Whats the point of your post???

The point of my post is comedy. It was a funny article. Most people find it amusing. If you don't, I won't apologize. Go write another funny article making fun of nonbelievers or something.

I find it somewhat amusing that people who proclaim to be anti-God, anti-bible, etc certainly do know alot about the scriptures and seem to be able to quote it just as well as any christian.

You're the second person to say that to me and my answer is still the same: knowing a lot about the Bible is WHY I'm not a believer.

And why do you care how well I can quote scripture?

If those people criticizing science were to learn as much about it as many Atheists know about the bible, I don't think they would be criticizing so much.

Education is the key.

When we had education for citizenship, it was well known that the only way to protect our liberty was be highly moral. This understanding did not depend on religion. It depended on education for citizenship. We are fucked today, to use your termonology, because we replaced the education we had with education for technology for military and industrial purpose and left moral training to the church. Christians who claim God as their own and even say their own kind are not Christian because of a different perspective on Christianity, and insist only Christians are moral people or can know morals, have greatly contributed to the problem that is destroying the democracy of the US. Furthermore, I have not a Christian capable of reasoning the Christian faith or explaining fundamental things like what is sin and how did eating a forbidden fruit make the sacrifice of Jesus necessary. But I shouldn't blame them as the problem is their education which did not prepared them for the independent thinking and moral judgement essential to democracy.

Alright... I agree with you, but I don't see how that was related to my post?

Maybe the confusion came from my phrasology: when I said the teenagers who 'fuck the establishment (dude)' I meant the teenagers who SAY 'fuck the establishment (dude)' -- I think you thought I said that the teenagers, by virtue of their lack of religious education, actually 'fuck up' the establishment -- sorry for confusion, that's not what I meant at all.

Jesus was a rebel from whom Christianity stemmed. It is therefore inherent in Chrisitianity to approach the establishment with a pinch of salt, including those aspects of Christianity that turned oppressive in time. True Christians will have to put freedom before dogma, at all cost. The man not bothering the next man is acceptable, and the man helping the next man is commendable. The rest is oppression.

Does the bible tell you how to rid one of the bag of stones you threw over your shoulder.

Are you lonely? Just praying for the din in my ear to stop.

Getting old? When in the morning it no longer looks you in the face , yea I guess you are getting old.

Think you'll never find the right woman to cook your dinner and bare your children? I should have bought a pair of gum boots and a herd of goats. I would have had my meat and eat it also.

Well, the Bible has all the answers, my friend! One can only hope for a quick end of the misery of man where one believes in the after wife or not.

The point of my post was comedy also.
If I do believe in god the thought of an afterwife is chilling, where the fullfillment be. Heaven is suppose to be a place where the Lamb lies with the Lion. Since the Lion has got to eat this is bull shit. Peace, gee an afterwife would sure ruin this. Can you just see someone checking out that Angel. Woa, pain and misery like we were earth bound again.

Serious. Where you believe or not. I think (if) there is a afterlife you can not commit murder, go to a minister and ask for your sins to be taken away and you will go to heaven.
On the flip side of the coin suppose a person commits murder when he is 20 years old and never gets caught or asks for forgiveness of this sin. Suppose this person spent the rest of his live helping those who need a hand and ever so often he would be reminded of that night some 40 years ago and start to sob when he thinks of the young life he had took. To me this man has repented and would go to heaven. Most people of the church would say na. One thing to think about is if you are "good person" and believe you may go to heaven but if you do not believe and are a "good person" you will never get to heaven. I see this as a reason to believe since this cost me nothing and could award me with much. The book "the 12th planet" does make sense in some respects but in this I find a lot far out there.

#1 Find an attractive prisoner of war, bring her home, shave her head, trim her nails, and give her new clothes. Then she's yours. If you slew her family you best hide the knifes or be the best damn stud she ever had.
2. Find a prostitute and marry her. Nothing like an expirenced wife to rub you with hot oils and bring out the basket and beads. I can't spell it but it is sumatrian love making.
Best bet find a deaf, dumb woman who has a liquor store. Wouldn't hurt if she was a bit hard of hearing. And if she is ugly you can get an American flag to cover her face and do it for ole glory.

Son of Belial · Nov 22, 2005, 09:10 am

If it's a wife for me she needs to be blind too.
