Religion – your views

[Xenon]

Rewards should not be given, but harsh punishments should. Or fines.

[Tobbe]

Back to god, people.

[spiraldoor]

Hades is going to be a boss in God of War 3.

I want that game

[Joshua822]

Hades actually doesn't have much to do with God. He only tried to kill Jezus and he is the god of the "world of the dead" in Greek legends.

[Holy Crap]

You know, I think I heard Jesus is actually called Joshua....

[Joshua822]

Nah, you're thinking of Joshua, the person that lead the Israelites to Isreal

I was kinda right....

Adam and Eve had a son between them. They didn't have a girl.
How on Earth did they reproduce infinetly?

[Jona]

They didn't. That's just a myth. Simple as that.

[iHeckler9]

I'm a Christian, so I believe that the son had sex with his mum.

[Tobbe]

You believe in everything that's written in the bible? How come you haven't tried to kill me yet? God commands you to, you know. If any part of the Adam and Eve myth was true, the human race would have died out long ago thanks to inbreeding.

Also, you should go out and kill anyone who does something that can be defined as work on Sundays.

Oh, and have you ever cursed your parents or wished them harm in any way? Better go kill yourself if you have.

[iHeckler9]

I like going to church.
We used to do it all the time, until we lost interest.
Now we go on Christmas for the free sweets.

[Tobbe]

What the hell has that got to do with anything I just said?

[Xenon]

Half of all that's forbidden according to the Bible is just unavoidable. How is it possible to love your neighbour as you'd love yourself if, for example, your neighbour was a mass murdering rapist?

By the way, it seems that there are actually more than ten commandments; in later chapters of the Bible more commandments of God are referenced, despite them (seemingly) not being carved on the magic stone in Mount Sinai. Perhaps somebody deemed the original ten to be a bit, well, off-put. xD

@ iHeckler: How can you lose interest in church? Surely, the reason you went was because you felt a connection with God? Losing interest would surely be counted as betrayal, and that's forbidden in a biblical manner Oh and 25% of people attend church at least twice a year, 75% of which attend during the time of advent. Thought I'd throw a pointless fact in there.

[iHeckler9]

Well, to tell the truth, we forgot to go one time and then we forgot about it all the time.
Except Christmas

[Acarr]

I've heard what's written in the Christian bible isn't true word-to-word (which seems pretty obvious) but they have symbols and meanings.

[Joshua822]

In my point of view going to church has nothing to do with being a good person. Being good for each other is more important then going to church once a week.

Actually, i believe if people would care less to go to church once a week and care more about people's feelings this world would be a much better place.

For example, Bush started a war that killed thousands of innocent lives, and still, he calls himself " a good christian " just because he gos to church. Well, i ask you, is he ?

[iHeckler9]

Joshua, you deserve to be called a God for that speech.
Lets see it again, shall we?

(Sniffs)
YOU MAKE ME PROUD, SON!

[Joshua822]

Thanks iHeckler9 !

Actually, that's why i don't bind myself to any church. I have a feeling that many people just use church to confess what they did wrong, but, during life just don't think about if their actions are good or bad. This makes me sick.

Yes, one cannot live without doing wrong, that's impossible. But at least one could try.

[iHeckler9]

I gave up on that years ago.
