Your religion

i have no quest. i've never been a proseletyzer (sp?) or missionary. your soul is your business. i figure if someone wants to know about my faith, they'll ask me when they're ready. but at the same time, my entire concept of freedom of religion requires me to defend the rights of JW's and Mormon's and all the rest of the missionary types to go about their business. as for not being approached by people of other faiths, and people of other faiths, what about moon coming here and telling people off for daring to hold a different philosophy than her's? that doesn't strike you as an invasion? that doesn't count as a missionary? it's tantamount to some baptist fundie wierdo racing over to the gay and lesbian forum and calling them all evil.

 

my online persona attacked her online persona. se calls all christians ignorant and pushy, i call all teeenagers ignorant and bratty. seems like a fair trade to me.

 

Well, some Chsitians seem to have a quest, I didn't mean you specifically.
I have no problem discussing religion (or politics), I love it in fact. Just talking about it, not someone preaching to you.
Online is different too, this post can be ignored. So can gay-bashing or racist posts.

 

you know, metro, i love discussions, too. but this started out with one girl being bratty because she was bored and wanted some fun. can you stand aside and watch some perfectly decent people being insulted and treated badly just because someone's bored? or are you gonna jump in there?

 

mynameiskc-
I have no problem with you jumping in and defending your religion. Many who responded though only attacked her personally, but said nothing to defend the religion. Her first post was not really insulting. I thought it was funny, though I don't expect you guys to. Just from my experiences with Christians, I've lost patience and think it's humorous when it's shoved back in your faces now and then. I know there are Christians out there that are nice and not assertive when it comes to religion, but I've dealt with too many who are to ignore it.

 

lol. of course i attacked her personally. it was the point of the entire lesson. but like i was saying earlier, i'll bet you know quite a few christians that you would never peg as christian, because we're low key people. many of us, myself included, do not consider christianity to be the only way, rather, one fo the ways, one that makes sense to us. we're not the least bit offended by someone being and atheist or hindu or whatnot, because we understand there's a great deal about the spiritual world that we don't understand. it's okay. what i dislike intensely is people thinking that we need ANYTHING thrown BACK in our faces since we never threw anything in the first place. pick your fights, go to some fundie "i hate homos" site.

 

It's being thrown at us constantly. Well, perhaps you don't notice it and it doesn't alarm you, but I see it everywhere. I could list many personal instances, but it would take forever and no one probably wants to hear it.

 

I wasn't bored.

It's constructive criticism. Learn it, love it.

 

You attacked me personally because you couldn't defend what you're about. You didn't teach me a lesson.

 

I find it amusing when people feel the need to swear to make a point.

 

What the fuck are you talking about?

j/k

 

Yes, I still think she likes the attention, otherwise, she would have left this when she made her point...well, I can't even call it a point, more like a jumbled up rage of emotions.

Yes, you can see a person in the words that they write. Of course it is all speculation until you actualy meet the person, but I would have to say 95% of the time, a persons writings are a direct link to that persons mind and being.

Noone is attacking moon here. She came in here for "entertainment" and in her last posts it seems she is a little upset she didn't get what she wanted. I think it is very sad that she says she understands Christianity and yet thinks that if you don't follow the 10 commandments you will go to hell. That right there shows her ignorance.

Also, being spoiled does not mean that you get the attention you need in your life. Being spoiled means you have recieved everything you have ever wanted without having to work for it therefor allowing you to not respect anything, because you get what you want reguardless.

The more you type the more you show your ignorance. The more you type the more you show your imaturity. I am not humored by this. I think it is sad that someone has to go through life like that. Who hurt you? What happened in your life that causes you to have so much anger towards me?

OH yes, the Christain belief is not forced on you. No, forcing it on you would be putting a gun to your head and asking; "do you admit that yo uare a sinner? Do you accept Jesus into your life? Will you do the will of God?" and if you said no, pulling the trigger. The last time a Jehovas Witness came to my door, I don't recall them pointing a gun towards me. No, I recall talking with them and pulling out my Bible and pointing out things that proved their religion wrong. But nothing was forced. They gave me a mormon book, got on their bikes, and rode away. Again, moon calls us pushy because we defend our beliefs here. Once again, I didn't force her to attack me or what I believe. I didn't make her post a thread here. She did it on her own free will. She could have just as easily shut up and not said anything. I am willing to bet that if I started a thread and called it "All homosexuals are evil" she would jump in there and defend herself or her beliefs. Gues I am not allowed to huh? I am done with you God hating self worshipers. I will pray for you, I'll let God handle the rest.

 

Fuck fuck fuck. Point made?

 

the last time jehova's witnesses came to my door, I ran out the door right past them nekid. I was taking a shower and when I got out realized that my sun roof was down and it had started pouring rain. so, i ran down the stairs and out the door as they were about to ring the door bell. when I got back to the front steps, I said, may I help you - and they both looked at me in my birthday suit and said - we doubt you're interested.

true story


Ok carry on with your arguements folks, just figured I'd lighten the mood a little.

 

Why can't you shut up? You're not making a point.

 

Hahahahahaha. That's awesome.

 

Actually he was making a point. If you didn't want responses to your post, then why did you bother posting?

 

He's a rambling idiot.

 

i read that twice he made no point , unless your talkin about 10 commandments , and he didnt finish it thankfully wether the imaginary jesus forgives your imagined sins or the imaginary jehova crushes you in imagined jealosy and rage ....all this means nothing to people who are not sharing your phycotic delusion

 

other people cultural and philisophical beliefs are being thrown at EVERYONE by EVERYONE. the only ones you don't notice being thrown at you are the ones you agree with. someone who doesn't agree with them isn't nearly so casual about it.
