[Mr. Pancakes]

assumption.

Troll better. Being wrong over and over so I can continuously correct you is boring.

why would you assume that I am a troll? I am just trying to point out your assumptions.

There is no way that Greek philosophers actually believed in the gods. Those were created and written about to keep the lay people in line.

True. The noble lie comes to mind.

And stop sucking all the cock.

Lol, and homophobia enters the thread. Fantastic.

Filatio is possible for all.

To infer it as a negative thing to an obviously male user make it a homophobic statement.

Greek boys had to suck cock

Some logical assumptions can be made with adequate information supplied. Illogical assumptions and logical assumptions should be distinguished.

No, aside from kicking puppies for fun I like to let everyone know that they are inferior on a regular basis. It's part of my religion, deal with it.

Fuck you bro. The thought that you need an external morality speaks negatively about you.

Why would you make that assumption?

Title explains it pretty well. I come from a very religious state (Texas) and I am clearly a minority in that sense. Other than that, I'm 100% white.

Not sure you know what an assumption is.

Which are completely independent of racial makeup, of course. This is why we can clearly see that atheists are unique in the atrocious treatment they recieve. I've heard that nearly 1/4 of atheist males will be incarcerated at some point in their lives. This cuts across economic factors and just goes to show how much the state hates non-believers. Preach it, reverend.

Incarceration and atheism. It isn't clear which is the dependent variable and which is the indepedent variable.

I don't need an all-knowing space daddy to tell me not to be a bad person. If anything, I have a stronger sense of morality than you do because I am a good person based on my own accord, not out of fear or through external guidance....

You said you were .

Doesn't mean I'm an atheist. Could mean I'm a host of things or a combination of several factors. All I ever claimed to be was 100% white.

OP - I'm in the Deep South, and applied only to local schools. I made a passing mention of my atheism in my PS. I felt it was appropriate in the grand scheme of the essay, which was partially about listening to all sides of an issue and being comfortable holding unpopular opinions. Some people told me I should remove the reference, but I left it in, with good results.

[fatduck]

unfortunately douches are heavily over-represented in law school.

OP pretty much got his answer. This has gone on long enough.
