Dammit, man! You just made me wake up a third of the dorm laughing!

Yeesh... and you... you... with the "that's different because they're not Christian" bit... and the MAJORITY! BWAHAHA!

Right, we need to make sure that post is set down in the forum history for all time. We can never let this thread completely die now. That was just too great.

**** ignoring him, that's the best show I've seen in weeks. He's like a politically incorrect parody of a faithful Christian, sorta a backwards version of all those great 30s cartoons Disney tries to pretend never happened. You can almost see him waving around a little cartoon bible and screaming "Praise the Lawd... hellfire an' damnation, praise the Lawd!" while running aroundlooking for dem witches been doin' that devil-work book-readin'.

i literally laughed out loud, very loudly, scaring the crap out of my girlfriend

Insults fly!

No longer forcing your religion on others? Ban on Homosexual Marriages, Abstinance Only (Ignorance Only) Sex Education, Creation "Science".... yeah you don't force your religion on others


[sarcasm]and nobody in the high up brass of the military claims that god is directing them to attack the mulsims either[/sarcasm]

Most Islamic fundamentalists believe that if you do not worship Allah and maintain a very pious life that you deserve nothing more than death.

That's not much different thatn christians and their "you're going to hell!" constantly - you do atleast have the fact taht you generally restrain from killing right now

Socially you want to return us to the way westerners lived before the third century CE with your ban on homosexual marriages, being taht there were sancitified homosexual marriages in the church in the third century CE

oh I'll float god damn you,
and I almost want to make that buddy christ t-shirt into an avatar, but am too lazy

[Liberator]

How many Christians have held a gun to your head screaming "REPENT FOUL SINNER"?  Fundamentalist Islamists do.

I say it again since you're dense, Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ to intercede in your behalf the final judgement is a personal decision. I can't force you to, but I can make sure you don't forget it.

In the end, the Homosexual Marriage thing isn't about whether they are married or not.  Since they can't get public approval for their lifestyle, regardless of how many lawsuits they file, they'll settle for the Government sanctioning it instead.

[Bobboau]

no Islamists have held a gun to my head (personaly)

there was a guy who bombed a whole bunch of abortion clinics, Eric Rudolph

all they want is the right to the same thing you have

[Janos]

Hey, this thread is just getting better. But soon we're going to need "Christian science-based evidence that Creationism is OK, evolution theory is BAD", so that we can have fun.

[Rictor]

No one has ever heald a gun to my head, Christian, Muslim or otherwise. And I doubt anyone ever will. I think that goes for most people here.

And Liberator, you said that you can't force people to believe, but I don't understand why you have a problem with gay marriage then. I mean, do you not believe that if you believe in God, you will be saved, otherwise you're damned? So if they do something which you think damns them, why is it your problem. Its their choice, and they alone suffer the consequences.  

Evangelism is trying to force people to Christianity. No one will ever make you believe at the end of a gun. When they take the gun away, you'll still believe whatever you want to. Its the same thing with trying to keep people from doing "anti Christian" things, like gays marrying. You can force them not to, by making it illegal, but they will still believe what they want to and be what they want to. Why is their morailty any business of yours.

And unlike previous posts, I'de like you to actually answer me this time. I know the likes of Kazan are a much easier target; you shout something, then he shouts something back and so forth, but perhaps you could try to answer my questions and have an actual debate.

[Liberator]

I'm not going to defend the actions of mentally-unbalanced people when they claim to be a representative of my religion.  If Mr. Rudolph was really a Christian he would not have done what he did.  I do agree with the motivation behind the acts though, Abortion is murder of the unborn.  If I were to attack and kill someone unable to defend themselves I would be a monster, the infant in a womb is not able to defend itself, so what does that make the "physicians" who perform abortions or the people who support them?


I don't not believe that beings can adapt and that between adaptation and beneficial mutation that a species can change, but like Kaz with, oh, just about anything I say, I just need proof.

To prove evoloution to me you need to show me the skeleton of the missing link or links between me a chimp or a gorilla.  Even if we killed them all off, there is still going to be a skeleton.

@Rictor
Evangelism is making people aware that they have the choice and that eventually they must make it.

[Bobboau]

we have them, the thing is in order to give all the missing links is you would have to find all the members of the liniage throughout time, wich is imposable.
I made a better post on this in the other thread, I'll be right back

if we find a 'midlle species' you'll just want one that came between it and the next one, i.e. if we have species A and species E, if we find a link between them, species C, you would say that proves nothing, find something that goes between species C and E, we later find species D the link between species C and E, there would still be a gap between D and E, unless we found every member of every generation of the liniage.

this sort of reasoning displays a fundimentaly flawed understanding of evolution, namely the whole 'stages' analogy, evolution generaly does not happen in stages, but rather it is a bit easier for us to understand it if we take crossections every few million years and describe the state of a species(s) as a stage, in reality every generation is the next stage in evolution, there are no jumps larger than that.

Couldn't someone, theoretically, use that same argument for God, where's the proof he exists? And I don't just mean "he created you and the universe" kinda proof that most christians give cause that's not proof to me, not by a long shot.

Come on America, join Evangelical Buddhism!

That's right, Buddhism is a choice! Eventually you must make the choice to either strive for a state of nirvanna or not!

For three easy free will offerings of 9.99, you too can take the first step towards nirvanna! Ascribe to either the fundamentalist teachings of Buddha, or to contemporary worship otherwiese known as the Buddhist religion!

Checks and credit cards accepted.

Just so you know, my beliefs are relatively mainstream, when compared to your's or Kazan's. Your's just seem to be more widespread because your kind have infiltrated both the mass media(television and print) and most of the institutions of higher learning, the latter because the loser professors can't get a job in the Real World.

That's right! Evangelical Buddhism is the mainstream belief in America! Don't let the liberal media or colleges tell you it's Christianity, or even Islam! Jesus and even Mohammad are only trying to prevent you from attaining nirvanna!

And you somehow assume that all muslins are... terrorists?
THAT is comedy!!

Next time you try to kill a fly or desinfect something think about this...

To prove evoloution to me you need to show me the skeleton of the missing link or links between me a chimp or a gorilla. Even if we killed them all off, there is still going to be a skeleton.

Last and only time I say this... we didn't evolve from gorillas or chimps, go see a species chart (or whatever it's called in english).

But we're apes.
