So CNN really is the home of the left-wing Godless commies.

Jesus was a commie!

I know...ironic, isn't it? The world's first hippie.

rkzenrage 08-22-2007 08:18 AM

If Jesus came back today the moral majority would skin him alive.

piercehawkeye45 08-22-2007 08:36 AM

Speaking of American commie heros, Tom Joad anyone?

9th Engineer 08-22-2007 11:16 AM

So we now know the religious demographics of the people who visit Larry King's website, so what?:neutral:

piercehawkeye45 08-22-2007 05:26 PM

He was pointing out the strong majority of atheists.

rkzenrage 08-22-2007 05:30 PM

I was?

piercehawkeye45 08-22-2007 05:32 PM

Yes, you were.

Or that is at least what everyone took it as unless something really big flew over my head.

rkzenrage 08-22-2007 05:33 PM

That's some talent you have there.

piercehawkeye45 08-22-2007 05:35 PM

Thanks, I get that a lot.

There was nothing else remarkable about it, and you remarked. QED.

As I have stated a thread, once posted, is not about the poster, it is the Celler's, for all and is a thing of it's own.
I do find that aspect interesting, as I do other aspects of it.
I was very surprised by the small percentage of the spiritual but not religious number as well as christian percentage.
I very rarely post a thread hoping just to garner a one-sided discussion... there is no point in that.

Happy Monkey 08-22-2007 09:38 PM

The others are only small because the atheist is so big, which was the result of a bunch of atheist-friendly (including Pharyngula, where I saw it) websites passing the link around for fun. You can (and I did) even vote multiple times without even clearing your cookies. It's sorta funny, especially if Larry mentioned it on his show, but it's not indicative of anything much.

yesman065 08-22-2007 09:45 PM

That has to be the most worthless poll EVER.

so the big atheist share was just a coincidence? you're saying that it wasn't the reason you started the thread? srsly?

you must think we're all very stupid.

Well, maybe, but it's tied with all other web polls.

I have posted articles that stated opinions that ran contrary to mine more than once.

Yes, the atheists numbers are not the only reason I posted it, I have already stated it... that you could not read that for yourself.... well, yes, that is pretty stupid.

So you're saying atheists are not intelligent, since they watch Larry King? That is not kind. I know some bright atheists.

would you mind pointing one of those out?

also, i DID see where you thought the pct of spiritual/not religious count was high...i just thought you were lying. i can read very well....i also have a very good memory. and furthermore.....what is it with you and the accusing people of not reading? is it inconcievable to you that some people may ignore parts of your posts because they dont ring true....or maybe.....just maybe......communication requires accurate expression of a point just as much as it does accurate interpretation? The repetetive condescending tones coming from you are obviously causing a large amount of blowback. change. you're doing it wrong. you.

rkzenrage 08-23-2007 02:40 PM

Tone, in text? LOL!!!!!

Our fine board owner for one. Wow...he thinks Undertoad is not intelligent! Well, that stupid son of a bitch! UT may be a bit dim at times, but he oozes intelligence out of his pores...you can even smell it at times!

The following was completely in jest except for the following: 1)To my knowledge, UT is an atheist, or at least an agnostic, IIRC. 2)UT oozes intelligence.

Undertoad 08-23-2007 02:52 PM

Thanks man, and as far as the smelling it goes, that's true too - I had lentil soup and a burrito yesterday, and boy howdy.

you ignoring this, or didn't you read it?

rkzenrage 08-23-2007 03:32 PM

It is silly and your games are tiring .
Look through my threads yourself.
How about this one... I don't like Larry King, he is an idiot, cannot interview the most interesting person and has never been worth watching.
I posted two points of view on the use of certain words on a recent thread.
You don't like me, boo-hoo bitch.
What is funny is that you are far more guilty of everything you accuse me of, which is why it bothers you so much.

elSicomoro 08-23-2007 03:34 PM

I guess he minds pointing it out.

lumberjim 08-23-2007 03:41 PM

doodly doodly doodly doodly

(that's the dream sequence music fading out)

i think, RAGE, that it is becomng very apparent that you are full of shit.

you have this grand opinion of yourself and your strong sense of honor, when in reality.....you're a single issue hammer with a chip on his shoulder that lies when it serves his purposes. And when someone calls you on it, you attempt to deflect it by saying things like this:

ok...so how will I know when I'm reading one that is slanted toward a contradictory opinion of yours?

I'm not smart enough to, plainly....and my reading skillz are sub par.

it is tiring tho, you're right.

you say that you would love to be proven wrong. I'm telling you, ...lots of people are telling you....that you act like an ass. have you thanked them for the lesson and changed? hmmm? no, you have not. so, maybe it isnt a coincedence that when clodfobble and jinx asked you to cite an instance where you did, you ignored or refused.

these are my thoughts on the matter.

you sir.....I name you Butthole.

Yeah, because I only post threads about one issue?
You moron.
Every time you insult me I am elated.
It is a compliment of the highest honor coming from you.
You telling me that I act like an ass is so fucking funny!

Your reading skills are sub-par because two posts above this I gave two examples where I posted threads where the points conflicted with my own opinion..

DanaC 08-23-2007 03:51 PM

Entertaining as it is, watching you fellas swinging your dicks at each other...and it is always entertaining to watch swinging dicks...isn't this whole thing getting just a tad circular?

lumberjim 08-23-2007 04:10 PM

this thread is conflicting with your own opinion because you don't like Larry King?

Quote:

that's not what i asked you either.

you're right dana. my dick is clearly bigger, and i'm tired of dragging it back and forth across rages new shoes.

No, only the ones that go to King's website. ;)
I suspect that's a pretty small sampling of people that watch his shows.

Clodfobble 08-23-2007 09:38 PM

Last year's poll on CNN's website:

Do you agree with Charlie Sheen that the US government covered up the real events of the 9/11 attacks?

Yes - 84% (34692 votes)
No - 16% (6757)


I'm not making any comment on the results of this poll. I just thought I'd post it.
