Also... You know everyone has a right to vioce they're own oppinion, so here is mine. I think that people who are alike don't get along as good as poeple whoare different. With the exception of a few people, because both of my best friends are like sisters to me...... not friends... get it?

I know this is an oppinion that kind of has nothing to do with what evryone else is saying... but I think that different religons in this world is great.... sometimes it brings people together, and sometimes it brings people to become enemys. I believe in hate. I just dont see how people can hate each other just because, well, they're different. If everyone in the world was the same religon, looked the same, and acted the same, where do you think we would be in this world? Probably no where at all. If everyone thought the same, think of how many different inventions we wouldnt have. Like nothing.......

 

[jarfrog]

i understand. you get bored of the same things. with somebody that is not much like you gives you a chance to do new stuff and new stuff is always fun

 

[jarfrog]

BUMP

Listen, Jarfrog and poohbaby, you guys should have your little personal conversations somewhere else somewhere else, cause this was a good conversation, but that kind of stuff should be saved for a pm or on the phone.
Back to religion.

only one on this thread, out of over 350 people that have looked at it, that is critisizing faith and god.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'll try to conform and be like each and every one of you. And I'll try very hard to keep my ideas to myself because apparently they're unpopular. Yes, I am the only person here fighting religion. But because I am the minority does not mean that I shouldn't be expressing my thoughts and beliefs. Who else was supposedly the minority at the time in expressing his beliefs? Jesus. Martin Luther King gave his idea in a predominately white area, and I'm throwing out my beliefs in a predominately Christian area.

ultimate religion is about living your life in a moral and ethical way.

This is EXACTLY the point I was just making. What I was saying is that if I live a good and wholesome life, why should I need to follow God to get more moral steering in my life? I do not feel anything is missing in my life, so I dont need religion. And instead of trying to convert other people, maybe you should spend time doing God's work on Earth instead of trying to convince people that they are living life wrong and that the Christian way is perfect. Mother Theresa never tried to convert people, she helped people immensly. That is God's work.

i realize i'm joining in on this discussion pretty late, but here's my opinion...

and by the way, i agree with just about everything JuviRex11 has said. well said on many of your arguments!

(on to my opinion)
this isn't an attack on any particular religion, however, some of the posters to the thread have been very preachy and sounds to be like they are unaccepting of others views. i guess i could be considered a christian, i was born one and i go to church (only because i'm forced, mind you), but i don't feel that people need to criticise others' beliefs, which they are doing when they start to preach. i am offended when i hear people preach or when people on the streets hand out pamphlets on "the good works of jesus." i find that to be very rude. if, for example, i was agnostic, i would be incredibly offended by people who are trying to push their beliefs on me.

and about the decision that was made to allow religious clubs in public schools after hours. i agree with that (surprisingly!) if and only if equal opportunity is given to all religions, including christians and satanists.

and i guess i'm going to hell too. i'll see you there, JuviRex11.

 

[poohbaby]

you can not be born a christian your parents can noot save you you have to believ in christ yourself

 

[jarfrog]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. i am sorry for saying that about you and i should not have been so criticall. again sorry. i am sad that the girlw/guitar says that she is going to hell, all she has to do is beleive in god and beleive that his son died on the cross to wipe away the sins of every person so that every one would have the choice to go to heaven. the day that he died and rose again saddened jesus and god more than any human could ever feel. it also saddens god to see some one back away from a chance of more love than ever could be shown. its like a million dollars being given for free. you dont deny it you take it. and girlw/guitar, you are right about all religions in schools, but i do not think any of them should be tauhgt as fact because that would force ideas into childrens heads. or either have those religions taught as optionary classes. then to get back to juvirex, if you do not have god then you will have an emptiness that nothing can fill.

maybe that's why i'm offended. i don't need to hear that. i know that already. it's whether or not i chose to believe it. you can't make that decision for me; no one should be able to, which is essentially what organized religion is.


juvirex, add me to your (short) list of those fighting religion.

 

[poohbaby]

all i am going to say is that i will pray for the both of you

 

[WebmasterAlex]

Hey guys?
If you have something to say fine, but it isn't neccesary to keep bumping posts

 

[jarfrog]

webmasteralex did you get the complaint

 

[JuviRex11]

Don't pray for me, I don't want to be prayed for, I want to live my life free of the guilt-trip that is religion.

if you do not have god then you will have an emptiness that nothing can fill.

Ok, you just hit a nerve. Your life is full and you are happy. You attribute this to God. More power to you. My life is full and happy with or without god. How dare you make judgments about my life. Actually, when I was a choir/altar boy, I was very lonely and had no friends. When I became what I am now, my life has skyrocketed. I am not attributing that to losing God in my life, but I am saying that my life is a lot more fun now that Im not worried about what God is thinking about what I'm doing. Not that Im doing anything sacrireligious or anything. My life is empty? You think yours is full because you have God. There are people who don't believe in God, so you think that their life is empty because they are Godless. You attribute everything to you, which is selfish.
And everything you have said about God and Jesus dying and so on, I don't believe any of it, so what affect would that have on me. Don't throw your God guilt trip on me or Girlwithguitar, because unlike many members of your religion, we aren't going to be sucked in. Guilt this.
