Is satanism in your schoolyard?

I'm all for sexism for these types of "females."

Chain them to a wall and give them a good whack to the face with a lead pipe. Knock some sense into them.

Edit: 200th post, baby! And I wasted it on Ru Paul!

Well attleast christianity has usually been a hell of a business. Really, has the church ever been poor?

Well, the catholics of northern Europe got REALLY poor when the kings discovered the possibilities of reformation... They took everything churches had, including the bells and melted them into cannons for their ships

... but then again, I think Vatican somehow compensated the losses, they always do, like in this new anti-gay campaign. Every government that has allowed homosexual marriages will burn in hell, wee!

Oh forgot that one...

But before that (and I dont think the church has been very poor after that either)

I think the only ones that will be incinerated by the inferno are the ones advocating these absurd ideas in the name of some alleged 'god', assuming there actually is a hell. The irony.

Strap · Post by **Strap** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 2:25 pm

according to dante (as in the inferno/purgitorio/paridisio) people who don't beleive in god don't go to hell. (well, i will explain)
they do go to "hell" but it is not in any way hell. the place that non-religious people go is in fact almost identical to how we describe where we are now.
we are "hopeless" and will never see the "light of god."
this applies to both that section in hell, and where we are now... so we are all in hell? (also didn't the pope redefine hell and say it was something like "eturnal seperation from god?")
also, according to dante, if you beleive in god and do bad things, you will be punished. (severely in some cases)

i feel bad for all those religious fanatics... it just seems like they are living a lie and have wasted their lives on something that doesn't exist.

i am SO sympathetic towards ur view strapon. They are living a life of living in the shadow of something illusory that was initially conjured out of thin air to oppress the masses. Because thats what religion is by nature, an intrument of power.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 2:49 pm

Then again, who are you to say what is real and what isn't?

Maybe my cat is actually an ancient egyptian warrior-god who rules the world, but blinds me from seeing it's true power???+

Maybe God exists and you will burn in hell, like the catholics say...

... or maybe you'll all get to heaven like it originally was?

Or maybe we live in Matrix.

Or maybe I suck. KTHNXBYE

Whatever, i dread fanatics and their fucking dogma. They clutch to some infantile belief cause they are inherently incapable of giving meaning to their lives in individual ways.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 3:25 pm

So everyone who's into religion isn't acting as an invidual???

Yeah, pretty much.

Sol Invictus · Post by **Sol Invictus** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 5:22 pm

That is more or less true - for the zealous ones.

However, most people who claim to be religious have a very large tendency to be hypocritical liars who deceive others (and themselves) into believing that they are 'religious' when in fact they probably commit more vices than any non-believer. These, I would say - are individuals. However, they wouldn't be the kind of individuals that Nietzsche or Sartre would be proud of. If there's anything more Nietzsche hated than religious people, it was the hypocritical ones.

if god can do anything, can he make a stone so heavy that even he can not lift it?
heheh.

i believe too much in reality and science that i cannot in religion/gods. they just can't exist in my mind

Neon Dingo · Post by **Neon Dingo** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 10:38 pm

Yeah, I think Nietzche was right. God is in fact dead. More and more people are realizing that religion is the opiate of the masses.

Religion is not needed.

Also, I'd like to point out that the Episcopalians electing a gay bishop is a huge contradiction of an inherent Cristian belief that homosexuals are sinners.

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." - Leviticus 20:13

It is simply not possible to be gay and be a Christian. I cannot stress this enough. It seems that people have realized their religion is flawed so to compensate they change inhernent beliefs that are overtly expressed in the Bible by conveniently overlooking certain passages.

"And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you." - Deutoronomy 14:10

This passage shows how you aren't supposed to eat any seafood other than fish.

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

A crab is dirty? Give me a break.

How come we don't see any Christians picketting Red Lobster?

OnTheBounce · Post by **OnTheBounce** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 11:01 pm

Neon, you're arguing the straw man. Christianity divorced itself from Judaism and hence from the Deuteronomic Code. Do a bit of digging and you can find a little passage in the New Testament where Jesus tells one of his disciples that all of the animals are fit to eat. Don't take my word for it, look it up yourself.

Thank god for otb's biblical expertise. For a moment i thought i would end up in hell for preferring nutricious, healthy seafoods of various kinds over plain meat.

I didn't say that they weren't full of shit, I'm just saying that ND's argument that X-ians should be picketing Red Lobster is misconstruing their belief system.

Satan's in my backyard. He chases the dogs away.

The New Testament was basically a way to filter out all of the crap they didn't like about the Old Testament.

For example, when people stopped going to church because they felt that they had no reason to continue going, they inserted Satan into the New Testament. You can't find one mention of Satan (evil, mind you) in the Old Testament because he wasn't invented yet. They create him in the Old Testament to scare people into believing. It worked.

Yes, you're right about the Deutoronomic Code. I just think it's kind of stupid though how they just arbitrarily change things like with the New Testament. It shows how flexible something that's supposedly unchangeable is.

I just can't wait for The Newer Testament where it approves homosexuality and makes capital punishment a sin.
