Well... sounds like some cult where they sacrifice babies. But I haven't heard of it up until this point.

Just to see if anyone else has been to it. Out of curiousity.

I still wonder is this, We ignore god on this earth but are buddy buddy with him when we are in chruch or have to be, We try banning him from everything, including fourms on line. No religous talk, blah! Ashamed is what you should be. everyone should be. but anyways i didn't come here to bicker, i came here to tell you if Acquire the fire is in your town, goto it. It can change your life forever, and maybe save it. That last line about being ashamed, no one will take it seriously everyone will be like yeah yeah, we have heard it all before. but still.

Yeah sounds like another recruitment speech. I really really hate people who say God is the answer to, and the reason behind, everything. I'm not saying you should believe or whatnot, I'm just saying that religion these days seems like a market to gather the most devotees.....

My two cents.

Yeah I agree with X, you sound like my local preacher, I guess this is why there's not supposed to be religious talk on the forums, it'll only lead to flames (of redemption!)

and you dont realise why god talk is banned from forums? its because it incites two people, ie. you and i. to bicker over who is right, when actually neither are, its just a personal belief neither of us share. on that note, after reading the bible, i decided it was a load of codswallop, and thus i have no faith. even in church (when i HAVE to go) i dont pay hommage to someones god, because that isnt my belief.

second, why does my life need saving, and how can believing in something that isnt physical help or save it? i find believing in god to be a weakness, as all it does is give you an excuse. if something goes wrong "its gods will" if something goes right "its gods will" its almost as if you can basically meander through life taking whats given and never actually living out life for yourself, since youve given any form of will that you actually have to something that might not even be there*.

that being said, im clicking the report thread button, this baby is gonna get closed.

*note i said might not, not "does not" meaning im not causing an argument, merely expressing a possible theory.

And that's the reasons why we don't have religious threads. People are so one sided, and cast out titles for everyone else. People "should" or "should not" be ashamed of anything. It is their choice, we don't allow it because of the arguments, and flames, people get offended.

My faith, I consider myself a Christian, but I hate the church. Financially corrupt and competing with other churches. It's a spit in their diety's face.


see? Strong opinions get thrown back like that, and can get worse. If I knew where this thread was going earlier, I would've closed it earlier. Good thing I saw this message to know what you were getting at. D:

This is why, Oujiblezlzfilizzles. It's good breeding grounds for flame wars, especially since it's something that most people feel strongly about, yet cannot be proved factually.

EDIT: Magus is faster than Deman. Perhaps I should kill Flashman to get the timestop ability!
