SKOOFx is right. Jesus, with his long hair and no job, was the first hippie on the planet. Roaming round with his lazy mates telling people to be nice to each other. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.

Britain is nicely non-religious, it suits me very well.

Pat Robertson is probably one of the dumbest people on the planet. He should get a gig with Paris Hilton. Bible beating with Paris Hilton... now that's funny.

No offense Slash but that is an ignorant statement.. I am not a Christian but I will defend them in this instance. Just because you are a "Christian" does not mean that you are or supposed to be perfect or not prone to the pleasures of man. Thats like saying if your a Satanist you kill babies and slaughter lambs to sacrifice its just dumb. I personally have never met anyone who is perfect have you? When you do please let me know. I guess what your saying is that if you dont claim you are a Christian it is ok to act like an asshole and indulge??? But if you say you are a Christian and you do these things you are a biggot?

..if you say you'r a Christian you shall follow the bible..its that "easy"...if you dont do that ..you are per definition a sinner and a hypocrite...I have not made the rules .....
......and the rules are/was made to keep up the system which in this case are Christianity ........

I couldn't have said it better myself :) I agree wholeheartedly.

Dumbest statement ive ever heard.
(Especially since the majority of France is christian... )
I hate how Americans use "If you dont like it , move to france" as a defense.

<rolls eyes>

And lemme tell you, France is one of the best countries in the world, with some of the most educated people.

MM, have you been? If yes, then i wonder what kind of experience youve had(maybe your the "ugly american". But if you havent, how can you use that as a reply to this comical thread?

Now this right here is something I've been waiting to hear for a long time. Thanks Posher778. That is sorta like the fact that my girlfriend is christian and I'm not(shhhhh!), but her mom is also christian, and she is shall we say....... as you said..... Insane. If her mom knew that I was goth, she'd have a heart attack because I'm not a "super christian"(no offense if you are). But oddly enough, my gf likes the fact that I'm a goth. So I'm cool with it.

The best way to sum up your post is..... Don't judge people.

Wow..... That's like the longest post I've ever typed on here..... interesting....:cool:

An awful lot of wannabe radicals shouting about aetheism often go and ruin it by adding, carefully... "but I'm sure there is something out there/reason for being here/purpose to life" (delete as applicable).

Whimsical lightweights are scared to believe our inane existence is nothing more than what it is.

The need for there to be more than ourselves suggests mass feelings of inadequacy.

:cool:

in the words of Jesus1.0 "woot woot"

Hammerfan, true spirituality never hurt anybody; isn't that right, girl?;) :)

As you know, I live in the Southeastern US, a.k.a The Bible Belt. Guess what religion my whole family follows except for me and my bro, who is atheist...

These family members, including my parents, are always going on about: What's your religion done for you (to me)? Is that not the biggest bullshit question not to mention LOADED question in the world?
