I don't get why they (okcupid) give me 'matches' or 'updates' from people who think that same sex relationships are wrong, that creationism should be taught in public schools, and that it should be illegal to burn ones' countries' flag.

I'm pretty sure the "New Matches" email that comes weekly is basically an update of new users in your area. I don't get the sense they use their algorithms when they send those out.

Christianity (and other religions) causes a lot of suffering in the world, and seems to be used often to manipulate ignorant voters in politics.

Just like Athiesm. Except they don't bother manipulating voters. They just throw big Bolshevik parties.

The way that Christians try and counter the amount of shit they've done with the fact that the Communist party was atheist is laughable.

It's not a counter (not from me anyway). Catholics/Protestants have centuries of tyranny in their balance, Communists have less than a century. Just pointing out that one is not superior to the other when it comes to violence.

I think being a agnostic atheist is the way to go.

I think emphasizing correlations between religious affiliation (or lack thereof) and political motives is nothing beyond superficial and at the bottom of things an absurd means of argument.

Well I personally think that christians shouldn’t have the right to vote because they openly admit that their decisions are irrational. What you’re saying is that one’s belief doesn’t change (or matters to) your political opinions, but I can see it clearly here. Statistics say that stupid villagers outside of Prague vote communists and left-wing parties while in Prague the situation still somewhat holds together. The number of christians on the countryside is obviously much higher than here where clever people live.

You can’t claim that these things are not connected.

 

[Zephyrus]

They do for the common herd, of course.

The stuff the communists in Russia did to Christians wasn't in the name of atheism. It was more an act of revenge because the Russian church pretty much tried to keep everyone more or less enslaved by the Czar.

As for Maoist China, it wasn't in the name of atheism either, since the communists were getting rid of an ideology that was already atheistic to begin with.

Derek, restaurants are not appropriate for cold approaches because there is a privacy sphere effect at every table. You go to a restaurant to be secluded with your party, not to talk to strangers.

Blew it with a chance to make out with a girl dressed as Wes Borland at a party last night. We were talking lots and she kept making all these not-subtle references to her liking chicks, but I went out to smoke a six paper joint with some dudes and came back in and she was gone.

I would argue that the decision to participate in voting is irrational, but that's for another thread.

I'm serious in the sense that I am firm in my non-belief and if needed will defend my position, but not so serious that I feel the need to be a raging militant assbutt about it.

Point taken, and thanks for responding.

Christianity (and other religions) causes a lot of suffering in the world, and seems to be used often to manipulate ignorant voters in politics. there's nothing wrong with the idea of being serious about atheism imo.

Interesting point of view, because I can see how and why Christianity would get singled out. Though there have been positive and negative contributors through society in both the theistic and atheistic fields. Militant Atheisism can be perceived as having the same effects as Evangelical Christianity.

Side note: I am an ex-Christian atheist, but I've been one so long I'm passed the "pissed off and blaming Christianity" phase. I did that plenty enough a couple years back.

I think I got banned from okcupid.

Which of your poems were you sending to women?

I can’t think of anything funny to write in the profile so it’s just empty. Not that I need to find some random girl on the internet. I mean, rapists do that so that police can’t find any connection leading to them.
