[b]HE, SONHOUSE, says christianity (and all religions) are causing overconsumerism and social inequality. so i told HIM that if anything, jesus promotes the opposites. there was an example that at least a religion (and i chose christianity because i am more fami ...[text shortened]... ision be based on the teachings of Jesus? Would your decision be because of your religion?
so if i tell you chocolate is bad and you shouldn't eat any. yet you do and you get diabetes or get to weigh a ton, it is my fault?
yeh, i think we're done here. i need the real twhitehead to call me and set up some kind of secret code so in the future i know he is him posting on this account and not rjhinds hacking his account.
Originally posted by RJHinds No, I would not say that. Those books are inspired by Satan.
I am saying that the bible almost just as irrelevant as the Koran and the Bhagvad Gita (hence you might as well have said that and it wouldn't have made little difference).
I know you wouldn't agree with the examples I have given.
In fact, I would consider the Bhagvad Gita as slightly higher regard to the Bible (purely out of cultural bias and upbringing).
Also, saying that any books is inspired by Satan is laughable.
Originally posted by RJHinds It should be obvious to anyone that has studied the Holy Bible that Islam
is an anti-christ religion.
except that it isn't. neither an anti-christ religion nor obvious. you're just sucking up to god, thinking if you trash talk some of his children, your brothers, it would make you look good.
Originally posted by avalanchethecat I doubt anybody is seriously 'railing' against god. I think it's more to do with the nonsense pedalled as truth by various religions and believers.
You should read some of the posts when people who do not believe in God
talk about Him, it is done with emotion that isn't necessary for a meaningless
fake being.

You better do all your laughing now, for after the Judgment Day
your laughing will be over.

I don't say these thinks to make me look good. In fact, it has been said
that I make a lot of Christians look bad just because I claim to be one.

I do read them KellyJay - have been doing so for quite a while - but as I said, it appears to me that most of the hostility is directed more at particular religions' view of the nature of god, the religion itself, or one, some or all of the followers thereof rather than god it, him or herself. I can see how you might see it differently being a believer however. I suppose if you sincerely believe that your particular perception of what god is closely reflects the truth then somebody exhibiting hostility towards that version of god does appear to be hostile towards god.

The emotion has more to do with the foolery of some of His followers.

I thought about just posting, "Stop it RJ. You're doing it again."

you do make other christians look bad by claiming to be one. i just stated that you have a different motive.

No, when name calling and such go on and it is directed at God, I'm pretty
sure it is God who they are talking about not my views of Him.

Perhaps you could dig out an example or two and we'll have a look at them and see?
