Deity Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 *Gets ready for insults* Anyway, so who would be interested in talking about personal beliefs? We might actually learn from each other. Or at least hear/see what goes on in here. If you don't want to participate in this sorta thing, then by all means, nobody is forcing you to, but there are a few religious peeps here that could benefit from sharing their views with each other. So I'd very much appreciate it if you people don't come and ruin this. If we do it in a civilized manner, peeps, I believe that we can pull it off.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 This was tried before (sort of) and it failed. It's not gonna work this time either, specially since you're the target of many flames so this thread will just end up being another flame war.

Anyway, you probably already know the gist of it, seeing as it has around 2 billion followers (or so I've heard). But there's one thing I need to get out right now, Christians believe Jesus and God are the same person. I hate it how so many people don't know this, but it is true.

Well, I'm not in the mood for arguing, but I'd say probably most Christians believe this. And if you're gonna argue with me, I'll leave. All right. You may or may not have heard of the Trinity. The Trinity refers to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit (the good will in all Christians) as being one and the same. Since God can do anything, what's restricting him from being three beings at once?

Cause they don't ignore me. XD Why not? Because there are so many of us who think different? That's messed up. How is a civilized topic to remain that; civilized, when nobody follows the rules? If we stick to being nice, hear people out, offer views etc, it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I'm a Catholic hating Protestant who wants revenge on those bastards who ruined our religion. I want to bomb every Catholic church in the world in replace it with a Protestant one. In all seriousness, I'm a Pentecostal Christian. I believe in the Holy Trinity (God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost) but I also believe that God and Jesus are two separate Divine people (bite me Yourgranny). I will however, never force my religion down anyone throats and I do not believe that my religion is the right one. I'm faithful to it, but no religion is right. Also, I don't give a damn what faith-based religion you belong to or if you don't even believe in a god. I'm not going to fight over somebody else veiwpoints. Anyways, this is going to end well!

It's good to know you believe, for you are right in one way...Religion really doesn't matter, because in the end, God will not only take those from a single religion, but from others as well that truly believed in his word and obeyed his commandments. All in all, as long as you truly believe in him, his plans, etc, you are more than saved. I believe that there is a father, a son and yes, the holy spirit, all three seperate things at once, not together. For one thing, an all-father is mentioned through out the bible, as well as his son, Jesus. And the holy spirit, which now adays gives us believers the endurance and good will to go on. The bible is not just simple words and texts, if you dig deeper, you find the real meanings of many of the things written there. Heck, I love reading it, I always find something to explore, something to enrich my life with. Any problem I might have to face, I go to the bible and there is always something there that helps me break through, as if God himself tells me where exactly to look. This might sound spooky, but sometimes the answer to many of my problems/doubts is given on the exact page that I open my bible. My religion, like any other, has its doubts, etc. So as long as we stick to believing, telling others about how they can be saved and maintaining our faiths intact, we are more than saved.

Shuuda Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) So as long as we stick to believing, telling others about how they can be saved and maintaining our faiths intact, we are more than saved. Haven't you guys been doing that "believing" thing for a while now? Maybe it is time to update your beliefs to current discoveries. Jehovah's Witness are nothing more than bad salesmen. They come up, advertise their religion with a load of bogus promises (without any proof I might add). Use some scary tactics about how Satan (a figure which has no place in our morally developed modern society) is going to destroy us all. Nothing but a load of stories about how a book written by men is somehow the unquestionable word of a super being Mary Sue. You want nothing more than to take away all the wonderful progress that mankind has made, and drag us all back to a time where illnesses were possessions of evil, and people who were different were shun as heretics. You want to bring mankind to an intellectual dead end by sticking a "God" label on anything that cannot be explained. Religious superstition is dangerous to the world. Thank goodness that you have no actual proof, so at least intelligent people will never take you seriously. I believe that if God did exist, he would be majorly pissed by the bad name religion has given him/her/it. Not to mention all the crap they've done in his/her/its' name. Here is a fun game to place: why don't I go and count how many lives were saved by religious superstition, and you can go count the number of lives that common sense and science has saved. And no, claiming that we are going to be saved by God does not count unless you can prove it (not that the word has any meaning to you).

TheEnd Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Religious discussion can only work when the ones discussing share the same religious beliefs.
