Do you believe in god?

By you I mean Christians.

I donâ??t know why people are getting sooooo fucking bent out of shape about all of this.

It seems to me if the Christians on this thread are being attacked more than they are attacking.

I donâ??t understand all this fucking hostilityâ?¦.

I am a Christian��..why does that bother you so much ( and the you is in general terms)

[WEED]

god doesn't make sense.

Because atheists and non-christians all over the planet have put with holier-than-thou preaching for 2,000 years, and we're fucking sick of it. Now's the time to change things, and hopefully religion will not exist anymore withing the next 200-300 years.

For 2,000 you were the persecuters and the executioners, you constantly hindered progress, both social and scientific. You put other people down becuse they didn't believe as you do, you forced people to believe as you do on pain of death and torture.

Now, I am no longer scared to offend anyone by saying that Christianity is bull, because you have offended me greatly.

According to my mum and her religious friends, God put dinasour fossils in the Earth as a way, to put it simply, to give is something to do. Same with the rest of the Universe - it's all just there for our amusement, apparantly. Or at least to keep us occupied.

Does make sense. I've been told God has a sense of humor. I don't know the basis of their conclusions.

This reminds me of a discussion I had with a guy about Lord of the Rings. Not long after the movie came out all he could talk about was LOTR, how great it was, so on so forth. I go and see it and of course its just not really my thing and Im, more or less, picking it apart. Everything I see thats wrong with it logic-wise, I found it, and then brought it to him being the ass that I am, lol.

Nah, it wasn't that bad, I do have some restraint not to totally rip into something someone loves, but during the discussion I found him to get irritated that I would bring up any flaw or anything that lacked logic even if my doing so was in the most respectful way. He was so into this movie, he loved the fantasy so much that even though he might concede I was right with whatever crap I would bring to his attention, my doing that was definitely taking away his investment in the fantasy and he was resenting me for it.

Anyway, what your post reminded me the most of this story was I said something like "why didnt the wizard just poof 'em to where the ring was? Throughout the movie he can do all this wicked cool magic, but he cant do that?" By this time Im probably beng a little smug, cuz I do understand thats not much of a movie if he just poofs em there and there we go, end of story.
I realized just how much his investment in the fantasy was when he said "You dont understand wizards..." and proceeded to tell me about powers of wizards which he offered no basis for. I realized then that no amount of logic is going to make this person let go of the fantasy he holds so dear to his heart, and that even the goofiest of explanations he'll accept as long as it supports this fantasy.

I have not been alive for 2,000 yearsâ?¦â?¦.so Iâ??m pretty sure I havenâ??t done shit to you.

Iâ??m not putting anyone down because they DONâ??T believe in God.

And Iâ??m pretty sure no one has tortured or threatened to kill you because you donâ??t believe.


Sorry to have offended you greatly ��errrr�..I guess.

So you donâ??t want freedom of religionâ?¦â?¦.hmmm.

I think perhaps youâ??re in the wrong country.



AGAINâ?¦..I still donâ??t know why the fact that Iâ??m a Christian makes a shit to you or anyone else.


Edit: Nevermind I just saw that your from Canada.....perhaps you are in the right country.
