The Dread Legion vol.II

[Caid Ivik]

Welcome again, all champions of secularity!

Today's main question will be a simple: WHY? Why you still attack the religion, if you know we are unenpaganable and such arguments like "Satan may be a decent guy" are only for laughing? Is there a logic on pathetic trying to find some little mistakes to disrupt the believe? Altough seeing some emp's and TMA's post, I think the plague is spreading even to our phalanx, but I think most work is from the DL's side. If religion want to convert someone, it gives something to him. But what can give an atheist? Is there a reason, some target, which you have?

[Acriku]

You misrepresent my motives. It is simply to discuss religious matters calmy, and they are interesting to me, so why not? Yes, there is my answer. Why not?

[Egeides]

Caid, I think I can see exactly the same thing with people arguing against atheism. Don't you agree? If not, why?

[Edric O]

I normally refrain from making assumptions about other people's way of thinking, but Acriku gives me the distinct impression that he derives pleasure from annoying people.

[Acriku]

I certainly do like to rile people up playfully, if that's what you mean ;)

[Edric O]

But did it ever cross your mind that THEY might not like it so much?

[Acriku]

Obviously. I don't complain about empr's posts against atheism, even though I challenge them. I just don't take many things personally.

[DukeLeto]

Hmm, looks like someone doesn't give a flying f*ck about me repeatedly telling him I don't want to convert... ::)

Caid, STFU and leave us alone. Calling the topic "The Dread Legion" is an insult against Athiests; funny way to start a topic asking us why we insult you (as if we did). ::)

[GUNWOUNDS]

wow a christian riling up atheists... the world has been turned on its head.

[Caid Ivik]

Dread Legion isn't name for all atheist, only for those, who want destroy the believe. Let ignorants do what they want to, they are on their responsibility. I really don't know what is bad on conversion to any religion with good values, it is voluntary thing and gives the life a sense. I have some reasons for which I worship, don't you think? DL is a band, from which shines mostly Acriku, which tries to negate my religion. And I want to know why. Such games aren't funny.

[Egeides]

Caid, he certainly wants to know why you (or others) want to negate his beliefs too since it's a too-side medal. All this is arguing, so no wonder people are taking positions. No?

Hello, calling Athiests "ignorant" is NOT helping your case... ::)

Anyways, I'm not trying to destroy you. If I wanted to do that, I'd mail you a bomb. ;)

j/k

But still, we're just trying to talk some sense into you. If you don't want to advance out of the Dark Ages though, fine. I won't try and make you. ::)

[Edric O]

Caid, STFU and leave us alone.

The point of this topic, Duke, was to tell YOU to leave us alone. We're not trying to convert you; it's the other way around. And frankly, we're just as fed up with atheists not giving us a moment's peace as you are with various theists knocking on your door.

But still, we're just trying to talk some sense into you. If you don't want to advance out of the Dark Ages though, fine. I won't try and make you. ::)

Seeing how most of Europe was Pagan in the Dark Ages, I think we've advanced quite a bit.

Eh? Yes, the Pagans were in chrage of the Crusades. And the Spanish Inquisition, the Pagans did that...Weren't the Romans Pagan? ::)

And frankly, how going from worshipping the Earth to polluting it is advancement is beyond me... ;)

[Edric O]

Get your timescale right, Duke. The Dark Ages ended in the 9th century. The Crusades were waged in the 11th-13th centuries. That's a big time difference, don't you think? And the Inquisition wasn't even part of the Middle Ages - it began in the time of the Renaissance.

[Acriku]

God forbid your faith is questioned Edric ::)

Eh?

Middle Ages, period in the history of Europe that lasted from about ad 350 to about 1450. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the western half of the Roman Empire began to fragment into smaller, weaker kingdoms. By the end of the Middle Ages, many modern European states had taken shape. During this time, the precursors of many modern institutions, such as universities and bodies of representative government, were created.

No single event ended the ancient world and began the Middle Ages. In fact, no one who lived in what is now called the Middle Ages ever thought of themselves as living in it. In the Middle Ages, people thought they were living in modern times, just as people do today.

The term Middle Ages was invented by people during the Renaissance, a period of cultural and literary change in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The term was not meant as a compliment. During the Renaissance, people thought that their own age and the time of ancient Greece and Rome were advanced and civilized. They called the period between themselves and the ancient world "the Middle Age." The adjective medieval comes from the Latin words for this term, medium (middle) and aevum (age).

Acriku, if you actually found a NEW way to question it for once, it might actually get interesting.

It would also be far better if your definition of "questioning religion" didn't include a burning hatred for anything Christian...

[Edric O]

LOL, Duke, when exactly did I say in that post (or any other, for that matter) that the Dark Ages are not part of the Middle Ages?

The "Dark Ages" is the name commonly given to the period between the fall of Rome (476 AD) and the rise of the Carolingian Empire (9th century AD). It is an integral part of the Middle Ages.

[DukeLeto]

Excuse me. I should have been more accurate. A preferable term would have been the "Middle Ages". :)

So you may be right, paganism was common during the early Middle Ages. Not that that is really a bad thing... ???

[Edric O]

Ah, that's better! :)

I think it is very important for people to have an accurate perception of history. That's why it might seem like I'm nitpicking sometimes. And if you're gonna insult me, at least do it right. ;)

[ordos45]

Okay, since this seems to be nothing but questioning others on why they believe as they do...Acriku, I must question something. You seem quite more at ease discussing Pagan Gods than the Christian God, any reason?

[SurlyPIG]

Huh? Atheists converting Christians ? Yeesh now I've heard everything. I think you're taking general announce and denounce style debating as an attempt to convert. I can't speak for other anyone else, but that sure as heck isn't the case for me. To me, as an atheist, trying to 'convert' (if that's even the right word) religious people to atheism would be like holding a barbeque to promote Veganism. Lead by example, live an example.

You are ignorant. And Acriku is a DL member. If that insults you, then you should think about it why it does so.

Middle Ages were a time of wars and feudalism, but also big improvement in philosophy, architecture, music, metal works... Wars were everytime and most bloody wars were in the last century, everyone today will agree they will caused by twisted philosophy of nihilism. Era between fall of Rome and Karl the Great is called "dark" just because we know very few about it.

[DukeLeto]

You are ignorant.

Wow, so...elequant. ::) This is what I'm talking about; we Athiests are a little annoyed that instead of trying to come up with real proof, you theists just fling random insults. ::)

Attacking us is not going to lift the burden of proof from you. ::)
