Good point. I never met one who could spell worth a lick. It's like they write in a completely different language.

dumb i think it isnt i think the world has room enough for atheist ,satanist ,christians, buddists, taoists,or whatever.

Originally posted by dj2beckerArgh. I have also heard some of the Zen monks claim that what we do is not a religion. The offenders say it isn't a religion because Zen meditation is just about 'perceiving the truth,' the same way that people who have experienced salvation in Christ regard that not as a 'religion' but as THE TRUTH.
For the onlooker "Christianity" is a religion, as defined in the dictionary. But for those that know God, Christianity is more than a religion, it is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
It's a very dangerous kind of thinking. The assumption is, "You have a point of view, but my point of view is THE TRUTH." That idea goes a bit farther than religious zeal.
Everybody is looking at this world through a pair of eyes. Every religion IS a religion. Having faith in one's religion does not require anybody to deny any validity or wisdom in other religions. There is a kind of zealous pride that arises not from God, but from immature human personalities.

Originally posted by RBHILLRB, stick to the Bible, which you know poorly. When you address other matters, you reveal such appalling ignorance and bigotry that I am embarrassed for everyone associated with this site.
Look at Mexicans for example.
Now, just so I have a clear handle on your bigotry, tell me: are you referring to the Mexicans in California, Texas, and points in-between, or are you referring to folks living in Mexico? Which language do they spell poorly?

Originally posted by RBHILLThere's a key difference here: we don't have a group of deaf people telling us that we are lost unless we listen to the SPOKEN WORD. We do have an illiterate telling us that we are lost unless we listen to the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.

Your inability to construct coherent sentences correlates all too well with the errors in reading that undergird your twisted theology.

Originally posted by RBHILLI wasn't talking about the spelling of the word, I was talking about the meaning of the word. Do you even know what the word 'religion' means?
Your stupid if you go by people who can spell, there are more people in thsi word that can't spell then that can.
Look at Mexicans for example.

It is not a religion, go to a Baptist and a Presy Church or pentacostal and ask them, or better yet give Jesus a try and give him your life and then you will see that it is all about a relationship.

If God doesn't exist, then clearly it is a waste of time.
Even if you believe that he does exist, then realise that it is still a waste of time:

I am surprised all the christians jumped on this. I'm not religious but it makes sense to me. I can't really put it any better than he did, so I'll quote him twice.

The dictionary says it... so it must be true 😛

What diseased pathetic meglomaniac is your god who requires constant praise and adulation?
If your God is omnipotent then s/he knows how good she is and doesn't require mortals to tell it how wonderful it is.
If your God isn't omnipotent and doesn't know how good it is, then not much point praying is there?
So if you do not know my God, why then do you leave such CHILDISH remarks. Again, and I am saying this for the 1000's of time, we are all adults here, act like one.
If you do not agree, then say so but by calling my God names... that is pathetic!
