I am not a Christian, though I think the message of Social Justice that
is taught by Christ to be a beautiful moral system. Too bad most
"Christians don't follow it".
At any rate. For the fucking presents. It matters for the god damn
presents. Getting up at six oclock in the morning to see what SANTA
brought. For me, for my kids. And not a fucking Jesus in the house.
But A lovely Chocolate Orange in the stocking! Hell Ya!

days ?

"social justice", eh?
Does that mean there is such a thing as "unsocial" justice?
How are we all expected to know the difference?
Who do we have to ask to explain what is Social Justice is vs Unsocial
justice?
Frankly, my boy.
I don't trust anyone to tell me just exactly what is social or
unsocial.

So you aren't a Christian? Or you don't take the word of God?
BTW, social justice, doesn't imply unsocial justice, per se. Evil is
good enough for whatever it is you think you are implying.

I guess this finally clears up the fact that you are a fucking communist.
In the past it has not been exactly clear that you are so far on the Left
but rather it seemed like you were basically just a confused and
fucked-up-in-the-head dude. But this explains it. Even if you do not
claim commie, you have definitely buried yourself in communist literature,
with your "social justice" crappola. No wonder you are so much for the fed
in the other thread, because you commies like central government. By the
way, fuck face, Christ was not a commie. You non-Christians sure like to
spout off a lot about what you think Christians are supposed to believe in.
Being a Christian does not mean you have to turn the other cheek all the
time, maybe that's you people making shit up again but just because we like
to feed the homeless and stuff does not mean that we cannot put a good
Christian boot in some non-Christian ass, especially at Christmas time,
hallelujah.

It sure seems like you non-Christians know a lot about Christians and are
always claiming what our beliefs are but hate is a normal human emotion and
you act like Christians cannot hate but we can hate just like any one else,
especially we hate when non-Christians say that things we do not hate are
actually hate, which is hateful on your parts, which we hate. It's pretty
brave of non-Christians to talk shit about how Christians are full of hate
when it is over the internet but some of us would like to see the
non-Christians say that to our face, especially at Christmas time and show
them what a holly jolly Christmas can be like with a foot in their ass.

No, I am not a communist. Cripes I hope you don't play poker with a
read this bad.
But Yeah, I think Christ, Ghandi, and MLK have some things to teach
people. But not a follower of Marx. And definitely against the Soviet
system, the Chinese system, the Cuban system, and even the Kabbutz in
Isreal, and the communes of Northern California. I am young enough,
that it is easy to reject the entire line of thought out of line, simply
due to practical failure.
And I am sure Christ loves your devotion! And really, "fuck face".
that is just not being very nice. WTF?
And no, I just like to tell people who tell ME what to believe in, what
to believe in. And really, physical harm. That doesn't seem very nice
either.
Doesn't bother me if someone has different or no beliefs. All I
wondered is why atheists should care about Christmas. As for going
juvenile, no one here beats your kindergarden ass at that.

In the world of hypocrisies, ones involving peppermints, sugar plums,

Happy Holidays!

Well, we do hate the fact you Christians stole our Winter Solstices and
renamed it Christmas. You just couldn't stand any celebrations that didn't
revolve around your superstitions.
Jerry (celebrating anyway) 'n Vegas
- Mary had a little lamb.. and the midwife fainted.
Nostalgia. Getting together with family. There are lots of reasons.
You do know that Christ, if born at all, wasn't born at Christmastime,
don't you? The church put Christmas in Winter to compete with a pagan
fest. So it's not really the non-christians who are horning in on your
feast, it's the other way around. So quit your whingeing.

Two out of three ain't bad. Ghandi, and MLK, were certainly communists.
And, of course, Christ was an early day Republican, obviously.

Christians aren't telling you what to do. Why do you think you are that
important? I would guess that most Christians do not give a fuck what you
do. Just don't rob a church.
> And really, physical harm. That doesn't seem very nice either.
Neither you nor Doggystyle can show me anywhere in the Bible where it says
that Christians cannot kick some ass if they're having a bad day or if
someone cuts them off on the road or something. The meek will inherit a
black eye.

I posted a lengthy thread last year questioning the same thing, Alim. It's
true. These people want to be athiests but then enjoy Christmas too. They
are greedy, hateful, party-crashing hypocrites. Why don't they get their
own holiday? It never stops. And look at this moron, Patrick, comes out of
the woodwork with how Christ was not born on Christmas. He's looking to
ruffle your feathers by somehow thinking he is spoiling our holiday. What
is with these people? These are some sick people in some sick times. They
get a real kick out of dissing Christmas, but still they want to take the
day off and get presents and shit.

How can you love someone you never met? THAT is the problem. I can

I would probably be friends with if I 'knew' them.
You're looking for love in all the wrong places Arlo.

Uhhh, the opposite of social justice would be social injustice.
Social (i.e. relating to society) is a constant. Hope this helps.

The hell they aren�t. They�re telling us to add, �under god� when we try to
pledge allegiance to our flag. They tell us we have to have, in god we
trust, on our coins. They tell women they can�t get an abortion. The tell
people they can�t have doctor assisted suicide.

You're full of crap. These two things do not necessarily follow.
Social Justice is the ongoing struggle against the institutional
oppression of the Man. Nothing at all to do with communism. Except
possibly in a marketing sense. Capitalism, also shares this marketing
sense. The ones that don't are royalty and caste systems, systems that
are based on xenophobia (pretty much anyone who has celebrated genetic
cleansing or genocide), hate based systems (which is not so much
brotherhood of love but brotherhood of hate_, and finally superiority
based systems (such as the Nazi Party).

No, except maybe from a marketing sense. And they weren't promoting
communism, rather the communist tried to steal the message.
One very interesting point, and where Alan Greenspan finally realized he
was wrong about Lassez Fair capitalism, was that the message of the high
school economics class was right, and that Ayn Rand was wrong. Man has
nearly infinite capability to crime and evil. And that economic
incentive is not enough to dissuade crime, indeed economic incentive can
be twisted to support criminality. That we the people, through the
force of government are forced to keep evil at bay. The message of
Gordon Gecko was misunderstood because he was such a piker. But it is
indeed there.
And he was wrong to utilize the central bank for the direct manipulation
of the marketplace for anything longer than a couple of months, and that
its primary purpose is to "right-size" the money supply. FOR THE
BENEFIT of the bankers, which benefits society. Can't even the
capitalists get that right?

Not quite. Many Christians have a long, long history and up to the
present day of My way, or death. This is so wrong, and tellingly wrong,
you're either simply ignorant, or lying, which would not be very
"Christian" but certainly very Islamic.

When the hell was I having that argument with you, and I am hardly going
to have a scripture war with you. Go to Sunday school if you're so
interested, or take a comparative religion class or something.
Personally, I am not playing.
Being intentionally mean, is being intentionally mean. I have hardly
cut you off the road. You may be having a bad day. But suck it up and
be nice.

Actually, the phrase "social justice" is a phrase usually spoken by
Socialists and Commies.
Just plain Justice isn't good enough for them.
They want Social Justice.
Basically, that means they want Justice to mean whatever they say it
means in any particular case.

Well, they probably do, but they shouldn't. I know I don't. I have always
been against the Holloween ritual. That holiday was meant for your kind.
That IS communism, you stupid mutherfucker. "Social justice" is a communist
buzz phrase. Communist literature is filled with terms like "social
justice". And, of course, the communists murdered millions. Nice going,
sparky, there's your social justice for you, you hypocrite.
It's funny how you say that I am full of crap, yet it is morons like you and
Pepe Papon who are the full of crap ones. And you guys went to school, I
didn't. So what's your excuse? I know a lot of things that you guys are
clueless about, yet I didn't get past 8th grade. What's up with that,
anyway? How are you guys are so fucking stupid, especially compared to me,
when you went to school and I didn't? You guys ought ask for your money
back.

I don't give a fuck that the communists appropriated the phrase. I am
not a communist. And I am not going to condemn "social justice" because
communism is worth condemning. Social justice predates communism some
would say by Millenia. I don't condemn forks, cuz the communists used
forks.
I don't condemn capitalism, because Ayn Rand is worth condemning.
That is your problem, you can't see the good ideas, so you hide yourself
from education and maintain your ignorance, if your ignorant, you won't
know what's wrong.

> Why don't they get their

Hate to say it Paul, but Christians were the ones who stole Christmas.
It had been celebrated for centuries before Christians as the Winter
Solstice (Yule, by Wiccans). Also, every other important Christian
holiday revolves around Pagan holidays. Halloween is Samhain, and
Easter is Beltan (all of these names are the ones used by Wiccans, in
Gaelic). Easter goes so far as to celebrate with painted eggs and
rabbits. Ever wonder why that is? Painted eggs and rabbits have
nothing to do with Christ or the resurrection, and everything to do with
the fertility that Beltan represents, a carryover from a purely Pagan
(in this case, Wiccan) practice.
The reason for all of this is that Pagans were the main competition for
Christians back when Christianity got its start. As such, the Christian
propaganda machine (very intelligently) coordinated their holidays to
overlap holidays being celebrated by Pagans already, holidays that
people had been celebrating for centuries. That way, the Christians
could make the Pagans transition from their religion more easily, and
also tell some of the lesser informed members of the religion that they
were really celebrating the same holidays.
Christ's birth (or at least the stated time period of it) was a
marketing scheme. Things haven't changed much. ;)
I'm not Pagan, I just know various religions, probably more than most
Pagans know about themselves, same deal with Christians. Anyway though,
seeing Jerry refer to Pagans with a "we" pronoun sets of my bullshit
alarm pretty good. But I imagine Jerry would do anything to piss off a
Republican, including adopting a religion (on the fly).

Really? I think behind the Chinese, and Stalin, the answer isn't even
close. Not by a long freaking shot.

So what was your point?

So then, is there a chance, a wee possibility, that Doggystyle, WAS TALKING
OUT HIS ASS?!!! Is that possible?
He will not say anything more about it, I guarantee you. He's done with
THIS thread.
By the way, I see it says "famine" next to Mao's name. Yeah, the famine,
that HE CREATED! It's called "agrarian reform", where the dirty rotten
commies take over people's farms, and if you don't want to go along, they
put a bullet in your head. Stalin did the same thing with Ukraine, Mugabe
did the same with Rhodesia, Mengitzu did the same in Ethiopia, it's standard
communist strategy. The same can happen here in this country. Don't think
it can't. Food does not grow in the back of the supermarket.
Gee Paul, does this mean you agree with me about agro subsidies? That
the breaking of the marketplace to create an abundance of food is a
societal plus rather than a societal negative?
> > Christians or communists ?

I'll tell you what my point is. You should STFD and STFU, since you
obviously know nothing of the history of the Roman Catholic Church.
Ever hear of the Inquisition??? That was the high point of many
centuries of systematic murdering of people for the crime of not
accepting Catholic dogma as truth. The total is unknown, but 100
million is a reasonable estimate, easily topping the totals of Stalin
and Mao.
I have stated this many times, and I will state it again. The Roman
Catholic Church is easily the most evil institution in history.

Oh BULLSHIT. There is simply not enough population around for that
number to be correct.
As evil as you want to make them, on a pure body count they were pikers.
Here are the actual numbers of the Inquisition...
Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834)
Cited in Will Durant, The Reformation (1957):
Juan Antonio Llorente, General Secretary of the Inquisition from 1789 to
1801, estimated that 31,912 were executed, 1480-1808.
In contrast to the high estimate cited above, Durant tosses his support
to the following low estimates:
Hernando de Pulgar, secretary to Queen Isabella, estimated 2,000 burned
before 1490.
An unnamed "Catholic historian" estimated 2,000 burned, 1480-1504, and
2,000 burned, 1504-1758.
PGtH: 8,800 deaths by burning, 1478-1496
Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church (1910): 8,800 burnt in 18
years of Torquemada. (acc2 Buckle and Friedl�nder)
Motley, Rise of the Dutch Republic: 10,220 burnt in 18 years of Torquemada
Britannica: 2,000
Aletheia, The Rationalist's Manual: 35,534 burned.
Fox's Book of Martyrs, Ch.IV: 32,000 burned
Paul Johnson A History of the Jews (1987): 32,000 k. by burning; 20,226
k. before 1540
Wertham: 250,000
Rummel: 350,000 deaths overall.
MEDIAN: 8,800 under Torq.; 32,000 all told.
Punished by all means, not death.
Fox: 309,000
P. Johnson: 341,000
Motley: 114,401

You're massive exaggerations are so egregious that their only point, is
that you are trying to make the church righteous by making charges so
outrageously wrong.
AT MOST, by one scholar, 350,000. Sheesh.

No subsidies! No welfare, individual OR corporate.
In pure capitalism, one moves to state of slight undersupply. As this
provides the best returns. Or even more perversely to takeover and
monopoly, again leading to undersupply, but at much higher prices.
As a society, we would have to spend a greater portion of our income
towards food and food security.
The breaking of the markets and the excess of food, is the modern
miracle of the US. It is probably the single most practical strength of
our nation. By removing food security as a problem, and having everyone
believe that it grows in the back of ths supermarket, our people were
free to do other things.
These other things were the dramatic leap that moved us ahead of
everyone else.
And I thought you may have been able to see that by example.
But alas no.
YOU TELL EM BUDDY !!!
Just when you think that youve been gypped ..the bearded lady comes and
does a double back flip!!! John Hiatt in "Buffalo River Home"

O I C. Besides being completely ignorant of the history of the Roman
Catholic Church, you also cannot read for comprehension. Here is what
I said about the Inquisition --
"That was the high point of many centuries of systematic murdering of
people for the crime of not accepting Catholic dogma as truth."
Before you embarrass yourself further with your total ignorance on
this subject, I suggest you Google [Albigensians], [Bogomils], and
[Waldensians].
Then read the following for some of the historical record of the
slaughter of millions by the RCC --
http://www.scribd.com/doc/22319610/Roman-Catholic-Church-the-Murderer
Again, you know NOTHING of the history of the RCC, so STFD and STFU.
William Coleman (ramashiva)
Um No.
the historical record shows two large areas of Christian or Catholic
death areas. The Crusades at about 1.5 million people, and the
Inquisition at about 350,000 people.
Stalin still "wins", and I hadn't even added the bodies of Pol Pot and
the Kmher rouge.
Wow, what a document. Written by a whack job after his 15 years of hard
works. And what a title.
And not supported by ANYONE else.
Sorry, STFU and STFD? This is not how to have a discussion. So kindly
FU. Nobody denies the Inquisition, nor the crusades, nor that whacko's
have been in charge of or utilized religion for whacked purposes. It
just isn't the size you deliriously believe it is. And also to attack
an entire ethos based on the success, failure, or views of said whack
jobs, is intellectually vapid.
And I don't even know WHY you are fighting with me on this. And that
you are coming up with such bizarre citations.
LOL. You are truly an idiot. Did you read the document??? Of course
not. How do you know the author is a whackjob??? You don't.
Not supported by anyone else??? If you had read the document, you
would know he quotes many historical sources. You are truly an idiot.
> Sorry, STFU and STFD? This is not how to have a discussion.
It is exactly the way to have a discussion when one party, namely you,
is completely ignorant of the subject matter under discussion.
> So kindly FU.

I am not delirous. I have studied the subject for many years. 100
million is a reasonable estimate.
> And also to attack

>

My bizarre citation has MANY citations to back up the claim that the
RCC has murdered something on the order of 50 million to 100 million
people over the centuries.
Again, you know nothing of the subject. I give you a link citing MANY
different historical sources, and you dismiss the author as a
whackjob.
Again, you are an idiot. You know nothing of the history of the RCC.
