You know why I saw the "religion and government" thread ending "well" slash sarcasm? Because EVERY religion and/or government thread ends up getting shut down. I'm suprised the "Big controversy thread" hasn't gotten nuked. There are simply too many differing opinions, with too many different people who can neither keep their mouth closed or let a supposed insult to their faith/belief in government/whatever just GO. Really folks, I have it in my little avatar line for a reason: "It's just the internet."
Also: Irony:
Me: I see this ending well.
Skunk (Not the same skunk from the other day): I know you're being sarcastic, but this will end well. Unless someone takes it out of context.
Later down in the thread:
Horse: There are two reasons people are religious. 1. they're taught to belive it from the time that they're children, and 2. They're looking for answers to some of life's biggest questions. Face it, few normal people would belive any religion if they weren't presented with it until their 18th birthday. You have to be indoctrinated into many faiths to even consider them. The other group of people tend to either be uneducated, or looking for a unique social experience when they take up a religion. These folks uasually take up some alternative faith such as wicca or a neo-pagan beleif system. (Relavent part bolded)
Skunk: I don't think I picked neo-pagan because I wanted a unique social social experience, and I know I'm not uneducated. Are you trying to start an argument? Because addressing someone's religious figures as "imaginary" is a very good way to do it.
Tell me FA, should I post something to the effect of "Epic Fail" or simply just "Ironic, ain't it?"

FA+

Epic Fail. Definitly.
On a side note, I love how people will say something like that on the net, but if you ever met them face to face... they never said anything like that!
Dumbasses.
