What religion are you?

[Crono]

I'll say some things to you Typhoid:

Christianity and Catholicism are the same thing. Cathlocism is just a branch of the Christain faith. Not sure if you knew that or not, just letting you know.

There are a number of things science has not been able to prove. So why do you single out a religion? Science has not proven where the first human came from, it's all a theory. And that's exactly what religion is, IMO... just a theory. Not proven to be true. Not proven to be false.

I know they are the same.

And i never said Science hasnt provent God exists, or Heaven, or Hell. I just said It hasnt been proven. Nobody has been there, nobody has seen God. Nobody has been to hell and back, or to heaven and back.

And like i said, i have nothing against religion, or religious people. I seem o get harped on here so much for anything I say, when in fact I have nothing agaisnt any of the people that view otherwise than me. I could take equal insult about religious people saying God does exist, because im Athiest, and technically, God is against my "religion". And people keep forcing religion on me.

Religion gives meaning to people, and I understand and respect that.


It just makes me mad because i always gett he perverbial gangbang of arguments for saying what I believe. Yet, I harp on none of you.

And Thusly, I am tired of being the perverbial black man in the circle of the KKK, so I am taking a break.

We're not against you, Sean, we just want you to experience the same glory and peace in your life as we do in ours through the power of God's almighty care and love. All you have to do is put your faith in him.

It's the only way the feelings of sadness, despair, and lonliness you feel will go away. Medicine can't replicate God's love.

You sound like those damned Jehovah's that come to my door every month.

THANKS!

So now I'm damned because I'm a Jehovah's Witness???

I am not the one pushing my belief on anyone here...

And besides, we don't visit you every month. More like twice a year.

I don't personally have anything against them...It's just that I don't understand why they have to keep coming back. We live in the country, in the middle of nowhere. They have to drive out to see us...it just seems like a lot of effort for a cause that if it doesn't work the first time you come to someone's house, it probably will not work the second time.

Anyway, I think the reason they keep returning is because my Step-dad is always real nice to them. If he isn't home I usually just pretend I'm not there either so I don't have to interact with them and feel awkward...

Canyarion, you've never come to my door, so you're not damned.

Well first of all, if you pretend to not be at home, yes, they will come back next week.
We keep track of who was home and who wasn't, so you better just open up.

And there are plenty of cases where people were always agressive towards us, but after a while something happens and they're suddenly interested and became our brother or sister.
Coming back helps, really.

And perhaps I don't come at your door, but I come at others, so........

Think about it, if we do so much effort to tell people, it must be very important.

"If I save a busload of childrens lives, I wont go to heaven because i didnt do it for God?"

No. If you are a non-believer, you will not go to heaven. If you believe in God, you will.

If you are a non believer, you still did a great thing, but it is meaningless. Christians live their lives to go to heaven for eternity. I am not sure if you understand that. So everything that we do should be done for our faith.

Do you take a big steamy sh*t every morning in Gods name?

Have you ever had pre-marital sex for God? (Totally forget which religions that is for)

I understand where you come from and what your saying, i justhate it when people seem to push their religion, or religious beliefs upon me. I know nobody is directing them at me...well....except GM in his last post. But its no big deal.

I just dont get the idea of devoting your life to something.

But i revert back to what i said, religion is geographical.

If any of us grew up in the Middle East, we would be Muslim, (most likely) If we grew up in Utah, we would be Mormon, if we grew up in Japan we would be Shintoists.

How many American born, white Shintoists do you see?

How many Asian born Muslims are there?


9And yes, I am singling out certain religions, because these are the only ones that came to my head.)

Dearest Sean, you are missing the stress of our proclamations.

It is not WHAT you do for God, but rather WHY you do for God.

We serve God in appreciation and holy thanks for his ultimate sacrifise.

A life under God, is the only correct life.

And those who are not under God, have not yet allowed themselves to be succumbed by his beacon of righteousness. And until they do, they will not feel salvation in their Earthly lives and they will not be granted access to his Holy Kingdom in the after life.

Dearest Jeff.

What exactly did God sacrifice?

No, the life under God is not the only correct life, I am living a correct life without god. Its subjective. You think Im wrong for not believing in God, and while i dont think your wrong, i dont understand it, nor will I.

I feel salvated, thank you very much.

Dont make assumptions about how athiests live and think. We are the same people. Just because we dont pray to some imaginary old man in the sky doesnt mean were wrong, It means we have different beliefs, in a way, Atheism could be considered a religion. In a way. Not a religious way.

Okay, so if I go out on a killing spree and murder 1,000 people I’m gonna go to Heaven as long as I believe in God?

Sounds like you can justify what happened on 9/11 just because the people who did it believe in their God. Or maybe not, since they don’t believe in your Christian God? So then, anybody who isn’t Christian is going to Hell right?

So what about the millions of people that grow up in small countries that are never even introduced to Christianity? Just because they weren’t taught about your Christian beliefs they’re gonna go to Hell? You believe that any loving God would condemn so many people for an ignorance they didn’t choose to have? I mean... Wow...

Why should somebody be judged by what they believe? That’s not important. Who you are, what you feel, and why you live your life the way you live it – somehow those things seem a little bit more important. But maybe that’s just me.

I just can’t believe how intolerant some Christians are. It just disgusts me to be one sometimes...

It was written by men in the name of God. Just because I take a crap and say God told me to do it doesn't mean he did. I believe what God shows me. I don't have to believe everything that was written in a book by a bunch of people thousands of years ago. I believe some of the things in the Bible. I'm a Christian, I believe in Jesus. But that has nothing to do with me being a good person.

I would like to remind everyone that this is Gamemaster making these statements. Let's think about that for a second. Is it even possible for him to be serious when talking about something other than video games?
