You ignorant human!
You don't even know your own creator? Who blinded you ?

Yea...I tell you, He created you , but you rejected Him.

Yet He still loves you and wants you to come back to Him.

BTW: all presidents are below Him, and one will give an account for all wickedness they have done...

oh... terribly sorry... but I never saw him till today... blink.gif
I mean, he never came to my birthday or any thing...
I thought my father crated me, not god... what a funny name is god any way...
Oh, emm... psioni, I don't know you in person, so how do you know that god created me...
And its not true I rejected him, how can I reject someone I never met ??!! Haaa?? mad.gif
And wow, so I guess you must be a real important person, to have that god guy as a personal acquaintance...
Uhh... do tell, what does he look like?
He sounds like a tall guy...

Even the guy who runs the book club? Well I guess I will have to change religions if this "god " is so narrow minded he wants to punish the president of the book club. Now lets see *search google for new and improved gods*

Will take suggestions if you feel your god is better than this god...

So you mean like if I look at a hot babe in playboy versus some old guy on the street?
So like the same empirical time can actually be short or long depending on what I am looking at?
Is that what you're saying?
This is some real deep philosophical shit...

EDIT: So to put things it perspective, what were you looking at then?

OK, so now that we have flattened the snow, let's mush those religious huskies.

Question (I guess to TT-er "Space"):

Let's assume that the Bible has some level of credibility, if not in its entireity, than partially. And that lots of messages therein could be applicable to many.

Not to sound like a "pick-and-chooser", but isn't it ok to follow parts of the Bible but not other parts? (There are definitely other parts of this question, but let's go in stages, shall we?)

One has no chance to be an entirety follower. A lot of the books of the bible were censored. Thrown out, destroyed. So it is not possible IMHO to follow it in it's entirety.
The absorption of the pagan religions and superstitions into Christianity made this apparently a necessity for regional control of the people as opposed to a local control.
Hope this helps.
take care,
space

Psioni, I must commend you. You're English has gotten markedly better than when you first joined this forum, you're even using slang just like a native English speaker.

You must be a really fast learner wink.gif

To Note:

I was going to edit the rant near the beginning of this thread, but upon re-examination, it is a fair summary of the "conversation" had the night before.

Hey people! If you are going to be gay, be proud of it! It's your choice (OK, in my opinion). Live with your choice and be glad about it!

Ah yes. The words of a man who has a SERIOUS problem with the subject of homosexuality. If you feel the need to tell all that you have no problem with gay people in such a form then you really do.
Tomasino
That's not true.

Perhaps is is just great to reconfirm it to oneself by repeating it publicly.

I did have a pretty religious upbringing.

Kind of wondering what you may recognize as a SERIOUS problem though.

Care to enlighten? I would love to sort this out pronto if you see something I don't.

Thanks.
Crawlie
Well you were brought up to despise gays and now you have this huge guilt trip, so you are trying desperately to ensure that everybody knows this.

I can picture it now. You are out and about at the Love Parade and blokes come up and say hello. Do you ask them if they are gay and say things like - "Hey. Are you Gay? I am not but I am totally OK with the fact that you areand think it is so great and normal.. Peace out bro but do your disgusting stuff in front of my son and I will kill you.. Oh sorry... Forgot my manners there... Carry on. I am feeling soooo liberated and free"

So lets continue shall we?

QUOTE
I honestly don't think people are born gay or straight, they just develop a desire and then go with it.
OK. Would love to know how you come to believe that but OK. But here you made your big mistake:

QUOTE
I attend the Love Parade, but like hell I would take my kids. Not everyone is used to same-sexers smootching for example.

Why not take your kids? Ah yes. Because they were born "normal" and you do not want them to think that that kind of behaviour is normal and consider turning to the dark side...

QUOTE
I'm not saying don't kiss, just be cool and aware of different strata and cultures. Thank goodness there is a love parade. What a relief! (And a release).

No. You will let them do whatever they want as long as it is well away from you as you find it quite unpleasant and your kids may see...

Need any more evidence?

Matthias: Look, I don't think it should be a sin, just for saying "Jehovah".
[Everyone gasps]
Jewish Official: You're only making it worse for yourself!
Matthias: Making it worse? How can it be worse? Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!
Jewish Official: I'm warning you! If you say "Jehovah" one more time (gets hit with rock) RIGHT! Who did that? Come on, who did it?
Stoners: She did! She did! (suddenly speaking as men) He! He did! He!
Jewish Official: Was it you?
Stoner: Yes.
Jewish Official: Right...
Stoner: Well you did say "Jehovah. "
[Crowd throws rocks at the stoner]
Jewish Official: STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! STOP IT! All right, no one is to stone _anyone_ until I blow this whistle. Even... and I want to make this absolutely clear... even if they do say, "Jehovah. "

oh good, a gay debate... meaning an argument only gay people can win because anyone straight is obviously fighting some freudian desire to hump someone of the same sex whatever they say...snore...
Tomasino
Geez I can't believe I am possibly being placed in some intolerance pigeon hole about this.

If there were hetero parades, and a guy and a girl wearing only tangas and doing the very violent and passionate big-open-mouth-big-tongue type kisses, I wouldn't take my kids to see that either.

Hetero parades usually involve floats and bands and Gene Autrey or Will Rogers or so (wait, are they the same guy?)

I think its very easy to pick and choose the parts you want to follow, but I really believe we are supposed to follow the bible in its entirety - this, however, is extremely difficult! I find that a lot of Christians are very hypocritical and most follow the bits of the bible which they find easiest!
theLSB
QUOTE

Why?
I mean why follow the bible and not harry potter?
Or the Mormon book, or the koran or <insert your fav. book here>?
I mean that Mormon guy who wrote that book claimed what ever he claimed, and lots of people believed him just because he said so, and so it is with the bible too.
Its beyond me why people in this day and age, still believe the bible to be true( I mean all whats related to non historical events, which even these are proven to be manipulated by the time of writing and the person who wrote them ).
Its proven and shown that some historical events appear more then once in the bible with various twists every time they are mentioned, to accommodate the context in which they were inserted in.
Any thing that you believe in that you don't KNOW FOR A FACT (that means that you have empirical facts to prove its existence) is nothing more than a believe, that in no way can be treated as a factual fact.
So if you like to believe the bible, go ahead be my guest.
If you have an intellectual desire to debate it, that fine too.
What I find quite annoying however is people who preach it as if it was a fact, and on top of that, try to force others to live according to their interpretation of that non factual book/belief.
