I think it's adorable.  We contrive such fragile systems of thinking and then huff and puff about it. :lulz:

They're not really constructed, so much as they evolve over time. I'm fairly certain there have never been any Jewish carpenters who were able to stop storms, walk on water, and rise from the dead. But I'm also fairly certain at least one Jewish carpenter just kinda said, "Fuck this hammering. I'm gonna preach!" one day. Where that other stuff came in, I don't know. Maybe they did some good drugs. But Christianity didn't come out of thin air, and it certainly wasn't contrived like Scientology or Discordia.

I'm thinking the ability to dismiss the ridiculous is inversely proportional to the number of people who believe it?

Beautiful. I'm stealing this.

Fine, bring that up why don't you.  Like what happened last time I tried to argue with him about his "word". :argh!:

Someone posted a fucking awesome t-shirt to the "I Love 80's Goth" group on Facebook.

http://www.kraftfuttermischwerk.de/blogg/shirt-depeche-mode-boys-dont-cry/

For the lazy, it's a tshirt with the "Unknown Pleasures" waveform on it, above that it says "DEPECHE MODE", beneath it says "BOYS DON'T CRY"

They went FUCKING NUTS, like ragetears.

And yet they claim to have complex senses of humour under the eyeliner and shit...

edit: Not that this is relevant to the topic at hand at all, it's just good trolling & the wint tweet reminded me of it.

Hey I kinda think I might be able to use your support here. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SGitR&defid=7877671

I feel oddly vulnerable, and I honestly don't know why.

It's cool, I'd rather this thread be about the lack of senses of humor than the merits of atheism.

Point, but that was more of a limiting event than creation of belief, in order to get some sort of consistency. It's a different kind of contriving than what I meant.

The Council of Nicaea's purpose was the codification of the faith to avoid disputes between what were viewed as heretical sects. It was ordered by Constantine because he was sick of the unrest between the different active churches: Apostolic, Arianism (NOT ARYANISM), Monophysitism, Copt, etc. Let's just say that it made the "argument" between Sunni and Shi'a Islam look tame. It was bad. In the end, Apostolic Christianity won out, thus creating the Orthodox church, and the others were labeled as heretical in nature because of the viewpoints on the Trinity and Transubstantiation, as well as the divinity of Christ.

...I know way too much about this shit.
