I had a revelation

[pu ekot]

Alright so last night I had a revelation. I figured out christianity.

It wasn't about punishing the sinners, or stopping them from sinning. That's what hell's for. It was about loving thy neighbor, and not sinning. If they want to be lesbians, let them, their choice to sin. But you must forgive and still love them! If they choose to keep sinning, that's their choice, they will pay for it later, but you must still love and forgive them.

Oh and btw, I'm not a christian, I am speaking from a christian point of view, I don't believe in heaven or hell.

What ya'll think?

Right, I'm sure that that's what it was supposed to have been when Jesus taught it.

But now...it seems to have wavered from that a bit. (No matter that the bible hasn't really changed)

[Jaycub]

no.

See what happens when you stay up, get stoned and watch The Passion?

[pu ekot]

Haha, I didn't watch the passion, don't plan on it.

I was just thinking about how much I hate the moral majority and christian right and all that bullshit, and how christians pretend to be so "love everyone" but if you say "oh I'm a satanist" or "they shouldn't but 'In God We Trust' on currency" they flip a shit and cease to love thy neighbor.

If I was Jesus, who was def. a socialist, I would be right pissed that these stupid conservatives are using me the way that they are.

Ah well, that's life I suppose.

Christianity is all about loving one another. Jesus taught this. Christians are the exact opposite. They are pompous and contourt everything Jesus says to fit their needs. Heaven and Hell? Scare tactics to keep people from doing bad. I do not believe in God and am very glad I have chosen this. Once you stop believing in God you wake up. You see things from another, less biased, perception.

I also like how Christians can go on for hours denying other gods but once you say anything about theirs you are wrong and terrible. Also think about your belief in Jesus. Virgin impregnated by a spirit, gives birth to man-god who eventually dies. Comes back to life. And than floats to a sanctuary in the sky.

religion makes no sense at all to me and the thing about lesbians and gey dudes and shit i dont understand how thats a sin if its what you feel is right

the bible is probably the best fiction ever sold

[pu ekot]

I hope when you say "your" you mean "their" :P

Yeah, I think that people are taking it way too literally. Most of those people don't actually believe any of that ridiculous shit happened, which makes it easier for them to contort the rest of the story into their utopia.

@Dankman haha I think Scientology tops it by a little bit.

AFAIC, scientology was Hubbard's cruel but hilarious joke. I feel bad for people who actually believe dead alien souls make them feel bad.

But at the same time, if that's what the choose to believe, I have no problem with it.
