True colours
I don't say that the Buddhist doing so would consider himself as being manipulative. Nor the mormon or the JW. More accurately, he is being manipulated by his boss, Satan.
Nice to know that religious bigotry is still alive and well in Ireland.
I don't see that much of a difference between this post of yours and this message

Re: True colours
I wouldn't go machine gunning mormons and the like.
I wouldn't imagine that you would.
That's religious tolerance for you.
No it isn't, it is fear of breaking God's commandment.
But if I am right then they are wrong and it is not bigotted to say so.
You cannot prove who is right or wrong, you may all be wrong, but you are still a bigot, and not that much different from the Critic.
If the Critic knew that he was right that the 'beating to death' of the Jew for rejecting Jesus must be enacted, then he is as right as you are and his life ban is unjustified.
And I am right therefore it is not bigotry.
Okay, prove to me that Buddhism comes from Satan, should be easy enough.
That I cannot prove I am not a bigot doesn't not mean that I am one.
You are contradicting yourself. You say that you are correct and therefore not a bigot, now you are not sure?
No more than proving the world was round made it round.
The world isn't round.
Brian.

Re: True colours
Hardly. I break Gods commandments all the time in thought word and deed. I would prefer not to and do take steps to avoid doing so. I don't fear God in any craven sense.
Some are easier to keep than others, some are percieved to be 'bigger' than others. The murder one could be a bit more serious than the wanting to hump your best pal's wife one!
Sorry. I should have said "prove to you". Me, I'm as sure as I need to be.
And the Buddhist is as sure as they need to be that their beliefs are true.
How do I know that Christianity isn't from Satan, and that Jesus was satan in disguise, sent with false teachings to lead the masses away from Yahweh?
Bloody eck, you are scraping the bottom of the argumentitive barrel today Brian.
I know. But I know how you fundies think the world is a flat disc, just keeping you in touch. And I have a f*cker of a headache!
Brian.

Blasphemy, blashemy, they all have it blasphemy
I do get a little pissed with the likes of Jar and Ringo and Brian
How can I blaspheme when I know there is no God? I am right about this, because I know I am right about this, and all theists are wrong. It is impossible to blaspheme
