|
|
a sad sad day when a religion that trys to teach how to live life without sin and to be nice to one another ends up with something like this
Quote: Popular film and television star CHARLIE SHEEN insulted Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists and other nonbelievers during a recent interview carried by the popular “Entertainment Tonight” (“ET”) program earlier this week.
Letters and e-mails to the CBS/Paramount network are needed now to ask that Mr. Sheen retract his statement that “Anybody that (sic) doesn’t believe in God hasn’t looked into the eyes of their child.
The comment was made during an interview with ET’s Mark Steins during a discussion of Sheen’s divorce proceeding with estranged wife Denise Richards. It is currently posted at et.tv.yahoo.com. Mr. Sheen described court papers filed by Ms. Richards as “baseless,” and told the audience about his two small children:
“They represent the real gifts and treasures of this life … Anybody that doesn’t believe in God hasn’t looked into the eyes of their child.”
While we appreciate Mr. Sheen’s stressful position in the midst of an emotional and acrimonious divorce proceeding, this does not excuse making a reckless and unsubstantiated statement which slurs millions of Americans during a popular television show. Imagine if he made this same comments about any other group – Jews, Blacks, Roman Catholics! This remark is unfair, and de-values the deep appreciation which many loving, caring Atheist and other non-believer parents feel for their children.
fortunitly apologies are being asked of, hopefuly they will be answered nicely.

Insult: "Anyone that doesn't believe in God is a moron."
Not an insult: "Anyone that doesn't believe in God hasn't looked in to the eyes of their child."
See the difference?
How was his statement insulting? If anything, he was commenting on the powerful love that a parent has for their child. |

Basically it insults some people if you don't agree with them. |

its not a matter of whether it is insulting or offensive to you, its more of insulting to atheists in general
analogy: say a tv show host made a statement of "if you believe in god, then you have never had a logical thought"
now this is neither true or complimentive. It degrades the logical thinking ability of religious people, as charlie sheen's statement downgrades the emotional feelings of atheists.
-Charlie Sheen's statement was an emotionaly appealing statement centered around his beliefs Vs. the non-beliefs of others |

God in the baby head smell; Satan in the diaper pail? Sounds dead on to those who study evolution.
Q: I wonder if he ever wondered why babies look so much like their dads?
A: Because mom knows it's their baby. It's the dads who usually kill children created by other men. Babies who look like dad live longer... |

I was thinking more along the lines of 'a sad sad day when people take what Charlie Sheen says seriously or as indicitive of a broader populations views.' |

Haha, I find that in no way insulting. How about this:
"Anyone who believes in God has never looked into the eyes of Charle Sheen!" |
