You're mistaken. It wasn't witty.

" Though it seems like people such as yourself".... that is not the lead up to a personal jab?

Proud of what? Apparently proud of your whining about your self-inflicted fate. You do nothing but lie about what Bell has said and is actually doing. Your argument is only "common sense" (as if ...

He's not a theology professor. He teaches intercultural communications.

False comparative. Really? You make this far, far too easy.

You know, teaching theology does not mean one must believe in a religion. Theology is comparative religion where you are fairly well versed on all types of belief systems from different periods f...

It is refreshing to hear comments like this from a Christian on the board. Most often we see religious people posting hateful and foolish things in response to "our" posts and comments. I am sorr...

He was working for a university. Also, he's not an atheist.

This comment is full of derp. And not just any grade of derp. Herp-a-derp. That is all.

It's satirizing people who think Christians have surrendered all of their critical faculties. That does not mean they can't lift a fucking ladle.

My path to atheism began by reading the bible, and deciding God was evil and that I couldn't follow him. 16 years later, after being wiccan, a generic pagan, and finally an agnostic, here I am. A...

If you needed surgery, would you choose a surgeon that has the following sign in his office: "I don't believe in surgery." ??

I'm puzzled as to why a church would employ an atheist and why anyone on either side of the fence would expect them to. That doesn't make any sense. And why he would want to be employed doing wor...

Who knew you could get so much blow back for just trying to go a year without believing in the an invisible friend.

Yet again, the double standard amazes me.

I made a statement about judging. You made a sarcastic personal jab at me. Two very different things good sir.

"We rational people don't need any more irrational people calling themselves atheists for utterly fallacious reasons." And who is doing that?

Generally speaking, atheists are far more knowledgeable about theology than most. Practicing Jews and agnostics also score very high on the theological knowledge scale. Christians? Not so much. S...

Do we know his personal stance on that, and whether his (former) employers supported that ban? Because if not, I don't think that's a fair assumption.

Bell needs to find a real fucking job. Stop all your religious bullshit people and let him return 5 cent cans and walk miles to get food at the Krishna temple. You religious fanatics need to lear...

If he stopped believing in a supernatural sky daddy because he was mistreated, he would be no more rational in his position than his believing in one because it feels good. We rational people don...
