pheonix, religion IS what you eat, breath, live, etc. just because you don't follow one or you believe in a less strict one does not make it any more or less right than any other. it's simply a belief. It may seem rediculous to you, but to them to NOT do it seems equally rediculous..

I know religion has to be taken some what seriously, but what people start to make it something they live, breathe, eat, and sleep, that's when it becomes stupid.

I'm with flex that page makes me wanna punch every person who whole-heartedly believes all of that. Sorry to Wolfy etc, but everything i just read alienates people like myself who don't believe in that outlandish b.s. I will NEVER "find" God or put my "faith" in Jesus because I know its all rubbish, so therefore i WILL go to hell, according to these people.

I KNOW i'm a good person. but even good people feel anger, and lust, and jealousy sometimes. We're human we all do it. But we have people to help us through it.
I will not accept I'm going to burn in helllfire for all eternity because I dont follow their overly-strict-outdated-claptrap rules.
And whats worse is that they make us feel bad by saying taht stuff and thinkthey're a 100x better than the est of us.

Typical just when i was beginning to loose my anger for christianity.

In the Multiplayer mode the morality rating can drop drastically as the adult content and language is pretty much up to those with whom you play.
Lara Croft
"Tomb Raider" is designed to infatuate adolescent boys with a sexy girl they can control and to be titillated by her voluptuous body and sensual moans and groans. When I scanned the Internet for references to "nude raider," I found literally thousands of postings by young boys wanting copies of the code and pictures of Lara in full frontal and rear nudity. While the game itself is not overtly violent or perverted, these "extra" features make it highly suspect.
AVP
This is definitely an adult only game and then I advise you skip the Alien and Predator modes and see how far you can get as the Marine. And be prepared for the Captain's video and radio contact. It brings new meaning to "Curses like a Marine"!

One of the weapons you can use as a Jedi Knight is throwing "the force" at your opponent thus knocking them down. This movement of objects with thought is known as telekinesis and is forbidden in the Bible (Gal. 5:20).

They don't have a "shove it up your asses" option in the form at the bottom. All their answers assume they're right and you're wrong, and the only thing they're askign is "how wrong do you think you are?". That's really stupid.

Maybe I have a different Bible, but Galatians 5:20 says "(5:19)[It is obvious what proceeds from the flesh: lewd conduct, impurity, licentiousness,](5:20) [idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, bickering, jealousy, outbursts of rage, selfish rivelries, dissensions, factions,](5:21)[envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I have warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.]
Unless telekenisis is under sorceory, it doesn't say anything against it, besides the fact that it's impossible to do.

heh, and this: http://christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c005.html

Nowhere in the bible does it ever say that God created the earth before anything else, or that the never was anything else before earth.

No, you believe it's all "rubbish." Neither side knows anything.

anyways, I think many of you are taking that site very wrong. I can understand if you have differing opinions, and if this was about something stupid like cars or airplanes or how peanuts because a ballgame food, then it wouldn't bother me but I can't stress enough that this is these peoples RELIGION. I just can't see how you can insult and laugh at somebody elses beliefs. If you don't want to believe it, fine, don't, but leave it alone, for goodness sake...

I haven't checked out the rest of the site, but the particular linked page really misses the point.

Jesus himself got pissed at people who measured the worth of a person by how well they would follow a set of laws.
Jesus also considerably shortened the list, though I can't remember how much.

They probably just added it afterwards. I mean, there are quite a few parts of the original scriptures that have been omitted and altered to suit the preists. If that doesn't show that Christianity is a load of BS, then I don't know what will.


(Oh, and one part about Christianity that REALLY pisses me off - I've been told before that God and Jesus love everyone. But if you don't worship him you go to hell. If you have sex before marrige you go to hell. [which I might add is an idiodic concept. God created all the creatures of the Earth, but have you ever seen two squirrels or two cats getting married? Does that mean all of God's creatures, EXCEPT those humans that get married before sex, are going to hell?] I have to follow 10 stupid rules, and of course, love God and act like I can't make any descisions for myself because that's his job, so I don't go to hell? What is hell, anyways? Satan is a fallen angle, right? So where did he make hell? And how? Just snapped his fingers, did? And if Satan so desperately desires our souls (isn't it supposed to be "the last days" now, where Satan is preying on all of us, to "turn" us, or something? If Satan wants us so bad, why the **** would God punish us and send us there? I mean, isn't he supposed to love us all? But you break a rule, I send you to the bad place. He's really making it easy for good old Satan then, isn't he? I've got no problems with religion, but at least try and make your bull**** have some sense to it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif] )

[/rant]


[oh, nothing against Christians. I got nothing against those who follow the religion (unless you try and make me feel guilty for not buying into your crap) I just got something against the religion itself, as well as pretty much every other religion.]

[oh, and to those who are going to complain about me insulting their religion - why do you care? I'm going to hell anyways, right? If you belive so deeply about your religion, then my "mindless ramble" is all false, isn't it?]
