Religon

[Alexander215]

Perhaps it's a good time to say goodbye to this thread? Moderators?

I somewhat agree, though I don't think it would solve anything.

[Timmay]

nahh it wouldnt solve anything.  People have been arguing about religion for 1000's of years...why solve it now.

I think even Neolithic man probably disputed personal beliefs. It's been going on for millenia, and probably always will.

I saw this thread as a way for everyone to share their individual and diverse beliefs...it appears to have jumped the track when some one thought conversion was needed???

Im personally an agnostic. I completely in a higher God. I believe religion is intensely personal and individual, and I don't believe any 2 people can see religion exactly 100% the same. My best friend is an atheist, and it isnt an issue. My personal reasoning is that there are too many coincidences in life for their not to be a greater plan, and if there's nothing after this life...honestly, why bother? Suffer through heartache, stress, disease...to end up in a pine box 6 feet under? Not worth my time!

I think we're all hear to learn lessons, and eventually, we move on.

Wow...missed all this...am glad I did...

imagine if we'd all been drunk talkin' bout this!?

The way you believe is yours and yours alone...just like it's your choice to take matters of your life into your own hands when you shaved your head smooth ( yea for me it DOES always go back to having a bald head )...

I think just like when we expect others to understand our want and need to be bald...

others should give our own beliefs the same understanding we strive for here.... just like we do with our choice of "haircut"!

ahhh keep it open.  All i have seen is one person who has had a disagreement with this thread.  Lets all grow up a little here...there is many many different religions in this country.  Yes of course we will disagree with some beliefs but if we all voiced our opinions on what we disagree with ..we wouldnt get anything done.  Its the people who ANALYZE everything who seem to be the ones who have unsolved issues in their life.  Havent you ever noticed that how much one person will put others down or see their faults....then take a look at the person who is making such accousations.  One day we will all see that it doesnt do any good to judge another person...in fact ..it is wrong to judge anyone.   Let bygones be bygones and ........March Forward!

Ditto that.

[NWTRNR]

Yep, good points -- guess we only have had one disgruntled so far. OK, I retract my suggestion.

[Timmay]

TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD....

a sign I seen yesterday..

" Life without God, is like an unsharpened pencil.  There is no point too it"

[The Zook]

Those church signs make me laugh sometimes

I guess my life has no point, even though I have a wonderful family with a wife and 3 kids. 

Please.

I'd love to express my opinions, but it would cause so much chaos around here it's not even worth the effort. If we could keep the little jabs out of this thread, that would be nice.

[Timmay]

Not making any jabs at anyone.  It is people like that who take offense to everything.  Why do they always have to have their defense up?  Just like the Bosely commericals.....I dont take offense to it...i just laugh at them and go on.  Obviously there is something there to make one go on the defense..or no comments would have been made...am i correct??

[The Zook]

Only that my life DOES have a point, even without the god you believe in.

The difference between you and I (and not the only one) is that I can accept that you believe in god, and even appreciate it. I'd never say your life is pointless because you believe in god, nor would I insinuate such a thing.

It wasn't funny, wasn't meant to be funny, and wasn't taken that way... It was an insult, just like most of those message are.

The whole 'be like me or you're nothing' attitude is what turns me away most.

[Timmay]

never once said be like me.....dont want you to be like me anyways...this forum cant handle two Timmay's

[StumpyDave]

Steady Chris.
Us godless heathens are in the minority. 

So far there's only 1 buddhist.  Maybe we can pick on him?

[Timmay]

thing is ...you all act like we are out against you.  Well we are all brothers in here.  But if that is the way you veiw it...then why do you visit the religion thread?  I understand RELIGION has many different forms of defining.  So, I cant speak for anyone else, but when I post in here..it isnt to bash anyone and never will.  But if that is the label you are going to put on me..well you do not know me very well and there you go to judging people.
