I smell...religion.

It's a miracle that PMQ's parents didn't drown him at birth.



How about not trolling a good thread with your pathetic semantic interpretations. Go be a wet blanket someplace else.

You're the best Greg

This is like my 10 does not exist thread. People proclaim that an event is miraculous way to easily.

[Beancooker]

I don't put my helmet on and think, "God, please perform a miracle and let this helmet do its job".

I pray something along the lines of "God, please look after my sister, and let her stay safe. Please be the necessary fibers in her Kevlar to save her life today."

So yes, everyday I pray for a miracle.

We're gonna remind you of that the first time you get your pee-pee wet.

Helmet... Wear it.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

He was lucky...nothing miraculous about that.

I don't even know why you guys are arguing about it. Everyone's idea of what a "miracle" is varies. It comes down to your faith or lack there of.

And taking pot shots at PMQ based on religious grounds is way classy fellas.

Might as well go get angry at a midget for being so damn short.

It's good to know NICO is so intolerant.

[RCA]

You guys are making a big deal about his comments and it isn't necessary. All he did was express that he doesn't feel that it was a miracle. Why the insults and back lash?

EDIT:Posted before reading ScorchedNX2K's comment. What he said.

[infinitgkid]

Luck: The man was shot in the head and bullet did not penetrate the headgear.

Miracle: The man was shot in the head, bullet penetrated, brains all over the wall, man gets back up, does his job, and goes on with his life.

...flame me

Luck or Miracle, I'm glad the guy came out alright and it's even crazier that he still went back into the mess. I applaud his dedication, honor, and bravery!

[MinisterofDOOM]

If the helmet saving his life wasn't a miracle, the fact that the bullet not killing him got him off the roof so the rocket that blew it up didn't kill him was.

I don't believe in luck.

Quit being intolerant of people who don't believe in intangible / non-definable things. And people of faith.

And taking pot shots at PMQ based on religious grounds is way classy fellas.

You brought that into it.

In fact, I don't see where ANYONE brought religion (except you - "i smell religion" and him - "walking on water" comment.)

In fact, you do him a disservice by trying to defend him... Do you think he's too stupid to hold his ground, or are you just overprotective of the mentally deficient?

Might as well go get angry at a midget for being so damn short.

Why not? It's ok for you to bash people of faith, so why not?

It's good to know NICO is so intolerant.

You're ill-equipped to make such a blanket statement. Support your position, or you're just a kid making noise.

BTW, did you use a stepladder to get on that high horse, or did you get up there by some miracle?

I notice this happens here a lot. Slight complaint about it because I know religion isn't in most people's lives, but I'm a man of faith and I don't try and convert people, and if I tried to I would get banned or bashed, why do the non believers get to bash religion and get away with it?/complaint

[PoorManQ45]

...why do the non believers get to bash religion and get away with it?/complaint

Because a non-belief in something isn't bad. Believing in something that others dont believe in and then trying to support it means you are pushing your beliefs on to others. That's against the rules

[AZhitman]

Wrong.

Re-read what you wrote.

To clarify WHY you're wrong, and to what extent you're wrong, here's an example:

I'll believe in what I choose to believe in, and support it whenever I please.

That goes for MORE than my faith. That extends to my integrity, my character, my independence, my origins and my destination.

But I've never once tried to "push my beliefs" on you... so your analysis is flawed. Badly.

For a seemingly intelligent person, sometimes your failure to grasp the obvious is disturbing. You might want to steer clear of a career in debate, analysis, politics, or public speaking.

BTW, your statement above could apply to a non-believer as well - Because a non-believer (in anything) HAS a belief as well.

[PoorManQ45]

The topic at hand was "why do the non believers get to bash religion and get away with it".

I can say "god is a fictitious character".

That is not a religious statement.

If you say, "God is real, and here's why..."

That is a religious statement.

See the difference?

[dusred]

religion isn't in most people's lives

I've heard that 80% of Americans are religious. It's the 20% that have a problem with it that you hear all the time.

[AppleBonker]

Wait, "God is real" = religious statement and "God is not real" = not religious statement?

[PoorManQ45]

Wait, "God is real" = religious statement and "God is not real" = not religious statement?

semantics

Contrary to what religious people say, the lack of a belief in a religion is not a belief in itself...

Are you sniffing glue?

Any halfway intelligent non-religious person would say, "There is no God" is a belief.

(I'm not a religious person - I have a faith, though.)

Seriously, it's time for you to stop. You're outmatched, as usual.

In fact, you're about 3 pwnings behind. Best to quit failing before we lose count.

[PoorManQ45]

So what you're saying is that if i don't hold the belief that there is a heaven, that means I automatically am classified as having a belief in nothingness?

I'm not getting it. You're speaking in definitives again. It's not you're a 1 or a 0. You can be 1~0.

[RCA]

(I'm not a religious person - I have a faith, though.)

Just curious, what does it mean to have "a faith"? Also what is your faith?

If it is against the rules then I would appreciate it if you could email me.

[AZhitman]

No. It means you believe there is no heaven.

That's a belief.

Just curious - Did your parents have any kids that lived?

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

A miracle is religious domain... you are the one who proclaimed the head-shot as such... so you and the others are the ones who brought religion into this thread. I was just supporting someone's right to believe otherwise.

The fact of the matter is you are still arguing over a retarded subject WHICH CAN'T be defended OR supported and then calling the opposing side a moron for not believing as you do.

IT'S A MIRACLENO IT ISN'TYES IT ISNO IT ISN'TYeh HUHNuh UH

Is what this thread boils down to, hence the midget line.

QUIT FORCING YOUR VIEWS ON ME!

[wa-chiss]

PoorManQ45, I do recall you being the first to comment on religion (Other than sentrastace who said nothing of a miracle) seeing as you think the word "Miracle" is always directly related to nothing other than religion.

Was him getting shot in the head, and living, amazing? Yes. By definition, that would be a miracle.Was him getting shot in the head, and living, extraordinary? Yes. By definition, a miracle.Was him getting shot in the head, and living, unexpected? Yes. By definition, a miracle.

Oh, by the way, when a magician performs a magic trick, you expect a trick. Therefore, not a miracle. Bad analogy.

[numbnuts240]

hit me up on aim. or shoot me an e-mail.

[PoorManQ45]

Just curious, what does it mean to have "a faith"?

i can answer that without breaking the rules.

Having "faith" means to blindly follow something, whatever it may be, without rationalization or reason. To simply "believe".
