Most normal people did as well.

Now you're getting it! Asshole...

Heh, win-win.

Oh, you grow tired of this thread? Good, now shut the fuck up, you pretentious prick.

Well then stop talking and fill your talk hole with copious amounts of that stuff!

Dude, don't do that. Unless she has the same mental disorder, you're just gonna fuck her up for life.

It's not like they just accepted him at his word. They investigated his claims, witnesses were called and all that. If they had found that the man had not attempted to rape his daughter, he would have been charged with murder. Crazy as it sounds, and contrary to popular belief, us Texans aren't just a bunch of stupid hillbilly chucklefucks who kill eachother for no reason.

Exactly. Which is why I don't judge you for being a Mormon.... Hahaha! Nah, I like to kid the Mormons, but they're alright... Mostly. A few are kinda weird, but hey, at least you aren't one of those Scientology fuckheads.

Nah, I think he was doing the world a service. Punishing him for defending his daughter is just telling the populace, "Hey, you better not defend yourself or your family, because you'll be punished. Just rely on the police, aka, the government for everything." It isn't the police's Job to protect you. Sure, they will when they can, but it should always fall on you to protect yourself. That's why we let ourselves have guns.

I disagree. It was hardly vigilantism. He caught the rapist in the act, and beat him to get him off of his daughter. That hardly qualifies as vigilantism, more like defending his daughter. If the rapist had been arrested and then released, and then the father hunted him down and killed him, then that would be vigilantism, but that's not what happened.

Oh, shut up, you beer snob. What do you drink? Does it taste good? Then stop talking and fill your talk hole with more of that beer you like!

I guess I was thinking of the wrong disorder, but the fact that you have aspd explains a lot.

Oh... Well alright then. Oh, just for the record, even Christians tell those people to shut the fuck up. And, don't forget, Christians do a lot of charity work, and a lot of the work done to find the missing kids or cure the diseases is done by Christians. Atheists only make up, like, 20% of the population... 3% if you want to get technical. The 3% relating to people who actually identify as atheist, the rest of the 20-ish % is made up of agnostics and other non-religious peeps. 70-ish% identify as Christian. That's a lot of people doing good work, while praying for success.

You know what, you're right, I'll retract my strawman statement, but can we at least agree that your million dollars bit was hyperbole?

Who prays for a cause and goes on to act like they donated a million fucking dollars? Can somebody say, "strawman"?

What if prayers are all you have to offer?

I think you're the mentally ill one here. Do you have some sort of disassociative disorder, or something?

That makes sense.

No, you can't tell me what it feels like to walk on the moon. You can make a really good guess, but you don't know for sure unless you go yourself. And what the fuck does that sentence mean? "Anyone who is damaged by mental trauma via rape wasn't- it merely revealed or expanded upon the trauma..." What the hell does that mean? That little girl didn't have any trauma to be expanded upon BEFORE SHE WAS RAPED.

You may be able to observe the moon, and draw conclusions based on those observations, but you'll never be able to tell me what it is like to actually be on the moon. Considering we're talking emotions and psychology here, that would be like telling me Neil Armstrong didn't feel whatever he felt while on the moon, because you observed the moon from afar, and it can't possibly be like what he described.
