[Closed] Running scared.

man you should ne scared of religion god will smite your ass

mmm

I'd say as a free to use website it actually provides free speech and in some cases soapboxes......... :+)

I haven't got an ass. I did get a ride on a horse once, though.

I enjoyed that film with Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal.

Loved that film.

It's not the volts that get you, it's the amps.
How many amps are there?

Enough to push a train!

Priceless.

Yeah but Woppit, you're a massive hypocrite cos you don't believe anyone should have the freedom to follow whatever religion they want to, so you're hardly one to talk about 'freedoms', are you?

And with you, it's not about 'free speech', but using every possible opportunity to attack religion and those who chose to follow particular paths.

So, far from 'STW gagging free speech', maybe it's just that most of us have simple had enough of yer constant attack attack attack all the flippin time. Change the record mate. So you don't agree with stuff religions say. Big deal. You can express your views without the constant need to belittle, ridicule and insult others, can't you? Surely you're intelligent enough to do that? Other people seem to manage it ok.

woppit seems more fundamental and extreme in his beliefs than anyone else on the forum. not believing, is still a belief system?

disagree with woppit and be mocked and damned.....

seems strangely familiar?

Change the record woppit.

Agree with iDave in that I've never heard anyone so vociforous in their condemnation of others beliefs than you. What is it that you find so frightening about other having different views to you? Is it a power trip? Do you feel the need to dominate and belittle everyone who may have faith?

disagree with woppit and be mocked and damned.....

Never seen woppit and TJ in the same room.

GAGS free speech does that mean they stopped you being rude to people again?
Can you not just find a faith based forum and go crazy for few weeks and get it all off your chest?

Elfinsafety, iDave,Coyote, & Junkyard x 2

It's nice to finally have someone say so. To be honest, I've been afraid to say the same things as these guys in the past, because there just hasn't been the popular movement against Woppit's extremism, and I have been left wondering if I was alone in thinking he had some issues to work out.

I love the way you guys just can't resist reading posts that you apparently, don't want to...

If the thread title had been 'Woppit has a pop at religion again', I'd not have read it. And I'm an atheist FFS!

Woppit; most folk on here are well up for a polite and respectful discussion/debate about religion/philosophy type stuff, but you're like a stuck record, and it's just boring. Just makes you look a bit sad and needing of attention really.

Such as this stupid attempt at provocation on the Religious Architecture thread a week or so ago:

[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/elfins-tuesday-architectural-appreciation-thread-this-week-religion/page/3#post-2408817 ]

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the most high (Elfin, and possibly barnsleymitch) - everything expressed in the architecture and design of these buildings, is vile.

Many folk were just happily enjoying that thread, and it wasn't about Religion, just the architecture Religion has brought us, but you had to go and try to spoil people's enjoyment. Why? Why not just live and let live, like the rest of us? And you are so, so, totally and utterly wrong anyway.

I love the way you guys just can't resist reading posts that you apparently, don't want to..

You're a clown. You see a thread about something to do with Religion, which you claim to despise sooo much, and yet you can't resist opening it! And when you see that folk are happily getting on and enjoying the thread, you have to come along and try to spoil it. Why not just ignore it? You might find you receive less vitriol if you did. Or maybe you're so desperate for attention, even negative attention somehow satiates your fragile ego?

Utopia's not the place for you, is it?

Wear you fatwa with pride Mr Woppit.

I can understand why the powers that be don't want one though.

See the thing about yer Woppits, is he'll spout all manner of inflamatory crap on here, but he doesn't actually possess the stones to voice such onions in Real Life. 🙄

+1 for Elfin

And on another note

Nice red sky tonight Elf... gonna be a good day

I tell you what, that's a lovely sunset out there, isn't it? Beautiful.

Actually, Woppit; why do we find things like sunsets and that so beautiful? I mean, we don't [i]need[/i] to find them beautiful, do we? Serves no 'purpose' for us to take pleasure in enjoying a natural phenomenon, surely?

It's quite interesting the freedom of speech thing on websites. Not that applies here. STW won't get taken to court, just decapitated or blown up, but...

It's the publisher (STW) that carries the responsibility for the words that it publishes, not the forum member, who is basically in the clear.

It's actually pretty sobering if you run a major forum.

Yeah, but can you not see the irony, in someone who doesn't believe in the freedom for others to believe in whatever they want, demanding freedom of speech himself?

And don't get taken in by his 'oh look I'm a victim of censorship' schtick he often does in such situations; he's a victim of his own zealotry.

I struggle being objective when it comes to religion. Normally if someone has an invisible friend we lock them up or medicate them.

So no, I don't see any irony.

I know. I'm going to hell.

'Invisible Friend'.

Yawn...

Exactly. It's so 2,000 years ago.

What's 2,000 years ago?

A couple of millennia?

[b]Tues, BBC 2, 2100hr - Bible's buried secrets.[/b] Watch the one shown on week 1, 2 then the one shown last week the 3 ... make up your mind.

Wowww ... it all started very wrongly and worst still they are with us now.

The battle of demi gods ...

😯

p/s: garden of Eden ... eerrmmm ... Kings (human) garden created for the "god" ...

FFS. This guy has an "invisible friend" but I'm struggling to think of anyone less in need of locking up. See, if religion gives us people like this, it can't be all bad can it?

Cracking show that one. Not just because of the presenter.

EDIT: The one with the greek chick, not the old dude with the invisible friend.

Going quite well for a bunch of people who don't like what I've got to say on the subject.

Presumably, Fred thinks I have no testicles because he keeps getting ignored on his date request.

yes it is going well everyone thinks your are annoying. What a win this thread is for you.

I like what you have to say very much Mr Woppit.* Please say more.

*I haven't being paying much attention though. I never do (to anyone, not just you). 🙂

God is watching Mr Whoppit:

[img] [/img]

And so are little green men 😆

Athiest too btw but I believe if god exists, then he is a man as only a man could f*** up so badly.

Presumably, Fred thinks I have no testicles because he keeps getting ignored on his date request.

No; it's cos you were most vociferous and insulting on the forum prior to a forum bike ride, where you din't actually say a single word to my face, and were as quiet as a mouse. 🙄 I just find that a bit cowardly, tbh. Give it all the biggun from behind the safety of a keyboard, but don't have the testes to do the same when the person is actually physically just in front of you. I'm well up for a discussion/debate with anyone off here, I don't need to hide behind a keyboard like some; I have sufficient confidence in my own views to be able to do so quite comfortably.

It's ok though; not everyone can be a gobby little shite on't forum [i]and[/i] in Real Life like me. 😀

So, come on then; why do we find sunsets beautiful?

Because sunsets look awesome and make my tummy feel funny but not in a immodium sort of way.

Awesome.

It's ok though; not everyone can be a gobby little shite on't forum and in Real Life like me.

Because they're smashing Fred. As are my wifes boosums, my new telly, and curries. Oh, and pies. Praise the Lord!

[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/running-scared#post-2438673 ]

Why? Why not just live and let live, like the rest of us?

Good idea this live and let live, much better than bearing a grudge.

I am actually Lovely too, 5th. This is true. all part of my general Awsumness. 😀

They are, Brother Barnsley, they are.

Sunsets and that, not your wife's boosums.

No, I mean, I'm sure your wife's boosums are lovely not that I've seen them or anything I wasn't saying they weren't oh I give up. 😳

Elfinsafety,

I think you should watch the above BBC 2 programme.

You see it all started there with the concept of "one god" but according to the programme that concept is flawed. Evidence been shown ...

🙄

I don't bear a grudge, Don, I'm just saddened that the same person always has to have a pop at the choices made by others, and tries to impose their will on others as though he is righterer than them, somehow.

TBh, Woppit's comment on the architecture thread just made him look a bit of a Silly Billy really. I think it was just 'ooh look other people are enjoying themselves and I'm feeling left out I know I'll go and be nasty'.

Nah, Woppit would just be better off if he untwisted his knickers, is all. Then, he might get on with more folk, and be universally loved, like me. 🙂

I met a particularly obnoxious forumite at a MX race meeting once. We were both racing. There was the opportunity to do him considerable damage. Which had crossed my mind.

He met me before the start and presented me with a bag of chocolate buttons.

The git.

I've met that Ernie Lynch in Real Life.

He's actually really quite horrible and nasty, and has made me cry. 😥

did he spurn your advances?

You should have given him chocolate. You can't break a man's leg when he's given you chocolate.

Elfinsafety are you trying to have a fight with someone else just because of their forum comments? 😯

🙄

I'm having a night in. I found the religion threads interesting.. why sunsets are beautiful is a good q. Carl sagan suggested that man was 'the matter of the universe, contemplating itself'. But science is a religion in the eyes of some. Simply thinking clearly is good enough for me.

[i] I mean, we don't need to find them beautiful, do we? Serves no 'purpose' for us to take pleasure in enjoying a natural phenomenon, surely?[/i]

A genetic predisposition to vivid colours might serve a purpose, it may just be that we don't know what that purpose is (or maybe it is known, but just not by the people on this forum), or it might be like male nipples and just a by product of something else.

Enjoying natural phenomenon serves a purpose among those who enjoy them - we question the meaning of it and it leads to further understanding. Perhaps leading what some would call enlightenment, of some kind.

I still find it funny that Woppit can so viciously put down other peoples' illogical and baseless beliefs but at the same time believes the stupid hifi claims about interconnects, speaker cabling and so on 😀

Does he behead those who burn hifi manuals?

Probably but I'll bet he does it in a particular way that makes it sound fundamentally better. Probably has to tie their hands the right way to to avoid induction interference or something.

Probably has to tie their hands the right way

Exactly.

A remake of Mildred Pierce? 😯

Is [i]nothing[/i] sacred???

I'm watching a docu on the Minoans, on More 4. All that Greek mythology stuff is fantastic!

Thank God(s) for Religion! 😀

The Tudor king is dead, long live the Tudor child king ... that's no good, ... Long live the virgin Queen!

Thanks Chewkw; I might have a watch of that later, or download it actually.

Thanks Chewkw; I might have a watch of that later, or download it actually.

I just hope that all those who have watched the programme don't go around demanding her to be burnt alive or beheaded, simply because her evidence actually damned the notion of one god or creator god.
