http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7722701.stm One of the main reasons why I think all non-secular governments should fall and be replaced. There was also this story showing the horrific treatment of women in Afghan jails. And how corrupt the justice system is. Religion + State = Fail
I've been here nearly 2 years and am still like 150 off >_>
Umm, just because people disprove your points doesn't mean you leave an argument. You take on board what they say and either discard your points or adapt them to fit with what they have said. No-one is trying to force you out of this section. We are just trying to answer the question, but with an opposing ideological position.
Lol, multiple entendre
That would be coco, she has that effect on people <:3
Hey CtR, that's not what I remember you saying about Jared ;P But yeah, so what if he punched a fan? Some fans are a right pain. Artists are people too and don't deserve being harassed all day (and some fans go WAY over the line and deserve everything they get >_>).
People see what they want to see. Just shows how desparate the church is to try to prove themselves right. Expecially considering god is supposedly nothing without faith and if there is definite proof then there is no need for faith (hence destroying god).
In my opinion, higher powers were created by honest, but ignorant, people who just wanted to try and make sense of the world around them. Why things happen, is it possible to make life better, is it all worth it in the end etc. But, the rich and powerful cottoned on the the idea and used it to control the people (i.e. the Catholic Church for most of its history, if not still now). The priesthood were really the only educated people in the community. They used threats and the promise of intangible rewards to keep the people in line. I believe that all religion is man made and has no supernatural base whatsoever (especially considering that supernatural means outside the laws of physics and therefore physically impossible).
THe point is, the Bible is supposed to be an accurate history. Surely the children of the first humans would be a pretty important thing to include?
No .
Which verse/book in the Bible says that they had 3 sisters? I would honestly like to know where it says that, as I never hear anyone say exactly where it is.
Yep, the whole of humanity is based on the immoral act of incest apparantly =] According to the Christian view anyway.
Scundered, craic, dander, bant(er), gutties, poke, slider, etc etc etc We have a lot in Northern Ireland =/ And I couldn't explain them even if I tried xD
Lolololol, classic.
The Roman governor washed his hands of the execution so the only mortals that could be blamed are the Jews. But as I said, it was god's plan all along so he is to blame.
The Jews did not kill him, God sent him to his death. Also, it was technically suicide as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the same thing (polytheism much?). Yeah the holes are a bit too much for it to be believable =/
It is called parents. The parents are always to blame. They either gave them these opinions and view points or didn't beat them out (either literally or metaphorically) when they had the chance. @In_the_Twilight: OMFH, America was not founded by Christianity, never was, never will be. "One nation under god" was never meant to be in the the Pledge and should really be removed. If I hear ONE MORE PERSON start talking about the "Christian Heritage" or "Christian USA" I will actually hate America till the end of time D=
They put it there on purpose, TO MESS WITH YOUR MINDDDD!
I love the fact that the building is white makes people assume it must be owned by a white person. *sigh* People like this are why we have contraception =/ And the reason why enforced euthanasia for the clinically backward should be brought in >_>
They used to go to Purgatory, but then one of the popes waved his magic wand and all the dead babies that had collected there over the centuries were recycled into toilet roll holders for heavens toilets =/ Now they just rot in hell ;D
