RRS declares war on God belief in Chicago
Offline For immediate release:
In response to a threat from a loving Christian, the RRS has officially decried that it is now specifically addressing the irrational belief in the existence of any God or Gods in the great city of Chicago. "In an effort vowing to fight for the mental freedom of all Chicago residents we want to state unequivocally that we are opposed to God belief anywhere, but now officially are declaring a war against god specifically in the windy city" said RRS Co-Founder Brian Sapient. This comes just seconds after "Anthony" a Chicago resident declared war on the Rational Response Squad. The Rational Response Squad has stated it would be willing to meet God on any playground in Chicago, because "We have words for that tyrant." When questioned whether or not he condones violence Brian Sapient stated, "No I don't condone violence, and I'm not willing to act physically on this non existent entity, this is a war to be fought solely with logic and reason."

Oh, he doesn't know what he asked for.... I'm sure there's plenty of atheists in the 3rd largest city in the US.

RUN BRIAN RUN.....RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.....HIS FICTIONAL DADDY IS GOING TO BEAT YOU UP AND TORTURE YOU!
Leave it to a loony to threaten violence. I hope pleanty of Christians who dont use violence read this. This is what people do with that book weither you like it or not PEOPLE DO PICK UP THE BIBLE AND JUSTIFY HARM TO THEIR NEIGHBOR WITH IT.
Brian Sapient only wants a diolouge and debate. He wont spread cooties, he wont rape you. Brian Sapient is not out to force you to give up your belief by gunpoint. He wont burn down your church.
He just wants Christians to stop treating atheists like crap and pretend like we dont exist. And if he can at least get you to think about your own claims, that is a pluss too.
Stop your whining about living in a country where people are different than you. Brian doesnt want you to fear him, but he shouldnt have to fear Christians either. And dispite the crap your preacher tells you, he is a citizen of this country with the same rights as you. He doesnt want to take away your rights dispite what you have been sold.
Inmature people resort to violence. Bullies resort to violance. Be mature and debate us. You are more than welcome to debate us on this forum.
BUT, let this serve as notice to all who think atheists should shut up. Forget it, We wont be silenced anymore. We have as much right to compete with our ideas as any other citizen.
Debate us, we dont bite and we dont eat kittens. But dont ever think you have the right to threaten us. We dont bow to threats. If you can show us good reason to believe, make your case. But dont expect us to blindly bow to your threats.

I think we can all breath a sigh of relief about that.
Rally the troops! The irrational minds shall be our target, and the debate forum shall be our battle ground! Let the deicide begin!

Good luck taking on Wheaton College.
I've got a weird story about the wackjobs at Wheaton college. I played volleyball in college, and we were playing a match at Wheaton. During one of the games, I made a boneheaded play and let out a "goddammit!" out of frustration. The ENTIRE gym went silent. The players on the Wheaton team all stared straight at the floor, as if they didnt want to bear witness to the shame that I was surely about to feel. Some school official went and spoke to the referree, who then told our coach that vulgarity and blasphemy would not be accepted there, and that there would be repercussions if there was any more swearing. A similar occurence happened at Olivet Nazarene College in Kankakee. Nutbags, the lot of them.
I've got a list of other targets you might want to set your sights on in my beloved Chicago, should anyone want them(Willow Creek -- EVIL!). On the bright side, in the time it took me to write this, the Chicago catholic archdiocese probably shut down 3 more churches/schools due to declining attendance.

So, because while you were playing on their stadium (a private college), which enforces it's own rules (which you should be aware of) and you felt that disrespecting them in such a way was perfectly acceptable that they are "nut jobs"?
Sorry. I don't follow.

They are nutjobs for having such rules - and I'm surprised they would be allowed to have their own if they are part of any sort of conference.

Actually, I would suspect that swearing might be "against the rules" at any type of school. The "vulgarity" part of the fussing would be acceptable, but the "blasphemy" part is silly.
By the way, are the xians in Chicago boycotting us now, too?

I assume by when you say "nutjobs" that you mean "mentally ill".
Please justify that opinion else I will have to declare it just another one your blind prejudices you seem to appeal to on just about every post you make on this forum.
And yes, I have browsed this forum for some time before posting here and I know of the content you post. It doesn't impress me.

A release of frustration natural to the person releasing it (who probably was not aware of the organization's rules at that time) in the heat of competition should not have been treated like an earth-shattering event but as a simple mistake.
If Christians want to evangelize and bring others into their fold, acting like arrogant prigs isn't a good way to do it.

In a manner of speaking, sure.
Oh, please, anything but that! I don't know how I would be able to go on living.
I couldn't care less.
"The powerful have always created false images of the weak."
I don't see your opinion as justifiable. They went into that stadium knowing the beliefs of the people they were competing against. Furthermore, they were given a warning, not kicked off the field or shot. And I fail to see how they are attempting to act out some sort of evangelism when asking their guests to show respect to their customs and beliefs on their own property.
The attempts to reason this in favor of the objectors seems a silly and sad excuse for condoning disrespect.

That's a good question. Since I boycotted them, it's been hard to monitor their activities!
"The powerful have always created false images of the weak."
You are right, but his point was about the reaction of the others. He did not mean to insult anyone. They could at least have showed his mistake in a polite way and understood the personal circumstances.
Your initial post seems to indicate that such reactions are and will be common, which I do not regard as natural or benevolent in any way.

It's also a very normal thing to do in sports - very silly to forbid it (except maybe in little league.) If they don't like it they should form their own all-church league.

If they don't like it they can drop out of the conference - simple as that. If they are such fucktards that they don't like freedom of speech they should leave the US. I personally think the easily offended should be placed in an institution - so they don't have to be worried about being offended and the rest of us can keep our freedoms.

No, I actually didn't say "should have said nothing", but "should have used a more polite way to say it", I don't think any of the moderators modified my post, did they?
Actually, my response was way too far from the intention to take anything to the extreme. I was just making a connection with:
...that seems to point out that such attitude of profound religious disgust on others is common in that particular college.
Would you care to explain your statements, and what you actually meant with that initial "Good luck..." sentence? Because right now I think it is you who has some explaining to do, not me/us.

The fact that they had a rule against that sort of language was not the issue -- they are a private university and they can make whatever rules they want concerning the use of their facilities. The main reason why the mention of Wheaton College brings up that memory is the sheer horror on the look of the Wheaton players and students in the stands. It was if they truly expected lightning to strike me down on the spot. It's not like I suggested a school dance where kids of opposite gender would touch or anything. Geez.........

As someone born and raised within the constructs of the Chicago christian system, attended christian elementary school, high school, and university, and someone who has lived here all of his 32 years, I assure you, there would be nothing unexpected about the main players in the Chicago christian community. I dont think anybody here isnt familiar with Dominic Crossan, or Marty Marty, for example.
"The powerful have always created false images of the weak."
1) I already said you are right, twice even, I don't dispute he made a mistake that offended. But if they were "good neighbors", perhaps they would have found a more diplomatic way to solve the problem.
2) Wow! What grandeur! Tell me something: what makes you think that? Because I've debated Christians that told me something similar (not about Chicago, of course) and they turned out to be less than a challenge. What makes you think you're smarter and better prepared as a whole in Chicago's Wheaton College?
