kevin wrote ... Yes. Missionaries do that. Many religions go around spreading their religion including Christianity, and I think it's a load of crap (forcing or spreading religion; It should be a choice). Your "teacher" is a bullshit artist, why do you think he is "teaching" you?
He defines Relativism as this: "The ethical philosophy which holds that there are no moral rules that apply to all cultures or all people in one culture and that no country or person should "impose" their (or his) moral rules on any culture or person" Isn't that what Christianity/Catholicism has done throughout history? trying to impose their beliefs, say, on the Indians and in the process whiping out 20 million of them? Isn't that hypocritical? To say that you try to understand people, yet force your beliefs on them? |

So missionaries can spread religion and the person who becomes religious has no choice? So are you saying its like a disease, or missionaries can spread religion like butter over bread. If they can do that then you are declaring people to be a bunch of retards who can't make decisions for them selves loLOLOLOL. | ||

Compost wrote ... I said forcing or spreading. A person should go to the church and ask to convert, not have a missionary go to them and say "this is the bible, this is the word of god" and convince them to convert. It should be pure choice. Forcing would be saying "this is the word of god. Believe it or die" which happened in the past. So missionaries can spread religion and the person who becomes religious has no choice? So are you saying its like a disease, or missionaries can spread religion like butter over bread. If they can do that then you are declaring people to be a bunch of retards who can't make decisions for them selves loLOLOLOL. Anything else I must clarify for you? |

im not a christian, but I have lots of them that are friends. and one of them is a big idol of mine, and he says this: "In my life... all ive ever known is the word of God. Its saved me, its given me 4 beautiful children, a hot smoking wife, a house to fit everything amazing in my life, and the power to do what needs to be done in the world that 1000 people are needed to do, but I am placed in that position. Its not forcing the word of God on anyone, its basically saying this, my life is so extraordinary with the Lord helping me, I want you to see how much it helps me, and see if ever lasting life is in your budget you call 'life'. God gave you everything, and in my case he just keeps giving me the great blessing he gives. Its like getting a really amazing video game, and not telling your buddies about it. Its not saying you HAVE to go buy the game, its saying, Ive played it, I've loved it, you should try it out and see if its your thing as well." |

well i ain't bashing anything or ANYTHING like that but im not a religious person i dont beleive in any religion. i beleive in whats real and whats not real! meaning if a big guy came down from the sky saying he created everything i would bow down. but so far theres absolutly no solid proof of the big guy. i dont beleive in heaven or hell either i beleive that when you die. NOBODY knows what happens next. honestly there rly could be a heaven and hell. but nobody really knows knows. | ||

I'm going to go ahead and step out on a limb here. I'll probably get flamed a lot, but I really, REALLY can't stand the Catholic religion. I am a Christian myself but I do not go to church. I just basically keep my faith and try to be a great person. But the whole reason I hate Catholics is basically because they are a money making business. The place in Rome (Can't think of it off of the top of my head right now) is literally the top richest territory in the world. They consider themselves a separate nation there. But because of the money they bring in from people in churches they are so rich. They keep the money from themselves which is why they are so rich. Fuck that shit. Just a bunch of money making bullshit. Not only that I think it was Pope IX or IV or something around there, but they have him as one of the top 10 Entrepreneurs simply because of that reason. Not only that, he is the first person to okay a whore house. Imagine that, a person that supposed to be faithful and the leader of the catholic nation okay'ing a whorehouse? What the fuck is this shit? I hate to flame other religions as mine gets flamed as well, but people believe what they want to believe and I believe what I want to believe. The whole Pope thing is historical facts, and I am not making that shit up. The catholic religion really does piss me off. And for the record, if anyone is religious, please, do NOT fucking force your beliefs on anyone else. That is the whole reason people are against religion other than personal belief. I think it's bullshit that people would go around and force that on people. Believe what you want and people will not hate you. It's their ass, not yours. |
