Comments on: Chill Out, Faith Heads http://evolutionspace.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/chill-out-faith-heads/ news and blabbering on evolution, atheism and religious-fundamentalism Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:27:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: GeorgeRic http://evolutionspace.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/chill-out-faith-heads/#comment-1641 GeorgeRic Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:54:56 +0000 http://evolutionspace.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/chill-out-faith-heads/#comment-1641 Hey, that inter-religious battle will shortly come to an end when the new ideas presented in 'Techie Worlds' become known. It pleases me to let open-minded people know about new ways of pondering about the age-old questions. With the existence of 'Techie Worlds' (available at amazon.com) believers in Christianity can hold their views utilizing sound logic, clear thinking and a mechanistic view of worlds. Applying Flatland's concept of contiguous dimensional worlds, Trinity, Resurrection, Judgment and soul are sensible and mechanically viable beliefs. 'Techie Worlds' follows that rule of science by which individual details are tested for their conformity to the overarching hypothesis. Admittedly, agnostics may choose not to follow such obvious and sensible logic, but no longer can they denigrate believers for fuzzy thinking. Moslems and pagans who read and understand the sound logic of the Flatland concept must adopt the reasonable Trinitarian view. 'Techie Worlds' will make them abandon the ways of terror an adopt the way of love. Techie Worlds is not standard preacher-prattle. Only by reading it can you open your mind to its valid way of understanding Christianity.GeorgeRic Hey, that inter-religious battle will shortly come to an end when the new ideas presented in ‘Techie Worlds’ become known.

It’s their problem." Because only sociopaths think upsetting people for no good reason is normal behavior, and decide that it's okay to do this just because they consider the people in question foolish. Who cares if they get angry? Well, anyone that has things like empathy or concern or compassion for the feelings of others. By your logic, if someone has an irrational phobia of spiders, and you walk by and dump a bunch of spiders on them, and they freak out and have a horrible day because of it, well, that's their problem! Of course, the vast majority of people would consider the actual problem to be that you are a jerk.

Surely it has caused "offense" and extreme inconvenience for the smokers. Sometimes measures that causes offense like banning-smoking is simply a necessity. Hi dorid, the football is actually painted not on the Saudi flag but on the shahada (an Islam symbol). Hi bad, I can think of one counter-example – the ban of smoking.

Silly? Yup. If the Saudi flag had NOT been included, they probably would have griped about that as well. In this case, there probably was no clue for the people who did this that the Afghans would be angry. As far as the news paper with the smokin' Jesus? Ah, send them back a little of their own: <blockquote>Matther 11:19 <i>The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.</i></blockquote> In this case, I'd be willing to bet the paper did it to be contraversial. Yup, it made people angry. I imagine it was supposed to make people think, too. And the more people have to discuss or argue about it, the more they're actually thinking about the silly things they believe and the silly way they act regarding their faith.

Why not? If someone believes that something is bad to, even for a very silly reason, then doing it is going to make them angry,

If the person is wrong, (by your own admission “for a very silly reason”) who cares if they get angry? It’s their problem.
