GOM topic in the open forum Vol 89: Religious folks need to study their beliefs more.

[Rasan]

It's all good breh but I'm still not understanding why you keep saying Christian over and over. Replace it with religion/religious and you'd be more on point.

Why do religious people go out of there way to let people know they are religious could be asked too then though, right?

you right my apologies, just this thread was based on christians so thats why i chimed in.
to answer your question, it states in the bible that we should witness to people hence for example jehovahs witnesses lol also there are some fanatics out there, A LOT with cult like behaviors. i ran into those a lot at community college years back.

I've been reading Rasan post on the Sicc since (looks at join date) and I don't remember anything remotely close that would make him come off as racist towards certain skin color.

S @Staci what have you started breh? lol

 

[Nuttkase]

Yeah the survey/article did lean towards Christianity you are right but I'm sure the point it was getting at could be said about all religions. I'm also pretty sure this same topic has been brought up on here quite a few times, I just wanted to stir some stuff up because this place has been boring lately.

No clue what Gordon there is going off about though.

[Gr4mx619]

You're a bigger moron than I thought....you and every other black person whose a Christian.

wow.

 

[SouthernComfort]

If you scared go to chruch.

I believe what I want to believe. I believe there is something beyond death, but I'm just not sure what it is. Nobody does, and nobody will till it's their time. I choose not to be part of a group that believes you have to live life by a book to enjoy the afterlife.

 

[radiostationrep]

You can't rationalize society's advancements, imo, unless you believe in one of two things, God or aliens. Religion and technology are forms of control. Control the mind and you can control the body and soul, period. I am reading a book right now called "The Case for Christ" because I have some questions I need answered. Some freakish things have happened to my family over the years that point towards life after death.

In John 20:31- These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Life here on earth or is he taling about the after life? In the past I have sided with Atheists but could the Bible be a report of what occurred at that time much like newspapers and bibliographies are today? Or is just a mythical story? If I had to pick one religion it would be Christianity.

All this didn't come from nowwhere and someone is responsible, the question is who?

 

[Nuttkase]

I'm responsible, now give me your money.

I went to church for the first time in my life about 2 months ago. That is one of my issues, however, money is needed to adequetly survive in most society settings, why would the church be exempt?

 

[SeriouslyThug]

i might be wrong, but it always appeared to me that atheists were brought up in a theist household which left a bitter taste in their mouths, understandably so.

true, but in a church community, their finances should be transparent to the core.
The people see the church needs to pay property taxes, they see the amount, they see how much more is needed, they give what they can.

im not a fan of the "money is the path to God" dogma, especially not when the preacher is driving a cadillac or lives off of the donations anymore than is necessary for his life, and even that amount should be transparent.
If he has actually dedicated his life for the afterlife, then what else could he need from this world? A 2012 Lexus?

actions speak much louder than words ever could

 

[niguardian]

would it be a sin to request the viewing of tiddies in this thread? i mean God made them, they are wonderful, and all i want to see is Gods most wonderful creation.

god made tiddies and tiddies aint shiddie

 

[niguardian]

but on the serious side, religion can be debunked by a few simple questions we all asked our parents when we were about 12 lol im not gonna hate on people for it tho because it makes them happy and what not



but you can watch the beginning of zetgest and tell how easily debunked religion is

[InfamousICON]

perhaps but why are you generalizing? not EVERY christian is like that
heck i am christian, am i like that?

breh you say don't generalize Christians but then you turn around and generalize atheists throughout your posts

It just seems like you go out of your way to make sure everybody knows you are an atheist, like you have something to prove.

to answer your question, it states in the bible that we should witness to people

so Christians can "witness" to people cause their book says to, but Atheists get complained about?





*disclaimer* not really trying to stir up shit, just curious why Christians and other religions can be loud and proud of who they are but Atheists can't. My take on religion in general is be whatever the fuck religion you want to be as long as you feel it makes you a better person, just don't push your beliefs on me. Unfortunately most religious people end up rubbing me the wrong way due to the fact they will start arguments, debates, tell me i'm going to hell etc. when all I say to them is "this discussion won't change me, leave me alone and do you" yet they'll still push. Also notice I said MOST and not ALL so i'm not generalizing.

Have you gone to a Church and asked to see their financial break down? I agree with you but if you haven't done this, how do you know they won't produce the requested information?

im not a fan of the "money is the path to God" dogma, especially not when the preacher is driving a cadillac or lives off of the donations anymore than is necessary for his life, and even that amount should be transparent.

I am not either, that was one of my questions as well. Without asking these questions ourselves though, we can't assume.

I believe in actions as well and have had a problem with religion because of the hypocrisy surrounding it for the most part. But what isn't surrounded by hypocrisy in society at this point? Isn't that why Jesus died, for our sins?

I would like to thank nut case for posting this thread.

attention siccness members

"God" is conciousness. That thing that MAKES you know you exist

the "God" of religion (whether that religion be christian muslim jewish buddhist or whatever) are advanced lifeforms originating from planets other than our own, who visited earth with their advanced technology, and created a hybrid race with the evolved apes they found here and their own dna.

TWO THINGS existed when the universe began/ big bang happened (or however you vbelieve this whole thing started)

these two things are:

1) MATTER - EVERYTHING THE PHYSICAL REALITY IS MADE OF
2) CONCIOUSNESS - THE AWARENESS THAT EXPERIENCES PHYSICAL REALITY

muthafuckers i just gave you the motherfuckin answer to life and you still listenin to rap music come on man think about this shit

look out for everybody around you and the world will be a a better place

i believe: IF EVERYBODY SWEPT THE BIT OF ROAD OUTSIDE THEIR OWN HOUSE, THEN THE WHOLE STREET WOULD BE CLEAN

listen to my philosophy because siccness.net/vb can change the world
