"I'm Christian. I support Solochristo. "
Ok, cool.
"But at least he's passionate about something and he's trying to change the world with it."
Being passionate about something is a good thing? Now im not trying to compare the two, but hitler was pretty damn passionate about killing every jew on the planet, wasn't he? the world baptist church is pretty damn passionate, they wan't to change the world too. but guess what? we don't want the world baptist church to change the world, we don't want hitler to change the world, and we don't want joey to change the world. why? because religion sucks people into anti scientific thinking that that slows down scientific advancements further and further. for example: the dark ages.
" If you want him to lay off of you then you need to lay off of him and every other Christian in the community."
flip that around, we give him shit BECAUSE he wont lay off trying to convert people.
i know many religious people who don't talk about it and keep it to themselves, and we get along fine.
"Believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want. "
wait...
"at least he's passionate about something and he's trying to change the world with it."
so trying to get people to believe in something (as silly as this i might add) is letting people believe what they want?
hypocrite.
"But don't go out telling me that my faith is completely wrong because none of us know for sure. "
no, i know for sure. theres no evidence to support it, being it's a very specific claim with many variables, the chances of you being right about your faith on pure assumption is so astronomically low if i took the time to calculate the probability of you being right it would take me centuries to write the number down. you're wrong, but you're allowed to pretend you're right as long as long as you keep it to yourself and don't try brainwashing people.
faith itself means believing in something with no evidence, that in itself proves you're wrong. is it possible? yes, so are unicorns.
"Solochristo could be a lot better if it had some heavy hitter names behind it to support it. "
i hear adam rouse is looking for a new sponsor.
"If Boxes didn't have those guys then it wouldn't be nearly as popular. Same with Solochristo."
well lets be happy solochristo doesnt have nearly as much support.
"Nobody's right and nobody's wrong but at least have some tolerance guys..."
you christians are sooooooooooooooooooooo quick to call people intolerant when in reality people are just sick of your intolerance. your religion as a whole is intolerant of a majority of religions and ethnicity, sexual orientations and even science. we're done being tolerant of intolerance.
simply put, you have nothing to defend. religion is not a good thing and that's a fact, we don't want to have a bunch of religious nuts at the skatepark preaching at us.. about anything. this is a sport, a secular sport that has nothing to do with religion, keep your religion out of the sport, keep it away from all the sane people at the skatepark, and discuss it in your little churches and temples by yourselves and there will be no problems. in other words, stop preaching or go away.
but just adding this little bit; religion is not the default position, atheism is. believing in nothing is the default position, religions are just the unnecessary options. just making sure you know where your religion stands here.
as i said in , religion isnt the default position, atheism (not believing in a higher being) is, therefore im just.. normal. im promoting sanity.
i have turned people atheist though, and im happy i was able to de-brainwash people. it gives me a feeling of accomplishment knowing i reversed years of brainwashing. makes me happy to know i restored the default (sane) position in someone.
feel free to go into the religious thread and have a good old chat about this, if you have an open mind and a decent amount of intelligence, you will feel yourself doubting your "faith" rather quickly.
solochristo is bad, mkay?

The difference between us in this is that I'll read you're debate and accept that. You pick out everything I say and specifically try to prove it wrong. Faith is faith bro, even saying that you don't believe in anything still means that you have a belief. I'm not going to pick apart your answers and argue things that can't be argued but I'm content with what I believe, so are lots of other Christians. You can be content with what you believe like lots of other athiests. That doesn't mean you need to compute any number that would take too long to write out.

spot on.
and anthony, before you go freaking out at people for "shoving there beliefs down your throat" maybe you shouldnt do the same.
we all have our own beliefs and its clear that none of us are going to change, so why waste the effort.

"The difference between us in this is that I'll read you're debate and accept that. "
well that isnt good. you're not supposed to accept what people say like that. do your own research, i don't want people taking my word for it on issues they care about.
"You pick out everything I say and specifically try to prove it wrong. "
yes, i do. thats a good thing, its more organized and gets strait to the point. you had different topics in your post that needed to be addressed individually..
" Faith is faith bro, even saying that you don't believe in anything still means that you have a belief. "
yea? so i guess not having hair means you have a hair style? or not having a car makes you a car owner? or not smoking weed makes you a stoner? think about what you say dude, you might just realize it's wrong before you say it.
"I'm not going to pick apart your answers and argue things that can't be argued but I'm content with what I believe, so are lots of other Christians. "
good, doesnt make you right. all i can do is inform you that you're wrong and you're wasting your time and money on this religion, i can't make you dislike your religion.
"You can be content with what you believe like lots of other athiests. That doesn't mean you need to compute any number that would take too long to write out."
im content with what i don't believe. im content not believing anything, but im not content with the way christianity is basically forced onto every human in america. and that thing about computing made no sense.
im not shoving anything down peoples throat, nor do i have beliefs to shove down throats in the first place. i simply speak common sense (no im not being cocky, a lot of people on here speak common sense), you don't have to listen and neither does anyone else. joey aria goes to parks and preaches at people, he shoved beliefs down peoplez throats. mormons and jahovas witnesses shove things down peoples throats. the american public shoves religion into EVERYTHING.
there are churches on every corner, religion is a big part of elections, it gets shoved down my throat every day with every single presidential speech and every news channel you can find. atheists have had enough of the inequality in america. if you can talk about your religion and how it's great where ever you want, i have the right to say your religion is wrong whenever i want. it's only fair.
the topic of this thread is solochristo, the fact that you can actually say IM shoving "beliefs" down peoples throats yet ignore the fact that solochristo actually does, and in a much more publicized way than me, is kinda shocking.
"we all have our own beliefs and its clear that none of us are going to change,"
you yourself said you were starting to become agnostic, which is hard to do after being brainwashed into religion for so long. guess you've decided to stay with your religious beliefs? unfortunate.

He gave me a pamphlet and told me about god... I would beg to differ. He was good at scooters though, and tried to teach me how to air out.
But still gave me a pamphlet.

im on the fence, i go back and forth.
and im not vouching for them im just saying that theres no need to be arseholes to them. i personally never like to bring up my religion because after that people treat you differently whether they be christian or non

i constantly have religion shoved down my throat. it gets so bad that now i just tell them im atheist and stop talking to them all together until they treat me the same way as anyone else.
to me, religion doesn't matter when it comes to how i choose my friends as long as they arent nuts like joey or rouse, but to religious people, an atheist is Satan.

i have literally had people say "shun the non believer" in a completely serious tone when i said i was atheist. one girl who i knew for a month at the time and started getting close to just walked away when i refused to go to church with her. she played the "you're intolerant" card.. when she's the one that wouldnt accept that im atheist.
on the other hand, i have NEVER heard an atheist say they wouldnt be friends with a religious person.
