if the big guy upstairs wants me to believe in him, he can bring his ass down here and prove to me he exists.

or, if the entity is female, she can bring her ass down here, and prove her existance to me.

or if the entity doesnt have a gender, they can bring themself down here, and prove their existance to me..

or if its multiple entities, with or without genders, they can all come down here, and prove their existance to me..

and then i shall prove them wrong. thus making them not exist anymore, and the problem of what religion is the right one will never be solved.

and i will never give a fuck. its what you believe in, so dont try and shove that shit down my throat, because i believe your wrong, and nothing you wont say will change that fact.

After you convert, if you even try to come after me I will put you on ignore. ;)


This is America son, don't go around forcing your religious views on everyone else.


:withstupid: :ninja

Religion - an absolute, big hefty no no for me. I don't need to say more.

James - you're not really stupid. Besides, I do agree with you. No-one has any right to force anything on anyone.

Has anyone ever questioned a Pastor, Minister etc. why the dinosaurs are not in the Bible? Or how can the Bible be taken as verbatim when many of the books were written years after the events happend? I was always to scared to ask my Pastor.

I've never actually asked myself, but I've heard Matt talk to his rabbi and sat in on some of the discussions (he's known this particular rabbi since birth). Matt actually wanted to be a rabbi when he was growing up, so he's pretty knowledgable about the whole thing. It's interesting. Judaism has always encouraged questioning and theories, because how else are you to know what is really asked of you?

Myself, growing up, church was a given. And I really, really believed it until I was old enough to realize that certain things were done quite wrong in my household, and for the most part, the reasoning was because of religion. Questioning was basically forbidden. My dad stopped going to church, which at the time I thought was terrible, but I now know it was the result of careful bargaining and a lot of fighting on his part (he's actually Buddhist now). Religion really, really screwed up my childhood. If my mother weren't so religious, I can guarantee I'd be a lot better off (from a psychological view) today.

theese new breed religeons really tic me off. By new breeds i mean protestant religeons that were created during the protestant reformation. people like john calvin, martin luther, and John clark run around thinking they can create religeons just because they dont believe with catholicism.

If your are protestant by faith, i am not trying to offend. Im simply saying the difference between protestant and catholic isnt really alot.... They are minor differences but they werent at all big enough you can go around creating your own churches for it.

I still think when it comes down to it, Mothodism and Catholicism are the main christian religeons.

foudn this:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] A search for the word "dragon" in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible produces 34 separate matches across 10 different books written between approximately 2000 BC and 90 AD. The word "dragon" ( Hebrew: tannin) is used throughout the Old Testament, and most directly translates as "sea or land monsters." Interestingly, Genesis 1:21 describes God's creation of sea dragons (tannin) on the 5th day. Today's Bible translations use the following terms instead: "great whales" (KJV), "the great creatures of the sea" (NIV), "the great sea monsters" (NASB), and "great sea creatures" (NLT, NKJV). However, the original Hebrew is more descriptive of the sea-going dinosaurs we now see in numerous museums throughout the world. Even more dramatic is the Book of Job, where the author describes the great land creature, Behemoth (Job 40), and the great water creature, Leviathan (Job 41). Although the latest Bible translations use the words elephant, hippo or crocodile instead of Behemoth and Leviathan, the original Hebrew and the context of the descriptions do not allow for these interpretations.[/FONT]
