It does not take a genius to follow a thread with excessive quoting. If you write a reply, it's implied that you're responding to the post above you. This isn't a high traffic forum so it's not like people are suddenly jumping in while both of you are typing. _________________ Go Yankees! |

well yeah, on some level, it IS bad because it is different. its a deviation from God's arbitrary and unreasonable rules.
It's not messing up their life and I would do it because I believed that it would benefit them.not physically, but spiritually. and yes, I doubt the Christian religion, very much, so much so, that I don't exactly believe, I don't HAVE a religion/faith or whatever. I'm just trying to explain the Christian philosophy, because I'm seeing way too many generalizations and misunderstandings. I wouldn't to force any beliefs down anyone's throat, I'd be tellin them my story, why i elieve what I believe, that's the way one does it.
respecting someone's religion is honoring their beliefs, and not deliberately offending them by "sinning" in front of them.
as for whether or not Christianity is right, and wheher or not God is real, the answer is , I have no idea. the whole concept of christianity is based on faith. If we knew God were real, i mean then...what's the point? of all this? He wants obedience based on love and Faith, not just fear cause we know he gonna strike us down.
and you are being almost exactly like these christians you describe. you're not trying to force a particular religion down my throat, but you are zealously trying to convince me that all christians are evil people and christianity is wrong. |
If god was as forgiving as people claim him to be, he wouldn't force obedience. Obedience is usually caused through fear. Ex: I won't rob the bank because i don't want to go to jail. Therefore you would be obedient to the law and not rob the bank. If you are concerned about someone else's spirituality, who the hell cares? Thats their decision and their's only. What if that person is a hinduist and believes christianity is wrong? Then the christian could get his ass kicked. Ignorance? No, they think that their religion is the one to eternal happiness and christians arent.
If you concerned you ask them if they want to go to church with you, THATS IT. If they say no, then drop the subject. Christians imposing their beliefs are just like the annoying jehovah's witness's that come knocking on my door. When i see them on my door i get angry. I open the door and tell them to go away. If they knock again i tell them i will call the police. Christians are wrong that they always want to impose their religion on people. I'd rather have someone ask if i want to go to church with them insted of, "You're wrong." _________________

I'm going to watch this thread now. It's full of spam and crap and stuff, so shape up or this thread gets locked.
Also, stop making quote chains before I start thinking you're retarded. >:C _________________

Actually I was agnostic for five years until a friend of mine started showing me some things that he believed in and in my own inner philosophy we agreed on alot of things. For the past four years I've been researching paganism and yes druidism calls to me so i'm following that path. But the reason i stated is why i withdrew from christianity and became agnostic. |

Its not bad to be different, religion was made to being people peace and to show them what would be considered good and to give hope, It doesn't matter what religion a person believes, what matters is what that religion does for them. If it makes them a good person then that religion is for them. I never said christianity was wrong I said it was wrong for christians to force down their religion on other people, difference. I said that there is no proof saying that it exists, but that goes for every religion. _________________

it seems he is there to punish and only help those who believe and worship him properly. i'm an athiest, though im growing up with a strongly catholic family, simply because this god sounds more like an imaginary friend you have to sacrifice and kill for.
buddhism seams to be the only logical religion. it says you should be nice to everyone, do what you love as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or yourself, and there's no imaginary friends to kill for |

if there is no God then where the hell did we come from. The big bang?
do you people think we evolved from apes or something? If we evolved from apes, where did the apes come from?
I'm not a relious person, and I don't have a religion, but I don't like when people talk about crap that they know nothing about. i'm just a christian, that lives by what God gives me.
There is proof that God exists, and if you haven't seen it yet, you got to look harder. they found the ark didn't they. if there was no God, how can you explain there being a huge wooden ship on a mountain?
And if you want even more proof look at what's going on now. earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, crazy prices, it's all in the book of Revelations if you read it. What do you think, that someone just made that all up. Why is it happening then?
I have witnessed God's power, because anything I have asked for, he has given me. if you want to know the truth, then ask for it. _________________ ___________________________________________________

Don't forget the sea of blood thing, that's happening too. Freaked me out alittle.
I think there is SOMETHING up there that made us. But potraying it as a guy sitting on a cloud with a big ol beard amuses me. Memnoch the devil gave a better explanation of what God was potrayed as. An entity, not an all powerful human. Cause if God created us in HIS image; why the hell did he make all the other beings such as animals, insects and dinosaurs etc?

Man created God.
I remember I once got into an argument about the existence of God, and it ended with me suggesting the possibility that God created man because he was lonely. Otherwise, existence was completely pointless. It was the only explanation that gave man any purpose.
I'm not sure if God exists, I can't prove that he doesn't, but I know that faith has power. People have killed in the name of God, and those who identify themselves as religious tend to outlive others (http://factoidz.com/religion-leads-to-a-longer-life/), spirituality lessens stress.. or maybe they just killed off all their persecutors. |
