I'm a christian. However, I do not attempt to make others believe or see as I do. I simply stick to my guns. My own beliefs, values and morals guide me based on my understanding. It's not really that hard.

According to the bible and accepted church dogma (Protestant and Roman Catholic alike), this is unacceptable behavior.  The bible commands that you evangelize.  And in certain dark circles, it is believed that you will go to hell, not for your sins, but for my sins, since you haven't tried to save me.  Sad but true.

There's nothing wrong with with faith or religion, as long as you keep it to yourself.  It's when you start pushing it on others that it becomes a burden.

Lately, I've been getting the feeling that a lot of people would like to see the US become a secular Christian state.  Kinda like Iran.  I really don't see that being a good thing.

Interesting. Any biblical references?

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Quote from: Orethrius
My problem, near as I can figure, is that all these people "fighting for their God" are violating the single most sacred Commandment - the Bible lists it first, and I wouldn't doubt that other doctrines do the same - that "thou shalt not murder."  I won't even get into distinctions between "murder" and "mercy killing" but the whole rationale behind "he killed him, so I'll kill him" and the endless cycle of bloodshed  for ideals that include the prohibition of murder seems hypocritical to me.  The whole thing just makes me sick to my stomach.

To me religion is hypocrysy ... and yes it makes me sick to my stomach. But, I don't like dwelling on the subject ... it depresses me :( ... sorry

If it does (and there's a reasonable chance it might) ... then I'm going away from here ... far far away ... where ? I dunno yet, I'll think about it

I'm considering Bulgaria if things go south - they sound like they've all the makings of a proper technocracy if someone would liberally apply the Scalpel of Logic(tm).

It really sickens me the number of people fighting for ideals that include "Thou shalt not kill." I almost collapsed when I heard Israel justifying their bombing of Beirut, just as I gagged when Hezbollah argued that it was "Allah's will" that Israel be wiped from the face of the earth. What kind of God allows this behaviour?

heehee, quaint comments. You'd probably change your mind if your neighborhood was being missiled and just generally attacked for decades.

Regardless though, I'm not on anyone's side, this is not my business. But the facts are Israel is not targetting civilians for death, while their enemies do that as their first resort. I don't see hezbollah throwing pamphlets to warm civilians before the real missiles. If civilians are dying blame the attackers going out of their way to use them as shields.

Remember that this Israel-Hezbollad thing is just between two governments .... I've spoken to people (relatives) from those areas and they told me the civilians there (Israelis and Palestinians) have no quarrel whatsoever, they would like to live in peace, they consider one another neighbors. It's the two bloody governmental powers that constanly fight each other.

I wonder if other people have the sandbox-analogy to explain what is happening down there.

Oddly enough...that's my opinion towards homosexuality...but when it comes to that, for some reason it's wrong and I'm a sick, prjudiced, horrible homophobic person for fealing that way...

Even more oddly enough, it's not that at all...If you're a man, I don't want to know you enjoy sucking on penis or wiping poo off your dangler...the thought alone disgusts me...

Why is that any worse? It's a strange dichotic world we live in...

I'd have to agree ... I usually try to avoid the subject cuz it's pretty fucking disgusting ... and why do they call it homophobic ? is it a phobia ? why not call it AIDSphobic ? the majority of gay people have AIDS due to multiple safety reasons concerning their practices

Only if they're stupid and don't take precautions.

Loads of women take it up the back passage too, you know. I've just come back from a holiday in Grt Yarmouth and there was a hen party in one of the night clubs. The women were all walking around saying "up the bum no babies", but you can still get AIDs so you still need condoms.

You are somewhat uneducated, kid.  Whatever percentage of homosexuals who are HIV+, it ain't a majority.  And just so you know, it is possible for an HIV+ person to have sex without infecting his/her partner, if it is done safely.  Now, the gay community will be the first to admit that they don't have the greatest track record of safety.  But that doesn't mean that gay sex will give you AIDS.  That's like saying that masturbating will give you hairy palms.

btw, to everyone, gay men probably don't even want you.  And even if they did, they probably wouldn't whip out their cocks on a city bus.  That's not normal human behavior.  Occasionally, you will find some nutjob making passes at you, but he's only slightly different than the insecure jackass that tries to grab every woman's ass on the streets - this kind of behavior is insulting and vile no matter who it comes from.

I find pineapple on pizza to be incredibly gross and disgusting, so do you know what I do?  I don't eat it.  And if someone offers it to me, I say "no thanks".  See how easy it is to get along with your fellow citizens?
