JZ, what's the calf circumfrence on those boots? Those boots are hot -- I'm a 9, but I bet I could wear 'em with chunky cocks.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
In my experience, they don't even need to say it to hear *unprompted* that they're wrong, and this is living in one of the more secular bubbles in the US.
Whoops. Yeah, I got that even in "we don't talk about personal things"-riffic MN.

But there's a double-standard there, isn't there? Saying "Prayer is magical thinking" is interpreted as disrespect towards religion, but saying "Prayer is real" is accepted as a neutral statement of religious belief.
I think Dawkins and others have made this exact point, with varying levels of frustration.
(Ahahaha. I've just realized I'm a culturally atheist vague theist. There are so many levels of hard to explain there.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I bet I could wear 'em with chunky cocks.
BEST TYPO EVER.
And I'll need about an hour -- I left them at home so I'll have to run down there to check (pretty sure Hec is out and about selling things and Emmett is home but doped and flu-y).

I definitely see your point, maybe intent is the key here. A atheist who says "prayer is magical thinking" knows and either intends to or doesn't care about offending the believer, while saying "prayer is real" is not intended to offend.
(and FTR, I am engaging in an intellectual exercise here. I absolutely respect everyone's belief or lack thereof. I suppose that technically, I'm Christian, so am biased in that direction, but am trying to be neutral :) )

Saying prayer is real can only be read as not intended to offend if you assume religion as the default state of humanity. It's a function of religious privilege in that respect.

I don't know... I think it sounds like magic when you are talking to someone who feels they need to ask God whether to turn left or right or something. But that may not be because I'm a religious skeptic...that might be a very Lutheran thought, or at least via Lake Wobegon it is.(all of GK's Lutheran jokes seem about spot-on from here.) But I wouldn't say that asking God for help with something is like waiting for the tooth fairy or something...heck, I ask myself. You never know. I might hug it out with the divine eventually...the Eastern stuff helps some, but I'd feel like a poser trying to convert(I admire George Harrison very much for that. Also for not deciding in the mid-seventies that India was so last year.)
