Are mostly right, but maybe a bit too intense. 12%  12%  [ 13 ]
Are mostly wrong, but we need the balance. 9%  9%  [ 9 ]
VERY WRONG! Christian morals are great for church, but church and state must remain separate! 73%  73%  [ 77 ]

Well, that does bring up problems! A Mormon guy told me that he wanted to save my ancestors (well, yours, too), and that is why they have that exhaustive geneaological database.

If they are successful, we will all be stuffed into heaven where we don't fit, bickering and punching each other even more than we do here. :x

Also, Hell would be practically empty, which makes it sound like a pretty nice place to me, if they could just address the A/C issues. :twisted:

Christianity tends to make people overly conservative-minded. As long as a person is a Christian, without being an "extreme" Christian, it doesn't really bother me. I think that if everybody would consider themselves as being agnostic, this world would have far less problems than it has right now. I'm saying this as an former Christian and current Agnostic.


I would say that Christianity fosters scapegoats and quixotic windmills for those who feel they need them, as much as any ideology.

I'm a Christian and I don't really care, one way, or the other. I do admit, that I've looked at stuff on the Internet. :oops:

yeah I heard about how the morons were "adopting" dead people of different religions to "save" their souls.

If I ever met an "extreme" Christian preacher, I would physically attack him. If the entire town's laws were based on extreme Christian laws, I would attack every government official and police officer in that town--because extreme Christian laws are unjust.

There are an infinite number of rooms in heaven, each labeled with a number.

Unfortunately for you, God in all his infinitastickness already has an infinite number of people, one in each room.

Now, there are an infinite number of people at the Pearly Gates (from an infinite number of Universes), and each one wants a room.

In a finite amount of time.

Work on it guys ;)

Just how are these infinite number of rooms numbered? Are we supposed to rely on transfinites for expressing that?

I wouldn't expect that response from you. You usually seem to be more "passive". 8O

I just hate extreme Christians, but thank goodness that such a place doesn't really exist, and thank goodness that I am a very peaceful person.

One of my mom's cousins is a Pentecostal preacher, and I plan to avoid family reunions and funerals because he might be there.

There is a room 1. For each room n there exists a room n+1 next door down the hall.
If a is next door down the hall from room n , and a is next door down the hall from room m also, then room m is actually room n.
Room 1 is up the hall from all other rooms.

If the person in room n coming out to party in the hallway causes the person in room n+1 to come out and party with them, and the person in room 1 comes out to throw a party in the hallway: then everyone comes out into the hallway to party.

Extreme Christianity does my nut. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people having their own religious beliefs. Just because I find it illogical and irrational doesn't mean everyone else should feel the same way. But history has shown that church and state, like francium and water, have disastrous results when mixed together.

And they would condemn me for watching South Park, and I am the type of guy who expects sex no later than the third date, when it comes to relationships.

The fundies are the cause of most of my problems.
