You mother ****er. How dare you question my commitment to God and to helping others. If you really want to know, I help out at a local foodbank every weekend that I can get home from university. I will definitely be there this upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. I go to church, I donate to the church, and I donate money to charities that I choose. Do not ever question what I will do when I graduate university. First of all, I want to get into a not for profit business and be there accountant. And if that doesn't work out, who cares? How about I become a the CFO for a huge company? Yeah, how about I make millions of dollars? Yeah, even if I do, I will never forget who I believe in, and I will never stop helping out those who are less fortunate.

You really pissed me off with that comment man.

Well first of all, a Christian is one who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

Second of all, nobody on Earth is perfect. There are many Christians who do great things in the name of God. There are many Christians who sin.

But you know what? If these people realize that they sinned, and tell that to God, they will go to heaven. Therefore, they are still Christians.

I aplologize, it was wrong of me to attack what I didn't know, I should have phrased my point differently. What I'm trying to say is, fundamentally, you're supposed to do EVERYTHING you can to help others. Not just what's comfortable. And Christianity is supposed to be about following every teaching or doing of Jesus. I know some self-professed "Christians" who do nothing of the sort. It's kind of like they use it as a veil to cover up their mistakes. Sin all during the week, go to church, get your slice of Christ, be set for another week. That kind of belief is what pisses me off.

Thanks for the apology man. I was super pissed at what you said, haha.

Anyways, I am not sure if my priest made this up or not, but one time he said:

"John didn't go to hell for what he did on Sunday. He went to hell for what he did on Monday."

Ha I like that one.
This is how it goes so often, people go to church on sunday, but forget God the rest of the week.

And I want to explain again that the bible teaches that there are 3 things you have to do to get 'saved': belief, knowledge, actions.

People who only simply believe it, but don't act like it, are wrong. People who live a good life, but refuse to believe in God (when given the chance), are wrong too.

And the Pope isn't free of sin, far from it.

Lets go back to 3 people. I shall name them.

1. Mother Theresa.(sp?)
2. Jesus Christ.
3. Pope John Paul(sp?) (whichever one it is now)


There are probably more, but meh.

What horrific unperfect things have these people done?

[Joeiss]

I meant other than Jesus, lol.

And you can sin in your thoughts too. NOBODY IS PERFECT (except for Jesus).
