Flame on!

I'm home sick, in a terrible mood, and reading Usenet. Guess what happens?

(Warning: This is from alt,atheism, and states my beliefs in a rather rude and cruel way. My friends with honestly held beliefs should know that this may offended them.



Lo, many moons past, on Fri, 28 Nov 2003 12:06:39 -0700, a stranger called by some "derng" <derng@hotmail.com> came forth and told this tale in alt.atheism

How nice. Since there are no rules, you automatically sink the bottom and start happily rolling in the muck. No sense of control, unless there is a sense of impending punishment?

I am by far a better person that you with all your foul language could ever be. There is no debate; you are an emotional toddler who hugs Jesus like a shit-stained security blanket screaming "I can do anything I want and you can't stop me!" Evidently you've never even read the fucking bible, since you seem to not understand how the Gospels state one should act. You, among other things, are a terrible Christian.

But above all else you're a child. An emotional cripple, and tenth of what I am.

Live with that fact. That I, an atheist, am better than you can ever dream of being. Cry yourself to sleep tonight, little boy, and pray into the void to your non-existent gods. Someday as you lie on your death bed feeling the life drain out with each last breath, you will realize that it was all a lie. Your weak eyes will widen in horror at the realization of a life wasted in pursuit of a myth, and all the chances you squandered. I wonder... in that last moment, will you manage a sob? Or will you just expire - cheated of even a last comment.

That image will warm my heart when I read your rantings, little one, because I see the empty shell behind them. You know I do.

Feel free to curse at me, call my mother names, use every dirty word you know, and I will just laugh harder.

Sleep tight.

One quick question.

You've identified as Jewish before, I believe.

How does that jive with the above views? Do you just identify with the ethnicity of Judaism?

I'm not offended, since I've had first-hand experience with my gods, but I'm a little confused. (Yeah, it usually takes a cosmic clue by four, but it happens.)

I'm an atheist. I've tried different religions, looking for something that fit. But it isn't there.

Doug, I for one would only be offended if you felt like this about anyone who is in any way a "theist." Seeing as it seems to be this person's antagonism towards those who AREN'T exactly like him, I doubt that's a problem here, so no, not offended.

Actually, more like impressed and rooting you on to higher fires on the next one.
