It is easier to believe in nothing than it is for you to place your faith on something that has been double guessed forever. It seems some of you have put so much effort and thought into convincing yourselves that God does not exist. I really wish you'd put as much thought into honestly researching rather than merely being an arm chair quarterback skeptic. Not all "priests" are pedophiles. Not all church donations go into a preacher's pocket. Not all churches preach fire and brimstone. Many of you are stuck in this black hole of thought that convinces you I'm wrong without even taking a second to pathom that I can remotely be the opposite.
If some of you took even half the time you have obviously taken to convince yourselves God doesn't exist and used that time to honestly and truly explore what true Christians are like, you may just find that you have been extremely wrong about what you previously thought.
I'm honestly dissapointed to see just how closed minded and biased some of you really are.
I will close with this: If you have no meaning and purpose that is worthwhile and productive to your life and just as importantly others, then you truly live a meaningless life. I hope that some day you will wake up and realize that "life" is really not meant to be so selfish, and I hope that epiphany comes before it's too late to make the meaningful decisions you have to make in life.
this threads gay, i don't believe in this shit.
That was deep and insightful..... :rolleyes:Quote:

I've read it, and actually, as much as I liked it, I couldn't get over how condescending he was. It's a weird read, because the guy's ego is out of control. He makes some good point, and I certainly recommend it, but seriously, the ego was a turnoff.Quote:

Did you also know that in the original Hebrew bible (or Torah/Apocrafa(sp?)) there is no mention of hell or Satan? There is also no place in the Bible that desribes Hell as the firey place that everyone assumes it is. It is only desribed as total separation from God. Just thought I would share.Quote:

So - I am very open-minded about the subject. The more you REALLY dig the more confusing it really is - lol. And what a shame. Let's not forget that my grandad is a preacher and I grew up in the church. I think the morals and the things it teaches really is the way to go - but in all reality, it's no diff than putting a speed limit on a pole beside the road. There are enough people that ACTUALLY follow that 55mph sign b/c it's THERE and they can see it. There are the tards like me, that will go 80mph, but enuff people in the world WON'T speed JUST b/c that's the "law". IMO - religion is the same way - there is enuff people that believe it and it keeps them from raping every woman they see and robbing every bank they walk in. Do you see a speed limit in a driveway? Naah. Why - b/c if u go 80 up your driveway chances are you will only injure YOURSELF. You see limits posted only where there is other people... you only see "rules" (pick a rule, ANY rule) at places where OTHER people are. You can carry a shotgun in your kitchen or living room all day - u will likely only injure yourself if you get crazy with it. But every grocery store has to go through the hassle of putting a sticker on the window that says "no firearms allowed" - why? B/c there are other people - it "teaches" you how to act in order not to bother other people during their 45 minute shopping spree. Religion (organized) is "teaching" people how to act during their 80 years on the planet. Don't steal - don't kill... yadda yadda yadda. What a mind fuck - and it works.
What is REALLY happening is so subtle and slick that no 1 person will live long enough to "call out" the government on it. And that thing that is happening in ALL major religions coming "in line" w/ each other - little by little. I studied religion, and in all reality they are basically the same thing w/ a lil "regional" twist... seasoned to taste if you will. All of the "conflict" books in most "bibles" are left out - IN EVERY MAJOR RELIGION. The "missing" or un-included books will surely cause chaos - like a certain book (written by an author who has OTHER books included mind you - so he MUST have heard from "God" right?) that basically says "every1 makes it into heaven... PERIOD!" Gee - wonder why that book was not included.
Or - the fact that even the bible states that there are no "earthly" or "worldy" headquarters. Uh oh Catholics - there goes your Vatican - SURELY you all are fucked before you even get started. I can go on - but I will not. I seriously do not want to be the catalyst that fucks up the very thing that millions of people use in order to feel good about themselves and sleep better at night. But all I say is educate yourself on what you belive - know WHY you believe what you do - b/c in all reality - most of you don't know the difference between a Lutheran and a Presbyterian - yet you "live" by that title every Sunday and you don't even know how they differ.
Best wishes friends,
J'son
But that's the beauty. You don't HAVE to abide by the rules. You can chose how you live your life. Free will. Only your choices have consequences. Much like everything in life.Quote:

for those of you who are portraying their ideas in a mature and respectable level, +1.
