ShockV1.89 Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Frankly, I'm stunned that this thread hasnt degenerated into namecalling and damnations. Religious threads, in my experience, tend to turn into that. Nice job, so far, guys!

griff38 Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Originally posted by Break_dF I'm not confusing hope and faith. You're associating faith w/ religion. What you believe in is what you have faith in. If you know emotion, you know faith. Iam not associating faith & religion but clearly sighted an example of how faith could be used outside of religion. "What you believe in is what you have faith in" I agree, I have neither beliefs nor faith. It's possible to be very successful without believing in anything. But I do know emotion, and it's overated. Nothing more than a chemical response interpreted by the ego centered self. Cjais said, "I never argue or debate anything religious to convince the "opponent". Yes your right about that. I don't think anyone who posts here is swayed one way or another. Some very strong personalities. 5 stars because it's well said and correct, and yes you may have a chocolate chip cookie.

GonkH8er Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Originally posted by Break_dF Well Gonk..when I say that I "want to believe" it's more of how I tried to believe for so many years. I'm just trying to present myself in a way that other "christians" can understand. Yes, I've lost faith. I tried believing...I really did. It just didn't work for me. Now you're sounding like me A few long painful cancerous deaths within my family over the course of a few years destroyed what faith I had left. A lot of my friends are christians, and they disapprove of my ways. I'm just trying to get by, that's all....
Break_dF Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Originally posted by BlackDove Not really Ok...second.

I think I'm the only person in my community that doesn't go to church every Sunday.
ET Warrior Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Well, i have a few friends of mine who are atheist, but i allow them to be so without lecturing them about religion. I figure they know about it and it's their choice not to follow it. It saddens me sometimes, but i'll let them be their own person.
BlackDove Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Originally posted by Break_dF Ok...second. +million/tens of millions
Break_dF Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Originally posted by BlackDove +million/tens of millions WTF is your problem, blackdove?... I mean really...what is it?
ET Warrior Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 WTF is your problem, blackdove?... I mean really...what is it?Just look at his custom title.....that about sums it all up Actually, i would rather my cookie be white chocolate macadamia nut....if that's not too hard..you can get them at subway
ShockV1.89 Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I gather he's got a hyperactive sense of humor with a malicious streak. It's all good... just smile and nod...

ShockV1.89 Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 It's all a matter of perspective. In his mind, and perhaps others, his posts are probably hysterical. Like I said, smile and nod.
DarkSaber-<ZeN> Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Originally posted by Lord_Plo_Koon I am very glad to see that christians are a part of the jedi knight comunity. YEA! Well im glad to see Star Wars fans are too. I mean come on..Christanity is the most common religion you goof.
El Sitherino Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 no its not Islam is there are 3 muslims to every christian.

I think I'm the only person in my community that doesn't go to church every Sunday. i live in texas and i dont go to church on top of that i like asian women and im buddhist. so im basically screwed. thankfully i got good friends (who run legitamet(sp?) businesses)
Ratmjedi Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Originally posted by InsaneSith no its not Islam is there are 3 muslims to every christian. Actually your wrong man. A while back someone posted a test about world knowledge and people were tested about it all over the world. One of the questions was which religion had more people and Christianity won and many people thought it was Islam. Just though I'd let you know.
Kain Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 personally, i find christianity to hypocritical to believe in. too many contradictions in that book christians put so much stock into. and the book has alot of things based off of other religions in it. i'm not talking about judaism to the christians and christianity to the muslums. i mean if u read enough of the new testament, you can see things that are in the polytheist ancient egyptian religion, things like a holy trinity. also, skaterboy said that christians dont bug non-christians about joining their religion. bull****. i've been condemned to hell unless i go and revert to christianity on so many occasions by so many pastors and fathers or priests or whatever the **** that it makes me want to vomit. i've been condemned to hell by a girl who had a child before she was married with a guy she was cheating on her boyfriend with. if i went by the comandments, i'm in heaven, and shes going to hell. unfortunantly, i believe in neither of those places...them or indiana. so i cant goto any of em. skaterboy, no offense by saying what u said is bull****. i'm just stating from personal experience put 2 and 2 together, i'm not christian. i'm not atheist, i'm not budist. i'm not any kind of religion or non-religion. i'm me. i believe in that and only that. when i die, we'll see what happens
C Shutt Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I worship Odin, the Norse King of Gods. Who's with me?
BigTeddyPaul Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 This is true. The ratio is now about 1 to 1. BigTeddyPaul
C'jais Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 cjais why do you always dominate these type of threads, do you have an ego problem or something? Yeah, my ego is too big for me to handle. I fear it's going to spill out over these boards I like your sig. And it connects well with your title. Now I know who to blame when the forums go down the drain again

Does worshipping 3 different personas of the same entity = polytheism? That is a good point that as yet to have been brought up yet. Lucky Jews just skip the NT and therefore don't have this problem. Kudos to them. 2nd Point: Where in the bible does it say you cannot have sex before marriage? Cheating is a sin but sex before marriage? 3rd point: Indiana: It is right next to B&O Railroad and Chance. I mean how can you not believe in that? BigTeddyPaul
