A little bit, very much, not at all - those are qualifications, not quantifications, aren't they?
Surely, a quantification of happiness would be to give a percentage, or a place on a numbered scale.
Although, I'm not sure of the point of a subjective quantification, unless you plan to collate the results and offer up some statistical results, like the average happiness of a CS forumite.
It's almost like an open invitation to random strangers to open up a conversation, especially now it's grown quite a bit longer than on my outdated profile pics.
Some of those conversations are a blessing, filled with all sorts of silliness and roaring laughter.
If your bathroom is smaller, you can guarantee that every single part of it is covered in excreta if you habitually flush without putting the lid down.
I did not assume all religious people thought in those ways. I assumed you thought in those ways because of the way you wrote it.
I've reread it and it still looks like you were referring to your own belief system. I didn't know you were generalising about others because you didn't say you were.
That's the kind of self-hatred which some religious people teach, in my experience.
How about, "Everyone is okay"?
"I can't live without saving someone"
What right do you have to 'save' others?
Why do you think that others aren't big enough and ugly enough to do that for themselves (one of my dad's unique expressions) in their own way? Don't they have the right to practise as they see fit, and as you demand for yourself?
Bigotry is the lack of tolerance for other people's opinions, or beliefs.
Pat was expressing his opinion, or belief and you have been intolerant of it.
Prejudice is the act of assigning assumed traits to a group of people based upon their belonging to another group.
You have assigned self-hate and bigotry to a group of people based on their belonging to a group of people with no religious faith. You have no evidence for this blanket accusation.
Only by practising that which you preach will you demonstrate your preaching is worth listening to.
Express your anger to the choir, work through it...and then present your thoughts in public.
Express your raw anger here and you'll just fan the flames of bigotry and prejudice.
I hear your anger and you have a right to your feelings.
But you also said, "If you wear religion it requires humility, acts of service and love".
It might be a good time to find a way of expressing your anger in a more dispassionate way which doesn't involve counter-bigotry.
Wear your anger well; wear it with humility, acts of service and love. In that way you may demonstrate your faith for others to see it in a positive light.
On the other hand, as echidnas trail in a line of up to 10 males following a female hoping to mate, maybe they'd be more suited to the Internet dating scene than world domination.
I've just had a quick feel and within the confines of my own sense of reality, I seem to be fairly warm, alive and generally in a state of existence, bnaughty.
