Go somewhere else and talk about that, because that's not right. There are very good people that are Christian, just as there are very good people that are black.
Very, very uncool dude.
uncool indeed because its true. its a very sad truth. i went to a dozen christian churches over the course of 7 years and met THOUSANDS of people and the majority were judgemental ass holes who had there priorities and morals backwards. they would say one thing and do the opposite and cause massive amounts of uneeded drama. sure there was some great people i met but unforunately A LOT more bad ones than good
and the thing about black ppl is one of those things most people dont say out loud or in public but most ppl agree with, ive met tons of them and the regular cool black people even hate most other black people. because its "cool" to be an ignorant 'gangsta' and thats what black teens are taught and showed through the media and tv. if your not gangster your not "black". ive heard this so much, i currently work with 90% black people and i have these same conversations with them and they are the ones who bring it up. they say "ya i used to be like that, i thought i had to act like that to be "black" and if i didnt then my "brothers" wouldnt accept me". this is even more true for black teens in lower income area's.
again its very sad. but unfortunately true.

rofl thanks for the edit on my post.
but in all seriousness you cant look at religion or god with logic or reasoning because there is always parts of it you cant. so this whole debate is obviously pointless from page 1 because i havent seen anyone convince anyoen else of their opinions. lawl, have you? in the 47 pages of this thread

in the bible it says if you take away or add to the bible you are condemned. so basically so if your picking and choosing what to believe/not to believe or what books to be in then your automatically f*cked.

video games arent a sin in any religion besides being amish which all technology is "bad" and if you do nothing but video games your comitting "sloth" which is one of the seven deadly sins. but yea video games themselvse arent a sin.
Which would make more sense? A sin of playing video games where you kill, rape, steal, etc, in a virtual world, or a sin of wearing polyester?
And which one is actually in the holy books?
Anyway, I had a talk with a priest the other day. I feel proud, I got him to doubt his beliefs! YAY ME!~ =D
bravo. ive tried that a few times, not with a priest just with holy roller weirdos. but they always end with "fuck you and die!" because you know, thats what jesus would do.

coincidentally if you saw the last season of dexter they hint that the next killer is going to be the video game nerd guy...... >=D muahahah
No... i didn't see the most recent season yet... I'm on the last episode of the 2nd to last season.
Anyways - the point of my post was that video games are not necessarily a sin, and even if they were... they would really only be for those people that are adamant, staunch, conservative Christians.
I consider myself a Christian... others wouldn't. I have very liberal beliefs on God... but I am very certain there is one. However.. my definition of god is something more than the white bearded king.
damn your behind man! like the 4th or 5th season was the best one and its still good! best show on tv ive ever seen.

Premarital sex is DEFINATELY bad in all sects of Christianity, yet its practiced by staunch beliefers. Playing a video game is NOT the same as comitting a sin. The closest comparison you could come up with is comparing it to looking at pornography, but even that is not comparible. Pornography is normally for the goal of lusting over 2 other people engaging in sexual relations... and normally you wish you were one of those 2 (or several :-D) people doing the witnessed acts. Playing a video game does not wish you were doing that act in real life... or mean you believe in the religions of these games.
As for bringing up aethiests playing diablo ... Diablo originally had Christian over tones yes.... but that was shredded and replaced with a made up mythology / lore to appease to non Christian players. Several different religions believe in demons by the way... Think about the Djinns and Ifritis....
not trolling or anything. i honestly, truly and deeply wish i could kill hookers IRL like GTA.
I think you are gonna end up being a sociology / criminology case study in a few years. You'll end up being the next plot of criminal minds or dexter hahaha

"An atheist has to know alot more than I know. An atheist is someone who knows there is no god. By some definitions athesim is very stupid." - Carl Sagan
I figured since you guys (Proleteria and LinkX) get such rampant hard ons over Carl Sagan ... that I should just toss this one at ya.
Indeed. To claim such knowledge is laughable.
just replace that with "think" and its fine. knowing is an absolute. and absolutes lead to the dark side.....

on the topic of reincarnation, i like the idea of quantum immortality. that brings more comfort to me than heaven for some odd reason.
Because the thought of floating around clouds without any tangible things and somehow mindlessly happy seems not so great. Keep coming back forever is much more fun

That wasn't what you asked for though. You asked me what I "believed," about the origin of the universe. I don't believe anything about it. I have some certain bits of knowledge about various parts of what (current science) has assumed to be the original epoch of our universe, but even of that small part I (as is the rest of humanity) am currently still filling in blanks as theory and data form more knowledge.
I don't and do not have to believe in Quantum theory or BB Theory. They're plausible and rational explanations of observable phenomena that are backed up by empirical evidence. Assuming more empirical data were gathered that overturned both theories, I wouldn't place any stock in them. If I held beliefs in either theory, it would require me to consider them valid regardless of the data. That is completely irrational and counter to my nature.
i need to read the dictionary more when i talk to you because you take everything in its 100% literal definition. which i guess is how speach should be taken and its hard to not when its just words on a page and not in person. i just wanted your opinion on what you thought about it, not actually 100% believed to be true.
Words are symbols to represent ideas. To use them incorrectly leads people to think they "know" things. It leads to a lack of understanding and misrepresentation of the true meaning of these things. This is a bigger issue than most are aware of.
uncool indeed because its true. its a very sad truth. i went to a dozen christian churches over the course of 7 years and met THOUSANDS of people and the majority were judgemental ass holes who had there priorities and morals backwards. they would say one thing and do the opposite and cause massive amounts of uneeded drama. sure there was some great people i met but unforunately A LOT more bad ones than good
and the thing about black ppl is one of those things most people dont say out loud or in public but most ppl agree with, ive met tons of them and the regular cool black people even hate most other black people. because its "cool" to be an ignorant 'gangsta' and thats what black teens are taught and showed through the media and tv. if your not gangster your not "black". ive heard this so much, i currently work with 90% black people and i have these same conversations with them and they are the ones who bring it up. they say "ya i used to be like that, i thought i had to act like that to be "black" and if i didnt then my "brothers" wouldnt accept me". this is even more true for black teens in lower income area's.

93% that ive met are fucked up, its just easier to hate them as a whole.
why do stereotypes exist? because they are TRUTHHHHHH.......................... most of the time
omfg.................BLACK CHRISTIANS!??! apocolypse meow
/sarcasm
lmao @ looking at god & the bible objectively
uhhh.............
proof the bible is trolling
they cant prove his existance at all.
its more like "no one can prove god exists anymore than they can disprove he exists"
