A Girl Named Dan » Plus, I don't have a holier-than-thou act. If you hung out with me, you'd see. I also don’t need to condemn you. It wouldn't make you change and it wouldn't help me.
A Girl Named Dan » I think you are just upset that I am not more argumentative with you - so you term it a lack of faith. I'm full of faith, I just don't think Christians are always perfect.
A Girl Named Dan » I didn't miss you point. I still say that I believe in God and the Bible. I believe in them. I'm sorry you don't think I do just because I'm not yelling that you are going to hell.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » But I'm growing tired of talking in circles with you. If what you believe makes you feel good, that's fine. But leave the holier than thou act at home and let everyone live in peace.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » you missed the point. what I'm saying is what i believe in is 100%, I don't waver or pick and choose beliefs.
A Girl Named Dan » I've never said that either. I always believe in God.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » because what I've chosen to believe in I have gone full out and believed in whole heartedly. Not said... well, I don't believe in God, unless this happens then we'll see...
A Girl Named Dan » Yes, I meant - are you not choosing what to believe or what not to believe? Why do you not allow me the same right?
Scurvy McSoggybottom » how am I picking and choosing what I believe in? I don't believe in any type of religion. I believe people are basically good and given the right opportunities and understanding things would improve
A Girl Named Dan » I'm sorry you feel that I am picking and choosing what I believe... Aren't you doing the same? Just because I don't believe the stereo-typed beliefs you feel I should, doesn't mean that I lack faith
A Girl Named Dan » You don't think other cultures legislate religion?! Wow. Read up on world culture buddy.
A Girl Named Dan » If you say so. I just just meant my God as opposed to the gods of other religions.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » it shows your true lack of faith, either buy in all the way or don't. But this picking and choosing of what you're going to believe is bullshit
Scurvy McSoggybottom » it's something their brought up with or they discover for themselves. Not something crammed down their throat and legislated to them. And this idea of "your god" is far to convenient.
A Girl Named Dan » My God doesn't think anyone is the worst person on Earth. Everyone has his love and forgiveness. That doesn't mean that "Christians" all feel that way.
A Girl Named Dan » I might if I didn't live in the Bible belt. I have a feeling that in cultures where other religions are the norm, people reach out to share there message and reach youth.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » That seems rather conveniant, God can turn the other cheek when atrocities are carried out in his name, but let someone not believe in God and holy shit, he's the worst person on Earth.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » you don't have to, just prove me wrong. when's the last time you got a flier handed to you inviting you to a bhuddist temple? or seen "Younglife" with a bunch of little shaved headed kids?
A Girl Named Dan » Yes, "Christians" have done some pretty bad things for the name of God. I think that was human instinct and anger not what my God wanted. He turns the other cheek. I try to.
A Girl Named Dan » I'm not sure that I would agree with your comment on Bhuddists or Jews.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » to suit their beliefs. Christians have waged wars and commited crimes against humanity trying to force others to believe what they believe.
A Girl Named Dan » I wouldn't consider him an angry atheist tho.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » I do. I don't care what you believe in, my problem with Christians is that they don't have the same policy. You don't see Bhuddists or Jews trying to convert people or influence politics
A Girl Named Dan » Last boyfriend was an atheist. I probably would have married him if he would have ever found enough time for me.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » but I bet you'd hang out with a Southern Baptist before an atheist!
A Girl Named Dan » So, try not to attack me for judging you - I proably am not. Remember your comment on tolerance? Why not have some for us evil Christians?
Scurvy McSoggybottom » Blah, the real point is... no one is wrong and no one is right and if people were a little more tolerant or other peoples beliefs and ideas we wouldn't have a fraction of the problems we do.
A Girl Named Dan » What I said about aethists is the same reason I'm not a Southern Baptist. I like to dance and see nothing wrong with a nice glass of wine. I don't share their values
Scurvy McSoggybottom » Religion removes accountability from people to make themselves good and instead puts it on the shoulders of a deity, which creates co-dependance early on.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » only waaaaaay more tolerance.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » The problem with religion is it doesn't trust that people are inherantly good. If you grew up and watched a couple of episodes of Sesame Street, you'd have the same lessons as if you grew up Christian
A Girl Named Dan » I may choose to not surround myself with aethists, but it isn't because I don't think them worthy. It's because I may have values that are not shared.
A Girl Named Dan » I don't think you read what I wrote. I don't think it is my right to impress upon other people my convictions. It is my right to live my life by my convictions.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » that's for me to know and you to beg to find out.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » I'm very true to my convictions (hence our little argument). Trust me it's much more of a brave thing to be an atheist in Oklahoma than a Christian. And as far as what's going on in my pants...
Scurvy McSoggybottom » Yes, but how is that Christians find it their god given right to impress upon other people their convictions and beliefs, it'd be different they lived and let live, but you don't
A Girl Named Dan » After all. There is something to be said for a guy with soggy pants living up to his personal convictions.
A Girl Named Dan » Yes, what I believe is that for me. I hope you have convictions that you feel strongly about too. I may or may not agree with them, but I hope you live by the standards you set for yourself.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » Well, then your opinions should be better formulated. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but Christians have a way of making what they believe the be all and end all of what should be.
A Girl Named Dan » Who's to say I'm right? Me. It's right for me. I wasn't condemning others. I was explaining a little about how I think and why. This post wasn't about religion - it was about not passing judgment
Scurvy McSoggybottom » Out of all that, all you can do is agree that translation is an issue? Ponder your beliefs a little and come back when you've got ammuntion for a battle of wits.
A Girl Named Dan » Chriatians believe that the Bible was written down by man, but with the Divine guidance of God. - In other words, it wasn't man's ideas - man was just the stenographer!
A Girl Named Dan » Yes, translation is an issue. My family reads Greek and Hebrew - sister has a doctorate in the stuff. My cousin translates dead sea scrolls.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » Why not Bhuddism or Islam or Judiaism or Greek polytheism or what... the one constant in all these groups is that man doesn't have all the answers, but needs to think SOMEONE does. So they creat a god
Scurvy McSoggybottom » Plus, the fact that the bible was translated incorrectly making many of the "miraculous things" that occur in not so miraculous. But even if you take it at it's base who's to say you're right?
Scurvy McSoggybottom » not everything, but a lot. And, considering that religion was created by man and the bible was written by man, haven't you heard "don't believe EVERYTHING you read"?
Scurvy McSoggybottom » I didn't say your beliefs were wrong, just easily discredited. The reason man created religion is to explain the unexplainable and as we have evolved we've been able to explain a lot of things...
A Girl Named Dan » BTW - this was written about human judgment...About the fact that we are not ENTITLED to tell others that their beliefs are wrong - unless we are perfect ourselves. But, take from it what you want.
A Girl Named Dan » Well allrighty then. I actually did NOT say that God was concrete. I said that my values and principles hold a concrete basis - that basis is the Bible.
BJ » Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek
Scurvy McSoggybottom » It's not ONE word, it's her entire thought process... God isn't concrete or tangible or real... any of these other words would have sufficed. Dont get pissy because your beliefs are easily discredited
BJ » It is almost comical that you can take one word from her blog and make it into a case for athiests. Good for you...pat yourself on your back and move on with life
Scurvy McSoggybottom » thank you for making the ultimate case for athiests, coming from a Christian, it's REALLY nice!

Scurvy McSoggybottom » concrete you can take. Those people who look to faith as an escape from things too horrible or taxing to face find solace in the fact that God ISN'T concrete. But, yes for those with their eyes open
Scurvy McSoggybottom » I think that people who need something in their lives find religion because it does give them something that is beyond the concrete. When you get kicked to the ground by reality there's only so much
Scurvy McSoggybottom » the mystique and allure that makes faith special. Now, this is all said on behalf of people who need faith as a crutch in my opinion. You've just given the basic argument for atheism.
Scurvy McSoggybottom » "I am disappointed in you"... as a Christian. The reason religion is called a "faith" is because God is not concrete. If God were tangible, there would be no use for religion and it would bankrupt
A Girl Named Dan » Thank you Annie.
Annie » Happy Birthday!
Annie » Happy Birthday!
A Girl Named Dan » Yep, every now and then I think about Mac...especially when I am wishing I still worked on cars! Glad/surprised to hear from ya. Still talk to Amy. She's a teacher in Supalpa. Her little boy is 6
Brandon J » It is too bad you did not make it up to Mac, I think we would have had a great time. Talk to Amy much anymore?
A Girl Named Dan » Thanks! They are pretty great doggies!

Harmonia AKA Jennair » hi - blog hopping. Great doggie pics!
A Girl Named Dan » I did. I wrote several somethings. Now, why don't you comment on those things?!
Sarah Lee » Write something!
A Girl Named Dan » As a matter of fact, it is quite depressing!
Zach » Dana, your July 5th posting is kind of depressing, isn't it?
A Girl Named Dan » Deb&Dad, the pic is one that was featured at the Guthrie Art & Wine Festival. You can see more of her work at www.artistryimages.com
A Girl Named Dan » Actually skirts are one of the most simple things to start with.
deb&Dad » Hey, your dad and I just found this site. Is that your naked body in the picture?
Sarah Lee » A long fitted black skirt with a train and gathers in the back. I'm starting simple, huh?
A Girl Named Dan » Tell me what you want & I can start some sketches/patterns.
Sarah Lee » SOme really cool, funky clothes...
Sarah Lee » When are you going to design me some clothes?
Name » Message
random person » hello people, i have no idea who any of you are or what your talknig about, im in a study and very bored!
A Girl Named Dan » I hope you were looking for me for good reasons...not a price on my head or anything... It's great to hear from you!
Julia » I saw the picture but I still wanted to make sure b/c you look kind of different in the picture. I haven't seen you in forever! I have looked for you off and on for about 3 years now.
