So this evening I was reading up on a blog post that I had been having a discussion with another user about.

We were debating the point, (I was totally winning, obviously) and then suddenly the other user decided that it would be best to let me know that I have been mislead by the godless communistic and leftist media and then proceeds to lump me in with said godless communists.

Now, I've had far more pleasant and rational discussions with actual godless communists while passionately disagreeing with them on a variety of issues, so I had to wonder if maybe the godless commies weren't being unfairly maligned.

But anyway...

I ask you, o great and wise people of the godless communist media of NSG, when have you had an experience of someone being completely and utterly wrong about your beliefs? Was it here? There? Everywhere? Did you ROFL?

Most people are totally wrong about my beliefs. Meh, that's just the price you pay when you think for yourself.

Most people assume im a Hick Republican...


Then theyre shocked to find out im a Brainwashing Godless Commie, ;)

Most people are wrong about Wicca as well. These are the sources they consult when it comes to Wicca.

1. Their priest or pastor, who proceeds to tell them that Wicca is a Satan worshiping, black cat/chicken/virgin sacrificing, baby eating cult.

2. TV shows/movies like Charmed or The Craft where apparently I can form fire balls, and actually morph into someone else.

3. Internet, where this one poster totally knows a Wiccan, and then goes on a rant that you really can only find on Alex Jone's website. Of course the Internet is also popular for those "Wiccans turn Christian" stories, where the "former" Wiccans backs up 1 and/or 2 on the list.

4. Finally, at the bottom, very few people would actually consult an actual Wiccan.

I was ROFLMAO some time after the event. I shall brave the catcalls and sneers, and declare that, beneath this towering intellect with a vast library of conservative logical tomes, I'm a relatively sensative guy. :$

I got called an America-hater and a nazi (by someone who knows I'm Jewish, and all because I maintain that the US's actions in Hawai'i were illegal)...but never godless

I've had a few funny ones here. I remember someone once informing me that I only felt a certain way because I was a black man, which was more than a little surprising to me. :tongue:

Yeah, though now a Christian, I spent a lot of years in the occult community. I know the difference between reality and pop culture regarding Wicca. At this point in space-time, it's not my way. But I don't care to see idiotic persecution, either.

For some reason No Names Left Damnit thought I'm a woman (Still don't know where that came from) and of course a number of people have labored under the impression that I'm a native Japanese, but that one is a bit more understandable.

But yes, usually I end up laughing about it.

Everytime I call myself a feminist, people assume the wrong things about my beliefs. It's why I use that term. I get to discuss gender equity when people make stupid comments. It's a great 'in'.

Most people think I'm way more serious here on NSG than I am. It's okay. I've gotten used to people claiming I'm virulently anti-USian for example. They can't back it up because my posts don't support that, so I don't care. I always love people telling me I was molested as a child when I bring up my sexual proclivities.

The best lesson I took from my divorce is that it doesn't matter how well someone thinks they know you, and how well they think they have you pegged...you are who you are despite their very flawed view.

ive had people get annoyed at my insistence that my stance is correct.... i had to stop posting in one thread a long time ago because i decided that my calm restatement of my position was acting as flame bait to whoever i was debating with who kept flaming me....

but, other than being called a troll now and then, ive never had a serious amount of confusion over what my beliefs are. but then i AM a godless commie.

Ill be honest I thought you were female until you started talkin about your wife, lol...


Although, now that I think about it, that still wouldnt automatically mean you were male, lol...

I ask you, o great and wise people of the godless communist media of NSG, when have you had an experience of someone being completely and utterly wrong about your beliefs?Occasionally, and yes shaking my head and laughing is usually the best response. I've had it happen here (can you avoid it on NSG?) Way back when, maybe even pre-jolt, another poster insisted that I was really a Christian and only saying I was an atheist to try and make him look foolish.

Was it here? There? Everywhere?Paul McCartney, is that you?

Well, you all are godless commie muslims to me, that's for sure.

^ This picture explains my entire belief system.

I'm surprised at the number of people who think I'm a Christian just because I have an ethical and moral center. It seems agnostics, atheists, pagans and all non-Christians (except Jews) are immoral and will murder you, rape you and molest your children because God, through the medium of their pastor, isn't telling them not to.

I got called an America-hater and a nazi (by someone who knows I'm Jewish, and all because I maintain that the US's actions in Hawai'i were illegal)...but never godless
I didn't know you were a Jew! :eek::p:eek:

Possibly, although if it did happen I didn't care enough to remember it. I try not to get involved with those types of folks, they tend lower the collective intelligence in the room and I pride myself on hangin' with the brains.

Well, you all are feminist homosexual PETA member godless commie muslims to me, that's for sure.

Added for effect.

I didn't know you were a Jew! :eek::p:eek:You must be one of the only ones here who hasn't seen his penis.

You must be one of the only ones here who hasn't seen his penis.
For once in my entire history at NS, I'm ecstatic that you're correct.

Apparently I'm a right wing nut job. Make one little point about how the Muslims are working with godless Liberals to destroy civilization, unless we water board them in secret prisons and they Label you forever.

A mindless, communist , socialist , moron , leftist , Obamabot , Jewslave , blind are the words to describe most Americans

I ask you, o great and wise people of the godless communist media of NSG, when have you had an experience of someone being completely and utterly wrong about your beliefs?

Here and elsewhere I was called anti-American by people who are in dire need either of a dictionary or of the shame necessary to preclude them from using such an idiotic ad hominem copout. Does that count?

People also think I'm a communist.

Oh HotRod, you've been Turned! *breaks out pink champagne*

I've been assumed to be male, on the perfectly obvious grounds that mods are always male. My propensity for Bible quotes has made some think I'm Christian. And using words like "propensity" in conversation makes some IRL people think I'm stuck-up, the ultimate Aussie sin.

I enjoy living up (or possibly down) to all these views as long as I can maintain the fiction.

But it's not easy when you're sober.

I had a friend in school who's "mastery" of logic was amazing. One day he informed me that, because I didn't believe in god, I must be a commie.

Friend: You don't believe in God? Then that makes you a commie!

Me: Huh???

"Friend": You don't believe in God. Commies don't believe in God. So you're a commie!

Me: Run that by me again...

"Friend": You don't believe in God. Commies don't believe in God. So you're a commie!

I spent 10 minutes trying to point out the faultiness and he just kept insisting on it.

Yes, I ended up laughing and walking away...

Only once that I can think of somewhat recently.

In a class .. one of my fellow students called me an atheist. I had said something negative about religion at one point .. when they were all jolly talking about it in a class that had absolutely nothing to do with religion. We were there to learn a job skill. Anyway .. it pissed me off.


But I just, after a few seconds told them no .. I wasn't an Atheist .. I believe in God .. I just don't like religion.

I know now .. they totally didn't understand what I was saying. And that I said the exact same thing in response to being called an atheist as what I had said prior to end up being called an atheist.


But what was I to expect .. I was surrounded by blacks, and the whites thought being a republican coincided with being a Christian.

The one guy in the class understood at least somewhat though. He was a former Catholic who switched to Islam and then left that after he went to Iraq.

He did mention to me that he thought the trinity was belief in 3 gods , not 1. I told him it's not (to me , or in general in Christianity) .. but I couldn't explain it to him.

I was accused of being an ardent Republican and Bush supporter once for attacking protectionism.

And it's funny how left-wing and right-wing economic nationalists will alternatively term you right-wing tools of the rich and left-wing "multiculturalist" traitors to Western civilization if you support liberalizing immigration rules.

Uh... 何だHell? No, seriously, I can't make heads or tails out of what you were trying to say.

I sometimes get a lot of flak for my support of Israel - people lump me in with the "Israel can do no wrong, and any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism" crowd. But that's different from someone being completely wrong about my beliefs.

I just have to laugh at the people who think Catholics are still Muslim-slaughtering witch-burning fanatics. Oh, and I forgot, we worship idols and aren't really Christians, either. :P

When I was YouTube I was labelled a:

1) Neo-Con
2) Jew
3) Atheist
4) A racist - the idiots confuse culture and race (the two are not synonymous)
5) Part of the international conspiracy against Muslims

There are many, many more - especially from my experience in politics. Its pathetic but many people would sooner jump onto the 'bashing bandwagon' of sloganism than entering into a discourse where both sides listen and think about each others points before responding to them.

Most people are totally wrong about my beliefs. Meh, that's just the price you pay when you think for yourself.

But thinking for yourself breaks all the rules of online conversation!

If you can't be lumped in with some stereotypical class, you spoil all the fun.

I know someone who is the wife of my college mentor and friend, and she's sometimes incomprehensibly insensitive with her pronouncements about others (and hysterically sensitive whenever someone pronounces some truth about her that's even remotely unflattering). She was talking about a friend of hers who was single and looking to be set up. My age, in my field, smart, attractive -- so I volunteered. But she said that it wouldn't work because the woman is Jewish. When I asked what that had to do with anything, she replied "well, YOU don't believe in ANYthing." This was when I was merely not professing any strong spirituality at all, not declaring myself an atheist. So just because I'd disagreed with some of her earlier Evangelical pronouncements, she assumed that I was utterly devoid of any belief whatsoever, and acted on that belief.

I wanted to tell her how rude that was, and how insensitive, but the woman is married to someone I owe a great deal to with regard to how my career has blossomed. I just nodded and smiled. I get to do that a lot.

a lot of people assume I'm either an Atheist or a Far-right wing Republican.

I can never figure out why.

You must be one of the only ones here who hasn't seen his penis.

I haven't seen it either :(

I never knew he was Jewish.

I have been assumed to be:
British
American
Australian
Irish

None of them are true.

Eh I don't find her attractive either.

Yeah, she's fairly unattractive. I'm sure there are more attractive people than that in the atheist camp - does anyone know what religion Felicia Day adheres to?

Anyway, back on topic now! Let me see ...

A couple of years ago I was asked, in real life, if I was American. Which is kinda weird because I've lived in NZ all my life and do not sound anything like an American.

Once in high school I was told (not asked!) by a friend that I was gay. When I refuted this he said "Oh, I think you are!". I've always wondered about him, after that. :P

Online I often seem to get mistaken for a woman. Which is perhaps understandable given that my avatar until quite recently was Zimmy from Gunnerkrigg Court (now it's Orange Bunny from Bunny, so I shall probably be mistaken for a furry).

I remember someone once informing me that I only felt a certain way because I was a black man, which was more than a little surprising to me. :tongue:

It confuses me.

Eh? No, that was exaggerated.

Although, honestly, I do find furryism creepy.

Also, I'm friends with some furries......had no clue until I helped her clean out her closet for a yard sale.....she's a fox.......literally (figuratively also hehe).

I argued JC existed here about a week ago. Some fundie got it in his head that I of a similar disposistion. In reality I just don't demand a higher burden of proof for his existence than other historical figures.

Nah, I think I just have an "old soul" or something (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean)

I think its mainly due to you having a lot of "life experience", I'd say you come off wise beyond your years.

Also the fact you have kids.

A mindless, communist , socialist , moron , leftist , Obamabot , Jewslave , blind are the words to describe most Americans
I see. And a troll would describe someone who made this generalization.

I've been called
1 godless, because I am liberal
2 america hater, because I was against Bush #2
3 terrorist, because of both of the above.

1 Despite the fact that I am a Christian, for 2 years now, I am called godless, because I like basic tenants of socialism. I mean, its not like the church in acts ever gave up their wealth and shared it with each other or anything:rolleyes:.

2 Okay, so maybe I denounce America for a lot of its history and crap it is doing currently, but I don't hate America as a whole. The concept of America (a free society of mixed
people) is very appealing.

3 And I am not a terrorist. I have a t-shirt that says so.

You did, but that's possibly even more disturbing. :p

Yare, yare. Soo ja nai, ne?

3 And I am not a terrorist. I have a t-shirt that says so.

nice

I've been labeled a Nazi by the sole virtue that I'm (only partially) of German descent, but even then, the German ancestors I have dates for left der deutscher Sprachraum (which was much bigger at the time) at least 200 years before the Nazi era.

Aww, poor thing. Here's some Lebensraum.

:mad:
Not funny. Seriously not funny. The Nazis were disgusting people and I'll be damned if I'm lumped in with those scumbags just because some of my ancestors shared a language and a place of origin with them.

I was once called a Nazi for explaining the difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion. I'm not entirely sure why I was called that. I didn't even state my views on the subject.

Probably had something to do with that Swastika armbad you were wearing. :)

People IRL have mistaken me for somebody who cares.

Kidding aside, I've been called 'too smart to be a liberal' many times in my life.

Sorry, meant it as a joke, didn't know it would offend so.

Es tut mir leid.

Gomen.

Yeah, she's fairly unattractive. I'm sure there are more attractive people than that in the atheist camp - does anyone know what religion Felicia Day adheres to?

Anyway, back on topic now! Let me see ...

A couple of years ago I was asked, in real life, if I was American. Which is kinda weird because I've lived in NZ all my life and do not sound anything like an American.

Once in high school I was told (not asked!) by a friend that I was gay. When I refuted this he said "Oh, I think you are!". I've always wondered about him, after that. :P

Online I often seem to get mistaken for a woman. Which is perhaps understandable given that my avatar until quite recently was Zimmy from Gunnerkrigg Court (now it's Orange Bunny from Bunny, so I shall probably be mistaken for a furry).

Wait you're a Kiwi? And male? :eek:

No, not really.:tongue:

I wonder if I could report you to you for flamebait?:D
Awww, Jim, you always say the sweetest things! ;)

OMG a Catholic joking with a Satanist! It proves Catholics are devil worshippers!

Well one of us had to be.

We were debating the point, (I was totally winning, obviously) and then suddenly the other user decided that it would be best to let me know that I have been mislead by the godless communistic and leftist media and then proceeds to lump me in with said godless communists.

I knew it. I knew it all along!
