Subject: Plus, I dont believe in religion, and I'm fine, Maybe people shouldnt give it up, but it makes people so closed minded. I argue my religious friends on belief, they say that why not believe that when I die, I am sent to paradise? I simply say, why believe in something I cant ever see. if I tell you now that there is a lake of fire out in my backyard, are you going to believe me.. NO, because that's stupidity. I mean, most christians I know are worse christians then me! AND IM NOT A CHRISTIAN..I mea, I know one, who has done things that I think are wrong, and I have high morals.But he has done something I wont even say, and this "god" will still let him in heaven. But he wont let me because I dont think he exists? Dont get me wrong, you can believe what you like, but when I die, I'm happy knowing that I'm buried in the ground, with a headstone marking my spot. I dont need heaven, because if religion didnt cause wars, we'd already be there.

Subject Author Date I have to dissagree with ye there Telemain. Religion didnt start the Civil war did it. No. Now then, actually, Lancepaw and Longlegs have proved me wrong about arguing, but when we all die (or when christians get raptured) everyone will see the truth, and that suits me just fine because I'm not afraid of dying because I know since I'm a christian, I'll go to heaven! (NT) Saketip 18:19:54 01/01/02 Tue So let's drop it and leave it alone. The world is full of religions, and I have found four christians (or five, but Im certain of four) here: Me, SkipRay, Shroudy, and Glenna. Now a few more may be out there, but those Im sure. (NT) -- Saketip, 18:21:40 01/01/02 Tue I'm a christian but I don't go to church or anything, I beleive in God, and pray and read the bible on Sundays. I beleive in Heaven because I was visited in a dream by my grandfather who died and well don't think I'm crazy or anything but I'm sure it exists. I do beleive tha tsome wars are cuased by religion but not all. I beleive that guns are good and it is the person who uses them wrong, but then again you can'st stop tha tperson from using them the wrong way, and it is just as easy to start a war with knives and swords as it is guns. (NT) -- Figgs, 18:19:19 01/02/02 Wed Right Figgs! ** Gives her a thumbs up** that's absolutely correct! I dont beleive in not going to church, but oh well, ye do the right things on Sundays, so good going! (NT) -- Saketip, 18:28:02 01/02/02 Wed I believe that everyoen should stop arguing. Intolerance is what started all these wars, not guns, not religion. Intolerance is what caused the Holocaust, 6 million Jews and thousands of Gypsies, Nuns, and those who tried to help them. The Nazis wanted the Jewish people dead, and they collected Jewish artifacts, they were planning on putting it in a musuem. We should all tolerate eveyrone else's idea. Even though I do believe in a heaven, I must respect Telemain's idea because, he may be right, I do not really know if there is a heaven. And he should respect my opinion, because maybe there is a heaven. We should stop arguing. (er, i hope that didnt sound like i was arguing there) (NT) -- Furrtil who wishes people will stop arguing, 23:47:00 01/02/02 Wed She's right, and i posted a message (I think Lancepaw for some reason deleted it) that we should forget the whole thing because its a new year and we have all learned a good lesson. (NT) -- Saketip, 23:49:49 01/02/02 Wed lol, no furtill it didnt sound like u were arguing, maybe u can stop this fight, but I dont really think it's a fight. oh well. (NT) -- figgs, 22:21:05 01/03/02 Thu Also Telemain, (THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY) If someone really loves someone, they will do what they say. If your friend really loves g-d (furrtil, your right, his name IS too holy!) they will do the right thing. (NT) Saketip 18:45:49 01/05/02 Sat Er, when did I say that? But it is true.... And people say Jehovah all the time but jews arent allowed to say that because we arent allowed to say the real name of g-d because it is too holy... so either people say adonai or they say yud hay vuv hey.
