i need not say another word you said it best
now let get back to the true spirit of what this is about please
thanks your friend Joe
You're wrong Rich - it's a quote that pertains to spirituality and represents a philosophical position...
It's also not ignorant to understand what others' point of view is...if it offends, sorry 'bout that - I literally didn't think much of it while posting it on a f**king chile pepper site...
If we create the "pithy atheist freedom of speech thread," should we rename this the "only quotes that glorify God thread"? Is this the hot pepper and religion site?
Wow - you must know millions & millions of Christians and Muslims to make any justification of your tolerance comparison between the two groups...you know I'm a statistician - but then again, you totally watch unbiased news coverage of Muslims and you can just tell...LOL
It's funny you know - when you and I talked in the chat about this, I made it clear the quote I posted wasn't my opinion...yet, you state that it's my "arrogant argument". LOL - are you confused??? You didn't see the part about me not being an atheist - lol...why don't you just make up my post for me next time...
Either way, we don't need to get into a never-ending, un-winnable debate about the existence of God...though I'm sure many of you secretly know the truth...

Then stop posting here and leave the (*ahem*) in your own words... "f**king chile pepper site..."
While you are correcting spelling, you may want to look at Chile, dude. It's a Republic. We talk C-H-I-L-I peppers here.
Who is L-A-Z-Y now?

(Now before anyone jumps on my case over this post, my quote does meet the criteria of being a spiritual and/or philosophical. If you're offended by it, that's on you.)

You just made a self-refuting argument. You are obviously intollerant of our views as well.
Anyhow, I see a thread lock comming up on this.
yup me too

im not usually the type to open a can of worms of any size, but it angers me when i see such narrowed minededness on the part of those who when i disagree with there views jump up and down like children and say ("wah your intollerant!!) when i only showed love in the way i expressed mine, they wanna say that we are the ones who the bad eggs when in reality, there the ones that always seem to be the ones who start the threats,the yelling and screaming when there not getting there way, but im the one who is intolarant??
whats up with that
im hoping this debate will lose momentum before a MOD or ADMIN comes on and locks it, i would like to see things just go back to the original reason i started this thread, and i sincerly hope that before anyone post on here again they will take the time to see what the actual context of this thread is about, if they would there would not be as many problems
the content of this thread is not just "religious" look at the name itself it allows for "non religious" entries as well
i asked that it would be kept clean and i didnt say it but it is impied that it should be positive and the hope that all could glean a little something uplifting and helpful from it
THAT WAS MY ORIGINAL REASON FOR THIS!!!
SOME THINGS I ENTERED ARE NOT "RELIGIOUS", BUT POSITIVE HELPFUL PHILOSOPHY!!!
thats the nature of this thread and im hopeing it will go back to that!!
IM STARTING TO LOOK AT THE WORD 'RELIGIOUS' AS A DIRTY WORD, IM NOT A RELGIOUS MAN!!
I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH MY CREATOR THAT SURPASES HUMAN INDEVER!! (where the heck is spell check when you need it??)
I LOVE EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT THERE WORLD VIEW IS, AND IN SPITE OF WHETHER A PERSONS ABILITY IS THERE TO RECIEVE IT OR NOT IS OF NO CIRCUMSTANCE, I STILL LOVE YOU ANYWAY!!
as they say down south "NUFF SAID"
THANKS YOUR FRIEND JOE
Here are a few of my faves from people you may be familiar:
"The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic." ~Charles Darwin
"I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of." ~Clarence Darrow
“[The Bible] has noble poetry in it... and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies.” ~Mark Twain
“The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.” ~Carl Sagan
“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” ~Saint Thomas Aquinas
“Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There`s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.” ~Bill Gates
“Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.” ~Thomas Jefferson

So let me see if I have this right. This topic is for people to post their favorite spiritual and/or philosophical quotes, just as long as they are clean, correct? Go back and read the very first post. That is all the OP asked of people when they started this thread.
If the OP was looking for specific spiritual/philosophical quotes that fit in with their world view, they should have been more clear about that, IMO.

THATS FARE BUT THERE IS ALSO CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PEOPLE FEELS
DO WE NEED TO DRAW PEOPLE A PICTURE?? WORLD VIEW OR NO WORLD VIEW IF YOU SHOW HATE ITS HATE NO MATTER HOW YOU CANDY COAT IT
MUST EVERYTHING ALWAYS BE IN THE FINE PRINT SO PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK FOR EVERY EXCUSE TO BE HURTFUL AND LOOK IMPORTANT IN DOING IT?
I ASK YOU?
dude,,,, did you read my last post? understand one thing this thread is not for atheist,agnostic quotes and opinions.... dont take offense or try to make your point. your opinion is respected and valued with lots of people,start a thread for it im sure you will have all kinds of followers. QUIT with the bashing and proving your point . "THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS THREAD WAS STARTED FOR" feel free to start a thread,but quit with the nonsense! thank you and enjoy the thp,theres room for everyone just sometimes you have to find the right threads,,,no one wants to talk about container growing in the hydro threads! you get my point?
AMEN
