Reply to Determining what to do with a terrorist religion in Religion JoeUser Forums

If the OT is not true, why do so many religions claim it as a scripture? Why do many of those religions say it's corrupted in order to create a new religion based on a new document that they create, which changes everything, specifically when we have evidence that the OT has not, in fact, changed in any material way since the last known text, which was prior to the days of Jesus? If they are going to replace the old with something different, why even bother to keep the OT

You consistently misrepresent the beliefs of Christians and Catholics, then disagree with that. After we tell you what Christians and Catholics really believe, you act as if we had said nothing, usually stating "Why should I care what you actually believe?" It's not only rude, but it makes you sound stupid. You have been informed, but you don't become smarter for it.

Actually, God created Hell - it is a place prepared for Lucifer and his demons, not you. So you don't even belong there. But you'll end up there, because anything is better than being with God to you.

Android: Netrunner in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Anyone else around here playing this? Here's a little background for the uninitiated. Just after a little-known card game named Magic: The Gathering appeared on the scene, another card game by Richard Garfield came out called Netrunner. The game features two sides that played vastly differently from each other, so differently in fact that you could not use one side's cards in the other side's deck AT ALL. This was a collectible card game. Fantas

Reply to The flawed Christian God... in Religion JoeUser Forums

We constantly hear that the Christian god is oh-so powerful, almighty, omnipotent and so on... So let's put it to the test. Would a God have the need to get angry? If I had the powers of the Christian God, I would not have to feel anger by anything. Why would I bother. Nothing can hurt me - not even Lucifer. So why waste time on an irrational emotion like anger? Ever cared for someone, and watched them destroy themselves with drugs or

Don't let Christians vote.

In a day where looks are what's stressed in the media, it damages women's confidence, which is sad to me. Do we really want to lash out at the looks of the woman who got in without looking like a model? How many little girls are scarred early because of that attitude? It makes me very sad. :(

I'm not saying you should do the experiments yourself. I'm saying that the same way you trust the results from the science experiment is the same way that I trust the Bible - because I was told about it, I understand it, and it makes sense. You have shown that you don't understand it at all. This doesn't mean you're stupid. Mostly, I think you just have never applied yourself to the scriptures without some exterior misunderstanding coloring it.&
