Your religion

Quote: live and let live.

On an internet forum, where would be the fun in that?

 

I'm not too sure, but now my mind is beginning to associate you with this energizer bunny I speak of.


Which one do you prefer - red cape, priest outfit or tourbon?

 

Well, I'd prefer the red cape, although I don't believe in the devil.

Anyway, I don't really know many actual Christians in non-internet life, so this is my chance to try to understand the uhhhh logic

 

There you go man, you've really done it this time. When the others in this thread catch wind that you are a non-believer in the devil - whoa look out!!

 

Oh I'm already damned because I am a half Jewish agnostic. I just prefer a religion that is fair, my own.

Anyway, when moon flower gets back she can take over again for a while.

 

Everyone is subject to their "isms," whether they know it or not.

My favorite is Mysticism, but of course there is also Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Judeaism, Rastafarianism, Zoroastrianism, Shamanism, Paganism, Pantheism, Spiritualism, Agnosticism, Atheism, Materialism, Nihilism, Capitalism, Socialism, Pragmatism, Escapism, Empiricism, Conservatism, Liberalism, Patriotism, Fundamentalism, Romanticism, Hippie-ism, etc.

The list is apparently endless.

Like it or not, your isms (and yes, you do have at least a few) dictate how you experience reality, they even dictate WHAT you experience, how you understand reality, what you understand, and who you are, how you see yourself, and how you behave in relation to reality.

If you think you have a clear view of reality, free of any "isms," then, with extremely rare exceptions, you may be far more delusional than you know.

You are only as free as your awareness of that which controls you.

So, the real challenge is to figure out the isms that have the most influence over you and your "reality." Those who love you the most will help you.

Peace and Love,

 

That reminded me of this:

"It's not that I condone facism. Or any ism for that matter. Isms, in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon 'I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.' Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus, I'd still have to bum rides off of people."

from Ferris Buler's Day Off

 

And I have the right to question it. Thank you for wasting your time asking a stupid question.

 

Wow, thank you for wasting your time. Isms have NOTHING to do with my downing Christianity.

It's obvious you like to make yourself look like an ass, so I won't waste anymore of my time commenting.

 

Yes but we have other forums for that. Dont be a noob!

 

You just really want to fight. You are not very good at it. Too predictable.

If you are this hostile in real life, then you are in for some surprises. You will probably become quite helpless.

I can only wonder how it's going to turn out for you.

Good luck, I really mean that.

 

I agree with the isms thing, once you resign yourself to a label like that, your thought process is skewed. I think that actually does have everything to do with religion, or fanaticism

 

I am this hostile in real life.
Helpless? No.
Fuck you, I really mean that.

 

This is the forum to comment on Christianity, is it not?
I'm not a noob. I've been around a long time.

 

Whatever. Stop preaching.
But seriously I don't think we need to give it a rest, seamonster66 is doing a great job!

 

And how do you know you are right? In your same logic of thought, you are callign yourself a superior person for knowing that we are wrong. That's a good little sheep, way to jump on the bandwagon of hate.

Nope, I can't, and according to The Bible I wouldn't be able to look at Him anyways. However, I do see His work in my life daily.

I am not perfect. I haven't met a perfect person yet. Don't think I ever will either. I know I live my life acording to God's will for me. How do I know? Through prayer. Do I ever faulter? Yes I do. Is God there to help me back up? Yes He is. You never answered my questions to you. What happened in your life that made you turn against God? Who did you wrong? Who hurt you? What major event in your life lead you down this path?

You make the choice, not God. Right now you have a choice, you can change your mind at anytime before you die, but when you die, it's to late.

No, I think the others are damned because they deny Christ as our savior.

I don't think there is ever a time that a person on this world is not faced with their relationship with God. Your question is similar to that of asking about aborted babies. Do they go to heaven? I think they do. Do children go to heaven? Depends if they ever came in question with their relationship with God(when I say children I mean the younger age, before reasoning really sets in). As far as your excuse to The Bible being revised and edited over and over, well, there is a Bible out that is an exact translation of the original books and writings. Every word translated to every possable meaning. Then, at the bottom of each page there are modern day interpretations for you to read, some are the same, some are different(each interp. written by someone else). So you can no longer use this as an excuse.

Again no, they will be damned for not accepting Jesus as The Savior.

The Bible describes hell. Your understanding is wrong.

Way to many drugs man.

Or the rest of the world has turned their backs on God and He is waiting on the last few followers before He ends it all.

What makes them good? If you deny God then all the rest matters not. It is quite simple really. Why are you so confused?

A good example of someone not being led by The Holy Spirit.

I'll refer to the time when Jesus was being crucified on the cross. Two men were next to him, one on either side. One man questioned Him and asked why He didn't do something. The other man asked for forgivness. Jesus told the repenting man he would join Him in Heaven. Both men led a life of sin, the one that denied Jesus went to Hell, the other went to Heaven. Again, this is simple. As far as how you think it should be, well, when you die and are being judged, take it up with Him.

That is why we pray for you, in hopes that you will break free from your mental prison and see that God is the answer.

It is not a cop out, it is The answer. If you don't agree, then go on, leave. I am certainly not forcing you to stay here and defend yourself or make you attack my faith.

Well, that would have to take out every single hotel in America now wouldn't it? Nothing would be totaly lost. Even if all text was lost, the message would still be strong in those believers still alive. Besides, look how long the faith has been around. Through so much, yet still strong.

I think He would be disapointed in a lot of us, yet He would still love us, and we would stil be welcome into the kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus isn't a fable. That theory has been disprooved by non christian historians, scentists, and a hole load of other non believers. He was alive, he did do miracles in the name of God, He was witnessed on this earth, and He did die and come back to life as wittnessed by lots of people.

I don't see how this has anything to do with the topic at hand, especialy because Christianity isn't an ism.

She denied this in earlier posts. Again, what happened in your life to make you turn against God. Who hurt you? What major event happened to make you take this path?

 

I denied rage, not hostility. There is a slight difference.

Reality happened. Noone hurt me. What does me being hurt have to do with my not believing in God? According to you upety Christians, pain would have brought me closer to God. Why does it always have to be a 'major event' that made someone a non-believer? Do you think something major happening is the only way one cannot have faith in the invisible man?

 

You can deny it all you want, your pain is evident in your words and actions....hostility, anger, rage, hatred....it's all the same.

 

Your ignorance is evident in your posts.

 

So you have reverted to using things I have said to you now? I still don't understand why you are here. You are no longer voicing your opinion. You are only attacking those that do not agree with you. Tell me, what makes you right and me wrong?
