for believing it's there to breathe.

    But you can't be offended by something you don't believe exists. If it doesn't exist, it can't have a power to offend you, since 'nothing' is the cause of that offence.

    Logical fallacy; define "they."

    Of course. And logic doesn't prove oxygen.

    If I wear a t-shirt that says 'I believe in God', am I being pushy?

    If 'they' think expressing my believe is being pushy, that's really their problem.

    Can someone be pushy expressing what they believe?

    ^So you agree; some who believe can be pushy?

    The second one to far more people than the first of course.

    Many of you are offended by a god you don't believe in on a daily basis. Enough to make multiple threads about it and regularly bash those who do believe.

    That's because we keep telling you, Obama IS NOT a "God".
