austrya Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 While listening to a Star Wars movie for the 34293472934th time today, this quote from Han Solo made me think of this thread. Boy, was he wrong about the force... I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field controls my destiny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 While listening to a Star Wars movie for the 34293472934th time today, this quote from Han Solo made me think of this thread. How so? I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 How so what? How so do I listen to that stupid movie so many times? My 2 year old is obsessed with it and he has to watch it every time we're in the car. I'd let him use the headphones so I could listen to music, but he keeps the volume up too loud and I'm afraid he'll damage his ears. So I just put up with it to keep him quiet. How so did it remind me of this thread? Substitute God for "mystical energy field" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 How so? I'd be entirely willing to believe in a "god" or "the force" if someone could provide even one single piece of clear, demonstrable, testable evidence. Until then, I'll remain unrepentantly skeptical. Holy red herring batman! You of course realize by now that no one here cares what you do or don't believe in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Holy red herring batman! You of course realize by now that no one here cares what you do or don't believe in. We saw this a lot in the last thread. Lots of smiley faces jacking themselves off and stifled fake yawns. Covering its eyes and ears and mocking its critics is what religion does best, after all. There is nothing else it can do. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! The Wizard of Oz is real, I tell you!" And of course the infantile "you said 'Jesus Christ,' that means you believe" insinuation always seems to crop up on a long enough timeline, however playfully. Yeah, it's absolutely fucking riotous that a society that is overwhelmingly Christian is loaded down with colloquialisms rooted in Christianity. That's just lol-worthy, right there. Personally, I'm thankful that most of them are at least seen to blaspheme against "the lord." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 You're the guy who was done with this, right? Yeah, that's what I thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 And of course the infantile "you said 'Jesus Christ,' that means you believe" insinuation...If that was directed at me, you are wrong. I am no Christian but I am a non-denominational believer in humor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If that was directed at me, you are wrong. I am no Christian but I am a non-denominational believer in humor. I think that was directed at me. He just doesn't realize that 9 out of 10 times I'm not serious. I could care less what he does or does not believe in and no matter what he says, he's never going to change my mind. Jesus Christ. I've had it with this idiocy. Enjoy the thread, folks. Enjoy your Flying Spaghetti Monster, your Jesus, and your Flim-Flam Man. They are all bunkum. Ok Yeah, yeah, that's just fucking great. I SAID JESUS CHRIST SO I MUST BE RELIGIOUS HA HA. If anything, that stands as an illustration of just how insidious this garbage truly is. He's the one that put the words in my mouth... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for the clarification. I should've read back a few instead of assuming that the world revolves around me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for the clarification. I should've read back a few instead of assuming that the world revolves around me! It was from the Wilco/Atheism thread. But maybe it was directed at you also. Wanna fight over it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

austrya Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 i find your lack of faith . . . disturbing. Ok, I listened to the movie again today and caught when Darth Vader said this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Party @ the Moontower Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 There is seriously something wrong when a girl from Missouri has to drive over and hour to Kansas just to see "Religulous" because MO folks are scared of Bill Maher. WTF? It's not playing anywhere. Oh well, I got to have free-range bison meatloaf at Ted's Montanna Grill & sit with the only cool people in KS. I'm thinking most of the crowd was from my state though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
