It would be a better friend if it could also hide the fact that the Frantard posted, in addition to the fecal contents of said posts.

Francis, considering that we're the minority here in America, wouldn't it make more sense that we are the "Noah" and that you are the angry rabble? Think about our concerns: Global Warming, Fresh Water dwindling, a movement against birth control, and the Christian solution is often to pray or talk about the rapture? Who are the ones who should be scoffed at? It seems like we're the ones trying to prepare for what lies ahead.
And is there anything really logical about a world-wide flood? The whole story seems not quite right. God killing everyone and the innocent animals instead of trying to preach to them? If Noah was right, he was right for the wrong reasons. Theres nothing logical about hearing voices in your head and trying to follow them.
In fact the bible speaks nothing about what the populace thought of Noah. For all we know he had some good friends that helped him build it and was selfishly kept out of the ark when the rains came.

For all of those who become infuriated when I post, I am just following my truth as illustrated by the story of Noah.
Remember? He was compelled to build an ark because of a future he saw. The rabble ( that would be you) laughed in ridicule and chastized Noah for doing something so preposterous. Noah ignored the rabble (that would be you) and held fast to his truth. Noah was not swayed by idiotic insults, lazy screeching, charges of witchcraft, or allegations of insanity.
Nope, he lived amidst the rabble, and then the rabble dies in the flood.
Of course historically, they probably don't all die everywhere, but within the flood zone, quite possibly the Black Sea area, many were killed and more rendered homeless.
So sling away rabble! I've got Noah's story to lead me. And by the way, whether the story is in the Bible or not, Noah's adventure contains some pretty compelling truths.

Are you planning on building a boat, Francis?
By the way, have you read my excellent comparison between believing in your god and believing in mine? (By the way, I am NOT an atheist. I am a Leprechaunist.)

Ghoulslime’s God Attribute Comparison Series: Chapter 1
As a courtesy to our resident Jesus crackers, I’ve made a simplified comparison guide for those who are considering whether to worship the Leprechauns or the angry and psychotic god of the Christians. I have tried to keep this very simple so that it is understandable to even the stupidest godiacs such as Lurker and his less than lovely but lively mascot Lily. Let’s examine some of the basic attributes of these gods!
Judge for yourselves which deities seem more reasonable to believe in.
Ghoulslime’s God Attribute Comparison Series: Chapter 1 – The Great I Am Versus the Leprechauns
The Great I Am - The Judeo/Christian God
The Great I Am created the world in six days according to his own written account. (Poor documentation is the first sign of a god who is mismanaging his universe. Apparently he was drunk with power when he filed the report, or maybe he just plain forgot how long it took. After billions of years, one is bound to forget exact dates.)
The Great I Am claims to be omniscient, omnipotent, and perfect.
The Great I Am claims to be unchanging.
The Great I Am is an angry and jealous god.
The Great I Am is also a god of love.
This omniscient, omnipotent, and perfect god created all things, including evil and sin.
This god took only six days to finish our world. One must hand it to him that he did a pretty fair job in under a week, what with putting a sun in the sky to give us light by day and all of the pretty stars into the heaven just to give us light at night!
This god also created humans. He made man out of mud and he made woman out of one of man’s ribs.
Humans were given dominion over all of the other creatures of the world, well, except for the animals that eat humans and the microorganisms that live inside of humans.
This god made humans to be ignorant. He commanded them not to seek knowledge. When in their ignorance and curiosity, which their omniscient, omnipotent, and perfect god had made, they sought knowledge, their god was very angry, and exiled them as punishment.
After a reexamination of the world that he had created, this omniscient, omnipotent, and perfect god decided that he didn’t like what he had made. Most of his little human meat puppets were not doing what he wanted them to do! Apparently this perfect god’s creations were flawed, this omniscient god’s means of communicating his will to the mere mortals was flawed, or this omnipotent god didn’t have the authority to correct the situation…or did he? Buwahahaha! The unchanging god decided to destroy all of his creations except a few of his favorites. Most of the humans were not obeying his dictates, so the god of love killed them with a flood. This flood also killed all of the animals, those goddamn evil animals that had to be punished for the sins of men, except the ones which he magically fit into a little boat. What magic? The same magic which conjured up the water needed to cover the surface of the Earth.
Once the god of love had finished his mass destruction of life, he was happy again. The few people and animals on Noah’s boat made lots of babies, whom the powerful god I Am used to populate the world with people and animals again. He filled up all the remote areas of the world with humans and animals once more and cleverly separated them into unto unique groups of race and species. He got the kangaroos to Australia, polar bears to the North Pole, and the elephants to Africa. That’s some serious animal herding worthy of an omnipotent god!
The fair and just god I Am decided to choose a group of people as his favorites. He looked at the world, studied it carefully…hmmm…should it be the Chinese civilization…Greeks….Egyptians…tropical islanders….nope! By golly, those goat herders in the desert were exactly what the omniscient god I Am had in mind when he created humans! They followed the rules of wife beating and slavery precisely the way he had intended it when he laid the foundations of the universe!
Once the Great I Am had chosen his team, the real sportsmanship began. He commanded them to destroy their enemies. The god of love caused the death, maiming, rape, looting, and slavery of the competitors of his chosen people. How glorious this god must have felt when his chosen people gird their loins with the entrails of their fallen enemies and made great rejoicing unto their lord!
War sometimes gets boring to omnipotent beings. But there are a lot of things to be amused about when you are an omniscient god! If you get tired of watching children die of dysentery or watching hyenas tearing a gazelle to pieces as it tries to run away, you can torment people! I Am, in his love, likes to toy with people, destroying their families and lives to test if they are faithful to him, or commanding them to do things such as killing their children to prove their loyalty.
Now the Great I Am seems to be a chaotic sort of manager, but in His defense, he did issue a pretty clear memo to his children to make it very clear what he wants them to do. The perfect god who wanted humans to be ignorant, punished them for being wise, and destroyed most of them for not doing what he wanted them to do, decided that it might be a good idea to actually tell his children what they should do. Of course, he communicated this message to his chosen people. He wrote his message on a rock with his magic finger. Of course he put as the most important law that people should not have any other gods. After all, he is an insecure perfect god who has no confidence that he will be the most appealing god. He also threw in some other nice ideas like not killing people. And honoring your parents – if you do not then you should be killed. And of course you should not think about fucking somebody else’s wife. You can look at their children. Shit, you can even marry their children or enslave their children and lay down that pedophile pipe! But the Great I Am forbids that you think about another man’s wife’s excellent set of tits.
Now, one of the more reasonable precepts of the Great I Am’s logic dictates that somebody must be punished for the evil and sin which the prefect god’s plan includes. All good plans of tyrants and perfect gods must include the use of rewards and punishments to compel those who are being controlled to toe the line. Punishment for not obeying the perfect god’s law is banishment into hellish fire where one is burned forever without being consumed. The reward for obedience is the privilege of being in the presence of the Great I Am forever! Wow! What a prize! Unfortunately, the omnipotent god I Am was having a challenge with his statistics. The numbers were starting to look pretty bad for a perfect god. It seems that one third of all of his subservient creations in heaven decided that enough was enough, packed their knapsacks, and got the hell out of the tyrant of love’s house. If you will recall, the majority of those who did not rebel in heaven, were killed by a flood for being wicked when they got their chance to come to Earth. Hell was filling up fast, and even the Great I Am couldn’t build the blast furnaces fast enough to burn the new comers sufficiently. Heaven was emptying out, so the Great I Am, the perfect and unchanging god, decided a human sacrifice would be the divine trick for reducing the numbers of his creatures that were being burnt in hell forever without possibility of atonement, because he loved them.
The Great I Am sent his son who is also himself to Earth. To prove his divinity, He did some magic tricks to prove his powers. Unfortunately his magic tricks were not sufficient to convince anyone besides a few of the members of his chosen people. But it is all part of his great plan. He provoked his chosen people to kill him. He prayed to himself to ask himself not to have to be sacrificed. But the omnipotent god had no choice but to go through with it, to save us all from the terrible suffering which he has made for us in his infinite wisdom. He offered up the human sacrifice to atone for the sins of those he had created, crying out to himself while he was dying to inquire of himself why he had forsaken himself. Apparently the perfect son of the perfect god who was also himself didn’t quite understand the significance of the whole situation.
The Great I Am finally covers the payment for the sin of his creations if they will just do exactly what he tells them to do. In order for his silly ape dolls to tap into the super magic of his benevolent gifts, he makes up very important ceremonies such as a washing away the sin ceremony, and my personal favorite, the charming act of eating his flesh and drinking his blood.
Fortunately, the omniscient, omnipotent, unchanging, and perfect Great I Am has made his position very clear to the inhabitants of earth so that all will be spared the torments of hell and be rewarded with the gift of control. In all of his power and wisdom, he has made sure to communicate his will clearly to his worldly children in the perfect word of the one and only god worth following, the Great I Am. Read about his flawless plan in the Bible, available in bookstores near you!
This Bible is the primary source of evidence for the existence of the Great I Am. A warm feeling in the believer’s tummy is a close second.

The Leprechauns
The Leprechauns don’t make phony claims about having invented the universe. They are wise enough to know that it is the dynamic product of matter being continually changed and reorganized. They do know that there isn’t anybody at the helm of the ship, so they decided to take matter into their own hands.
The Leprechauns don’t require anything of humans in order to receive the blessings of the Emerald Queen. They are just happy to lend a hand.
The Leprechauns hope that humans will eventually figure out their own set of rules to abide by, based on logic and reason.
The Leprechauns will reward everybody who dies. The way they see it, anybody who has suffered through mortal existence is owed some kind of reward. Leprechaun afterlife will be spent roaming the Emerald lawns, drinking excellent Leprechaun ale, and engaging in sexual liaison with hot green Leprechaun go go chicks. (Or Leprechauns with pricks depending on one’s taste! And it is rumored that Leprechauns make up for their small stature with stiff and ponderous shalalees.)
Only the evil followers of the Great I Am will be denied entrance into Leprechaun heaven until they have tasted enough shalalee ale to humble them into being a little bit less arrogant and crazy.
Proof for the existence of Leprechauns is abundant. Every living person knows in their heart that there are Leprechauns, if they will only listen. Where would Leprechaun lore come from if there weren’t really Leprechauns? People in the past have seen Leprechauns or know somebody else who said they saw Leprechauns. What other proof does one need? The fool in his heart says there are no Leprechauns! Don’t be a fool! Believe!

I like the story of the Velveteen Rabbit.
It is about a stuffed bunny who gets forgotten and then thrown into the garbage. But later he turns into a REAL bunny!
It is a little bit sad in some parts but it makes me really happy at the end when the bunny becomes real.
Maybe you can be like the Velveteen Rabbit. You are lost, sort of in the intellectual garbage can, but you could become a real thinker some day.
I hope you have a happy Halloween, Francis!

Not quite right? I'd take that a step further and say that it's batshit fucking crazy and anyone who believes it literally, or would even attempt to bring it up as a "moral lesson" (aka Francis) is far beyond retardation-- as well as Shitlord. Is their even a word or phrase that truly captures the essence of Francis anymore?

Mog,
To answer your question, no. National minority or majority status has no bearing on whether one belongs to rabble. It's conduct that counts. It' language that's used.
In fact, it's quite strange that those posting photos of feces and phalluses are entirely UNABLE to see themselves as others see them. Whatever else one might conclude, a necessary conclusion is that very many atheists are in serious denial about anything connected in any way to religion.
As far as Global warming, the Iraq Debacle, and the massive Republican attack on our Constitution, I doubt seriously that many really believe in your position.
It looks to me like very many atheists believe in privilege and that they should be the beneficiaries of privilege. In that way, they fall right into the Republican agenda.

You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

I know you guys tell me I shouldn't feed the troll, but it seems that this time this bigot said even more crazier and entertaining things than he did before. I could swear that next post he's going to claim that we run Hollywood.
Anyway, to get back on topic, are the Yankees going to keep A-Rod or will he wind up with the Red Sox or the Mets?
