Why would you call it bullshit? Not a very nice thing to say.


what i mean by bullshit, i mean some of the stuff people believe in. like where the master race or the universe. do you really think earth is the ONLY place that has life? and the whole "he;s testing us" thats bull shit... some are brought up in misery while others are born in wealthh or fame... can you really believe in a god when people like paris hilton are out there...

God gives us free choice... and unfortunately... people like Paris Hilton abuse it. Oh, but don't you worry. She'll get hers in the end... maybe even sooner ^_^

lol is that a threat?!? be careful!lol

naw but seriously, i do hope there is a god, cause if once your dead, and there is no afterlife and junk... so many people have wasted their lives...

and another thing.. there are so many races and religions out there, if one was the true one, which would it be? or is it enough to just believe???

Main reason I became an appologetic. It seems the more stress I get put under with people constantly attacking my faith, the stronger it increases. It's funny because most people usually break from stress on their religion, because they finally realize it's wrong, but me, nah. The more the better :p

not really break away.. but just dont have the will or motivation to attend youth groups etc anymore.. I do miss socialising with my youth group friends but theres just so more stuff on my plate now :(

Yahweh sounds like an idea that could be portrayed on a cartoon. Lets start:

* He's magical
* He sent his son Yeshua down to die for your sins.
* He has a whole holy book of bullshit stories from BC time.
* He claims to have made the earth with adam and eve
* He can't even keep his own damn book from man putting filth in it.
* He created Satan just for shits and giggles
* He has a son, even though hes god
* He's omnipresent
* He requires faith
* He never gave credit to Yeshuas brother, who was a huge contribution to christianity
* He's above logic
* You can't understand him

CANT ARGUE WITH THAT LOGIC!

Thats exactly why I have no understanding of Yahweh whatsoever. Every time someone goes off to pull out a contradiction, hes ABOVE it. He's above logic, but not above having a son...funny. I agree with Islam more or less on the idea that Yeshua was a prophet of sorts. And because of his assistance to the Jews, the romans fucked him over and killed him. Now I'm not saying God or a Deity is deniable, all I'm saying is that Yahweh is the craziest idea ive heard for a good while. Whatever it is, opinions aren't going to change as long as religion stands.

Not that I deny a God or Deity, or evolution. Anyways, I'm going to stay off this thread for the sake of avoiding a waste of time from the same argument which happens over and over. So yeah, don't reply to this, unless you want to waste time.

I'll reply just to say LMAO! :p


Well, its original compared to a long argument we could go into. It would be something like.

"LMAO wow...(argX here)"
"Oh yeah? (ArgY here.)"
"Well, you see, (ArgX here.)"

And so forth.

I was a Unitarian for a while. I can't pretend that I really understood all of it but the main message seemed to be, be nice to other people, respect other religions. I liked that because it was so different from SOME others, "Kill the infidels!" etc. Religion seems to me like a way to make people be good. I mean look at the 10 commandmants, they all seem like common sense and most are really good laws. I think religion was developed to help keep people in line before institutionalized laws and government showed up. I'm not trying to knock any religions, just say I'm not convinced that they're neccesary (sp) and all.

I totally like to waste time.

Fact: No matter what you call him, Jews, Christians and Muslims all share the same God, the God of Abraham.

I personally believe all religion is bullshit.

I hate religion, but I love Jews.

Isn't that a Fanny Dooley or something (whatever that thing from "Zoom!" was).

LOL, all I read was:

"I'd gladly take the pointless option, and take the easy way out, I know I may goto Hell, but it's all about the easyness, I can do whatever I want in life".

You know, it does annoy me when you begin every argument with some sort of childish acronym indicating that you believe the other person is an idiot. I'd like to refer you to my thoughts on death. I think you may have missed it.

Be careful though, it does indicate once again that I do not believe in God. So if you may be offended...

DON'T CLICK!

And you.. I simply took your immature remark, and turned it on you, and then you come behind me and call it immature. So, what's that make you? You can't blame it on me, I was just talking at your level.

Who says my remark was immature?
Just stating my opinion is immature these days?
Damn, must be all the christians in administration.

Now -that- was immature. But also a joke ;)

Please do read my thoughts on death. I would actually like to hear your comments in all seriousness.

Because you actually wrote a worthwhile response, I'll make sure the time you spent into the post goes noticed: Of course. Different name, a few different ideas, same cartoony ridiculous idea that I will never understand how it appeals to 3 billion some people.

You don't deserve the even pronounce the word stupid. Your inteliigence level makes my 7 year old sister look like she's in colleage. I love it though, I swear you must be my sister on another computer. Calling me stupid for no reason, it's great. It's always funny arguing with little kids, and you really brought that out of me. You can't even use good grammer, your pathetic.

So please, go take your bitch ass back to the streets and come back after you get some more intelligence banged into your ass.

I'm sorry, but before pyke closes this, I just want to say:
You can't even use good grammar, you're pathetic.

I couldn't help it...

You guys should calm down ;). Opinions are opinions. Remember, if you want to convince someone of your points, especially in this realm, you are much more likely to do it through being nice than being angry at them ;)

just some food for thought :p

Obviously you guys can't drop something so to prevent further arguements I'll say something to get off this road at the cost of looking stupid:

What's Non Denominational?

It's Christian, but not formally aligned with a denomination (denominations being Baptist, Presbyterians, Lutheran, Methodist, etc). Sometimes there's Non Denominational churches, sometimes it only applies to individuals who have not found a church that they like.

I dont know too much about christianity, but would you say the denominalizations are similar to the different sects in Islam? just a different school of thought, but essentially the same religion?

what are the differences?
