The first one is a good good site.

Here's one of their "tips":

"Put on five layers of super-baggy clothes, then lock yourself in the closet – along with lots of paper towels for soaking up your urine. While you're there, pray to Christ for guidance – because Jesus hung out with tons of whores, and He never, ever did "it". And why not? So that when He swoops down from heaven in His kickin' white Cadillac Escalade, He'll be able to ID all the sluts and flash-fry them with His laser-beam headlights!"

And the testimonials are great too:

"I joined Sex is for **** after watching girls who put out turn my big brother into a major wuss. By learning to repress my urges, now I can to grow up and be what I always wanted: a prison guard or a priest."

 

[Boltzmann]

I've to agree with RZetlin. Sometimes you've to look twice before seeing that it's a humor site.

 

[Boltzmann]

I didn't mean that this site's purpose is to do so. But I dislike these jokes

Jokes are jokes. If people can even joke about the President, why they can't joke about anything else?

 

[Boltzmann]

I don't see any difference in making jokes about the president or making jokes about god, or whatever. It's all part of our freedom of expression.

Anyway, I don't believe in Jesus, so I don't care about him. I'm more interested in real people, who can really affect my life.

But let us not go off-topic

 

[Boltzmann]

Yeah, back on topic: This site changed my life. I won't ever make sex again

 

[Boltzmann]

That site really convinced me that sex is for ****.

Now I only have to join the Boy Scouts

Wait a sec, WTF? Join the Boy Scouts? OMG!!WTF!!









No, I’m not going to stop making sex.

 

[Boltzmann]

In vitro fertilization is a quite safe (albeit expensive) procedure these days.

Anyway, I don’t fear extinction from lack of sex. A nanotechnology world war is one of the worst things that could happen in the not so far future.

But there’s no way I’d join the Boy Scouts

 

[Boltzmann]

It's an ancient belief, just like F-3582 said.

 

[Boltzmann]

I don't like being censored. Not everyone has to live by the morals of your religion.

Bans against sex before marriage are ancient, and this is historical fact. I'm not saying that it's "wrong", just "old".

I don't accept any religious rule in my life, like it or not.

And what's the harm of expressing my thoughts on the subject? I'm not offending you, or anything.

 

[Boltzmann]

Until you brought the subject of religion up, I hadn’t said anything. I merely quoted a joke from the site, and you started to say that it was offensive.

You were the one to bring religion up, not me. Now don’t complain that I’ve expressed my views about it.

You complained about the joke, and I said that jokes are just jokes. Then you said that religious jokes offend you (and that comparing the president to Jesus is offensive and blah blah blah)…

 

[Boltzmann]

You won't offend me even if you say that science is crap. You'll only offend me if you say that I'm crap.

There’s a big difference between offending me and offending something that I liked and/or admire. That’s why you don’t see me complaining that X person offended me (unless they actually flame me).

And you were the one who brought up religion because of that joke, saying that it was offensive. I didn’t even mention religion before you did (and I didn’t intend to mention religion here, I just found that joke the funniest in the bunch).

BTW, what usual words did I say? I only said that it’s okay to make jokes about anything. We’ve freedom of speech.

If you really didn’t want to bring religion up, you could let that joke go, instead of saying your usual words.

 

[Boltzmann]

Offending a belief is not the same as offending the belief-holder.

Or else I'll start saying that you offend me every time you say that atheism is false.

But I'm willing to let go of this discussion. I've even dropped it before, but you guys picked it up again.

 

[Boltzmann]

Offending Jesus is not just offending a belief.

In religion a mutual relationship greater than anyone is formed by the people and their God, God is their life, their hope. their 'guide'. Insulting God is like saying "That person must be really a doofus believing in someone who doesnt really exist!" we are affected, unlike in Science which is an objective, It can't be offended: "Being successful sucks". It's more opinionated.

Do you know how unfair it is when someone bashes religion? It's like a relative abused yet we cant do anything about it. It's very painful on our part. Especially when science comes into the scene where they feed on evidences and facts. We just cant win by saying "We have faith".

Imagine that you don’t like Spider Man comics and you say, “hey, Spider Man sucks”, or you make a Spider Man joke.

Now suppose that I come along claiming that I’ve a deeply held personal belief in Spider Man, and that by offending him you’re offending me. Would you attach any importance to my feelings toward Spider Man?

Now think about more ancient religions. Suppose that I believe in the Greek pantheon and start writing angry letters to all websites that speak about “Greek mythology”. What would be your opinion about it?

You want your religion to be considered off-limits, yet you don’t mind calling other people’s religions a mythology and relegating them to history books. And some people still believe in ancient Egyptian religion, for instance – I can provide links if you want.

But these people are a minority, and no one gives a damn about them; who cares if we use Set or Osiris in a bad movie with a retarded plot? No one cares about it. But if someone puts Jesus in the same movie, hordes of people will complain.

You’re not forced to read what anyone else writes, and since they’re not offending you, you’ve no right to complain.

If you think that someone like me is too offensive toward religion, then by all means put me in your ignore list. I won’t be offended by your act.

If you believe in an all-powerful god, then he can take care of himself. If he has a problem with my behavior, he can do whatever he wants about it; he doesn’t need any offended believers doing it for him.

BTW, as an atheist I do think that all theists believe in something that doesn’t exist. Apparently you’re saying that my outspoken atheism offends you.

And yes, science is based on evidence, not faith. That’s why science has succeeded so much, right?

1) If I'm a good guy, I should respect your fanboyism to Spiderman. But Boltz, I must say that you took that example you always like to use just to piss us off. Or may be you can't think properly. Don't put God side by side with spiderman or anyother thing.

Why not? To me they're both fictional characters. And I have the right to believe this.

But I don't put god side by side with Spiderman. IMHO Spider-Man is a better character, because he's more humane.

Sorry, but that's free speech.

2) I know we are not forced to read your personal opinions about religion, but (put 50 thicklines under this) on the same time you can't write this in a public forums which has rules agaisnt any form of flaming/offending/harrasment or any insult.

So plz read the rules before you ask new members to read them.

If you can quote me where I insulted you, I'll apologize. But AFAIK I haven't offended you or anyone else. I didn't even criticize religion in this thread (I merely quoted a joke from the site) - you were the one running around crying foul.

I didn't insult any member. If I'd called you (or anyone else) an "ignorant believer", then this would be an insult.

If I say "god sucks", then I'm insulting god, and god is not an emuforums member. Anyway, I haven't even said that "god sucks". I repeat, I've only quoted a joke from a site, and then I tried to defend people's freedom of speech. I'm not attempting to criticize religion on this thread (though I've done it plenty of times in other threads, I'm not doing it here).

4) Our God can take care of himself + he does take care of us too. That's why there is something you sure have heard of called "The judgement day" . Where all ppl would be judged : You for offending him and me for seeing this offence and shut up.

I stoped believing this stuff when I was 13.

5) Science failed miserably many times. And God didn't give us much science btw, so don't get so proud.

Who said that science is infallible?
And where is this god-given science? I read a lot, but I've never seein it

* To any admin : A question in mind . Do you think Boltz's actions agree with your rules?
/waits for the answer.

If the admins censor me for my opinions, I'm out of here. I won't be part of a community where censorship of perfectly legal statements is enforced.

Anyway, the Commandments, err the rules, don't say "Thou shall not offend religion", so I can't see how I'm violating the rules.

 

[Boltzmann]

Yeah, I’m the boogey man

BTW, since you failed to produce a quote where I was directly insulting you, then you shouldn’t be accusing me of doing it.

I could say that I’m offended, but it really doesn’t suit me.

 

[Boltzmann]

Fact 1 : I explained to you that I consider any insult to my creator is an insult to my beliefs and so it's a direct insult to me and the way I think.

Fact 2 : After the repetitive explaination over and over you seemed not to understand though

Quote 1 : "I don't see any difference in making jokes about the president or making jokes about god, or whatever."

Quote 2 : "Why not? To me they are both fictional characters" (Refering to God and spider man)

Quote 3 : "But I don't put god side by side with Spiderman. IMHO Spider-Man is a better character, because he's more humane"

You’re god now? Then why are you offended?

Your “fact 1” is bogus. If I say that any insult to Star Trek is a direct insult to me, what does it prove? That if you say that Star Trek is a bad TV show then you’re directly insulting me? Sorry, but this is a non-sequitur.

Therefore, I reject your “fact 1”.

Logical conclusion: I’m offending a being that I don’t believe in, not you. So I’m not violating any rules here.

Show me a quote where I’m offending in you, and I’ll concede your point.

Side note : Boogey man wasn't proved to exist as far as I know. Why do you think you are him ?

You’re saying that the boogey man doesn’t exist? You’re offending my beliefs, and so directly insulting me.

@K.I.L.E.R.: The funny thing is that this isn’t even a religious debate, and I’m not even trying to argue against religion. Please read the posts more carefully.
