BTH Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 For Fanpuck since he dislikes talk of politics in the Jets logo thread. I'm not necessarily looking to start a specific conversation with this thread. It is simply a place to start a conversation that would be too controversial in another section due to its political, philosophical, religious, or generally provocative nature. Also a place (maybe) to move off-topic thread into. This is not a place to post random offensive comments*. *Unless they are funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalerexpert86 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 So who else is an Atheist? I love philosoraptor too!!! This doesn't mean I don't respect people who do believe in God or follow the Bible. It's just not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalerexpert86 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I find myself as I get older and more financially stable, that my political views are shifting further right. I'm already done school, I don't care if they freeze tuition rates now. Even though I have a little girl who will be going to school someday anyways. I used to be a far left thinking kind of person, now I am finding myself closer and closer to the middle. I'm not sure if it will keep going. But I voted for the Liberals for the first time in my life yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahBud Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The teachings of Joseph Campbell really helped open my eyes to the power of myth in all societies. I think George Carlin also had a healthy take on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTH Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 So who else is an Atheist? I don't think atheism is controversial. That being said, I am not only an atheist but staunchly anti-religion, which obviously is controversial. A fan of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer, Dan Dennett, James Randi, etc. Oh, George Carlin and (usually) Bill Maher too, of course. lol But I prefer Carlin's talk about fascism and fascist use of language.

Natural Mystic Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm surprised to see Joseph Campbell and George Carlin mentioned here. Personally Bill Hicks does comedy for me. Other than Dave Chappelle I don't really enjoy many other comics. Since this is the controversy thread, atheism and anarchy suck! And so does religion and politics, and so does mainstream media Melodic Power metal rules More on awesome music in the music thread later...

You can't just come on the controversial thread and state things like that without giving reasons! How can we argue your points and enter into a civil debate when your statements are so simplistic and grade 3? ;-) Explain how or why they suck, and we can go from there!

That has nothing to do with the Mac. That's got to do with the death and destruction of my real life over the last few years! You leave the Macs out of this. Make fun of my real life.

Colin Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ok uh Comic-Con sucks and is for losers Wait, have you gone lately? Every year, baby. Gets sweeter all the time. This past year I was walking around the floor with my boy and he was a little tired, so was yawning and such. Marina Sirtis looked at him, made an 'oh cute baby' face, and then a sad face, called us over, and offered Kieran candy. Then she made him smile and chatted with us for a while. Yes, that's right, Deanna Troi picked MY boy out of a crowd and gave him candy. And I don't care HOW that sounds. LOL She was awesome.
