Christianity

The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... yeah, makes perfect sense.​

Hey at least I'm not a Morman, that's just crazy! :laugh3:

ironic you'd be the only with with enough balls to put me on hold here.

If God gave us free will, then God cannot know the future.... he is not omniscient. For if he truly were omniscient, he would know our futures. And if our futures are known, we cannot have free will. Yet, most Christians I know state that we have free will, and god is omniscient. But logic tells us those two cannot both exist.


I was always curious about that one.

Don't be silly, God can time travel.

Time is linear, it doesn't really exist.

I don't care who you are, that some funny and accurate stuff right there.

Jesus and Buddha were two dudes with a great message. I think they could have been the same person in a way. The span of several hundred years and different locales or cultures could explain the differences and presentation.

Then some "religious" zealots took their (his?) messages and perverted them for their own "financial" gain. Take a dose of mysticism and it freaks out those with little eduction or opportunity to really dwell on things.

That's my take. I guess I'm a Buddhist-Christian that doesn't believe in a creator. I know how much you guys love hyphenated people. LOL

Speaking of being mystical, ever notice that the entire universe seems to be composed of energy/matter that is fluxing in a state of something rotating around another thing? Electrons around a nucleus, planets around a star, solar systems around a galaxy, etc.

Maybe some dudes on an electron are having a debate about a creator, we debate a creator next level out, what we would recognize as "God" is debating about the next great macro level out. Our world is shells within shells of repetition. Fractal in a way.

I want to see quantum level dinosaurs, damn it!

Just to throw another wrench in the gears.

Vikings practiced "paganism" before there was "Christianity". Vikings Visited North america LONG before Columbus. ...But Theres no VIKING DAY.

You said it. Vikings "visited". They didnt stay. They were nomatic and they traveled in small groups with zero to few females. Their chances of building a society were slim to none. Lots of people visited here but didnt stay.
The religions of the people who win wars and have land are the religions that are strongest.

I have another question for the christian types.
As far as your beliefs go, how do you justify being in the military? This isnt directed at anyone in particular here. Ive been curious of this ever since I was in the military. I know when I went in, I made a conscience decision that could kill if asked to without questioning the reasons. How can a christian make that decision knowing they would be going against their beliefs?

 

[scottmcneal]

Yeah, it was a joke.

I bet dollar to donut if Hillary is his VP, he'll be dead with a year. . . .

I'll give him 3 months if that..

Sorry to get you guys all worked up.. I won't do it again ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eace:

WTF is "nomatic" ?

an "automatic" no ?

Now, if all the religious wack jobs/rock bottom hitting born again's would believe what you've written in your above quote, I wouldn't be such a DICK!!! (or maybe not)

Dammit....I can't believe I'm agreeing with you....

What? All this time you thought I wasn't a DICK? :twak:

The 10 Commandments say thou shalt not murder. Murder and killing are two different acts. Ask Evan Vela and SSgt Michael Hensley about the difference. They were just tried for murder in the killing of an Iraqi. Hensley was acquitted, Vela was convicted.
All throughout the Old Testament the Israelites fought and killed their enemies. IMO its a matter of intent. If you are out to kill someone out of ("non-righteous")anger or hatred, etc that makes it murder. If its because you are negligent (unsafe with firearms, driving drunk etc) its murder/manslaughter. If you're country is at war and you are facing the enemy or if you kill in self defense, there's nothing wrong there.
Mind you, that's all just my personal opinion.

A vote for Obama is a vote for Osama and More trail closings.

What the fark ever. Trail closures, sure but, "A vote for Obama is a vote for Osama." Fricking lame.

President Bush has been Osama's best friend as US politicians go. Osama couldn't be safer hanging out in his Pakistani cave over there with this Dipshit of President sending troops to Iraq instead of Afghanistan.

Seriously, knock that ignorant crap out.

I agree that going to Iraq really didn't have a huge amount to do with finding Bin Laden, but I still think it was a good move to get rid of Saddam. Just I would've finished in Afghanistan first...

God, you guys can be so thick sometimes. Just because I think Bush is the biggest mistake this country has ever made does not mean I supported Clinton.


I am allowed to dislike Bush, because he's an idiot and a complete mess up as a President.
