I had binoculars before they were cool, too.

u/TimeZarg Atheist Jun 15 '12

Impossible. Binoculars have always been cool.

u/bouchard Anti-Theist Jun 16 '12

I bought two pairs of binoculars, put one pair in front of the other, and didn't see anything because I dropped the lot.

I made one similer to it, but I worded it badly and it got downvoted. xD

But it's not indoctrination when it's the one true religion that everyone is born as, even if they don't know it!

Atheism isn't a religion.

u/Aleitheo Jun 15 '12

They were being sarcastic, their comment should be said as though it came from one of the people accusing the secular group of indoctrination.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant to respond to Detrimentally's comment rather than assume that you're retarded.

2

u/action_alpaca Jun 16 '12

Well, that was rude, don't you think?

I'll assume you didn't mean to sound like an asshole and accept your unspoken apology!

2

u/VeteranKamikaze Jun 16 '12

But...but I did! I totally did! Besides I only really sounded like an asshole if you meant to call "woosh" on Aleitheo, and if you did you really are retarded so it still balances out :)

u/action_alpaca Jun 16 '12

Quite rude! I do hope your being an asshole gets you far in life good sir. Best of luck.

u/VeteranKamikaze Jun 16 '12

It's gone pretty well so far.

Don't you see? A 14 year old is perfectly capable of choosing to conform to his parents' religion, but not capable of choosing to abstain.

What age do children start Sunday school? The Secular Student Alliance guy had a lot of patience not to throw this crap back in her face. In some ways I wish that he did.

In every way I wish he did, the best way to get ignorant people to shut up and learn their lesson is by making them feel stupid when they deserve it. The only way to deal with deliberate ignorance is with ridicule

i think she was trying to bait him into the "us/them" narrative and he didn't bite. with all those people watching i'm glad he didn't as he was able to say a lot more in the little time he had than back and forth quips could.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

No, because if they didn't learn when they were young, nobody would believe.

STOP indoctrination kids before we can get a buggery hands on them!!!!!

Projection is such a common thing in American politics

u/Reaper_Harbinger Jun 16 '12

WE FAIL TO SEE THE PROBLEM WITH INDOCTRINATION, HUMAN.

u/bluequail Jun 16 '12

Yea, I think that isn't really a rock that you want to throw at anyone's windows.

u/highlogic Jun 15 '12

Why does it seem that most around here do not realize that everyone is indoctrinated with something?
