"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."

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.

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.

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.

(~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). 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.

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.
