christianity rian if more than one sub-division of christianity preaches you are damned if you do not follow, doesn't that mean we all go to hell? 990825 ... jem i tend to wonder if hell and heaven exist, which would be more fun. living with god in heaven where you cant do anything because you're "good" or living in hell with, most likely, everyone else and able to do whatever you want because its hell and it doesnt matter. if i believed in either i would be torn. i was raised catholic and maybe im just being a teenager rebelling against what is supposed to define me, or just simply growing out of my simple childhood lessons (brainwashing) of this and that. i tend to wonder if there is ever an answer to that question, no matter what the age of the individual. rebellion or evolution. 010311 ... mikey like all things theres good and bad. some good religions maybe are true and pure. some arent. catholic religion is fake. it was created to control people. and being the sheep humans are...people stayed with it. sad but true. though as i said to start...it has helped many and given some a consistancy in life. to each his or her own. 010311 ... Mr. Wonderful Like i said in the Catholic blather, there has to be god, which one is it? i have no clue. Either way, i feel that since there is historical evidence in christianity, judaism, and the islamic faith, that one should be true. the bible states many events that actually happened like the ceasers of rome, the censuses, and all the other stuff, it is just where the 3 divide, is jesus, the jews thought he wasn't son of god, christians did, the islamic people thought he was a prophet, and mohammad was the last of these prophets. they all share the same god, and all say they are right. i am not smart or ne thing this is what i have read/heard, and i am sure some is wrong, but i could ramble on for hours about how evolution and the way we think earth was formed can tie in with christianity but no one wants to hear that 010311 ... cheeze hey mr. wonderful... are you high on life. do you smoke a lot. just wondering. 010311 ... kx21 Good to note that Heaven is just one of billions GOD's creation.

Sol I am vehemently opposed to any 'religeon' that states that someone is morally and spiritually superior to you because they went to theological college. Any group that tells you what to believe without allowing any space for personal spiritual experience and growth. Any groups that state another is wrong because of what they believe, unless those beliefs cause pain and suffering. Any groups that believes thamselves to be created in the image of an all powerfull being, any group that creates a divine being that is of one racial type, when accorf#ding to their scriptures 'he' is of another. Any religeous group that attempts to surpress the feeling that everyone feels, and the need to question and think for oneself, and then condemns those who are seen as inhuman, those who judge others as evil and corrupt, for doing as their own forebears have done, one who condemns violence and yet has a religion based upon pain war and suffering. any religeon that prompts its followers to be 'godfearing' while claiming that 'god' is kind and loving. Any religeon that closes off its indiscretions and those of its leaders. Any religion that divides itself, each division calling itself 'the true faith' and attacking the others for being untrue, any religion that stifles life, and claims to worship it 010606 ... The Truth Right on Byrnes!! That's the Truth! Another good point is this: Those "Christians" who are hate-filled and oppressive are also the ones with the biggest mouths. Those are the ones who want to speak out against "you rotten sinners" at public events. They are the ones doing it for their own need for attention, not because they love you. I think people judge the entire "religion" (if you can call it that) based on those ignorant people. The saddest part is, many people take the stance against True Christianity based on their disapproval of those pretending to be Christians. I know so many people who say they are Atheists, and when I try to discuss it with them, and listen to their viewpoints, they know nothing about it!! I always find out that they claim to be "atheists" because they were either forced to go to church while young, or they "don't want to be one of those people who go door to door"...(no joke!), or basically "just don't like" christianity. So we can all let out a sigh of frustration knowing that in every different belief structure, we'll have both intelligent and ignorant people. So we should truly find out what our belief is really all about before committing to it. In this way, we all do our part to diminish ignorance! 010608 ... Dafremen I have no problem with Christianity. I DO take issue with what Christianity (in general) has done to the message of Jesus(which was indeed a good one). Jesus stated MANY times what his purpose was, it was to glorify something greater than himself. It was to serve as an example for others to follow. It was to refocus people's attention on what was REALLY important. Somewhere along the way you folx turned him into a sacrifical lamb. Well figuratively speaking, that may be what happened, but realistically speaking the terms blood ransom and perfect sacrifice never came out of Jesus' mouth. Jesus did not want to be a God. Christianity made him one. 010608 ... The Truth It was His destiny, His inheritance.

To word the Question in a more proper manner:- Who is the Creator of your Excrement? 010714 ... baby satan well, i'd have to say my digestive system. the bowels and all that stuff. peach brandy helps to digest stuff, y'know. that's only the physical excrement, though. i think if you're looking at the concept of excrement as a whole, it touches on deeper things. so there are several creators of my excrement. although my body would be partially responsible, my mind must be equally involved in the process. also, my mind is inevitably affected by the influence of others. given enough thought, it would be difficult to rule out anything as a co-creator of my excrement. maybe everything is the true creator. every person, place, thing and demonic substance. 010714 ...

But the christians arguement is that god is fact and if you don't beleive you are evil and a sinner! They are the ignorant ones err... Why do they need a book to tell them what is right and wrong?!?!?! err and why do they condemn people who don't beleive? what if they never heared of god but still lived a fine life? Before this religion was wide spread or before it existed did everyone go to hell? and we know the evolution is real and creation is false... there are some holes in this plot I see. 030506 ... birdmad God created Hell, god created Satan. assuming they genuinely exist, doesn't the procession of the avatar and domain evil from the embodiment of good represent a huge sticking point? 030506 ... minnesota_chris evil comes from our selfishness, and the fact that we have free will.

AMEN. 030508 ... emo Just wanted to say hey to all you screw balls out there who have let The Wonderful Jesus!!! into your lives Read some J. KIRISHNAMURTI then let me know if you still think the same way about god. Don't you realize religion is a form of mind control? Did you acctually chose to be a Christian or were you baptized before you could barely even walk and sent through your first communion without any say in if you wanted to or not? People who blindly follow a religious dogma are fools. Praise Kirishna, buddha, God , whoever you want, but education is the path to enlightenment and that is the only truth you will find in religion. Fear the darkest depths of Dante's Inferno. Human nature is to fear the unknown. We try to make the unknown known by using our known thoughts. But then the unknown can never be the known. Once you stop trying to find out the unknown, when you realize you will never know it, then you will be at peace. i think that the fear of death for christians is fear in the unknown and fear of hell. If hell does not exist along with heaven then what is there to fear? the unknown is the only thing left to fear. When we choose to stop fighting to find the unknown, when we realize we dont contain the capacites to do so, we will find peace, stillness. Religious dogma is the ultimate in pleasure seeking. To find pleasure eternally. 030508 ... superstrings HOW RELIGION BEGAN ...a couple of cave-men sitting around the fire... OD: What happen when die?
