>Most of us are pretty used to being insulted and belittled all over the place.

That's not true at all.

Let's not pretend like Christians tend to be the disenfranchised minority.

It's one thing if we actually were talking about the small percentage of Christians actually in countries where they are a disenfranchised group... but largely, we're talking about Christians in privileged positions that are delusional in pretending otherwise and often claiming they're somehow "the real victims." It's absurd.

There IS a difference between "punching up" and "punching down."

Christians very much tend to not be some disenfranchised, subjugated group.

Realistically, Christians often wield a far greater amount of power than other groups and it's just ludicrous to not recognize that when those being marginalized want to lash out in some fashion then it's going to be against the system and those in power... which is NOT the same as those with power using that power and marginalizing others.

So... you didn't want an answer?

Wouldn't life be easier if you tried to communicate better?

You were literally just asking for that...

You're welcome, by the way.

>Crikey!

>Foster's

>culturally specific

So... you just believe anything you see on a television commercial, eh? That... and you saw Crocodile Dundee once, no doubt.

Foster's is something like the 20th most popular beer in Australia. It's Australian for "piss water."

Your comment is all kinds of ignorant, if you genuinely care why someone might downvote ya.

Time is relative. That's just your perspective, man.

From my perspective, I won't ever meet anyone born later than me that ends up older than I get before I die.

Our sun is 864,000 miles in diameter (more than 100x wider than Earth and obviously the biggest deal in our solar system).

Earth is 93,000,000 miles from sun.

Neptune is 3,000,000,000 miles from sun.

The edge of our solar system is kinda debatable... but should at least be considered to be 9,000,000,000 miles from sun.

Proxima Centauri? About 25,300,000,000,000 miles away. And that's our nearest neighbor in the vastness of space and "close" to us - there's a reason we don't use either miles or kilometers when talking about space.

Basically... there is just so much more "nothing" in these solar systems, with even so much more between them, that merging galaxies are akin to putting a few golf balls in a football stadium and then randomly throwing a few more onto the field. Odds are unbelievably low that any of those golf balls come into contact with each other and, instead, they all just sit on whatever grass they happen to be on and never really notice fact that there are actually more golf balls on that field. And, of course, that's simply imagining a completely flat 2D surface everything is sitting on...

I believe the poster you are responding to would in fact say thoughts and prayers are always the same amount of ineffective, whatever example you wanna run with.
