 thisnamecantbetaken says: Friends, I can't even go on here. Look at my face, see how flushed I am? You get me going on about the Catholics and I'm likely to have a heart attack. I just thank God that everything our youngsters know about the Catholic Church is what they've been hearing on TV. Most of our Truly Saved® Christian children are so terrified of priests that they can't even sleep at night. Let's open our hymnals to page 217 - Just As I Am, singing from the second stanza. . . "Just as I am. . ." Truly Saved® ChristiansThe content of the clip was written by a pastor! *Real* Christians of course have a registered trademark and a $750 million budget. If anyone can spot the teachings of Christ anywhere in this "sermon", would you please point them out to me? I seem to be temporarily blinded by the hypocrisy of it all. But let's open up youtube and have a little sing-a-long, shall we? Praise the Lord. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugZq9hiuCJo love the video,that's going in my favs Actually, we don't worship mary! we send our prayers through mary to her son! Still, that doesn't make sense. You're supposed to be praying directly to God, not through Mary, and not through her son. Just that act alone hints at some kind of doubt that God isn't listening. Not a very faithful act, IMO. Now, if you were saying a prayer FOR Mary, or FOR Jesus, that would be different. "Still, that doesn't make sense.

You do know that Landover Baptist Church is a parody, don't you?No, I didn't! *LOL* But that just makes it even better!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landover_Baptist_Church "Poe's Law" .... BRILLIANT  "Poe's Law" oh that explains soooo much, I thought it was just me. Bumping into a hellbound Catholic....hmmm. And right, because all Catholics enjoy playing with little boy's penises just like all Muslims enjoy strapping bombs to their chest in hopes of living in eternal paradise with 72 male virgins that look like Kim Jong il. Nice generalization. Let's apply all of our prejudices and labels across the board to be fair. That sounds cool. As for the liberal double standard of tolerating everything except conservatism and Christianity, that simply shows it is literally impossible to be tolerant of everything (unless you’re dead). Everyone must be tolerant up to a certain point, and intolerant past that point. Hitler was tolerant up to a certain point, ... Not all catholics are into child abuse thank you! In your first paragraph, clip-on-tie, you condemn generalisations and in the next paragraph, you make generalisations about liberals. *Sigh* Look, I'm not American and where I live, we don't waste our time trying to get people to fit into nice, neat, little boxes or adhere to the certain labels. Life is way more complex, than the black/white, left/right, liberal/fascist, atheist/believer blah blah blah world many Americans seem to like to wallow in. I'm an agnostic myself. I am all for spiritual enlightenment and seeking a higher truth, but I am dead against organized religion, which strives to bind people's minds and force them to adhere to rules and doctrines. I shun it with a passion! W... Great explanation TN, I admire your patience. Speaking of patience, I have very little when it comes to suffering fools gladly .... my Achilles heel  Patience? *LOL* Clip-on just happened to catch me on a good day. Had I been PMS'ed, my patience would have been totally non-existent, I assure you .  We have a lot of opinions here. Anyone ever think to check the Bible? What really amazes me are the people who cheat on their wives, hurt other people, are pathological liars, think they are better than everyone else and live in their own little diluted egotistical world are the ones that go to church every Wednesday and Sunday night. They are the ones who vote Red and are full of original sin. What would Jesus do? Indeed.... They do it out of tradition. There is no right or wrong here whatsoever. It is simple common courtesy. For instance, if you hurt someone, apologize and do not do it again. But instead these people hide behind the name of God to be a-holes. Must be nice to be a jerk with no consequences (i.e. they could say the Lord wants them too d... "We have a lot of opinions here. Anyone ever think to check the Bible? " Check it for what exactly? A mocked time line, how to have sex, how to kill people until they are dead for sure, how to whore your kids out, how to be nice to a person when it suits you? What exactly would one be referencing in the bible for a current debate? Well, since there is no clear cut answer to which religion to follow.. it will be a hard reference. Anyone ever think to check the Bible?Which one? There are innumerable versions and translations to pick from. Do I disregard the fact that many books were deleted or left out through the ages? Or do I pretend they never existed and the version of your choosing is all there is? What about other sacred texts? Which version of the godly "truth" would you have me ask? Just so we're on the same page here. .:  You pick it. At least it would be better than someone's opinion. Which ever I choose, it would be the opinions of others. As I have stated elsewhere on CM, I think if one truly seeks the "truth", then it's intellectually dishonest to restrict oneself to the words of ONE book. ALL the knowledge you can gather from ALL ancient texts, from all religions, from all times and ages, from all the science you can swallow, from all philosophies and beliefs should be taken into consideration and then you seek to find a common thread in all these things. Then perhaps you can get one step closer to an impartial and non-religious, but fully spiritual truth. The teachings of Jesus fit the bill IMO and not much else in the Christian Bible's version o... I grabbed this off a link graciously provided by [[Antara}} on an older clip of mine: "As Aristotle begins his Metaphysics, "All men by nature desire to know." There is something within us—manifested as it is in the entire spectrum of human endeavor, from the sciences, to philosophy, to religion, to the arts, to ethics—that demands we pursue the whole story of the whole cosmos if we are to be whole persons, in order to know who we are, where we are from, where we are going, and how we should live." THAT makes more sense to me and is more honest, than any religious doctrine, any day.  http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/CB1D21D9-F24E-431C-94D4-0140C3A4DEE5/ It's not like "True Christians" are any more monotheistic. They worship 3 gods - the father, the son, and the holy ghost. Sure sure, they'll try and cover it up by saying they are all the same thing, only 3 different facets of the same god - but really now. A little common sense would make you wonder then why there aren't MORE of these "facets" "I prayed to god to bring the rain" "I prayed to Jesus to save my son" "I prayed to the holy spirit to inspire my soul" "I prayed to Love to find my mate" "I prayed to Justice to punish my attacker" "I prayed to Fertility to give me a child" "I prayed to Chance to win the lottery" "I prayed to Health to cure my ills" "I prayed to Harvest to bless my... |
