Satan was an angel but until he rebbeled against god. God didn't want to banished him to hell.


The reason theres diversity is because god split them up and changed their language. So people would not communicate with one another.

Its not the same. Cain and Abel did not kill their father. Cain killed Abel. Yes Eve was there mother.

Except you know, modern humans came from Africa and migrated all across the world, and the first civillization started in mesopotamia.

That "god came and seperated them so they won't talk to each other" has to be one of the most racist things i've ever read. What is god, some sort of jim crow era slave owner?

What about the biblical telling of Noah is also just a copy of the antient tale of gilgamesh.

Think of it this way. If you said while you were 3 years old that 1+1 = 3, and then, when you got older, your brother told you "hey, you're 15 already, shouldn't you know that 1+1=2?" and you bulk-headedly said "NO! 1+1=3! IT'S THE WAY I WAS RAISED!"


Well guess what? We invented religion thousands of years ago (christianity only 2000) because we had nothing else. What makes the sun rise? Man didn't have the tools to say how, so they just sad "God does it." Well now we have those tools, and we figured out how everything works.

There's nothing religion explains that science hasn't disproved.

Someone tell me one good thing religion has done. Has it ever stopped a war? (oh on the contrary, it's started like a hundred wars) Has it ever cured a disease? (oh, on the contrary, the catholic church's ban on condoms has led to the aids virus spreading) Has it ever liberated a group of people? (More like oppressed groups like gays, women and people from other races)

Yes, religion is the best thing ever.[/quote]

The reason people start wars is because of people not religion. People think that one religion is better than the other. But in reality All religions are equal. The people who start wars about religion like Hitler, Is an Anti Christ.
Again on the Aids. People Make bad choices. People start having sex with other people, then get AIDS. Its peoples choices if they want to have sex. Again The Catholic Church Likes all People. The Church does not Judge people. God will be the one who judges you By the way you live life (good or bad). Same on women. But some other people take it seriously and start killing poeple for no reason. :huh:


"At the worst when i'll die if he does exists i will tell him i'm sorry for not believing and ask for his forgivness and for what everythings says in all religion... he will simply forgive me and accept me anyway." -SSJKarma

SSJKarma said this in a different thread. so...

"If you Forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your father forgive your transgressions."
Matthew 6:14-15

you didn't provide all the details, but I had the jist of it. It would make sense, but...

We all know now that cultures weren't diversified because god got 7 white people (and another thing, why is everyone in the bible portrayed as white people. That's fliping bullpoop.) spread them across the world, and threw one on each continent.

It sounds silly. I swear, even you probably have your doubts in your head. Want to know what REALLY happened? Go open a history book. There's tens of thousands of recorded history which is reasearched non-stop, and if they find something innaccurate, they re-research it, unlike the bible which was one cram-session of some dudes to make a book in like 10 years.

No, I think you misunderstood me. What I was trying to say was that when the world was young, it invented religion to answer all the questions they couldn't answer themselves, because they didn't have the tools to. Then, once we DO have the tools and we DO have the answers, just like the now-teenager still believing 1+1=3, refuses to believe it.

Let's get out of the primitive way of thinking. We've become smarter for a reason, and it's not to believe antient books as some sort of fact.

But those aren't true because they actually involve some research, fact and expirements.

Nah, I dont have doubts. Besides some may be theory or not. At School (Lynn Middle Shcool) We opend a book about Social Studies and various Events Like Ancient Mesapotamia.

Well, as I said in the other religion thread before SSJ Karma got all bitchy and saiud "OMG U GUYS R TALKING ABOOT RELIGION ! DAT MEENS UR FLAMING ! CLOSED !", Jesus was not white, he was brown, if not black. If you have objections, i'd be happy to provide evidense, but if it's a common idea, then i'll save my breath.

But that also means that maybe the bible didn't mean everyone was white, but if you look at the TV, if you look at the movies or society in general, we think that jesus was white, marry was white, joseph was white, the angels are white and most of all, god himself is a big white man. Do black people think the same? Except for a few renegade idealists, yes! Even in latin america, asia and africa, where the majority of catholics live, they all worship the same white religous figures.

Because jesus was real. I'm one of the only non-believers who says yes, jesus was real, yes, mohammad was real, gilgamesh was real, and most other "profits" were real. If they did all the things they say they did is up to interpretation.

Jesus was real, he did teach people, and he did have followers. If he did walk on water, if he did rise from the dead, if he did feed the people with only a couple of loaves and some fish is all up to you. History stays out of religion, because they don't know it if it was real.

Plus, no one would take history sirously is it said "Yes, and then, jesus rose up from the grave OMG!" or something rediculous like that.

That's true, but the only difference, is let's stack up which tends to be more "real"...

History/Science vs Religion.
1)
- History/Science has been perfected over thousands of years
- Christianity/Religion was done once, and never "tweaked" or "re-written".
2)
- History/Science is by most all people accepted, and by modern society accepted as fact.
- Christianity/Religion not only has other people saying it's not true, but we have people saying "it's not true, OUR religion is true"
3)
- History/Science has research and evidense to back up all they claim
- Christianity/Religion has nothing but heresey/stories.
4)
- History/Science is taught in school because it can help progress the world
- Christianity/Religion is taught in religous schools where they hit you and try to make you believe the same ol same ol.
5)
- History/Science has changed once the world has gotten smarter
- Christianity/Religion has stuck to the same ideas for thousands of years.

Now, i'm not saying what you believe is wrong. But when you think about it, we have to gain some common ideals in the world is we ever hope to someday finnaly end wars, and suffering, povery, ect.

If you think (and i'm not saying you do) "I'm going to heaven, he's going to hell", we begin thinking, "I'm going to heaven, he's going to hell... for a reason. I must be better than him." What does that lead to? Wars, murders, sins sins and more sins but wait! That don't matter, becuase you're going to heaven.

We try to justify our wrong doings by putting on a mask of religion. Can I steal this candy bar? Yeah, if I go to church and say my prayers. Yay, free candy. A non-believer thinkings "Should I steal this candy? Well, will I get caught?" Church-goers tend to think that by being religous, they're going to heaven.

Some people think that they are truly better thna other people because they think they have the right religion.
Tell me, what makes your religion right? What makes it better than judaism? Buddhism? Islam? Hinduism? They all have one thing in common, which is that they're all religions, and maybe except for buddhism, all think they're the right religion, and all the rest are wrong.

When this happens, again, what happens? The world gets torn appart and we all die. I shudder to think that there are some christians in this world who when sit next to a muslim, the first thing that runs threw their mind is "He's going to hell." Ask yourself, are you the right person to say this? Becuase people now days sure think they are. People like Jerry Falwell and others tihnk "Well, he believes in abortion, he's going to hell." Or "He's a muslim, he's going to hell." Or whatever else.

Truley ask yourself, would Jesus like you judging people? (And i'm not saying that to you, i'm just saying it in general.) There are very few christians or religious people in this world who follow a certain religion, and truley follow the ideals of that religion and not the details. Yes, maybe in the bible it said homosexuality is a sin. It also said love thy neighbor and turn the other cheeck. Which one it more important? Some people think it's the one that makes you feel supirior and others infirior.

You have to quit thinking of yourself as a member of your family. Even a member of your church. Hell, even las cruces isn't where you should be. Ask yourself, as a member of this world, what am I doing to keep it together? Are my ideas breaking it appart, or bringing it together?

You mean how chemical reactions at the birth of this world created single celled orgnaisms which lived in the otions, reproduced (more like mitosisised) into multiple celled organisms, set forth on land and just keps evolving over billions of years to not only form millions of different kinds of animals but form human kind?

But I guess in the bible, it's much easier to understand. "God did it. All animals. Even humans. Shut up, quit thinking."

Yes, it's a "theory", but that's only because you can't postulate a theory this radical. It goes against the church and as long as there is a huge amount of people who say otherwise, it won't be played.

The church also said the world was flat and the sun revolved around the earth, and that took thousands of years to finnaly disprove. Maybe the ideas on what and how the earth was formed are faulty?

But I guess "God did it. Shut up, quit thinking" must be some how more easier to understand and thus gets the short end of the stick. (Yes, i'm aware that phrase doesn't even fit here, but it's early in the morning. Shut up, quit thinking.)

Quote:
The reason people start wars is because of people not religion. People think that one religion is better than the other. But in reality All religions are equal. The people who start wars about religion like Hitler, Is an Anti Christ.
Hitler didn't star a war based on religion, that would mean "my religion is better thna your religion" as a major concept. Hitler started a war based on facism. And he didn't like jews. Not because they're jews, and because their religion is wrong but because he said they're evil and unfit or something.

People who actually DID start a war based on religion are people like Pope Urban, who said to a speech to his people before the crusades, "Yes, Muslims are evil and hate christians. Kill them. God is on our side."

Is he an anti-christ? Or is he supposed to be the closest to god?

Again on the Aids. People Make bad choices. People start having sex with other people, then get AIDS. Its peoples choices if they want to have sex.
Since when is sex a bad thing? A huge popularity of americans, and the world (mostly africa) have aids, and i'm pretty sure it's not because they had sex with 1,000 people, but because they had sex with one person, which they probabloy loved, who was the wrong person to have sex with. If you got aids threw hugging, people wouldn't look down on a person with aids as if they were some sort of virus. (oh wait-) If it was hugging, it'd just be "you hugged the wrong person", but if it's sex, then you're some super horney animal.

And, sex isn't the only way to get aids. Doing drugs (I even know a christian guy who is all "high and mightey" and says gays will go to hell and don't deserved to be cured from the aids virus because they're gay, and HE USES HEROIN. Can you say hypocricy?) is also a prime way to get aids. Only if you inject a needle into your arm. Also, getting blood transfusions (when you need blood so someone donates it to you) is a good way to get aids. Even being born from an aids infected mother will give you aids.

Aids doesn't kill bad people, it kills all people. Maybe even you can get aids because you had sex with your girlfriend, or did a night of bad partying, got in a car crash and needed blood, or maybe even your mom has aids.

Quote:
Again The Catholic Church Likes all People. The Church does not Judge people. God will be the one who judges you By the way you live life (good or bad). Same on women. But some other people take it seriously and start killing poeple for no reason. :huh:
The church doesn't judge people? Churchs are the main reason WHY people get judged? Remember Jerry Falwell? He says gays will go to hell ALL THE TIME. He's also a reverend. I'm pretty sure he judges people in his church, too.

If the church doesn't judge people, where are they getting the notion that so and so is evil? I don't think they all simultaniously thought about it themselves. Someone had to put that idea there.

I'm just saying that it's always "The christians vs some other people", and you can't say that the other people arn't getting judged, because they are. Even been to an anti-something ralley on the christian side? What signs to they hold up? "JEsus says your going to hell", "Repent, sinner!" "You're going to hell!"

Does the entire church go? No. Does the church itself somehow come to life and go? No. Do the majority of people who go to church feel this way? You better believe it.

there are at least 14 specificly named witnesses who saw him after he was dead and buried.

- Christianity/Religion was done once, and never "tweaked" or "re-written".
the Bible doesnt need to be rewritten or edited because its perfect....in fact, if you try to take or add to it you are promised plauges and death.


Quote:
- History/Science has research and evidense to back up all they claim
history and science are based on observation....fine! fantastic!

well how come historians and scientists wont accept the Bible as a factual piece of observation, yet they believe Homer's observations of ancient greece.

and another thing: the odessy by Homer talks about like adventures of Ulysses and wars and stuff.....and historians believe it.

but when the book talks about cyclops's and dragons and such, they wont believe that part.....its gay how people pick and choose pieces of what they do and do not want to believe.

Quote:
- Christianity/Religion is taught in religous schools where they hit you and try to make you believe the same ol same ol.
the books of Pslams, Proverbs, and Song of Solomon are very well written books of poetry....I see no reason why they arent in a public school's classic lit class.



Quote:
"I'm going to heaven, he's going to hell... for a reason. I must be better than him."
according to all religions besides the Bible.
all other religions have you get to heaven by "being good" and works....so people who do the works, are "better than you"

but the Bible says you just accept the gift and thats it....no good works, no nothing.......so there is equality.


Quote:
The church also said the world was flat and the sun revolved around the earth, and that took thousands of years to finnaly disprove. Maybe the ideas on what and how the earth was formed are faulty?
the roman catholic church said that, and they killed you if you said otherwise.

there is a verse somewhere (gotta find it) that talks about the roundness of the earth


Quote:

the churches that are judging people are in the wrong, because its not their responsibility.

"But that also means that maybe the bible didn't mean everyone was white,but if you look at the TV, if you look at the movies or society in general, we think that jesus was white, marry was white, joseph was white, the angels are white and most of all, god himself is a big white man. Do black people think the same? Except for a few renegade idealists, yes! Even in latin america, asia and africa, where the majority of catholics live, they all worship the same white religous figures."


(~Miguel~)
I Agree, Im hispanic, I dont like what certain people do, like fights involving different races. Anybody can think anything of god. Everybody is equal like god made them. So why shouldn't black people see god as different? What's really important is religion. Not how god looks.

"Because jesus was real. I'm one of the only non-believers who says yes, jesus was real, yes, mohammad was real, gilgamesh was real, and most other "profits" were real. If they did all the things they say they did is up to interpretation."

Jesus was real, he did teach people, and he did have followers. If he did walk on water, if he did rise from the dead, if he did feed the people with only a couple of loaves and some fish is all up to you. History stays out of religion, because they don't know it if it was real."


(~Miguel~)
If you say that Jesus was real wouldn't his teachings of god be real?? Or any other religion?

"If you think (and i'm not saying you do) "I'm going to heaven, he's going to hell", we begin thinking, "I'm going to heaven, he's going to hell... for a reason. I must be better than him." What does that lead to? Wars, murders, sins sins and more sins but wait! That don't matter, becuase you're going to heaven."


(~Miguel~)
Every religion is Right. No Christian should ever talk to anybody like that. No religion related books state that one religion is better than the other.

Virtual Fighter
We try to justify our wrong doings by putting on a mask of religion. Can I steal this candy bar? Yeah, if I go to church and say my prayers. Yay, free candy. A non-believer thinkings "Should I steal this candy? Well, will I get caught?" Church-goers tend to think that by being religous, they're going to heaven.


(~Miguel~)
Just because you say a prayer after a sin doesn't mean your goin to heaven. We have connfessions. If your truly sorry for your actions god WILL forgive you.

Virtual Fighter
Some people think that they are truly better thna other people because they think they have the right religion.
Tell me, what makes your religion right? What makes it better than judaism? Buddhism? Islam? Hinduism? They all have one thing in common, which is that they're all religions, and maybe except for buddhism, all think they're the right religion, and all the rest are wrong.

When this happens, again, what happens? The world gets torn appart and we all die. I shudder to think that there are some christians in this world who when sit next to a muslim, the first thing that runs threw their mind is "He's going to hell." Ask yourself, are you the right person to say this? Becuase people now days sure think they are. People like Jerry Falwell and others tihnk "Well, he believes in abortion, he's going to hell." Or "He's a muslim, he's going to hell." Or whatever else."


(~Miguel~)
Again: Every religion is Right. No Christian should ever talk to anybody like that. No religion related books state that one religion is better than the other.

Truley ask yourself, would Jesus like you judging people? (And i'm not saying that to you, i'm just saying it in general.) There are very few christians or religious people in this world who follow a certain religion, and truley follow the ideals of that religion and not the details. Yes, maybe in the bible it said homosexuality is a sin. It also said love thy neighbor and turn the other cheeck. Which one it more important? Some people think it's the one that makes you feel supirior and others infirior.


(~Miguel~)
Yeah People tend to do that. The most important?
1.There is only one God Stated in the Bible.I think as myself as great as any person, But others don't. Religion is about love not hate,But people dont tend to see that.

You have to quit thinking of yourself as a member of your family. Even a member of your church. Hell, even las cruces isn't where you should be. Ask yourself, as a member of this world, what am I doing to keep it together? Are my ideas breaking it appart, or bringing it together?

(~Miguel~)
What I can do is Pray to god that everybody in this world will be safe. From Wars, Diseases or any other conflict that occurs.

Hitler didn't star a war based on religion, that would mean "my religion is better thna your religion" as a major concept. Hitler started a war based on facism. And he didn't like jews. Not because they're jews, and because their religion is wrong but because he said they're evil and unfit or something.

People who actually DID start a war based on religion are people like Pope Urban, who said to a speech to his people before the crusades, "Yes, Muslims are evil and hate christians. Kill them. God is on our side."

Is he an anti-christ? Or is he supposed to be the closest to god?


Hitler was an Anti-Christ since he killed Many Jews and was against the religion. The Pope you just mentioned is an
Anti-Christ. Since he Killed lots of Muslims. God Is not in his Side If you Killed Millions of innocent Poeple regardless of religion or no religion.

Since when is sex a bad thing? A huge popularity of americans, and the world (mostly africa) have aids, and i'm pretty sure it's not because they had sex with 1,000 people, but because they had sex with one person, which they probabloy loved, who was the wrong person to have sex with. If you got aids threw hugging, people wouldn't look down on a person with aids as if they were some sort of virus. (oh wait-) If it was hugging, it'd just be "you hugged the wrong person", but if it's sex, then you're some super horney animal.

I Know that. Some people aren't responsible for their actions. They dont see the consequences. I Know some people who got the virus by Cleaning. (My dad works as a janitor). But some retard, who has intestinal bleeding decided to put his blood soaked poop in the garbage instead of disposing it properly.So one of my dad's Friends tried to grab the bag so he can put a ####age and touched the bag. imediatly he got shots and treatment. So the place my dad works. Decided to investigate. See that peson did not think of others. The friend could have got AIDS.

"And, sex isn't the only way to get aids. Doing drugs (I even know a christian guy who is all "high and mightey" and says gays will go to hell and don't deserved to be cured from the aids virus because they're gay, and HE USES HEROIN. Can you say hypocricy?) is also a prime way to get aids. Only if you inject a needle into your arm. Also, getting blood transfusions (when you need blood so someone donates it to you) is a good way to get aids. Even being born from an aids infected mother will give you aids."

Again:I Know some people who got the virus by Cleaning. (My dad works as a janitor).

Aids doesn't kill bad people, it kills all people. Maybe even you can get aids because you had sex with your girlfriend, or did a night of bad partying, got in a car crash and needed blood, or maybe even your mom has aids.

Girlfriend? instead of having sex with some one you barely know or barley had a few dates with you could do something else instead of sex. But some people refuse so what do they get? AIDS or any other disease. If it was your wife then you would have to talk to her if you want a child. In a car crash Could be If you drink too much or not ready to drive that day because your sick or something. Don't Drive because you will probably get into a car crash. Some others crash into someone else who is ready to drive. While the other guy is drunk or on drugs.

The church doesn't judge people? Churchs are the main reason WHY people get judged? Remember Jerry Falwell? He says gays will go to hell ALL THE TIME. He's also a reverend. I'm pretty sure he judges people in his church, too.

He judges because He Doesn't Like homosexuality, My church Doesn't judge people. We Follow the path of god but sure we do sins. were not perfect

I'm just saying that it's always "The christians vs some other people", and you can't say that the other people arn't getting judged, because they are. Even been to an anti-something ralley on the christian side? What signs to they hold up? "JEsus says your going to hell", "Repent, sinner!" "You're going to hell!"

God loves everybody, And jesus loves everybody. If they are truly Christian, they should see what there doing.
