Mabie sometimes I'll throw in the odd post with a statment htat's not quit necessary, but that's nothing compared to the hatred you so callled "Ethical atheists" have demonstrated.
If you're fed up with what i'm, saying, why do you bother?
If the arguments that i truly put time and effort into forming (like the one above), are that incomprehensible, why , as Achilles said, haven't you blocked me.
I'll tell you why. Because you know I've got a point, but you can't stand just sitting there ignoring it without defending you fellow atheist of the crimes they justify in a "children's book".
ethˇics - (used with a singular or plural verb) a system of moral principles: the ethics of a culture.

Disliking Christianity and being unethical are two ridiculously different things. And LOL at the implication that this is YOUR argument that YOU personally have formed.

I tried to have a reasonable debate, but you're so convinced that the beleifs you hold are the truth, and nothing but the truth.
My experience in this section of H3F has been unpleasant to say the least, but all too reflective of the type of atheists that are present in today's society.
So I can't debate. So I make stupid comments at times.
That doesn't mean you're justified to insult, degrade, and display the tremendous overall hatred you have demonstrated.
Even if I'm ignorant and I don't have a clue of what i'm talking about, what you're doing is unaccaptable.
If I've learned one thing from this section of a HALO forum infested with atheists, its that they're ultimately the hypocrites who show no mercy or respect for their fellow human beings.
From what i've seen, I'd rather be an ignorant person who treats others with dignity, no matter who they are, what theyve done, etc...
I've been on quite a few forums that deal with this topic, and I've openly stated my opinions the same way I have here and have NEVER EVER EVER befor been o appalled by such a group of people who beleive to be the holders of truth in our time.
I'm sorry, but youre pathetic.
If what you copy and pasted makes the The Golden Compass unethical, what does the Book of Job say about God's ethics?

The point of this thread is the movie. New Line Cinema has changed it in the movie. There are no references to the christain church in the movie, so there fore your point in null and void. You also made the point that watching said movie would influence kids to pick up the books and read them. I can see teenagers reading the books, but children, I cannot. Parents will most likely be accompaning their children to this movie (I dont know many children that can drive/pay for their own movie) and they can judge wether or not to give the child said book IF the child would even want it. I dont know many children that read trilogies either, I certainly had no aspiration to read the starwars books after I saw the movie.
I hope I made myself clear.
Anyways, Christians are worried about this movie because it is undoubtedly drawing children towards these books which display quite a distorted and immoral message.
I know this from personal experience, as I as a kid 4-5 years ago, I accidentally picked thoes books up from the CHILDRENS SECTION at Chapters.
My parents had no idea that the books contained such twisted content.
THIS IS WHY CHRISTIANS ARE RAISING AWAreneSS.
TO prevent others from falling into the same trap that I did some years ago.











How am I saying my parents don't read?
Talk about twisting the facts...

Raising awareness is fine, but to boycott is a little over the top, they don't even give the movie a chance. The movie has obvious differences that affect the way they portray christianity. Boycott the books all you want, but leave the poor movie alone.

Are you saying your parents do not read?

Freedom of speech is something that the U.S gives you, and yet you won't even let a movie be put in a theatre because it might drive away people from your religion. Kids who are not mature enough simply won't understand it and will lose interest.

I think it's like the whole Christmas spirit deal. The less people believe in him, the weaker he is, until he finally disappears for good.

I lvoe how you twist my message into things I never said.
THe reason Christians are boycotting the movie is for said reasons.
If you think that's over the top then you don't have a clue what the books
are really all about.

A movie that might turn our nation's youth into a horde of godless heathens? BAN IT.
