If human rights were universal, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.  Nor would we be spending countless resources trying to change the perceptions of people who have different ideas than ours concerning the rights of Man*.

*This usage of Man does not imply just male, but all of mankind, male and female.

Well thank you Mr. Spaghetti for bringing back the mental images!!!

Just had a thought, clownboy that picture belong on post an image of your hat...that is a hat you're covering yourself with, right?
Yes, that's a hat.  This picture could very well go into three, no, four threads.  "Post an image of yourself," "Post an image of your hat," and "Post on image of your leg."  And then this one because I copy and pasted it at one point.

hahahahaha I can't say I've ever been high enough to want to photograph myself in the buff :D
Let's just say I was open to suggestion and AIM'ing with the wrong people.   ;D

Well, the reason I have it is because of one late night under the influence...

Hehe, but on another forum I frequent someone started a thread celebrating nudity, but there wasn't any nudity.  I changed that.    :)

At least while under the influence of DXM, I still had the presence of mind to use a hat...

To discuss the original intention of the thread (sorry, I haven't read the whole thread, only most of the first page) and to answer some others; you don't have to believe in every word the Bible tells us, for one simple fact: Man wrote it. God did not write it. And Man has passed it down through the ages.
Corruption of Man and 'his' imperfection have skewed many parts, and have added other parts to suit 'his' need (not His).
You may retaliate with: "If God is perfect, why is his inspiration not?" A simple answer, he tests. If it's one thing you learn as a Christian it's: God loves to test Man... whether it be a test of Man's loyalty, his truthfulness, his compassion, etc...
" class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This is my rebuttal to your idea on God testing man.

Who said anything about atheism being a religion?  Didn't we pass that subject a few threads and several months ago?

Saying "I'm an atheist" is a lot easier than saying "I'm a person that doesn't believe in fantasy lands."

Edit: I'm not a nag clownboy. My ex smoked and I didn't nag him about it, just pointed out I didn't like it but let him do it. He quit of his own accord.
How many times did you point it out to him, though?  And, everyone quits of their own accord...especially when they're tired of hearing someone else bitch about it.   :P

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." -- Mahatma Gandhi

I believe that most Christians have their priorities in the wrong places.  I also think that one doesn't have to take the Bible as a whole to be a "Christian."  I believe the word Christian means "Christ-like" -- I may be wrong -- so it occurs to me that if a person followed the teachings of Jesus, meaning you take only the first four books of the New Testament, you would be just as Christian, if not moreso, than other Christians. 

Another interesting idea -- most Christians regard a "Christian" as a person who has been saved.  If there is no God to save them, there are no Christians, correct?

And there would still be a point to that religion, the point being that a religion offers more to it's believers than a philosophy.
I disagree, but it really just comes down to what a person is looking for.  My mom listens to a Christian radio station a lot and I've been attending a Southern Baptist church for a long time.  I hear Heaven mentioned often as thought it were the main goal, but that just strikes me as wrong.  They say you should strive to be more like Jesus, but I really don't think Jesus would want people to strive for Heaven, but rather, to do what's right.  Jesus says the greatest commandment was to love Him and then to love your neighbor, not to do what you can to Heaven.  They're going about it all wrong, whether Heaven exists or not.

Why are we here?
To make more of ourselves.
Why was the universe created?
It wasn't created; it happened.
Why does god give a rat's ass?
He doesn't.
why do bad things happen to good people?

Atheists (real ones, not the phony ones) normally make no assumptions, but religious people will just for comfort. A person is stupid for believing in coping mechanisms.
And a phony atheist is...?
I think most except for the very conservative fundamentalist would see the creation story as just that, a story. In all likelihood meant to encourage people to have a day of rest.
Which is where I'm going to have to take issue with the creation story.  I mean, seriously, one day of rest?  Gimme two or three, plz.

The following is an actual set of excerpts from an actual AIM conversation I had with Dogplatter.  This may or may not reaffirm anyone's preexisting notions towards Dogplatter's Earth Shape Orientation.

Quote
cadmiumblimp:    Do you really believe the earth is flat or are you just a DA?  I don't really participate in the RE vs. FE discussions much or anything...
cadmiumblimp:   I've been around since June or so...
Dogplatter:   I do genuinely believe that the Earth is flat
Dogplatter:   I can understand why some people don't, as a ridiculously small movement we haven't amassed the sheer quantity of evidence which RET has, but I still think that even these diehards should at least realise FET is quite possible

Quote
cadmiumblimp:    How did you come to believe the earth was flat?
Dogplatter:   I've told generalgayer this story as well - I've since realised I actually started to investigate and question the issue on a false premise
Dogplatter:   I always wondered why you couldn't see the curvature of the earth from a plane
Dogplatter:   during my development as an actual Flat Earther, I later found out that even in RE model you probably wouldn't be able to see it
Dogplatter:   but since then I've weighed up the evidence provided by both sides and reached my conclusion anyway
Dogplatter:   non-curvature from a plane is neither here nor there

Quote
cadmiumblimp:    Are you open about this in real life?
Dogplatter:   in a lot of circles I tend to keep it to myself.
Dogplatter:   most of my close friends know and I talk to them about it
Dogplatter:   nobody where I work knows
Dogplatter:   and I have a few circles of friends who don't know
Dogplatter:   I figure it's a really quick way to get ridiculed, so I don't tend to shout it from the rooftops so to speak

Quote
cadmiumblimp:    Do you know other people that believe as you do?
Dogplatter:   outside the scope of the forum I know a couple of people who are pretty much Flat Earthers
Dogplatter:   I know a lot more people who are undecided
Dogplatter:   generally if I sit down and talk about it with my friends, a lot of them will realise they honestly don't know what shape it is
Dogplatter:   I think my blood relatives humour me by pretending they're undecided, too
