never argue with a god-botherer

That's the best advice. A waste of time, and there's too many of them on this board for me, so I've wasted enough time already.

And, hey, one of them is a god-botherer and the frickin' Lone Ranger as well (at least that's who he thinks he is when he needs his medication). And who would argue with one of our great national heros?

Nice meeting the rest of you. We'll have a sane world one day in the distant future, when the god-bothering nutballs all die out.

Oh, and the frickin' Lone Ranger as well.

Hi-Hoe, Silver awaaaaay ....

"Sounds like Joe is the one mostly bothered by God!"

Now c'mon BBCHris how can I be bothered with something that don't exist?

I said god-botherer, not god. Let me just explain the idea of the hyphen to ya. When you use it to connect one word to another it alters the meaning, y'know.

So when I say god-botherers bother me - which, as their name implies, is their intention i.e. to bother other innocent people with their crazy idea - that don't mean that god bothers me.

You OK with that little semantic thing now? No, no please don't thank me, I'm here to help! :devil

If it doesn't exist, why are you bothered by it?

Chris, this is the second time round on this one, but knowing me its probably my fault for being a tad unclear.

It's the god-botherers that bother me, not the god.

The people (who do exist) who make claims about the god (that doesn't exist).

Comprendez?

I'm with russky on this.

He hates the constant "you are a lost lamb and I must save you" horseshit that they constantly spew...

I used to despise religious people. I would flame them night and day.

Lately, I have tried to be more accepting of things I cannot change.

Because no matter how logical your argument is, it goes in one ear and out the other, with them...

I know exactly what you mean, 68.

Keep in mind that logic only goes as far as what we know...what we don't know, or can't accept, therefore lies beyond said logic.

Too true, kid. I gotta get away from here soon, the god-botherers are just like boomerangs, you harder you throw 'em away the quicker they come back for more. Totally pointless.

I never mix with 'em in real life. I just don't like seeing 'em have too much say in cyberspace, education and government etc?

D'ya think that Amis guy is right? The past 200 years was just a temporary blip and now we're moving back to religion?

That's scary, man, frickin' scary.
