Val RIP
I'm not religious, i.e. I don't have a set of rules from an organization to follow like the Jehova's Witness who aren't allowed to celebrate birthdays and holidays. My beliefs come from what I find to be true in the bible (creation, the history, morals, jesus, etc.). I take what's given and apply it to my life.
I know there's a God, He's proven his love and loyalty to me on numerous occasions. I think I stated this in another thread somewhere else. Too much to type, I should get to work now...
I am not religious ethier i just go by what i have expieranced and by what God has shown me that he is indeed real and all his teachings are valid.
the devil speaks to me, so i listen.
Admin, I've noticed a lot of animosity towards Christians from you. I completely understand you not believing, but why do you feel the need to belittle those that carry a different faith. I was hoping to carry on good conversations about these topics, but you seem to always break into insults. Just curious...
btw, I'm not trying to change your mind about anything, just showing you what I believe to be true. I know a lot of Christians have done (you) wrong, but maybe you should look at it on an individual basis. Not all of us are the same.
BTW, did you get my pm? What was it you needed?
i have nothing against christians on a personal level, i treat everyone the same, its not like i'm sitting here bashing people for what they believe, but i do like to hold people accountable for they say/do.
believe what you want, i really don't care, when it comes for your judgement day you only need to be worrying about yourself, i don't believe in your God/Devil heaven/hell.
my religion is my faithg, something that will always be their for me. it is something that i can turn to when i need it. even if i go away from it for a time, it will always be there

Just be honest and admit it.i have nothing against christians on a personal level, i treat everyone the same, its not like i'm sitting here bashing people for what they believe, but i do like to hold people accountable for they say/do.

Also, it doesnt matter what you and I believe...the judgement will take place and we BOTH will be judged by the same rule. I am certain of that. Time will tell wont it.

grow up, seriously? do you honestly think i would spend so much time on this forum dicussing topics if all i did was bash people? your problem is you think that you are 100% right all of the time and think that there is no other truth to be found then in a single book. you should get over yourself, i really don't care that much to bash you on here, i remember starting a topic calling you out on here for the intelligent remarks you've made in this forum.
Who do you think started this forum?
thank you.
nah I'm sure Admin is a cool guy, just comes off "upset at christians" sometimes. No biggie, just pointing out my observations.
i prefer equal opportunity h8ter... i am not even religious and i sit here and try to discuss topics until they just get boring/retarted... there is only so many time one can listen to scripture / "its faith" to answer simple questions....that doesn't suprise me

upset... lol you are giving you guys too much credit, this is nothing more then a game for me, i'm not religious, i really don't care either way. nothing in any of these forums is meant to do anything but provoke thought/conversation.

You do far more then ask questions and disagree. Your mocking and name calling posts stand for themselves. Like I said, it doesnt matter. Why not Just be honest. Any discerning reader can see the tone you take with me and others. I am done discussing this.
Your opinion of me matters not. The only thing ANYONE should be concerned with is to study for themselves, look around, be honest, be open minded..see if anything I or anyone else posts here has merit. If it does I or they deserve no credit. The source of knowlege and truth is not human. Any opinion of that truth doesnt effect me...it only effects the holder of the opinion.
I'm sorry if your offended by something such as "smartest/dumbest people on here", ... this is what your referring to maybe you should try another forum, b/c that is some weak shit. i guess you've never read half of my comments in othere forums.
sorry again but don't piss & moan when you say something and i ask you to back it up... you try to come off that you are superior to everyone in here... atleast you can do is answer the question instead of posting: "why mock the knowlege (or lack of it)of others when you yourself are the one asking many questions you obviously dont know the answer to?" if i had the answer to it why would i be asking you? so who is mocking who? there is never a dumb question on dumb answers
LoL. There are only a handful of members that venture into this forum. We have been discussing religion for almost a year now. As far as I know, no one has ever been offended by someone's comments. If your feelings are that delicate then post in the WL or Girl's forum. Do we get passionate or heated sometimes? Of course! But I think those of us that post here enjoy it. I don't expect Paul or anyone else here to hold back. We're here to stand our ground. Since you seem to be new, I will label your comment as misguided.
I'm not offended, not much really does that to me. I'm not complaining about his objections to what we talk about, I'm just saying he tends to say things of an offensive nature. Again, I don't have a problem, but I would hope that we can all continue to act like adults and not feel the need to resort to insulting people on here. I'm not saying he's purposly doing it, he just comes across that way.
