Howdy-Do

[Billy Bob Jenkins]

My name is Billy Bob and I am a firm, Bible believing Baptist and a True Christian Soldier for God. I am here to learn why atheism appeals to people aside from the obvious reasons. I believe most people turn to atheism as a way to justify sin and ease their fear of Hell. Of course most of the atheists I have met vehemently deny this allegation.

I wonder why atheists seem so alike. Every atheist I have met has been a follower of Charles Darwin. They also tend to be liberals who voted for Obama, and think women should have the right to kill their unborn babies. Why is this?

Howdy!  Introductions are more for letting us know who you are, not for you to tell us what you think of us.

Oh, of course. Sorry. I'm thirty. I have three sons with my wife Ethel. I built my home with my barehands and support my family as the sole bread winner. I am a lumberjack. I enjoy playing the banjo and drinking Old Milwaukee.

Sorry, it wasn't my intention to offend anybody with my previous post. I was just forging ahead. I hope that we can have open and mutually informative communication from here on in.

Somehow...I don't believe you...

Why not?

Look up "Poe's Law" to be sure about what I mean.

Poe's Law states:
“  Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.  â€  

So you are asking me if I am pretending to be a fundamentalist? The answer is "no". I am as Baptist as they come. I'm not sure why you would suspect me of trying to trick you that I am a Christian. Why would someone do that?

Because the internet is full of jerks who have nothing better to do.

For parody. For fun. For self gratification. Because you enjoy creating some kind of conflict. There are many reasons, and I don't care about any of them. The reason it looks like a parody is because of your user name and the stated incorrect ideas of what atheism is matches the stereo type of a southern baptist too well. Either way, the post was offending enough to not require a civil response, but I also refrained from being equally offensive just in case it was a parody.

Hiya Billy Bob.  Here's to hoping we change the obviously mistaken caricature you seem to hold.

Welcome BBJ.

I am here to learn why atheism appeals to people aside from the obvious reasons.

What are, in your mind, those obvious reasons?

I believe most people turn to atheism as a way to justify sin and ease their fear of Hell. Of course most of the atheists I have met vehemently deny this allegation.

What causes you to believe this about atheists you have met? Since we have now "met", log me in as one who will vehemently deny this allegation as well. The way and the reasons you describe are not the reasons I became an atheist. I also have no fear of Hell, nor conversely a desire for Heaven.

I wonder why atheists seem so alike. Every atheist I have met has been a follower of Charles Darwin. They also tend to be liberals who voted for Obama, and think women should have the right to kill their unborn babies. Why is this?

Atheists are alike only in that they are all human beings and have no belief in god.

I am not a follower of Darwin, though I believe his theory to be accurate. Again, we have met.

I am also not liberal, nor did I vote for Obama. I am wishy washy on abortion, rather that people should take responsibility for their actions, and if that means having an abortion because she isn't ready for said responsibility (young; made a bad judgement; rape), then abortion may be the responsible decision. If having the baby is the right decision, so be it. I don't condone abortion as birth control, that is what birth control is for.

Anyway, welcome! And enjoy your Old Milwaukee and banjo.
