Samurai136 0 #26 November 18, 2003 My response: "Uh, I think your soul may be in peril because of the physical temptations I keep around me. Obviously YOU feel temptation. I, on the other hand, experience no temptation. I would like to pray for your soul, is that ok with you?"

souleh 0 #28 November 18, 2003 QuoteThe story of Adam and Eve backs this up. That's just it - it's a story. Invented by monks in whatever early century to help explain how to live good lives to their local 'believers'. That's what make me not believe in any of the bible as such - they are stories that present ideals for how humans should live, made by humans - not the 'word of God' or anything like that. In its time it was good, but a lot of it - while still applies - is less accurate towards today's beliefs and standards.

AggieDave 6 #29 November 18, 2003 Quotemade by humans - not the 'word of God' That's where the arguement of faith is invovled. There are a lot of scriptures that explain this. I'm not going to go into it here, but here's the basic idea. The Bible is the word of God, written for God by men who were directed by God. With out that basic belief, there is no faith and the entire Christian religion would crumble.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AndyMan 7 #30 November 18, 2003 This isn't about Christianity, we all know that this chick is not a representation of maintstream christian thought. It IS about someone who's allowing her personal beliefs and personal sense of morality affect the relationships she has with her friends. I have a good many friends from all religions, and somehow we not only respect each others beliefs, but manage to get along pretty well while doing so. Your friend needs a lesson in what is an appropriate way to treat people she thinks are her friends. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

AggieDave 6 #35 November 18, 2003 Basically, we dated for 3 years, after the first month or two she toned down the "you're going to hell because you're not mormon" thing, especially since I tell her she's going to hell for being in a cult. Overall, it worked out, turned out she wasn't the "good mormon" everyone thought she was. Eitherway, she cheated on me (after 3 years!) so I ended it and walked away. She's now married to some random mormon guy, they're probably happy, doing their little cult thing and raising 400 children.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

wildblue 7 #37 November 18, 2003 Dude, she's trying to pick you up. Did she ask if you wanted to go to church with her sometime? Maybe she wants to be your savior, just go with it. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #38 November 18, 2003 Oh, and as I just posted...its the "super-religious" girls you've got to watch for. Under that shell is a hard-core sex beast wanting to break out. The mormon girl I dated ended up really being into bondage, porn and having a LOT of sex. Although to everyone who knew her, she was a hard-core mormon.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #39 November 18, 2003 I go to Church just about every weekend, my kids go to parochial school, yada, yada. I have also enjoy taking pictures of big naked skydives and being on topless beaches in Europe. I kind of expect to meet God someday, and have him say "JP, do you remember looking at the naked woman at sunset when you were in Tahiti with your wife?" And I'll reply "Hell, yes, God. That was some nice work!" Some people are naturally at war with their natures. They are people who see something different than people who are not at war with their natures. I will see a 18th century sailing ship and think "Golly, the knowledge of ropes and knots those guys had!" and another person will think of new ways to conduct autoerotic asphyxiation. So, some folks can't resist temptation, and your pictures cause them pain. Like a recovering alcoholic around a tapped keg. I try to be understanding of such folks, and socialize with them in environments they are comfortable in. As to organized religion, the statistics say we live longer, healthier, wealthier lives, and our kids get into less trouble both in childhood and as adults. So even if there is no God, I've got that going for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbrown 26 #45 November 18, 2003 That's just it - it's a story. Invented by monks in whatever early century to help explain how to live good lives to their local 'believers'. Then their was the old monk who worked translating the oldest scriptures. One day he broke down weeping. The other monks all asked him what was the matter. "The correct word", the old monk said, "is celebrate..." I'm on indefinite hiatus from church. First of all I grew up Catholic, which really fucked me up. Then I went for the Pentacostal thing and finally decompressed with the Episcopalians to the point I felt free to walk away from it altogether. The biggest problem with all of them is that they lure you in with talk about God's love and freedom, abundant life, and blah, blah. Then they get all over your shit about fish on Friday, tithing, and pictures of bikini girls in your bedroom. The faithful Christian response to church girl would be a.) Jesus died for your sins, and b.) he also said something about judging not, lest you be judged. I'd then invite her to either drop trou or get the hell out of my bedroom.

Nightingale 0 #48 November 18, 2003 as an aside: pentacle and pentagram are basically interchangable terms for a five pointed star within a circle. however, since the satanists use one that's inverted and the term pentagram, the pagans, who mostly use a right side up version, call it a pentacle to diferentiate. the satanists stole the symbology from the pagans, and the symbol itself has nothing to do with satan.
