Why the habit of entering posts/cartoons making fun of God believing people?

Very odd you'd spend your time campaigning against a Deity, especially the Judeo-Christian God you believe (have faith) does not exist.

I don't see God believing people making fun of atheists on this board.
Personally, I don't give your atheism a thought unless something in your posts reminds me, this thread an example.

Interesting how much time you spend thinking about God...and how apparently it drives you to make disparaging posts. So much for "progressive tolerance".

Methinks she doth protest too much.

You'd be thinking wrong...again.

I posted an observation...
and a question, which you avoided and didn't answer with a lame attempt at deflection.

You can belittle God believing people to your heart's content.
It only reflects poorly upon you and reveals "progressive tolerance" for what it is: bull dung.

Loc: Nearer the horizon
This AM local chat radio had a segment promoting the new film “Metamorphosis: The Beauty and Design of Butterflies.”

The film apparently attempts to bolster support for the Intelligent Design myth by empirically examining the metamorphosis of the caterpillar. The cartoon captures what I presume is the gist of the argument.

Should ID be given equal weight to evolution? Not in my book.

You posted a silly straw man: Why the habit of entering posts/cartoons making fun of God believing people?

There is no "habit". I had a smoking habit, but kicked it 11 years ago.

If straw men are the soup de jour, then Why the habit of just coming into the forum and sniping at other member's threads? Not that there is anything wrong with that, but why not start some of your own? Most of the very few threads you've started have been bringing Beavis' threads over this board rather than posting an original thread of your own. It's ok that you do what you do, but I was just curious about your "habit".

Oh, and less of a straw man, Why didn't you simply post, "No god created that 'chair'. It was simply a rock that someone sat on." rather than proclaiming my habit because I found what I thought was a cute joke illustrating one consistant religious argument. The "habit" of course is non-denominational and cross cult. Christian, Judism, Wiccan, Buddist, Hindu. It's all the same. There are just more Christians posting here than any of the others.

That's no straw man, it was directly related to you and your post.

A habit is a recurring tendency, a usual manner of behavior, a prevailing disposition of one's thoughts, all which apply to your posts, numerous in number, disparaging God believing people...the term you borrowed and enjoy using to identify them: skygodders.

Concerning your former tobacco use, what you had went beyond habit into addiction with nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Congratulations on quitting, btw.
Get regular chest x-rays so lung cancer doesn't sneak up on you. My mother discovered hers by annual x-ray 16 years after quitting. 10 years post op now.

I think the mythical god Hades was not in the sky, so I have equal disregard for the supernatural creations of man, sky or not. And, maybe I misunderstand Christian mythology, but don't the football players point up to heaven when they make the touchdown? I figured ya'll thought is was up there somewhere.

Except, of course for Jehovah's Witnesses who believe it will be here on earth sometime later. Hmmmm. Does a JW wide-receiver point to the ground when he catches a touch down? wink

No, thank you.
The world is a more pleasant place with even one less person taking up public space with nicotine stench on their hair, breath, clothes, and oozing from their pores.

No "maybe" about it...and thank you for confirming my observation.

So, in Christian mythology, where is heaven/god/the football player's blind grandfather? And, why are they always pointing up there?
