My Blashphamy Challenge Response...

Hello. My name is Sarah. Most of my entire family is catholic, and so I was raised catholic. When I was 6 years old


I began developing free will of thought and a rational mind. I have always been a sponge that absorbs knowledge and
so at the age of 4 and ever since, I have an endless amount of questions for everyone about everything. I've always

wanted to know
How and why things work and exactly what they are. So at 6 years old I began questioning my mother and
Grandmother, not out of disbelief because my fragile mind believed everything they said, but rather out of

I wager you have never tried eating scabs and boogers on the job.

Animals, people, and how evolution may or may not play a role.

This is from another blog that ended getting way off topic. Below is the pasted convesations up to the present, feel free to comment constructively.

How is it possible that people, of all mammals on Earth have a moral bone that says murder is bad; (because basically all other animals kill their own and have no reprecussions) or rape is wrong (again because basically all other mammals have recorded occurances of such happenings with no reprecussions) or any other wrongdoing for that matter. Some mammals eat their young. Where did our moral understanding that eating our young is wrong come from? We're all from the same species or unicellular organism... right...????

Atheism is based on faith.

I think the next time someone uses the "Atheism is based on faith, because you do not know everything." someone should point out that "Atheism isn't knowing, it's belief. I think you are talking about agnostic/gnostic, not atheism/theism."

Morality

I think leaders like Moses, Buddha, and Ghandi have guided mankind to have morality superior to that of dogs.

I don't think all the progress should be trashed because a few people think they are the supreme beings of the universe.

my opinion on gay pride

I have heard athiests protest the lack of gay rights in an accusatory way against xtians and christianity.

I don't believe that people choose what turns them on and what doesn't. I suppose everyone is different in that regard.

I also don't think it is my right to an opinion on what mature adults do concentually with other mature adults.

All that being said, what makes being a homosexual better than or more important than being a booger eater, or someone who eats their scabs?

Seriously.

Bodhiharta, again.

I'm curious as to if bod has ever been on the webcam.

I doubt he has, but I need to know.

Quote:
They have had many people on their talk show and a week or two ago I showed up at their chatroom on stickam and you should have seen the look on his face when I started posting in the chat room, he completely lost his concentration and then said "We don't like Bodhitharta here" after he tried to respond to some of what I was writing he became ruffled and shut his show down to knock me off line. Now, I wasn't being hostile or offensive so "Why the hell wouldn't they want to talk to me" If they are so strong in their position it should have been an easy win for them but instead they opted out and 24 hours later he banned me from his chatroom just like he banned me from his web-site when my posts became to influential to his members. You must understand the RRS has a fast growing base of many "new" atheists and they are easier to guide to the truth than someone who has like perhaps yourself who thinks they "know" the truth.

I think my mom is a fundementalist

I've thought about this before, but only in a joking, jocular sort of way. Ever since my dad was hired for his latest job (~2005) my mom has become increasingly 'fundie' in her belief. My dad's current job schedule precludes my dad's ability to regularly attend church service (there are no blue laws in WA), so he eventually stopped trying to attend. My mother on the other hand, has continued to go to church regularly; I think this is what is causing her 'fundie-ness'. The fact that she and my sister are the only ones attending church in my family probably causes a holier-than-thou mentality. Perhaps my mother thinks the rest of the family is becoming un-godly.
