Are Atheists as Bad as Child Molesters?

[Foster Zygote]

This is a statement made by Stone Island several months ago that he is currently using as his signature:
Call me a troll, but you know what other group [other than atheists] at least 39.5% of the population would say doesn't share their vision of society and at least 47.6% wouldn't want their children to marry? That's right. Child molesters. Make of that what you will.

Stone Island, I get the sharp impression that you are simply here seeking conflict with a group of people whom you dislike (or, judging by the pride you seem to now take in one of the stupidest statements I've ever read, perhaps even hate) because they reject ideas that are central to your personal philosophy. Why else would you choose your current signature? I'm sure a genuine ABD Ph.D. such as yourself is capable of seeing the massive logical hole in such a statement. After all, large numbers of people have also hated Jews, Tutsis, African Americans, Native Americans, Homosexuals etc. Obviously it is egregiously fallacious reasoning to imply that because a group is hated by a sizable percentage of a culture that said hatred is deserved. Granting that you are intelligent enough to know how insipid such a statement really is, I can only conclude that your true purpose in choosing it as your signature is simply to endeavor to offend in a rather infantile manner.

Unfortunately, I think this hits then nail on the head.

Are Atheists as Bad as Child Molesters?

If you marinate either one long enough, they're both pretty good. But without preparation... Atheists tend to be a little tougher; child molesters never quite taste ripe.

Or to convince himself that his hatred is justified.

[HarryKeogh]

So 52.4% of the population would be okay with their children marrying child molesters?

[Safe-Keeper]

So 52.4% of the population would be okay with their children marrying child molesters? That was what immediately jumped out at me, too. After the initial disgust, of course.

28.54% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Maybe that's you're mistake right there, sir.

[Cavemonster]

Almost 100% of all atheists routinely wear shoes.
Do you know what other group also overwhelmingly wears shoes?
Child molesters.
And Nazis.

Make of that what you will.

Or that being a child molester is at least 53+ percent ok. For whatever reason that is important to him/her.:)

That would seem to be the pertinent part of his statement.

Yeah...uh...wow...52.4% of the population is bat **** crazy. So I don't think I have to worry about their approval.

[Herzblut]

So 52.4% of the population would be okay with their children marrying child molesters?
I am not surprised. 60.5% of the population share their vision of society with child molesters (child marriage, age of consent=4 yrs and so on).

[joobz]

97.3% of joobz has no idea what you're talking about.

Well, don't statistics show that 39.5% of the population say child molesters don't share their vision of society?

That 2.7% is the portion of me that doesn't rely on analoration.

There three kinds of lies: lies,damned lies and statistics. (Mark Twain,if I remember correctly.) If you jigger the numbers around,you can make statistics say just about anything you want.

100% of me isn't bothering with Stoney's posts anymore 'cuz it's just not worth it... :)


...don't get me wrong, I'm not putting him on ignore, just ignoring what he's saying. I've got better things to see with my eyes. Same thing I'm doing with a certain Jim "magician"... :)

[ravdin]

So SI is asserting that at least 60% of the population (meaning Americans?) believe that child molesters share their vision of society, and half the population would be all right with their child marrying a child molester?

:boggled:

[fuelair]

In theory, yes he is, just hasn't said it in those exact words. Notice, though, he has not shown up to deny it.

An atheistic Nazi child molester.

[Kthulhut Fhtagn]

An atheistic Nazi child molester.

An atheistic Nazi child molester who strangles kittens in front of children in wheel chairs.

What vicious attacks have been launched at you, Stone? Has anyone tried to insinuate a connection between you and child molesters?

Mayhaps he read something into post number 11. Not sure how, but you know how these things go......

[Rodibidably]

Every one of the child molesters who assaulted me claimed to be Christians.

Make of that what you will.
Just christians, not priests?

[Dancing David]

Most child molesters in the US are Xians. Hmmmm....

Make of that what you will.I was originally going to just quote this, with no additional comment other than the statement "I thought I'd just quote this" but it seems that others have pretty much beaten me to it.

How many atheists are currently on Death Row, awaiting execution for terrible crimes? How many Christians?

I'm just asking, you know?

[Hawk one]

Well, to be fair, most of these are individually (or only a few people at most) molesting children, and as such it probably only reflects the population in general, thus not really meaning anything.

However, if there were to be entire religious organisations who would systematically allow child molesting, or trying to cover it up any evidence that their clergy (or other outstanding members) would do such a thing, that could very well imply that this religion might not be particularly against such deeds.

Now, have any of you heard of any decently sized religious organisation who would try to cover up what their priests etc. have been doing with kids? Hmmmm....
