Famous atheist says he identifies as a 'cultural Christian' and is 'horrified' by promotion of Islamic holiday

The Original Rooster

Mayor of Spring Hill
Oh good, the wrestlin' and purse smackin' have stopped. I got a joke for y'all.

A priest, a preacher and a Rabbi walked into their favorite bar, where they would get together two or three times a week for drinks and to talk shop.

On this particular afternoon, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.

One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first.
"Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So, I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, " WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So, I took HOLD of him, and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So, I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape.

The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

I thought it started in the duck forum. Good to see you in here. Enjoying the show?

Prolly did, I just rememberd seein' it in Billy......cause a lot of em got themselves banded :bounce:

I come around some and read, but don't wanna go round n round over the things we have all been unable to convince each other of in the past. I do miss it and the debates, though.

This one has been complicated for me. Dan-o is my friend, and you n Walt are also my friends. It's one of those situations where I am pert certain a campfire and beer would have made the discussion a lot more meaningful and enjoyable, though nobody would have changed positions. Hard to decipher intent of the opposite side via 2D texting.

I have modified my stance on the value of faith based beliefs through hashing it out with different people or watching others do it. I haven't encountered anyone yet that I didn't find something useful from having a discussion with them, even when it's low grade. Kids, Wokes, Fundamentalists, the belligerent... I can talk to anybody.

yep, I just found it odd that he would call out someone for the "unchristian" post, and then state that person wasn't serious about their beliefs. It just struck me as the old saying goes, ' Don't do as I do, do as I say'
I'm not going to get inbetween two Christians in a discernment debate but if I know Spot his point was -
"you came in here and intentionally, on purpose, spewed a bunch of nonsense and thats not how a Christian is supposed to act".
Spot recognized the nonsense for what it was and called it out.

By the way, just saw y'alls Alaska pics. That must have been very cool seeing that in person.

Christians are allowed to have a sense of humor even if it triggers you and him. Good talk.

Like, "I ain't gonna get between two women arguing about abortion"?

I try to avoid getting between two women arguing about anything.
But yeah, like that.

Hahaha

A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit, walk into a bar. The bar tender asks the rabbit “What will you have?”

The rabbit replies, “I don’t know, I am only here because of auto correct.”

Sorry OR, I couldn’t resist.
