And this is partially why I view religion as a bad thing

[Skylark]

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ"

"I like your Gandhi. I do not like the ones who quote him. The ones who quote him are so unlike your Gandhi."

I could've sworn that was from a movie or something, not gandhi

You're an idiot.

You're an idiot.

no thats me.

[rdl]

Thanks to that Jaleel bastard, I had to go and quote your post. After I posted it.

You're an idiot.

I totally didn't expect that

[Houdini]

i feel like religion is irrelevant to this discussion - unstable people will preach hate no matter what - it doesn't matter if they are religious or not - they will still feel prejudice toward some group of human beings

Nope. It's a Ghandi quote. He actually was interested in becoming a Christian until he wasn't allowed to enter a church he went to.

It's a very good point, too.

Believing you are eating transmutated flesh and blood makes you a believer if done in a church.  Done elsewhere and you will get a nice prescription of Seroquel.
It's a mass delusion.

No, it's symbolizing the last supper. Most of those wacky Christians don't actually believe their eating Jesus.

If you saw a guy claiming to have the ability to talk to God tomorrow would you believe him? What makes Jesus, Moses, Noah, etc any more credible?

The Bible.
Although I know that wont mean much to an Atheist pig dog like yourself.

they're* and uh I'm pretty sure the Catholic Church teaches it as the literal blood and flesh.

which the books weren't canonized for hundreds of years after jesus.

enough with the Catholics already. besides transubstantiation is a debated point within the church and you're just pointing out one side of it to make everyone look like a nutjob

only half of us are thank you very much

i thought we were talking about today

i mean, at the time i think people weren't calling them crazy because of the parting of the red sea and crapload of fish and bread and the huge boat when the water is getting higher and whatnot

they still believe it

the point there was why do you believe that the people in the bible had the same silly abilities that crazies claim to have now. the bible might say it but it wasn't completed for a long time after they died.

it's like me writing a book on nostradamus and claiming he was a prophet too, he's been dead a few hundred years

i mean, at the time i think people weren't calling them crazy because of the parting of the red sea and crapload of fish and bread and the huge boat when the water is getting higher and whatnot

those didn't happen

[Bolivian Army]

some of them do yes but the point im trying to throw down here is that you cant put every christian in a corner, point out the silly ones and label them all idiots

not in Moses case. yes the bible wasn't completed but his story was 

those didn't happen

good point, im going to counter with "yes they did" and see how that plays out

im sure nothing bad will happen

uh the point was that religion itself is silly and they hold the same views as crazies.

not in Moses case. yes the bible wasn't completed but his story was 

was that written as he supposedly did it or hundreds of years later

good point, im going to counter with "yes they did" and see how that plays out

im sure nothing bad will happen

so did beowulf it's an old poem and it happened
