theres this thing called being homosexual, its pretty accepted in our socioty now
oh yeah i hate how catholics say the bible accepts all but you go to hell if you dont accept jesus christ as your savior? bullsheet

That's the idea behind the religion, don't like it don't bother with it, idiot.

ok ok, i am a christian, i do believe in the bible but i just thought... if god says alcoholism is a sin, why does jesus turn water into wine? i know im being hypocrytical but i really dont get that one haha. and im holding back arguements now to prevent ruining this thread

Alcoholism is a sin because it's a form of idol worship. It indicates that the alcohol is more important to Jesus in your life which according to Christianity is a sin.

He turned water into wine to indicate himself as the son of God, I mean what person can do that in a split second? Yeah.

Sorry for the off topic posts but I hate ignorance like this when people try to argue against religion. Get your facts straight children, try to learn something.

And I like Zane's Buddha quote.

And I also agree with The Milkman about the heirarchies. Religion is the ultimate form of power for man, something that's apparent from today's society, let alone the past what, 4000 years of human existance?

Sex is a natural and healthy humanly function yet it's frowned upon when kids and people make to the choice to have sex.
Same thing with masturbation.

They frown more at the "irresposibility", because of the whole "what if" thing with pregnancy. But on that note, you always hear about parents giving their kids the sex talk, but yet they had their first kid when they were 16/ 17.

I understand the whole do as I say, not as I do, but it still frustrates me.

It's certainly possible. Do we not coexist with other species?


Wine was a lot different in the past. But still, even then just because you drink wine, that doesn't automatically make you a drunk.


The forgiveness is for those who accept it.


Who ever told you if you don't go to church you are damned was definitely incorrect. "No one comes to the Father except through me." -Jesus. He didn't say through church.

I don't have the answers for everything, I mean no one really does, these are just my thoughts.

Human corruption has ruined religion and has twisted the words of so many profound texts into absolute garbage. The crusades and killing and sins, it's all our fault as humans. This conflict isn't really even necessary, though. There's sooo much religion bashing now on these forums.
By far the most retarded thing I have ever read.

People just need to respect religion and accept it for what it is, perhaps the violence could be toned down (islam/middle east), but hating on it brings nothing good (or anything what so ever)

Aye Cap'n, the violence of a medival religion that hasn't grown into the 21st century except for with the use of their weapons is gonna tone down the violence...

Okay, God works like this:
I have a 450ft tall, purple, fire breathing dragon standing next to me. But its invisible and you cant touch it or sense it. And it cant touch you either.

How are you going to prove me wrong if you cant prove it isnt there? :)

The point is no matter how hard we try, even though we know theyre wrong, we can't prove ourselves to be right either.

I can stand a lot about people, but double standards are one thing that just make me rage...

I for example hate blocoli, past 20 years have been like that, nothing changed, nothing will change... when I'm having dinner with my mom, and there's brocoli she's always like "Ah, you won't even try that..." "You don't even know if you like it..."

And when I'm eating some self made burritos, she's like... ewww, that's ugly... funny thing is, I tried brocoli and I didn't like it, she never tried my self made burrito and yet she has the nerve to criticize it... I rage so hard when she does that...

When a guy bangs a lot of girls, hes the man; but if a girl bangs a lot of guys, theyre just a slut.

Oh, that's not double standards, that's simple logic...
Imagine you had a key that opened every lock in town... you would call it master key, such a key is just... THE KEY!!
Now imagine you had a lock on your door, poor and shitty, and it could be opened by every key in town... yep, it's a shitty lock and you probably wouldn't put it on your door...
