I hope you're not too heavy...we don't need to fly in a plane...I have fairy wings remember?

Cyberworld domination will have to wait for another day though as I'm too tired now to fly anywhere but to my nice cozy bed.

Goodnight my partner in crime.

You can have #1. I will be your #2. I can't fly or drive (disablities), but you can carry me! Wait, why were you on a plane earlier?

Urban Aeronautics X-Hawk Hovering

Engels says...

Not to mention that there's a good reason that thing is tethered down the way it is. It would flip over and crash at the slightest fairy fart from the side.

Atheist in the Bible Belt outs herself because she is MORAL

newtboy says...

Most Christians (and other religious people) post on secular websites freely without any issue. It is only the zealous, hyper religious people that can't form a thought that isn't based on their fairy tale book that regularly garner animus.
The idea that Christians are persecuted by the non-religious is laughable. The opposite is true, in real life and the internet. When one side of an argument is arguing for exclusion or hatred of a group, it's invariably the religious side making that argument. Because you can find one post in 1000 that's blatantly anti-religious doesn't make you persecuted. What about the 250 in 1000 posts that are blatantly anti-secularism (like each and every post of yours I've ever read even part of)? I'm guessing that, like logic and rationality, you ignore them in favor of your story book answers and your imaginary friend's 'laws'.

A christian posting on a secular website garners hostility, and that's pretty much universal. You'll find it in the comment section of any news story regarding anything even remotely about religion, you'll find it on youtube, twitter, facebook, web forums..basically everywhere. Where ever a Christian voices an opinion 5 atheists appear to mock him..I think that's a rule on the internet.

newtboy says...

I disagree, I think you garner hostility here because you do not add to the discussion, you merely spout your hyper religious nonsense ad nauseaum and flail and spin to make your arguments, while ignoring or twisting all input from others and even your own previous statements. That, and you have to write an essay or novel to answer each single line question.
At least those are my issues with you. There are plenty of other religious thinkers here that aren't being mass-ignored. That proves your 'they don't like christianity' stance is obvious BS, it's something else.
I grew up in a non-theistic household, and I'm just sick of the endless ridiculous fanatical ramblings. I haven't ignored you, I just don't read most of it. As soon as you start quoting the bible I stop reading, because I see that as a cop out that fanatics use when they can't make a rational argument, 'I know it's true because my fairy tale book tells me so" is not a rational argument, it is an indicator that the speaker is incapable of making one.

I garner hostility here because most of the sifters here grew up in Christian households and they've rebelled against their parents and God and they don't want to hear anything about Him.

@bareboards2
my comment was not really directed at you my dear.i painted my premise with a broad brush that expanded from this thread and addressed something i have found to be more and more practiced on the sift.

you posted your reasons why you used the ignore.
to get rid of the "rabble" and make it easier to read posts you enjoy.
now if that means posts that you agree with or dont find offensive ..well..that is kind of my point.

and you are so right.we all have a right to our opinion and in my opinion to sequester posts you disagree or find offensive is intellectually weak.

@VoodooV you literally just made my entire point by your post and i dont know if that was on purpose or by freak accident.

while i agree with your assertion that @shinyblurry tends to wade in the copy/paste waters and he dwells in circular logic land.you have to give the boy props for lending a perspective of a christian fundamentalist on a mainly secular left site.

that boy can rile you all up like a stick to a hornets nest.which is endless entertainment for me.

but lets change that paradigm shall we?
why dont you head down to your nearest baptist church and hand out fliers concerning evolution to the congregation and tell them god doesnt exist.

then maybe you would know what it feels like to get blasted by all sides at once.while shiny lacks in clear debate skills.you gotta admire his courage.

as for @chingalera seeking attention.
i dunno.
maybe you are right.
but the real question is how did you come to that conclusion?
by what means did you discern his intentions?motivations?
crystal ball? black magic? a little fairy come by and whisper in your ear?

no.
you used your OWN subjective understanding.your OWN experiences to presume the motivations of another sifter.
thats weak sauce and you better than that.

and then..finally..you ask for a daddy to come in straighten out the people who you:disagree with.argue in a way you dont find constructive (but may be they do).derail threads that maybe you would have enjoyed more if those pesky kids hadnt messed everything up.

the world dont revolve around you so get over yourself man.for fuck sakes!

i was sincere when i said i love your commentary because i truly do.
smart,witty and you usually have something to say.i ADORE your commentary but you are being self righteous on this thread.

i did something very similar last week to @renatojj and he called me out.he was right and i was wrong.

stop trying to impose your ideals of what constructive participation is based solely on your own and limited understanding.
this is not your sift but rather OURS and things will become chaotic at times.

the sift is organic.
allow it to metamorph into whatever it will become.
we do not need a big daddy to direct where it goes and thats the beauty of this site.

the irony in all this exchange between you and i is that i feel you have something to say and have always admired that about you.
allow other people to have their say as well.

London in 1927

artician says...

This was more intriguing than I'd expected.

I'm not that fascinated by old imagery (though definitely interested, and seeing such almost makes my mind wander in the same way old fairy-tales used to).

As someone from this generation, I work to see these realities, and our history in general, encapsulate these eras and peoples in some simulative aspect, so we can truly experience them.

Granted it will be even less than a carbon copy of the reality that was, but only so much as viewing the ghosts of history burnt to images by light.

Ah you see with this one you get the impression people with an intellectual capacity were in charge.. Just listen how much they talk about the story and the fairy tale subject they aren`t fanboys, they do have a needed distance from the source material and it shows.

God's God

Chairman_woo says...

"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?" -Friedrich Nietzsche


^ We have murdered our God's because we (rightly) came to understand that by this very act were to become their superiors. The "Will to power" (the most fundamental force in the human psyche) always demanded that this must one day come to pass, we were always destined to outlive our fairy tales.
However given our God's now lie dead at our feet the same "Will to power" demands of us a stark choice...

We can stare forever into the abyss of meaninglessness we have created in their place.....
or
We can fill that void with the only meaningful entity that remains, ourselves!

We have killed the God's, now WE must take their place. The "Ubermenschen" are simply those Human's who have attained such a mastery of their own minds that the left hemisphere of the brain (where logic & rational thought occur) has complete assess and control of the right (where the God's & spirit/emotions/inspiration live).

This is why I would never call myself an Atheist but rather a post-modern Gnostic. The God's & spirits did exist to us in every sense that matters, all we changed was our relationship to them. Instead of being their slaves we are now their masters, and we can command them to do whatsoever we please.
Or to put it another way, we became masters of our own reality when we killed our tyrannical God's, now it's time for us to exercise this new found power. (Novus Ordo Mundi! ;-) )
