Be open to new things if you would like to "verbal masturbate" and "walk through this journey" as you say. The closed minded statement was dually noted and forgotten. I will refrain from saying what I want because I'm not an American. Oh, I was just born and raised here in Kentucky. Read my mind from here.468, Thats really not a nice thing to say. I have watched your guys verbal masterbation go back and forth and would think you would agree to disagree. Life is too short to go through it pointing out what you perceive to be other peoples faults. We all decide how we are going to walk through this journey. I would suggest we show respect and understanding towards each other.
PS: Dont get stoned in a graveyard, thats just weird.
Thank you so very much for your kind words.Well I guess I have received my comeuppance. Thank you for clearing that up and ending this futile debate.
Christians.. meet your spokesperson.
Your right, they sure changed my mind/life and all of the hundred of redneck American friends of mine. (Your opinion) Is always going to be just that.I guess you're conveniently forgetting that i would have been burned at the stake for expounding my beliefs by Christians, up until about 200 years ago.
I am not saying there is no good to Christianity but the good vs. the bad is certainly debatable. And Christianity did not invent non-violence, tolerance and faith. Speaking of faith - i would consider holding up faith as a virtue as one of the most vile things Christianity (or any religion) has done.
Your assertion that Christianity gave us the world we are living with today is highly debatable if not outright preposterous. It was reason and enlightenment that broke the shackles of faith that allowed us to live in the modern world. It wasn't until monks, scientists, and other "renaissance" folks started looking at the ancient/classical learning (Greek and Roman NOT christian/judaic) the world became modern.
Please note that the Pharisees (Jewish high priests) care about what other Jews do - they never had jurisdiction over large numbers of goyim.

And by the way, If I haven't said this before, im not speaking about my opinion or as if to prove something to you - I'm speaking through religious doctrine that I can back up with scripture...
god and religion are nothing more than 'santa claus' for adults. he sees you when you are sleeping and knows when you're awake and if you are bad, you don't get a lump of coal for christmas, you get lumped into hell to burn!
If you NEED religion to make you act right, then believe the bull. If not just be a 'good person' and live your life to the fullest.
I saw a comedian recently and he had a good schtick on religion saying that even if you tried to explain it to a child or a retarded person, they would have some serious questions. Moses was how OLD? And he was able to get 2 of everything into the boat? What the hell did they eat, when they normally would eat each other?
I guess faith can outweigh logic when presented in a nice package, huh?
Zen master,
I'm a logical person and there is no PROOF that's why it's called FAITH. You CHOOSE to have it. I CHOOSE not too and all you did was further the article. I'm not trying to get you to NOT BELIEVE so why are you trying to get me to BELIEVE?
I'm not forcing my views down your throat but, just like the article says, you and Christians continually try to push down others, why?
I don't look at people who believe in a negative light at all. Religion provides hope for those who have none and that is a great service, no doubt. I'm not sitting here saying 'oh those crazy Christians' but you are sitting there saying that I'm an idiot for not believing the fairy tale?
I don't see why America has he right to impose our ways upon other countries, leave their culture alone, stop the genocide. ~lol~ Sorry about the rant...![]()
Zen you are right I did just jump into this thread and I didn't take the time to read the posts from beginning to the end so I could be talking from my arce.
This line made me think you were clowning me, saying oh you don't believe so there is no meaning?
You can't prove there's a god, so I'm going to believe the universe is a chance happening and that my life has no meaning because it's a cosmic mistake"
Explain to me please?
Thanks man
I don't think the US goes to war to spread any religion or suppress any religion. Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?
Idk, I might be thinking about it wrong. I just figure after so much time of us having bases in the middle east, and putting allies as their leaders. I can see the McDonald's, Burger king, Walmart, etc etc being built over there within good time. After so many of 'our' companies have been running over there, innately their culture will change due to their new environment. I'm sure it would start slowly, but given the appropriate time, they are going to build like America with malls and etc.

~PEACE~
I think Zen is setting up the false dichotomy (either-or). it is the old "without God where does morality and meaning come from" argument. You can either have God and meaning/morality or you can be godless and without meaning/morals.
When in reality, as you probably know, there are more sides to that coin.
