But since religious freedom means getting to pick out which branch of christianity (screw you, spell check, I am not capitalizing the "c") you want as long as it isn't Catholic or LDS. So you can be a Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, whathaveyou.

Life for the sake of life means nothing.

My father was once acquainted with a Lutheran church that believed their sect of Lutheranism was the only way to get to heaven, for example. If they can’t even accept other Lutherans, they sure as hell aren’t going to accept Baptists or Methodists.
remember bro randyyeah not even other fundies
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2012/01/31/alexander-aan-under-attack-for-blasphemy-suddenly-converts-to-islam/Couple of days ago someone called Alexander Aan from Indonesia was arrested for a posting on his facebook proclaiming God doesn't exist. Indonesia essentially bans atheism; you must subscribe to one of six "official" religions; and the main religion is Islam. Couple that with the increased streak of radicalism in Indonesia, we get a situation like this.Indonesian media is now reporting he is "repenting". He might continue to be charged with blasphemy though.http://news.monstersandcritics.com/asiapacific/news/article_1688076.php/Indonesian-atheist-might-embrace-Islam-after-arrest-police-say
Ok seriously, is nobody even going to try and avenge my man-burrito?

There are very few problems that cannot be solved with a good taint punching.
Isn't he from the Teens-4-Christ board?

(and yes, I'm an Indonesian.)If you live in Indonesia wouldn't being a member of this board put you in danger of being arrested? If that is the case I would suggest using software that makes your IP address harder to track. (I know this stuff from the time Anonymous tried to start a revolution in Iran, though I wasn't involved directly)
Okay, so no story. Just Brother Randy being Brother Randy. Got it.
Hey, I'm not an atheist.
Quote from: jumpingjackflash on February 02, 2012, 03:55:41 amHey, I'm not an atheist. Doesn't matter. Its absolutely imperative you never reveal your true self on the public areas of this board. Because its still possible that by association with this board you could stilll be entrapped. Alexander Aan was arrested for blasphemy, not necessarily for being an atheist.That said, where in Indonesia do you live? I'm in the dirty Malaysian capital of KL.Edit: And the obligatory calls for his death, which underlines my point about discretion.http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/calls-to-behead-indonesian-atheist-alexander-aan/495308
