Quote: it's written in the Bible
itself that Christians r extremist n it's ok bcoz u're not goin to do anything
bad about being fanatic for God.
Don't you think it depends on the level of extremism?
Cause if case if you haven't noticed, there are many extremists out there doing
all sorts of things that I'm pretty sure God won't approve of.
Quote: for all of us know that the
muslim has a lesson to revenge for people who hurt u, we can see it isnt right.
Catholic gives prices for letters to erase sins, Budha worship for satues. u
juzt have to think wise, dont be blind.
Lol. Seriously? Is that really how you view other religions other than your own?
I'm...amazed.
I guess God would prefer honest unbelief?
But then again I don't think God is that narrow-minded so...
Quote by priincessa good person that
doesnt believe God isnt good enough, for he will do anything bad sooner bcoz he
doesnt know what is good and what is bad
A person who doesn't believe in God can't be good because he'll definitely do
something bad sooner or later? That's some negative way to look at
things.
Quote by SulibresAh, now I know; an
empathetic blob.
Hmmmm well I guess the sins that represents me the most would be wrath and
sloth. I get frustrated and angry really easily, although I might not show it.
And damn it, I am lazy. Lol.
Precisely. It is suppose to be a historical text. Hence the 'Whatever you had
posted, has nothing to do with science.'
Quote: by believe Him u can be
stronger n have meanings of ur life, also always think positive n wise. soo, why
not?
Let me tell you something priincess.
Thinking positively and wisely has nothing to do with believing in God.
It has more to do with believing in yourself, whether it is with or without
God's help.
Or do you honestly think that only believers are positive thinkers? That's a
rather biased view, don't you think?
Quote: i dont make opinion but
facts n histories
It is your opinion that the Bible is more important that science.
It is my opinion that science and religion are both important.
If I were to say that my opinion is fact, then I'm just being arrogant.
Look around, pay close attention: I don't think that what I believe in is the
absolute truth. There's always room for doubt.
Quote: that's too late. it means u
dont believe Him. God wouldnt appear in front of us directly bcoz He wants us to
believe Him, wether we can/cant see Him-that's not the
matter.
I'll just put it this way; my idea of God is very different from yours.
There are better reasons for me to believe in a God or many gods, or whatever it
is that I believe. I do not believe in a God so...unpleasant and unforgiving as
you make him to be. Probably you would think that I've been blinded by Satan or
something, but after reading your posts...to me your idea of God just doesn't
seem...right. Which is why I just can't take you seriously. Sorry, I don't mean
to be insulting or anything, but you'd be the last person to convince me of
anything at all.
...and I believe I'm very off-topic so...that's all I have to say for now.
Quote: there r many proofs that can
prove the bible is true. but because it was long time ago, not all of us can
find the profiles of the writers. the story of the bible were made in letters, n
they still keep it till now. btw bible is more important than
science.
Whatever you had posted, has nothing to do with science.
And believe whatever you want, but I just hope you realize that's just your
opinion,
Quote: whatever u say ^^ believers
must be patient for all things. im not goin down juzt bcoz of it =p seems like u
dont really understand God. if i were u, i would rather believe God bcoz i can
see people r worst than the people long time ago. if bcoz the bible, we can be
wise n think positive, why not?
Oh I'd believe in God/gods anytime as soon as He/they appear in front of me. And
why would I believe in a god just because people are worse now compared to last
time? O_o But guess what;
I'd rather not be associated with your religion, or any other religion at all,
period.
With people like you it's hard for me to take Christianity seriously.
Quote by DarkRose How umm... bias. Yeah,
it should be "who has been teaching you biology" seriously... we are
living longer than we have than the past 1000 years. -.-
Back then, we had no vaccines, practically no medical care, people can die just
by a fever and nowadays we don't die just merely by fever.
Well priincess is talking about the people who lived about 2000 odd years ago
who apparently also lived for a thousand years with no scientific proof
whatsoever. Just based on the Bible, which is NOT a scientific text in any sense
at all.
'Who has been teaching you biology' sounds just about right.
Quote by priincessuhm, my religion
teacher. he had many experiences like, suffered bcoz he believes God -n bcoz of
it, his family ignored him
Quote: But now (I'm sorry, many are
not going to like it), when somene says that "chose" (repeat to
accentuate: "CHOSE") to be agnosctic, atheist or whatever, USUALLY its
the sinonym of lazyness, selfhiness or negligence.
Quote: Because its a good way to
live a life doing nothing for others and everything for one self. As Ricky
Martin said, "let's 'live la vida loca!"... and to hell with everyone
and everything else. Forget about the poor, the abandoned, the neglected or the
thousand problems the world has.
I'd like to see an agnostic joining the Scouts, or Greenpeace, or
something.
Excuse me, but would you mind NOT jumping to idiotic conclusions?
Or I might soon have to come to an idiotic conclusion that most religious people
are narrow-minded, biased idiots.
Ever occurred to you that an atheist is an atheist because they simply don't SEE
any weird, superior entity that goes around dictating how we should live? Or
that an agnostic is an agnostic for the same reason, just that they're a little
more willing to believe in something that hasn't been proven to exist?
Whatever gave you the stupid idea that the religious people are hardworking,
kind, and caring, while the non-believers are lazy, selfish and
negligent?
That the agnostics/atheists won't do anything good for anyone else? That they
will forget about the poor, the abandoned, the neglected or the thousand
problems the world has? And only the religious will care about things like
that?
It's not a matter of 'not liking' what you think, but there's only one thing to
be said about your thoughts - narrow-minded.
I do not care if you believe in one God or a million other gods, or whatever it
is that you belief/lack belief in, but jumping to conclusions like that is just
stupid. It is better to do good to others for the sake of helping others than to
do good because you fear some repercussions from some superior being,
IMHO.
Quote: I'm sure God is disgusted
by the way you look down on other people and other religion. Amen to
that.
And I'm sure God is praying for you to have a more open mind. Amen.
Quote by HikaruKageIm agnostic. Though
i was raised a taoist, and officially a buddhist.
to me, everyone has a right to believe and not to believe and to stand in the
middle. though most say agnostics are 'spineless' for not standing for a cause.
(but i consider not standing for one of the options given a cause)
God might and might not exist. and everyone is entitled to their own opinion,
but not entitled to the right for shoving it in other ppl's throats
And even though I've been fed a lot of buddhism teachings, i still don't
fascinate myself with it. too many people i know use karma and merits as an
excuse to do good. i do good because i want to, not because of divine
retribution. though it is an effective way to make sure people watch their step.
=/
all in all. religion might be a good thing. just not my
thing.
Quote: the world was created in a
big boom. something had to make that big boom.
You know what, I find these two sentences really funny. See it's impossible for
a 'big boom' to 'just' happen, but it's perfectly possible to have some entity
that 'just exists'.
Quote: Finally, we all know there
is one GOD and really I see absolutely no reason to reject GOD or GOD's
existence.
Sorry, but we don't ALL KNOW that. It so happens one BELIEVES that there's one
God, or many gods, or none at all, depending on that person. And it so happens
that you believe in just one God. You. Not 'we all'.
...do you expect to gain anyone's respect at all by posting that?
I just realized that I had forgotten to comment on that song.
Well. It's a song. Yes I think I have heard it before on one my visits to my
cousin's church.
However, that's exactly what it is. A song. I don't feel any inclination to it
at all.
Heaven...and Hell.
Do they really exist? Well I don't know, I've never been there before, have
I?
But it's safe enough for me to say that I'm not much of a believer, although I
personally HOPE that something like that exists. Why? Well, it's
rather...depressing to think that we'd just disintegrate and be
forgotten..lol.
And Kokuyu...as always, you have a really interesting pov

Don't you think it depends on the level of extremism?
Cause if case if you haven't noticed, there are many extremists out there doing all sorts of things that I'm pretty sure God won't approve of.
Of natural causes, preferably. When I'm really old and wrinkled. Lol.
Lol. Seriously? Is that really how you view other religions other than your own? I'm...amazed.
I guess God would prefer honest unbelief?
But then again I don't think God is that narrow-minded so...
A person who doesn't believe in God can't be good because he'll definitely do something bad sooner or later? That's some negative way to look at things.
*shrugs* lol.
Hmmmm well I guess the sins that represents me the most would be wrath and sloth. I get frustrated and angry really easily, although I might not show it. And damn it, I am lazy. Lol.
Congrats to all winners!
I vote for 2 and 6.
Good luck everyone! Lovely walls, all of them

That's a bit harsh but you know what? I'll have to agree with onyhow.
This is just crazy! I can't believe what I'm reading in these forums.
Just believe, says she.
Although...why on earth would we want to sit on a star?
I believe I can fly, so am I flying? Right now? This very moment? O_o
You know what priincess...you really don't make much sense.
Well priincess is talking about the people who lived about 2000 odd years ago who apparently also lived for a thousand years with no scientific proof whatsoever. Just based on the Bible, which is NOT a scientific text in any sense at all.
'Who has been teaching you biology' sounds just about right.
And that explains it all *rolls eyes*

AMEN TO THAT!
LOL DarkRose.
Amen to what Kokuyu said too
*cough* excuse this but...AMEN TO THAT
You know what, I find these two sentences really funny. See it's impossible for a 'big boom' to 'just' happen, but it's perfectly possible to have some entity that 'just exists'.
Weird ain't it.
Me, I think people who are a fanatics about anything at all are scary...and delusional.
I'm scared
Sorry, but we don't ALL KNOW that. It so happens one BELIEVES that there's one God, or many gods, or none at all, depending on that person. And it so happens that you believe in just one God. You. Not 'we all'.

Well, yes, I have. Not often, just occasionally when I have absolutely no mood to attend classes. Lol.
Heaven...and Hell.
Do they really exist? Well I don't know, I've never been there before, have I?
