The Christians are Evil?

[Layla-Day]

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The Christians are Evil?

Mal, all the stuff pertaining to homosexuality in the Bible is in Leviticus, I am fairly certain (I saw it in context).

But if the Christians are going to follow obscure Bible verses (like the ones pertaining to homosexuality), why don't they follow all the verses in Leviticus as law? Who's up for some animal sacrifice? Child beating, anyone?

that was amusing.

We don't do that anymore, because its against the law, and also they say you have to obey the laws.

::BEFORE I CONTINTUE-I can't believe this went tid far without ignorant aguing!::

Christians are regular people, and I am christian, and I am not ashamed nor shy about my Religious beliefs.

For someone to say that Christians are hipocrites are hipocrites theirselves.

When you make a topic or argument of a large group of people, you should literally be slapped upside the head. Stereotyping gets us all nowhere.

And also, there are many things that set us apart from everyone else.
Be it height, weight, voices, shoe size, skin color, race. Whether you wanna except it or not,
Religion is one.That is what makes the world more beautiful!

Another thing I believe, is that God makes everything happen for a reason.

Ex 1:Slavery.
A.Without Slavery, the world would be different. The whole world would be diverse.
B: I'd probably still be in africa dying or dead of AIDS.

Ex 2: This current war.(Before I continue, this will show my religious beliefs, so if you do not belive in God, skip this section.
A:This war will set off one of the most critical times for religious and non religious people. I would say, but for security, I won't.

So in conclusion: I love everybody. Be it Christian, Catholic, or Athiest, I love them. I notcie everyone is different, and I've grown to except it.

For everyone hiding behind the same Leviticus rant that I used to hide behind when it came to showing how dated religion is: It's a part of the old testament. Perhaps you've heard of it, maybe not. But along came the new testament to replace the old testament... And, why, what's that? Religion IN THE BIBLE has gone to prove that things change (Old/New Testament). Of course, some people don't get and others choose not to see it that way... I mean, I am by no means a man of strong faith, but I do know that things change and the Bible in this instance has accomadated itself for such change by adding on a second testament...

Now, people might rebute and say, "Well, it's God's word, it can't be changed and QED God isn't real." Well, sure. Except the Bible is simply an interpretation of Man, and Man is fallible. And those that say, "Man is made in God's divine image," well, that's very true. Adam was, and then he was cast out of Eden and commited incest and his son murdered etc etc etc... So, corruption along the line because of original sin also accomadates things...

But, a point in the Bible that so many people miss? Well, this just shows how influential people are on the creation of a modern Bible: Back in the old days, the fish market was tanking very much. So much, that the guild of fisherman and mongers went to the high priest demanding something be done or they would lose a valuable support group for the Catholic church... Next thing you know, the church passes a decree stating that meat shall not be eaten on a Friday; instead, people turn to fish, the market reinflates, and the Friday meat rule finds its way into the next revision of the Bible...

Yes, it has its faults. But, please know where to find them.

Though you were using that as an example, the meat part anyways. It's said that we don't eat meat on fridays in the Bible because Jesus died on Friday. So I could still see how that could of been interpreted into the next Bible.

[MalReynolds]

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The Christians are Evil?

True, but (although most revisionist texts are lost) that was added sometime later, and not at the beginning (after Christ died). It took a while for that to be written in, and it took a major event; a depression in the fish market. And, of course, saying we shouldn't eat meat on Friday because that is the day Christ died is also a very good cover, but it does seem thrown in, no? I mean, if anything, logically, it should be Thursday because that is when Christ introduced that His body was bread (not meat) and his blood was wine (again, not meat). I might have my dates screwed up, but considering that is called "The Last Supper", I'm lead to believe it took place the day before... Of course, I could be wrong. It has happened before... But...

Ya' know.

Mal, that just sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Sure, I guess it's possible, but it's not convincing.

I think the main thing here is not whether or not christianity helps the world... it's about the truth, dignity and integrity.

Has anyone here read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley?

I really like that book... anyways, it's about people being conditioned to love their place in life and they constantly take drugs in order to maintain their happiness.

I think this relates to religion in the sense that maybe you're not really being honest with yourself. To simply accept a belief and devote your life to it in return for happiness and a possibly false sense of security and understanding... is that what we really want? Or do we want to find the truth and see it with our own eyes.

Sure you can be happy... or you could painfully seek the truth. This girl is arguing for the dystopia presented in Brave New World.

Yesterday, I went to see the Exorcism of Emily Rose, and it was more than I thought it was going to be.

And for those who don't know, it was about a case( in court) over a spiritual matter. If you don't know, just see the movie.

My point is, this is what's really going on now. Science or Religion, and which one are you going to rely on.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The Christians are Evil?

I should whip out that giant page of things that Jesus said that we would consider so wrong in today's society.

I'll have to find it; it's great.

The church obviously is changing. In 1992 Sir Isaac Newton was forgiven for being excommunicated. I personally think the church is losing the battle against science. One thing i like about Amish people is their strict code about no electricity and stuff. I am not religous, but that just makes sense to me that if you would be praying to someone/something not having to do with science, you wouldn't have science in your life at all.

[GuidoHunter]

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The Christians are Evil?

Religion and science are, by no means whatsoever, mutually exclusive.

And your comment about the Amish was completely retarded.

Boris, is it that huge section in Leviticus that has been beaten to death already? Because if it has, stop beating it.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The Christians are Evil?

I've read the Leviticus, but I know that a lot of people don't do the offerings explained in the Leviticus. Or the cleanslyness (if that's a word) of man and woman. God instructed the Isrealites to wash their garments and bathe in fresh water. Then you would be clean by evening. I don't quite get it. If you get dirty you were supposed to do that.

Oh, by the way I'm new

[MalReynolds]

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The Christians are Evil?

Leveticus is OLD TESTAMENT! Why isn't anyone listening to me? This is just getting absurd.

I will never stop beating it. It just feels right.
