It's about faith, isn't it?

Anyway, I was guilty myself of using "gyp" - not "jip" - to describe a type of con or swindle, but it's a colloquialism, and ethnically insensitive. Though I don't believe I've ever met a gypsy.

All of the Appearances of GOD

Slaying of the First Born

The Ten Commandments

The Tower of Babbel

And many, many more reasons

What makes you think they were made up? And because of your little god, so called Satan exists. I surley belive the situation of Ragnarok more than some stupid book called 'The Bible'. It's all just little baby fairy tales ment to put the mentally disabled to sleep. Your religion is so original, you call your god 'God'. You call your bible 'The Bible', and your priest rape little boys. I'm sorry, but I don't believe in a religion that is so good and holy but it's okay to rape children and scare people into believing in your ways by making up Satan. If I don't believe in God, I'll go to Hell and burn forever! AH! How do you know Hell is bad? If someone went to Hell they just problably become part of Satan's army, not some little torture for eternaty. You say every religion is made up? There are so many people that say your religion is made up. Trust me, other religions have more going and more proof than just a stupid book that some town drunk wrote when he was drunk out of his mind.

This alone makes me have zero respect for you. It's not a priest being catholic that makes him rape little boys its the priest himself. There are quite well documented cases of sexual abuse in many other religions.

Yes, I know but that wasn't my point. I was just showing another flaw in the religion. I'm not saying Jesus or God sucks or anything. Hell, I don't even know them. All I'm saying is there is more religions out there. Jesus and God are not the only ones you know.

I never said God WAS Satan, God created Satan. Doesn't it say that God exiled Satan from Heaven? I mean, it's in your little book called 'The Bible', go read that part.

Hey kids.

Don't mean to insult anyone here, yet i know that no matter what i do im bound to be called a fuckhead, dick, or random vulgar term. AS for the religous discussion, despite what you say I will always believe that Jesus came to earth, the son of GOd, and tryed to show the people on earth how to live better. You can believe whatever you want. And another thing, if the bible was written by some drunk, why would so manyh people know aout it and believe in it? we're not naive, we're trying to live as better people, if it turns out that we get to have eternal happiness and you dont, we did the right thing, if we dont, we still lived good lives. And one more thing, someone told me that after people like moses had these big visions and conversations with God, everyone took a different perspective on this. When you look at a lot of religons, there is a main God, and a human savior, like jesus. However, what you do is still your desicion.

if you think that Christ walking on water "ain't no big deal" ask a couple of famous magicians... Andre' Kole and David Copperfield. You've prabably heard of David but Andre' was David's mentor and has invented hundreds of illusions. Andre' is a Christian and David is Jewish. They have had a discussion as to whether they felt that the miracles could have been magic tricks or not. the conclusion that these 2 very accomplished illusionist came to was that it could not be done without literly tons of equipment and LOTS of helpers.

Mentally disabled...HA...coincider this guy..

Dr. Arthur Ernest Wilder-Smith http://www.thewordfortoday.org/wildersmith_nav.html

these realaudio clips are pretty long..the one i listened to was about 45 minutes, but if you even listen for 10 minutes or so you will realize that he is far from mentally disabled, nor will you feel that he is a brain-washed idiot, as i've seen christians called in totse forums and elsewhere.

also coincider the clergy itself. they had to go to seminary (religeous college) where they not only learn the bible and (that particular church's) doctrine, but they also learn: language (greek, aramaic,hebrew), history, philosophy, writing and speaking. All the pastors, ministers and priests that i have met ALL have had a zeal and passion for what they do..especially the older ones. which says to me that they really believe in what they are teaching.

quote:

and your priest rape little boys. I'm sorry, but I don't believe in a religion that is so good and holy but it's okay to rape children

I am not saying that it is ok to rape anyone, but what is "good"? who defined it?

if there is no God then nothing matters. and if nothing matters, then there really is no "good" or "bad".

quote:

and scare people into believing in your ways by making up Satan.



Where is your proof that religion made up satan and that the intention of the invention was to scare people into submission.

quote:

If I don't believe in God, I'll go to Hell and burn forever! AH! How do you know Hell is bad? If someone went to Hell they just problably become part of Satan's army, not some little torture for eternaty. You say every religion is made up? There are so many people that say your religion is made up. Trust me, other religions have more going and more proof than just a stupid book that some town drunk wrote when he was drunk out of his mind.

Belief in God is not enough. Belief that Jesus, Son of God, died and went to hell in our place, and that He rose from death and the grave and returned to His Father is what will keep someone from an eternity in hell.

As to the "satans army" part, the army will not be forever, only until all things are fulfilled, after that, ALL that are not redeemed, will suffer for eternity.

"Wrote by the town drunk"? .. lol good one. Have you ever tried much writing while drunk? If i remember, talking coherantly to anyone that wasnt drunk, was almost a miraclulous feat in itself.



Mantrid posted "Didn't Jesus live 2004 years ago?"

Scholars think that Jesus was born sometime between 7 and 4 BC. and that He lived 30 some years. So the answer is yes, but 2004 years ago He was probably between 8 and 11 years old.

Your argument is called:

Appealing to the Masses

A remarkably common but fallacious form of reasoning is: "It must be true (or good) because everybody believes (or does) it." Mothers understand this as a fallacy; they often counter this argument by asking: "If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?" Of course you wouldn't. What this shows is that just because a lot of people believe something or like something doesn't mean that it is true or good. A lot of people used to believe that the Earth was flat, but that certainly didn't make it so. Similarly, a lot of people used to believe that women should not have the right to vote. Popularity is not a reliable indication either of reality or of value.

You can live a good life without believing in god. And as some priest's have shown you can live a bad life when you believe in god. Your religous belief has nothing to do with how good you are as a person.

Proofisoutthere how many movies and pictures have you seen of dragons? how about gnomes? These are mythical creatures that ancient people believed in just as firmly as they believed in there god's. If you said you talked to a burning bush nowadays people would think you are crazy or that you just set fire to the president. We can disprove things like that nowadays, but how can we diprove something that supposedly happened thousands of years ago?
