anywho, that’s funny some kid getting a lecture from his friend’s aunt. Sooo not into the whole relatives seeing my page thing…I love them enough to limit what they can see on my page lol.

sorry to burst your bubble but the bible IS what men say, not what God says.

The religion itself(as I’m sure you can tell) seems to be named after Jesus. So anything done in its name is in Jesus’ name too. I think that the first generations of popes(who knew Jesus or Peter personally) had some authority but after 20 or so they weren’t anything special. God does not appoint popes. Men do. They can’t just claim to speak the will of God to justify whatever comes to mind. I’m not catholic(as I’m sure you can now tell). I follow what the bible says over what men say. There’s that offensive lack of tolerance again.

@atheists: don’t waste your energy on this. The god botherers are never going to change, you’re wasting your time.

They’re always gonna win cos their sky fairy gives them everlasting life. So they don’t _really_ care what happens here, because no matter how shit it gets on earth, they always have an afterlife to look forward to, so long as they obey god’s precepts.

We are the ones always at a disadvantage, cos we know this is the only life there is, but we’re never gonna get these idiots to believe in that strongly enough to really want to change things on earth. And they seem to always be in the majority.

So…. Stop worrying and enjoy your life…. And stop trying to convert the believers.

1. “A theist” – I din’t write a fucking thesis
2. My comments are directed at what is done in the name religion, not what is done in the name of Jesus. Your sky fairy has no more claim to supremacy, or to my consideration, than any one else’s.
3. When something is commanded by the pope, it is ipso facto legitimately done in the name of god, and his bastard offspring. At least according to Papal doctrine it is. Fucking circular logic. And people wonder why I don’t like the church.

I’m obviously talking about based on his character. Jesus didn’t go around smiting whoever didn’t listen to or believe him. Any people that do so in his name need to take another look at the gospels.

Yes, the guarded tomb just phased Jesus’ body elsewhere right?

(And sorry, it was Danish. I totally slipped on that one. I read the story back when it came out and do know it was Danish but when I had posted my previous post a while back, I wrote Dutch.. my bad!)

Of course not, he was fucking dead. You can’t involve someone if they had no part in the decision making process, which he couldn’t, because he was, and continues to be, dead.

The crusades were not LEGITIMATELY done in the name of Jesus because they involved murdering people who were uninvolved. The inquisition wasn’t either because Jesus would never imprison someone for just not believing. For something to legitimately ve done in the name of Jesus it has to be something he would condone. It’s like that guy who keeps impersonating me. He has my name but what he says in my name isn’t what I think and you can’t claim that what he says is legitimately in my name. You look through the bible and see what kind of person he was and then give an example of some evil legitimately done in his name.

EVERY1 CAREZ WHAT I THINKS

Read my last post again. You missed a critical part of it. I’ll give you a clue, it’s in brackets. No one is justified in violence against Christians or any other religion (except those that involve knocking on your door in the early morning on the weekend) but hatred quite naturally breeds hatred.

Romans persecuting Christians were not atheists or agnostics, they were killing in the name of other religion. Not much bad done in the name of Jesus? Well I disgree. I’ll give you the Crusades and The Inquisition for free, but if you can’t think of any others, you really aren’t trying.

I checked out persecuted.com, maybe you should too. It’s one of those crappy content free “related search” place holder websites. I checked out prisoneralert.com. All I saw was horrible acts performed by some religions against others, which pretty much supports my points.

PS, for deeper insight into my comments so far, have another read of the name I am posting under. I think you missed something. ID10Ts.

Learn some tolerance why don’t you. I’ll bet you’re one of those skinhead neo nazis. If not you have about as much respect as one.

she deserves it.

How about when the Roman empire made it a game to feed Christians to the lions or crucify them? Would you like to have seen that because it was justified somehow?

My “pathos”is minor compared to the suffering of others for my faith, I am so blessed to live where my posts will not cause me to be thrown in jail, or worse. But I guess, according to your reasoning above, it would be justified because of the people that have hurt and killed others in the name of my religion, even though it goes against everything that my religion teaches.
