Isn't that weird? :wink:


As much as I hate most Christian faiths, I have nothing but utter contempt for Islam. It was founded by a warmonger, who preached hatred and war to his followers. It remains the same today.

So there :lol:

Christians persecute homosexuals, yes, but in Arab countries they'll kill you on sight. If the Western world has litlle tolerance for LBGT, the Arab world has none. So the LGBT are better off with the Christians. I agree with your views on Islam, btw. I think it's inherently evil.

the influence of paul on christianity is far more perverse and paul has had a much stronger effect on the world and christianity than jesus.


Really? You must be a Divinity student.


so how come the only sources cited here are old testament laws that no christian follows and paul?

Funny how guys like you never get banned. Must be WP's anti-Christian bias.


There have been a few polls on here about belief in God; I think there is even a current one going. As I remember, they split fairly evenly between yes and no.

Religion gets put in the same section as politics and philosophy. That's because it is a controversial topic; When you post something pro-Christian, you are likely to get a spirited rebuttal (and visa-versa :lol: )

I haven't seen anything inappropriate on here. Attacking a religion (or lack of same) is permitted. Attacking people is not.

So you agree that Paul was perverse and satanic?

Those who work for George Bush exhibit those very tendencies on a daily basis... does that mean that George Bush is really God?

:lol:

i leave too much in the "understood" side. i meant that organized religion is a bunch of authority figures with blank checks and no real way of disproving them or saying they're wrong because then you're attacking their religion.

george bush is on about the same level as a preacher, though.

Sorry dude, that doesn't cut it.

Just because you're not hunting me down and killing me doesn't make it right or even OK. The way Christians treat homosexuals is a scandal. It is cruel and profoundly hypocritical. How can anyone even consider being part of an organization that promotes hatred of loving and artistic people?

Oh, and by the way, the pope prances around in an art filled palace, in full-length embroidered gowns, golden hats, jewels and Gucci shoes (very heterosexual behavior! all my straight friends love to wear gowns around the house) while poor people are giving him their hard earned money, and he's telling us gays we're decadent???
Puh-leeze!

Curious that you are saying Christians persecute homosexuals, is that a good thing or a bad thing, slowmutant?

Of course they are better off without the Christians, we all are. 8)

But Canada is very tolerant with GLBT people, isn't it? :?

Alex Trebek: Ok, Bob. IF YOU TAKE ONE PART AVERICE AND ONE PART HYPOCRISY AND MIX IT WITH SOME DISTASTEFUL BLANTANT LIES, what do you get??

Bob: What are a Christians favourite things!

Alex Trebek: You got it! Bob, you add five hundred and you get to pick again..

I'm sorta late in the discussion...but I just wanted to add my bit.

So I read several posts....and well it seems that the arguments have gone from whether homosexuality is bad to whether it is bad based upon christian belief. Someone said something about if you distribute the belief that opposes what is says in the bible that you will not be looked highly upon in heaven (perhaps higher than the murders, rapists, etc who become christians later in life....maybe a little higher? :chin: ) ....and that if you distribute the beliefs of the chrstians to be true and propogate such doctrines...that you will be placed in best company, and looked highly upon in heaven.

and in repeating those statements, in not so many words, I must say that I need to reinforce my standards in increasing gay awareness and acceptance...diversity, yada yada. I don't want to be in any christian's company after I die. I can't imagine a more annoying afterlife.

someone else said something about WrongPlanet having a strong anti-christian(ity) bias. I haven't been here long enough to observe that but I wholeheartedly look forward to it. i tend to lean and fall over way on the side of religion (christianity in particular) being on the same level as myth. you know, like santee clawz and the tooth fairy..there sits god playing poker with the rest of them in the cumulative memory of mankind. he's a glorified archetype. nothing more. and christians just downright anger me at times with the horribly oppressive state of mind they sit around in.

anyone else heard about the evangelical protest at a gay soldier's funeral? they bombarded the mourners saying that the soldier shouldn't be allowed to be buried with honor, or even in that particular cemetary...because he was gay.

how very heartless.

anyone seen 'jesus camp' ...it's a documentary. a scary one at that. last i chekced you could watch the entire thing on you tube in segments. it'd be a good discussion topic of it's own.


on the other hand i have a few chrstian relatives who generally keep their beliefs to themselves...I don't mind that type of christian.

anywho..
