How many religions?
It is more than amusing and comical to see all the self rituious folks proclame their faiths and denounce all others.
Lets see: I think at last count there were about 500 different religions. But each of you think only YOU have the right religion. What arrogance!!
My religion: There is a god, how else did we get here? When you die, you die, period.
Punishment, If you don't get your just rewards here, you don't get any. In other words, hang the basterd now, god ain't going to do it later.
Religious ferver; If you reallly, really, belive in your cause, do like the Taliban, strap a bomb on your ass and go blow up any and all who do not believe like you do. Brother, that is dedication.
Religion has caused more death and destruction than the plague and probably all wars ever fought. So much for a peaceful god. Tom

Cox, I think you "hit the nail right on the head". I can't tell you how many times I've been told that if I wasn't a member of this or that religion I was going to hell. Personally, I have no problem with the idea that there is god if one wants to subscribe to a particular version of doctrine as long as they keep it personal. I do have a problem when they try to convince me, through spoken or wirtten word, that their brand is best or tell me what to think. It seems like the muslims are a little pushier than most.[:D]
I ask this; Am I bashing them when I disagree with they who have preached to me? If they who feel this way do not want disagreement, keep your beliefs between your god and yourself.0 -

I agree with you wholehardedly. I just don't understand why some on this forum think is is their god given duty to convert people to their form of religion. It is sort of like convinceing me to vote for hillary of ubamma mohammed. It just ain't going to happen.
Let's have a prayer fest. One of you believers cut off your finger. Then all others will pray for your finger. I personally will pray that your finger will lay there and rot. I just may start a new religion ablout the rotting finger.
Hey, I may just proclaim myself to be the high priest of the rotting finger.
Seriously, I do thing religion to be a personal thing and it is too bad that not that many people want to keep their religion personal.
It just gripes my ass to hear people running around proclaiming >I am a christian. Big deal! Does your god believe you are a christian? If so, you sure as heck don't need to tell me about it. Tom0 -

please remember that "religion" is different from a" religious person". people are falable. religious people dont always best represent a certain religion.

I guess we all have our own opinions...and some of them are sure to rub others the wrong way...but why let it bother you. I generally TRY to just move on to another thread...although I do get roped in from time to time...especially when it comes to the Constitution. I was caught hook, line, and sinker a couple times in the last couple weeks.[^] 0 -
I'm not going to rise to the bait. Just know that "believing in God" is not enough. If you have not been on a quest to find out who He is and what He expects of us, then you missed the whole point of life. There will be a test later.
For the record, my little church likes to meet with other churches. And we don't blow up people who don't think like us.0 -
I always thought "Give It To Me, Baby" was a better song than "Super Freak". Just my opinion, though. Saw Rick James on a reality show once, The Surreal Life, with ex-celebs like Erik Estrada and Vanilla Ice. Sounds to me like Rick led a life full of drugs and parties. 0 -
Ha! That's just some androgynous, weed-soaked poopier from L.A. who's wearing more makeup than Tammy Faye Baker! For your information, the cutest guy in the world lives in Wyoming, and you have never heard of him. He's a good kid, too.
Anyway, all you really need to do is liquidate all of your possessions and send the monies realized to your government. All of it.
That is true heroism, kid, and nothing less can be fully worthy of an humanitarian of your stature. Put your principles into action, and demonstrate your faith in the state Collective that you so fervently support. Put your fate fully into the care of your government.
Lip service is a fine thing, dude, and you can tell Mick Jagger I said so, but at some point you need to put your convictions into practice. The time is NOW. Dime-A -Dozens & Plastic Bananas vs The Real Stuff. Scotty Toff In Clear Spandex & Chromium Spike Heels.[}:)]
Resistance is futile, boy. You are my precious little polecat, and I am your Pepe le Pew. It's NATURAL! It's NATURAL!! Pack your wigs and faces and fly to me, my precious. This thing is bigger than both of us! We'll sip steaming Celestial Seasons as we cuddle in the breakfast nook, absorbing The Guardian news in our own little komradely love nest!

Strum, Tammy faye Bakkerr was the queen of my nights!!! I'm sure she went to heaven on the midnight special. She was just so sincere and all that.
Now there is another pracher, Tilton, out of Dallas (I think). To be saved all you have to do is touch the TV while he is preaching and you will go to heaven. BUT, first, you must send him 2000$ Yes two thousand dollars SEED MONEY. I love preachers like that. Show me the money!!
Jimmy Swaggert, Orel Roberts (god is going to call me home if you don't send me 15 m,illion dollars) and now his son who got kicked out of ORU. OH all the good christian men. Well, at least THEY said they were good christian men.(Binny Hinn, he a good un too) I have personally seen him (on TV) turn demons into little pigs ans send them squealing off the stage. Boy is he good!
I propose we set up another forum, the religious, god squad, jeezus freeks or whatever the mods want to call it and all such topics can be posted there. That way we can avoid all this god stuff on the general discussion board. All request for prayers, devine intervention, etc can be posted there and people l.ike me won't get their panties in an uproar. Well, in my case, shorts. Tom0 -

Have you considered this analogy? Not all gun owners are the best "poster children" for 2nd amendment rights, agreed? Following your very limp and vapid line of "reasoning," the freak who slaughtered folks at Va. Tech is equal in moral RIGHTEOUSNESS to Charlton Heston. Since he did bad things with guns, we should rid the human race of the scourge of firearms. OR you can use just a tiny brain (maybe too much to ask of you) and figure that people are responsible for their OWN actions--whether with firearms or with the concept of deity. If you're not smart enough to distinguish the difference in idiots and rational people, then you're likely in the camp of the former, rather than the latter.
And here's another wrinkle...how do you, in your obviously limited state, pretend to judge the merits of others that you obviously DON'T understand? From your own tiresome and tedious "anti-religious" rants, it is quite apparent that you have little or no concept of philosopy, let alone theology. So what qualifies you to assess concepts or actions so totally foreign to you? Maybe you'd best stick to local tiddly-wink matches or old women gossiping at the beauty parlor.
Or you could skip the links that smack of "religion." But then, what would you have to contribute to the forum? [V][:(][:p]0 -

Interesting observation and I wonder how you arrived at it? Personally, I'm not worried that god loves me or if I've pissed him off. I don't model my life to curry favor with him and hope, oh hope, that he watches over me. I don't pray to a superstition or even believe in a "Heavenly Father". How does not needing a Teddy Bear make one insecure?
On the other hand, it gripes my ass also that people talk about religion like it's something real. Like the other superstitious people's action that affect others, a driver that won't go because a black cat is in front of his car. Or some guest that won't eat pork when that's all you're cooking. The backward and foolish way of thinking is what gripes my ass.0 -
I get real tired of the Jehovah Witnesses coming by my house on the weekends selling their religion door to door like vacuum cleaners. 0
