be tolerant

[GHoSToKeR]

in my eyes god doesnt exist. but, i totally understand and embrace other people who believe in god. everyone has their reasons for believin in a god or gods, and it helps them get along with their lives. the way i see it, god exists in the people who need him, but thats it. the lyrics to 'Jesus Walks' by Kanye West say it perfect...

"I ain't here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus"

the way i see it, it doesnt matter what other people believe, only what YOU belive, what YOU have faith in.. dont get down and angry because the people around you dont think the same way as you... we're all humans man, shit. we're all made outta the same stuff, wether we black, white, japanese, american, portuguese, it dont matter! when we'r naked we'r all the same, maybe we're different colours, shapes sizes, but what does that matter? if u get one white cat and one black cat, one cat from india and one cat from pakistan, and put them in a room, they dont start beatin on eachother? naw, coz none of that shit matters! we all the fuckin same in the end!. so anyway, just be tolerant of ppls beliefs and accept it, and hopefully theyll do the same about you and your beliefs, oherwise this world is gonna get more and more fucked up, and its gonna stay fucked up, but if we all learn to be tolerant, then we'll be aiight.. just remember, no matter what anyone else believes, the only thing you should give a fuck about is WHAT YOU BELIEVE.. if ppl start to think that like, then hell, maybe one day all this bullshit will stop and we can live in world without fighting, killing, war, all that shit.. and thats what we all want, right?

Preach on, brother ghost toker!

Seriously, I agree with you. I don't believe in any god either, but I believe in myself and my abilities.

religion causes to many problems 80% of wars and killing are over it....yet another useless human concept there seem to be alot out there but i totaly agree with u ghost

[GHoSToKeR]

yea religion does cause alot of wars, simply coz no1s fuckin tolerant of other ppls beliefs.. its all "im right, ur wrong" that kidna shit, it totally sucks

[Ammie]

no comment ill move on

[YES]

Well, its a good philosophy, but i just dont agree. Im not even gonna go into it.

Religion does cause wars, and its sad that it does. If we would all just sit down with a bong everyday, i think the world would be a better place. Sure we would all be coughing our lungs up but we'd be happy right?

yeah i agree, ive been told that im going to hell by ppl in my skool and that there religion is the right one and the others are fake and all that, well i believe der is a god but its not up there to ansewer prayers and bless you, gods in everyone whethere he or she chooses to embrace it or not, personnaly i dont i believe we are controlled by a superior being but like i said i beleive that god is in all of us and it is called our concious

[GHoSToKeR]

YES why dont you agree with being tolerant of other people and their beliefs?

[Mole2k4]

firstly,
put 4 males cats in a room, and they will fight, fact.

regardless of where they are from.
lol
and on a serious note, to be honest, I know what your saying.
But wars are caused by other people IMPOSING, their views onto others.
It's not all, peace and love, or, you mind yours, i'll mind mine, because it's an integral part, for them to recruit others.
For example, sorry to use these faiths, but they are the most obvious.
Muslim's only go to their "heaven" if they recruit other people into the faith.
And Jehovah's witnesses and admittadly christians now a days do.
for example, I dont believe in a 6/8 armed blue elephant, but I don't insult it, the problem rest's in all faith's attacking each other, because it's part of that faith.
Christian's are taught god is the only god, others are taught allah. etc etc etc
The problem is the faiths themselves and the followers without enough free will to determine where to bend the rules.

Ghostoker, I do believe in being tolerant and understanding of other people beliefs. What i meant was i dont agree with was you statement about not being a God. I believe in a God and if that makes me a sucker (as someone has told me before) so be it.

IM just curious, why dont you believe in a God? What do you think is the purpose of life with no creator. Im not gonna preach im just wondering.

Im a bit of a philospher and theologion, so this could go all night. Im confused about many things concerning religion and everytime i debate with someone my head starts to hurt. By i respect you and whatever you believe.
