What factual evidence are you making any of these claims from? Half of your references are from a fictional book thought by many ignorant fools to be holy (the bible) and the other half are out of your ass. Your ignorance and arrogance mix perfectly into one giant cocktail of stupidity that is quite interesting to behold. Tell us more of the angel lucifer and how he's corrupting our minds. He sounds much more clever than your god, who clearly is a shitty architect if you look at our universe. For example, during the time you read what I've written here, at least 30 stars have blown up with forces beyond your imagining and wiped out entire solar systems. Also, 99.8% of species that have come into existence on Earth are now extinct. And, just flip on your news and look through a history book and tell me what you see in human nature (we are god's "perfect" creation are we not?). |

First off I'd like to note that I'm not pissed off in any way, but actually quite interested in your fallacious logic and how it functions. The fact that I came across as angry to you, however, and tells me that my argument was quite effective. |

I wasn't threatening...merely reminding you that disrespect is against forum posting rules. |

You don't see things with only logic. If things were that simplistic, do you think a mighty angel that was given all the wisdom would fall from grace? You can rule a lack of logic out as your main problem there. |

I admit I didn't read the whole thread, and I am not well versed in the study of Christianity, but is the point of this thread to call out devil worshipers? |

I'd be happy to address each of your 3 points. |

1) If logic is so competent, why is it still failing to connect you to god, and why isn't every logical person holy. |

Here is the story as I heard it in 1981. |

I know I said I was leaving this thread, but I kept thinking about the question: what is the point of this thread, it's not like we will persuade oneanother, and I realized that the real intended audience of most of my comments are the lurkers, especially young people who are like I was 20 years ago, trying to decide what to believe and whether a change in their paradigm is in order, asking themselves: who do I want to be? Which beliefs do I want to stand for? And the reason why I participated in this thread was to reinforce that one can be a Christian and open-minded and tolerant - there are different ways of interpreting faith, and you have to decide what you choose to believe in or not, each of you for yourself. Some of us have already chosen our beliefs, some of us are willing to continue questioning our beliefs or not, but there are people out there who may be reading this thread, and have not decided yet, and if you are one of those, I ask you to choose carefully, what you believe in or do not. |

I thought the cross would be more appropriate since it's a bout Christianity. When I said about coat of arms it being burned I was talking about all the times it has been used subversively to restore it to proper meaning. Kind of the opposite of what Hitler did to the swastika. Besides that I think the coat of arms is attractive and it's a shame that it has been so misused. Your tone is rather critical, as if you are implying I did something wrong. |

The other thread was closed so I will post here. |

Do y'all really think you're going to convince each other? |
|
I do, because all you really need to do is create a small seed of doubt. The reason religions so hate the idea of people questioning it, is because if you question it you will see the flaws. The flaws are so massive that you are bound to eventually reject the religion once you start thinking logically about it's claims. That is why it is a sin to question and doubt your faith because they know once you start down the path you will realize the truth. You have to ask your self though, why would it be a sin to ask questions? Why is it a sin to question your faith? How can thinking be a sin? |

The only reason he is reading your posts is so he can argue with them, and I'd venture to say that you are doing the same thing. Doubtless kinght31 also thinks he's planting "seeds of doubt" in your mind. I'm sure both of you have heard every argument from both sides a million times already. As someone who takes religion and spirituality seriously, these kinds of threads (which each side takes advantage of to attack the others' beliefs) just piss me off. |

What exactly is wrong about them? Lucifer was not created to temp people, he was created as an angel to serve God. He defied god and god kicked him out. some say he tried to take over heaven but that's seems like an exaggeration of what's in the bible. They talk about a war in the movie Dogma(good movie, I think you'd probably like it). There is absolutely no mention of hell or temptation in the passages bible scholars claim are talking about lucifer(I don't even see why they claim that these passages are talking about an angel at all). Most of the ideas behind Satan and hell are myths that have been accumulated over time. They are not a part of Christ's teachings or of the Jewish tradition those teachings come from. They come from folk religions that were incorporated into Christianity after it became an official religion of the Roman and other empires. (Did you know that easter (Ishtar) was originally a fertility holiday stolen from another religion). |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

1) This has absolutely no relevance. That's like an ancient Greek asking you how you fail to connect with Zeus. Clearly you can't connect with something that doesn't exist, I think we can both grasp that concept? So, logic aside, it's impossible for anyone to connect with your God due to the fact that he doesn't exist. Logic does, however, connect us to what is your concept of holy: That is, through moral reasoning human beings are capable of understanding wrong and right, good and bad, heroism and evil... This is how your false doctrines were created. |
