Comments on: It’s National What Day? http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2008/04/01/its-national-what-day/ by Hemant Mehta Sun, 27 May 2012 17:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Richard Wade http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2008/04/01/its-national-what-day/#comment-147682 Richard Wade Wed, 02 Apr 2008 07:17:01 +0000 http://friendlyatheist.com/2008/04/01/its-national-what-day/#comment-147682 He Who Will Be Forgotten Long Before Death is a troll not just on blogs but in everyday life, degrading dialogues down to his level wherever he goes. If you really want to cause him <em>dis</em>comfort, pretend he doesn't exist and ignore him. That's his greatest fear. He only keeps up his chattering to reassure himself that he somehow matters, incessantly and impotently barking like a tiny, annoying dog. Don't feed his appetite for notoriety, let him keep starving in the oblivion he so deeply deserves.

A smart person says it to the world." I'm not sure who first came up with it, but it wasn't me. This would be my reply:

Too bad creationist zealots are fools 365 days a year." But it's still not as good as the one about eatin' dem babies. My response: “That’s pretty clever, Ray.

Five minutes worth of comparing a christian's supernatural beliefs with reality will reveal the foolery in all it's glory.

I thought, wow, that was pretty clever of some Christian. The problem with Comfort is that he's not funny. [sigh], I do long to be adequately mocked.

(Matthew 5:22 NASB) "...and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca,' [According to Strong's, Raca means "Oh Empty One, i.e. thou worthless: (as a term of utter vilification)"] shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. But then again, is anyone surprised? Christians aren't the best example of humility and consistency anyway.
