I think everybody needs to understand that a REAL christian admits that they fuck up just as much as everybody else and all they are doing is trying to be better people. A TRUE christian does not do nice things to get into heaven(that is not the way there) but to do nice things for the community and other people, it makes them feel good. A GOOD christian is not somebody that goes to church every sunday and is also a millionare living in a ritsy suburb thinking that because God says so they only have to give 10 % of their money to the church. many of those people are hypocrites and it saddens me that they shame the name of my fellow christians.

The Ireland thing: Check out the old Celtic religions.

Spirituality vs Status Quo/Sheep Syndrome: I worship Eris every day of my life. Granted, much of it comes naturally, being aligned toward entropy anyhow. But if you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk.

Revan I think the parable of the tax collector and that other guy would really illustrate your point. I'd look up thepassage for everyone, but I've had to move all of my books. My religious texts are in varied piles along with everything else.
Apparently writing about JM here is his secret weakness. Muwahaha!!!! Now I have leverage over him and am another step closer towards my goal of world domination.

Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.

We had a praise band rehearsal yesterday. God was good to us, from the marked improvement to the time saved, and even the technology to post this little clip. (we still need work.)

Hehe. That's a pretty sweet band name, I must say... I promise I won't steal it from you and add it to my list. (I'd prolly change "Jesus" to "Jebus" because I don't do Christian music and what have you.)

The new testament books were written by Jews, in the middle east, whom had very little contact with celtic folk (from the north, not talking about the Galatians) from some Island far up north, which was still not fully discovered by the Romans expansion. So trade and communication between far northern Isles and the centre of the world (rome) was very limited.

1) Jesus claimed to be God

2) Jesus spoke of a God in heaven, whom he called father

3) The bible claims that accepting Christ as your saviour will baptize you with the holy spirit. (only God is holy, therfore the spirit must be God)

The idea of calling it a holy trinity is just a means to acknowledge that God exsited (and exists) in three entities.


http://www.vincentpe...060.040.010.010

That site talks about a Chrisitian missionary using a shamrock to help explain the trinity to them. You'd think they'd have an understanding of it since it was the Christians who borrowed it from them, eh?

Celtic religions are pagan. They are not even slightly close to being a monothesitic faith. Christianity did not lift Celtic myths or values. It was very much against them.

Believing there is someone all powerful to look after you and wash everything away is so fucken immature I dont even know where to begin. How about taking responsibility for your actions
How about less time spent judging and more time spent helping
How about thinking, pausing, thinking again, waiting ..... then thinking once more and construct an opinion rather than an emotion.

Fucken Christians, all running to suckle on Mother Gods Teet

You're an idiot. You made up a bunch of stuff and over exagerated. Ass. All Christians are responsible for their own actions.

Are you the guy who told me to rethink my wording concerning homosexuals. God damn hypocrite. you dont see us going around bashing athiests. we do take responsibilities for our sins by accepting christ. would you rather burn in hell for eternity or thank someone who suffered so we dont have to.

I'm not talking about the concept of the Trinity - but the symbol - the one you see at Trinity Church, the three-pointed intertwining mass that was the first Christendom-wide Trinity Symbol is an Irish carving, done in Irish monasteries by monks with pagan memories.

Jordan I wholeheartedly agree.

Bateman that is one of the biggest piles of Bullshit ever, but I think you know that anyway. That is one very big generalization. So where is your proof? Do you personally know every single Christian that is currently alive or has passed away? Something tells me that you do not. The only things that I ask God for are to forgive me my sins known and unknown, (even if I tried to fix what I did or redeem myself) and if I really need help with something. Also just because I ask for something doesn't always mean that God complies with my demands.

Follow a religion for what it is about, not just the people who are in it.

Here are two questions for anyone who doesn't believe in anything.
What is the point of life?
If you don't believe in God than why (if you do do this) do you use the Lord's name in vain? ex. God dammit, Jesus H. Christ, Holy shit (I know the technicality), etc.

And please, no bullshit answers. Think before you type.
