Religion and Politics

Originally posted by Blackfang Originally posted by uc SYZYGY uc Originally posted by Blackfang Originally posted by HanFei Originally posted by uc SYZYGY uc I don't believe [we're] slaves to GOD or religion no more then where slaves to our own parents! what GOD would create all the amazing things in life and then enslave us in within them? As an aside, the Bible condones slavery and finds beating morally permissible, as long as the slave survives a day or two. Wa? Exodus 21:20-21 http://bible.cc/exodus/21-20.htm you really need to stop using the old testament as grounds for your arguements. they stoned people for adultery back then. in christianity we would never do that. Whats your point? Galatians 3:28    the law has no place in christianity as for one no man can keep the whole law. so if you care you can read Romans 3:20   and sizzle thats a dangerous way to look at it 2nd Timothy 3:16     i don't see it as dangerous at all. im human and if GOD doesn't forgive us for living as humans were all already forsaken!so what would be the point in being religious? i have forgivness so why would i think that GOD doesn't?there's a difference between choosing to live life, and choosing to be a bad person. im not saying be perfect but i am saying this john 14:15 then john 15:13   if you can do that you'd be darn near perfect

if GOD wanted me to be perfect? im sure he would have created me to be perfect! but then id be more like a robot then a human.

you already know that even if i read certain verses i'll still make up my own mind xD

im a good person so i don't worry too much about what my fate will be. but if i am to be condemed for some reason? im sure it would be for something in my past and not in my future.

well that tells me im in pretty in good shape then xD although i don't know what GOD commands of me? except for the 10 commandments ofcourse.

you can love and still break any of the ten commandments though xD drink a case of beer and its all good atm lol

Damn, Phantaci may not be very good at UT3, but dude can preach!!!   :o

Originally posted by Blackfang if you love God with all your heart, you aren't going to do that.

like ive said, im only human xD we all look out for our own interests for the most part. anyone who'd claim to be totally selfless is either without self awareness or honesty!

on this site ive created a persona thats far removed from my real self xD i never argue! i rarely curse! i always try to do the right thing! in game and on this site ive let my hair down a little so to speak. lol but you don't stay married as long as ive been married without being a pretty good guy _-) especially with the devorce rate being what it is xD

and i don't believe GOD showed me he exists just to mock me. but you never know? xD

thats a very generalised remark, i recall a few atheists here who haven't insulted, might wanna restate that (just a suggestion)

I'm not an atheist persay, however I think believing in something with no proof is idiotic and needs mockery. Some are cool with it, some are not, oh well.

LOL - good call.  I wish I had never started looking at politics.  It's a filthy mess-

Defending ones position is difficult.  I can tell you this with absolute certainty; if you fail to have a deep understanding of both sides of an issue and you are not prepared to defend your position on a subject in a way that is kind, compelling and meaningful, then you would do well to keep your mouth shut. The thread title says "Religion and Politics".  God forbid the two should ever meet... well since keeping your mouth shut leads to 0 discussion, i think saying keep your mouth shut is the 1 thing that shouldn't ever be suggested. and its probably the biggest diss also.
