read the sermon on the mount, find a nice mountaintop to meditate on and mull it over for a few hours. Wink

That is not telling me what it means to be an xtian - thats trying to evangelise - without admitting you are an xtian!

If people with to be Christian (which I am) then what harm is it to anyone?

Christians believe in some things, if others don't then fine.

But why the need to bash Christianity and show all this fury towards people for believing in something?

My point was about him trying to "convert me".

SOB

He's not trying to convert you, idiot. He's giving you an understanding of what it might mean to be Christian - an answer you asked for.

Didnt you read his post?

SOB

Miss Borg, I also read the post but unlike you I understood it.

i imagine for a lot of them , it means finding peace and happiness through surrendering their own small ego's to a greater power. very similar to the concept of AA.

if constantly bickering with people on the internet is not leading you to a feeling of peace and happiness, it might be worth a shot.

i would imagine christianity is about having a one on one relationship with christ, not a one on one relationship with some power freak bishop of the inquisition Wink

for bobby et al to be constantly going on about witches and devil worship, whilst at the same time insisting that the bible is the WORD.
well i cant even find the word witch in the bible (not that ive looked).

i agree totally with gold medal re using the internet as a research tool.
you would fail a grade 7 assignment for using even a very good source like wikipedia.

you google witch + devil + evil christian and you'll get as much lunacy as you can handle. a rhesus monkey could publish those results.

read the sermon on the mount, find a nice mountaintop to meditate on and mull it over for a few hours. Wink

Quote:

Exodus 22:18

King James Version (KJV)

thx bobby, there you go.

i never knew that .

cheers,

Yes - it's full of witches & demons.

Stupid old book full of nonsense.

As your own posts demonstrate, atheism is not a lack of believe in a deity (a passive thing, an absence) but a disbelief, an active thing of not believing something - and thereby believing somethjing else.

SO in that sense atheism IS a form of belief, a belief that there is no deity - and not simply a lack of belief either way.

To you, homosexuality is a species thing and more, but 'spirituality' and wondering about our non-material aspects isn't even remarkable, and never mind that every culture in every age had a form of 'spirituality'.
