As many kids fall into deep christianity with no real basis for belief as do Athiesm* though

*the kind of angsty spiteful athiesm i think josh is talking about

ugh...sorry but this sort of annoys me, no offense. You can't possibly know that you get things from god. People have been praying for world peace for how long now?

[quote=fivelivesdeadandgone;17075261]not at all. just a lot of dumb kids fall into it.[/quote]
same way with religion though.

It's still fun to mess with Christians because they're so serious about their beliefs. Like, I had 45 minute conversation with this Mexican inferior about if we had pre-determined destiny.

I could tell she was getting angry by the dirty brown complexion fading off into a red, cherry like color.

lol

yeah I had a little discussion w/ my Christian manager at work on Saturday
his explanations were funny

In the end, I don't care what people believe as long as they aren't stupid about it.

cherry like cholo

that's why I said "within reason." and yeah of course I could doubt that I get things from God, but there is no other reason for me to be as successful as I am. I have no education and nothing to offer the world whatsoever and I'm a jerk, yet I have a great career, an awesome wife and daughter and I own a home and two cars. The way I look at it, God is taking good care of me.

faith is belief without evidence

so theists are stupid by default?

I'm so used to saying "**** of christ" because of my constant metal listening that I've been unable to divorce my actual beliefs from my more satirical ones.

I'm like an onion, with many layers of complete bullshit.

Doesn't that irk you that you think all of your accomplishment are essentially god's and not yours?

In the same note without his belief in a high power would he have motivated himself to earn those things?

Really I haven't worked for these things. I'm not the kind of person who my job should've hired. I''m not the kind of person my wife should have married. I don't deserve to have such an awesome daughter and life etc. I'm lazy and selfish. There is no other explanation IMO.

Man, I remember when we had good religious discussion in this thread

[quote=Iluvatar;17075288]In the same note without his belief in a high power would he have motivated himself to earn those things?[/quote]
who says his belief in god had anything to do with him earning those things? Not to be an ***, but from his own reasoning god gave him those things, he didn't earn them. "he's taken care of".

ef onions on pizza. bloomin onion ftw!

I brought my SNES home to smoke a bowl and then play, but I'm starting to reconfigure the whole thing. I really don't know.

a basic christian belief is to be humble and not overstate oneself isnt it

i got a NES a few weeks back

This could be going much worse BTW. =)

being humble has nothing to do with earning things by yourself.

Ok, but **** like this happens all the time. its not some mystical thing, its life.


It just bothers me that you ascribe everything you ever had that is good in your life to an outside force you had nothing to do with.

I've been playing Digimon World 3 lately only because I love games that are exasperatingly difficult and require 50 hours of ridiculously monotonous grinding

with my favorite things ever digimon

Given that all the responses are like 2 lines...not really.

Unless it was a flamewar or something but then I'd just ban you all >:[

It's like when all the negros in sports thank God after they score. It's so ridiculous, but funny that we're all this stupid.

THANKS GOD FOR GIVING ME THE ABILITY TO JUMP HIGH AND SHOOT A BALL

thats totally humble and preaches what Jesus taught
