!!!
Dont get me wrong, Im not trying to say that other religions are wrong, nor am I trying to insult other religions. Really, your allowed to believe in whatever you want. /.\
::Walks up to ekwee and cracks knuckles staring at.... before shaking his hand :: for once i agree with you though you were brazen in stating your opinions as always a lot of what you said make sense i offer my support to your beliefs but you should still try to respect everyone else wether you think they are wrong or not...ps what you said considering a lot of the forums goers have admitted to being open christians and other religous believers took guts im proud of you
Well the way I see death is:
- all people are concieved (but not all are born, there are miscarriages, abortions, and still births)
- all people live
- all people die
- did you fear being concieved? No.
- do you fear living right now? No.
- why should you fear dying? You shouldn't.

I LIVE IN A CAUCASION CHRISTIAN TOWN IN KENTUCKY........I'M NOT DISSING ANYTHING. I'M SPEAKING THE TRUTH DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T LISTEN.
(not trying to get off topic)
i dont believe the jews were persecuted for their believes either. it was because of hitler. he had syphillas and his brain was messed up.
SORRY BUDDY BUT YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR FACTS. HIM HAVNG AN STD DID NOTHING FOR HIS PERSECUTION OF A PEOPLES. AND WHAT EARTH DO YOU LIVE ON, OF COURSE HE PERSECUTED THEM FOR THEIR BELIEFS, AS WELL AS COMMUNISTS, GAYS AND GYPSIES, AND THOSE WHO WERE MENTALLY RETARDED......
as for the worshiping God or else youll burn in hell is not true either. if you have done your research in the bible it says "if you accept jesus as lord or in lamest terms if you accept he died for your sins to save you" then you will receive the gift of heaven." (not exactly put that way) there have been murderers and other bad people that have gone to heaven cuz they believed in him. YOU HAVE JUST PROVEN MY POINT........
if you really want to know answers to your questions then i suggest you go see a pastor. it wouldnt kill you.
I HAD A DEBATE WITH A PASTOR ONLINE AND IN LAMENTS TERMS. I PWNED HIM AT HIS OWN RELIGION......
Answer in quote
ekwee let it go youre staff you have your image and decorum to uphold on these forums over personal beliefs besides this is starting to go off topic dont make yourself look bad just to prove your points if you want ill make a seperate thread for this religious discussion
No more religious discussion. Religion is an important part of some lives, such as mine, but not of others. I also do not want religious bashing going on, so let's all work to avoid that (not implying there has been any thus far). Topic, please, all. Thanks.
Christianity is a wide concept and is largely open to interpretation (the Bible is so vague you can use it to justify pretty much anything <_<). I understand where you are coming from EkwEE, but don't let your experiences of the religion cloud your judgement of it. I know many people who bad-mouthed the religion (note: the religion teachs or endorses no harm, PEOPLE do) myself and a few of them have come around to thinking that perhaps some Christians aren't bad at all. By all means blame the extremists, but don't blame the religion and tar us with the same brush.
Bottom line, we're not all foamy-mouthed, hateful , extremist morons. We don't all believe that you have to be a Christian to go to Heaven. Bear in mind that religion in Britain is treated way differently to in America. We live in a more secular society here and religion is more... personal I suppose. I prefer it that way, since I hate the religious maniacs with a passion.
Edit: Woops. Sorry DE, didn't realize you'd posted your message when I posted this :$
i think this should be locked
A.S. Wrote:Hitler targeted many other people, which is why I know (not think) that Hitler was a crime to mankind, not specifically the Jewish religion or even Jews. And EkwEE, atheism may not be a religion, but from what I read, your are insulting religions, especially Christianity, they do have things to believe in you know.
I'm not insulting religions I'm pointing out the redundancies of just Christianity, because, in most cases, Christians are the most uptight(But I can start on Judaism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Islam?). You want proof. Billie Grahm (Or some other televangelist) said that 9/11 happened because God was displeased with 'gays and feminists'........Yeah, that shows the intelligence of one of the sheep real well....
If you haven't noticed, the majority of atheists have higher intellects. I wonder why that is?
Or look at it this way. What classified the Dark Ages? THe fall of reason and logic along with the collapse of the Roman Empire. What occured then? An alarming resurgance of the Church......That's who rule during that time period. What happened during the Renaissance? The Church came very close to dying as REASON and LOGIC became a large part of many scholars way of life. You need proof? Galileo was put on house arrest for the rest of his life. Or maybe it was Copernicus. Either way, both made similar claims and both were excommunicated by the Church. For making the observations that we know today is fact: that Earth is NOT the center of the universe. If you read a Bible from back then it would tell you Earth WAS the center of the universe. If God if infallible, so therefore is his word. I have just proven God doesn't exist. The tree that Eve ate from. No one seems to look at the fact that it was a tree of knowledge. Everyone just looks at the fact that God said it was evil, and to eat it was evil. So knowledge is inheritly evil? Then everything we have is evil. Including the computers we have, Knowledge is evil, Knowledge creates technology. Using technology is evil. SO....I can surmise from your Bible, that you all are ALL sinners and will burn in eternal damnation when you die....Like I said your God, and all Gods are laughable at best.
Kashima it doesn't take guts to put up facts.......It DOES take guts to throw them up to those who don't and WON'T listen....
EDIT:See I said when you die AHA! on TOPIC!
*Goes to turn on radio* Loveline is coming on...
