How convenient it is that we are ALL born with sin, and the only way to heal it so to speak is to come to Jesus. L. Ron Hubbard would be proud!

You may also notice that quiet a lot of the seven 'deadly' sins lead to physical and emotional gratification. And that a few directly contradict, remove or solve the others [Pride Vs. Gluttony, for instance].

Ahhhh well we won't get through to these, they have an answer to everything, delusional or not.

if only you lot actually had a basic knowledge of what Christianity is then there could be a serious debate. All we have had so far is some myths, cliches and the usual insults that try (badly) to disguise a lack of subject knowledge.

Don't make me laugh, we know exactly what it is.

I think there's every possibility of a greater force but I do find the bible contradictory on points. I don't believe in placing all my eggs in one basket though so I don't really follow any religion and I don't think it's a point worth worrying about until you are near death or dead since we've got no proof to prove there's anything beyond death and no proof to say there isn't.

The Bible is 66 books written over thousands of years, some poetry, some prophesy, some allegory and some eyewitness history. The Old testament provides the types and shadows of what was to come in the New testament. The overarching theme is love.

Christianity is about faith and love. It is about how you live your life and how you treat others. It is not about a few facts or about death. It is about going to church, living, interacting and being.

Original Sin is a false doctrine, See Ezekiel 18 which comprehensively refutes it.

InOne 21-10-2009 03:20 PM
Christianity itself is full of contradictions and 'false' doctrines. Read the Bible, actually read it, you will see.

And someone following in Jesus' path is certainly admiral, given how morally up to scratch Jesus is in the New Testament [despite what an egotistical bastard he was in the old testament, or was that God? No Jesus is god. But wait, why does he pray to god then? I guess he must be the son of god. The trinity is a fascinating thing!] but it does NOT render religion valid in my eyes. Your still committing good acts in the name of something false.

I could go out on the streets now and give everybody a tenner in the name of Twacksmith, the god of leather pants, but despite my good actions, it would not make what I believe anymore credible.

You will, I should point out, see HOARDS of scientologists in there little yellow jackets helping people and showering them with care at most major disasters in America.
Hehe and I'd wholeheartedly respect your faith in Twacksmith especially if you were givin me a tenner

Dan Brown?? lol. If people are generally good, then I don't see why they need to follow a whole set of rules which are alot of times pointless. I mean, take Catholicism for example, you're not allowed to use contraciption so it's better to have unwanted babies??? makes no sense at all

Yep, it's funny how the Pope casually said 'Limbo does not exist'. Where did all those unbaptized babies go?

I love your Catholicism summary. Perhaps you could look into it a bit more?

lol, I know, that was made up years ago so the rich could buy their way out of it! Always comes back to money with organized religions. Same as politics, the power & the money drives them

Yep I think even recently the Pope said, send more money to the church and spend less time in purgatory!!! An old Medievil scam.

Yeah, same with the priests not being able to marry, they were years ago but the church didn't want the wives getting their property so they changed the rule! Loving or money hungry, you decide???:joker:

Shame it went nowhere. The Vatican is it's own country, don't you know.

InOne 21-10-2009 03:57 PM
Ahhhh Catholics, always making it up as they go along, got to love it.
