New Hampshire capital includes Satanic symbol as part of their holiday display ‘to avoid litigation’

You are childish

Hardly.

But you are extremely bitter and entrenched.

You need fairytales to comfort you. Grow up

 

[TemplarKormac]

Me? Grow up? After some of the s**t you say on this board?

You need religious bigotry to buttress your belief in nothingness. You need to repeatedly undermine the beliefs of others, guilt them into thinking their religion is a "fairy tale."

You're the one that needs to grow up.

It's mythology, bronze age mythology. Your religion is a remnant, a leftover from the infancy of mankind.

That is the most ridiculous take. If it’s your birthday you deserve to celebrate without some snot-nosed child demanding a party too. They can wait until their birthday.

Lmao.

So you’re at Applebee’s, it’s your birthday, the staff sings Happy Birthday to you. A snot-nosed child says it’s his birthday too. What do you do?

Here’s what I would do: nothing. I don’t give a shit if some snot-nosed kid wants to be sang to.

So what do you do in that scenario?

 

[TemplarKormac]

It's mythology, bronze age mythology. Your religion is a remnant, a leftover from the infancy of mankind.

For 2500 years there have been people like you. Your beliefs are just as much of a relic of the past as you claim mine are.

You just like the idea that all of creation happened with your dumb ass in mind.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Weird how the lefty cult bashes religion, but only Christianity.

I do not see much, if any criticism of the homophobia and misogyny inherent in Islam.

WEIRD, HUH?

Fuck Islam.

 

[TemplarKormac]

You just like the idea that all of creation happened with your dumb ass in mind.

And you like the idea of there having been nothing to create you at all. Your life, your intelligence. To repeatedly try to undermine people's faith. Such intolerance isn't borne of nothing, it's borne in you.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Fuck Islam.

Now there's something I didn't think I'd hear you say.

 

[Arlette]

And you like the idea of there having been nothing to create you at all. Your life, your intelligence. To repeatedly try to undermine people's faith. Such intolerance isn't borne of nothing, it's borne in you.

No, there was something, we just don't know what exactly. I'm confident that one day in the future we will know. It will a natural explanation.

Is all of the cultural spectrum worthy of protection? Are your values and morality no more or less virtuous than another culture’s?


“In an effort to "avoid litigation," New Hampshire’s capital city said it will allow The Satanic Temple (TST) to be part of the holiday display in the city's town square.

The city of Concord, New Hampshire, said in a Facebook post Saturday that TST had received a permit allowing them to display a holiday monument near the city's nativity scene outside the New Hampshire State House.

The city explained that under the First Amendment, and to avoid litigation, Concord had to choose whether to ban all holiday displays installed by other groups or allow the TST display.”

“The legs of the black Baphomet outside the State House stood standing, but its head was on the ground, robes crumpled and panel of Seven Fundamental Tenets shattered.

On Tuesday morning, Rep. Ellen Read, a Newmarket Democrat, was picking up the pieces of the vandalized goat-headed figure, three days after it was first unveiled on Main Street in Concord.

The base was heavy to move and passerby had left a Santa hat, a cross and a Christmas ornament on the statue. Read thought the statute would have lasted longer than three days, but there she was returning the remnants to leaders from The Satanic Temple in New Hampshire and Vermont. It’s up to them if the downtown statute will be replaced, she said.”

If true, then... Cowardly Woke-ist Scum...

So be it. But I contend there already is a natural explanation, but you aren't willing to accept it. I said earlier the nature of nature (not a typo) and the absolute preciseness of it cannot be lent to chance. To lend our existence to chance is foolish. To say that everything after the Big Bang was given to chance, and that our existence was the result of nothing but mere probability is ignorance in orders of magnitude.

I refuse to believe that. There had to be a creator.

So to measure a plank of wood for the beam of a house, so too was our existence measured in exact detail by a guided hand. God.

 

[Rawley]

You are being disrespectful of other religions that have as much legal standing as your own.

Christians blame Jews for crucifying Jesus
Should Jews be banned from celebrating Chanukah so close to achristmas?

Hanukkahhas been celebrated for over 2,000 years. What holiday are the Satanist celebrating?

So you are going with mud-made man and rib-made woman? That's an insult to intelligence. I happen to live in the 21st. century, I can read and I'm more than nine years old. I bet you are too.

It's an arbitrary attempt to offend society, there really isn't one.

 

[sparky]

Fuck Islam

F*ck any theocracy X

~S~

Flip a coin. Let's say heads.

Your existence or lack thereof relies on whether that coin flips heads 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME. Given how absolutely impossible that is, you need to consider how many variables and probabilities had to come together to create this universe, us. You.

The very idea of the precision of nature itself defeats your embittered arguments. It implies the hand of a creator.

How do you roll a dice and say nothing rolled it? The height of ignorance.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Now there's something I didn't think I'd hear you say.

I keep telling you to stop trying to speak for me.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I keep telling you to stop trying to speak for me.

You've got this strange idea that I'm speaking for you here. Or anywhere. I'm merely stating an observation.

Calm down.
