I'm thinking about joining Christianity, should I? - General

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;19169646]Because a person died from it.[/QUOTE] How about tobacco and liquor then? :smug:

[QUOTE=bigdan;19169678]No, that would be like banning cars because someone ran it front of it.[/QUOTE] no, but im pretty sure you're not allowed to run in front of moving cars

[QUOTE=bigdan;19169678]No, that would be like banning cars because someone ran it front of it.[/QUOTE] A car is a useful method of transport. [QUOTE=voodooattack;19169703]How about tobacco and liquor then? :smug:[/QUOTE] Those are an asset to the economy. Beastiality provides no benefit and can lead to getting fucked to death be a horse.

[QUOTE=Klammyxxl;19169683]I'm hating all of these Atheist stating that Christianity is a by the book practice. Christianity is never the same for anyone. It's all based on your point of view. For example, a rather "traditional" Christian will believe that getting a tattoo is work of the devil, while a "laid back" Christian won't have any problems with it. If you find something as wrong, it's wrong, and if you find something as right, it's right (In most cases).[/QUOTE] They all still believe a lot of the same shit.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;19169679]What the shit does believing in God have to do with Christmas?[/QUOTE] Because it celebrates the birth of fucking Jesus :downs:

[QUOTE=KestasLT;19169724]Because it celebrates the birth of fucking Jesus :downs:[/QUOTE] hardly anymore

[QUOTE=KestasLT;19169724]Because it celebrates the birth of fucking Jesus :downs:[/QUOTE] More like the Pagan holiday.

I don't remember the names of the people but after watching "The Atheism Tapes". Here's a quote I remember that I liked. This isn't exact but w/e. [quote=]Proof God doesn't exist. People proclaim God is perfect in every way. If hes perfect then he obviously would have the trait of existence, the ability to exist. Because for something to be even more perfect, it'd logically have to exist. But perfection is supposed to be the most perfect of all. But how can we perceive what perfection is? It's like saying "This is the most perfect apple I have ever eaten", how are we not sure that there is not a more perfect apple? We can't be sure, that's way we can't grasp the concept of perfection. So how would we really know what perfection is? We couldn't understand it, so how would we know if God is perfect enough to have the trait of existence, if we couldn't even perceive perfection?[/quote] It was something along those lines. And also here's a point. Any religion that claims to have a omnipotent God (i.e. Christianity) is just a way of say "Just because I don't know something, and am too lazy to take the millions of decades to learn and understand it, and I'm too scared to say 'I don't know', I'll just say hey, it's too much thinking, so clearly it's the work of a God". I'm referring to know why we exist ---^

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;19169713]A car is a useful method of transport. Those have good monotary value and are an asset to the economy. Beastiality provides no benefit and can lead to getting fucked to death be a horse.[/QUOTE] One person, i still dont think that is the reason, because after all there are many more things that cause death such as tobacco.

[QUOTE=KestasLT;19169724]Because it celebrates the birth of fucking Jesus :downs:[/QUOTE] And that made it fun?

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;19169749]And that made it fun?[/QUOTE] Yes belevieng in something paranormal and believing that it's no ordinary day was fucking fun and atmospheric Also, for all of you who say it's a pagan holiday, read up [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas[/url]

[QUOTE=bigdan;19169748]One person, i still dont think that is the reason, because after all there are many more things that cause death such as tobacco.[/QUOTE] There were probably a lot more deaths and disease issues but the guy getting fucked to death by a horse changed the mind of a state.

[QUOTE=Scoooooby;19169745] And also here's a point.

[QUOTE=<VET>Jasper;19169770]yeah but you see we had this thing called the enlightenment a few hundred years ago[/QUOTE] You suggest the renaissance is the pinacle of knowledge and all questions which the church answers "god did it" will remain that way?

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;19169713] Those are an asset to the economy. [/QUOTE] Economical assets that still kill millions more than bestiality would ever do. [QUOTE=Carbon Knight;19169713]Beastiality provides no benefit and can lead to getting fucked to death be a horse.[/QUOTE] Darwin awards, Natural Selection, etc. Your're going wrong about this argument, which should be about the rights of the animal, not the safety of the offender.

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;19169769]There were probably a lot more deaths and disease issues but the guy getting fucked to death by a horse changed the mind of a state.[/QUOTE] So? Homosexuality makes alot of diseases , i got nothing against gays but i thought i would put it out there.

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;19169791]You suggest the renaissance is the pinacle of knowledge and all questions which the church answers "god did it" will remain that way?[/QUOTE] no, but they certainly cleared up alot [editline]02:48AM[/editline] [QUOTE=bigdan;19169799]Homosexuality makes alot of diseases[/QUOTE] wutte

So yeah OP, go for believing in God, heck, it stoped me from stealing stuff, and it made my christmas about 2 times more fun When i used to believe in him :sigh:

[QUOTE=<VET>Jasper;19169770]yeah but you see we had this thing called the enlightenment a few hundred years ago[/QUOTE] Yeah, but there are still lingering questions that a Christian would ask, and we'd come up empty-handed. So we still don't know many things, but that doesn't mean we should all give up and assume some magical God created it.

[QUOTE=bigdan;19169799]So? Homosexuality makes alot of diseases , i got nothing against gays but i thought i would put it out there.[/QUOTE] Homosexuality spreads just as many diseases as Heterosexuality. [QUOTE=bigdan;19169799]i got nothing against gays but i thought i would put it out there.[/QUOTE] That's always a good line. "I am not a homophobe but..."

[QUOTE=bigdan;19169799]So? Homosexuality makes alot of diseases , i got nothing against gays but i thought i would put it out there.[/QUOTE] No it doesn't. It helps spread it, but it didn't originate from it.

The OP is a very, very clever troll degrading all of you, atheists or christian, into bickering toddlers. i applaud you. unless you are seriously stupid enough to go to the internet for spiritual advice.

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;19169830] That's always a good line. "I am not a homophobe but..." ?[/QUOTE] Everyone fucking says that, I can't stand it. Stupid people I swear, it's such a "cool" thing to harass homosexuals and call people faggots. It's completely ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Nerdrage;19169855]The OP is a very, very clever troll degrading all of you, atheists or christian, into bickering toddlers. i applaud you. unless you are seriously stupid enough to go to the internet for spiritual advice.[/QUOTE] no i just have nothing better to do at 3 in the morning besides sleep

Hey. If you believe in god and want to become a Christan go for it but please for the love of god do not ask the internet.

[QUOTE=Nerdrage;19169855]The OP is a very, very clever troll degrading all of you, atheists or christian, into bickering toddlers. i applaud you. unless you are seriously stupid enough to go to the internet for spiritual advice.[/QUOTE] This is true. When I read the title, it sounds innocent, but everyone, even the OP, knew the hell it would create.

[QUOTE=KestasLT;19169724]Because it celebrates the birth of fucking Jesus :downs:[/QUOTE] Oh that's what it was for... I celebrate presents.

Well OP, if you believe in God and such, then I really don't see what is stopping you from becoming a Christian; you pretty much are one already. Unless you mean joining the Catholic Church, in which case you can go to freely and join, and can be baptized there. Then there's all the things like Confirmation and whatnot, but for the most part you just need to get baptized. Now I know most of FacePunch is atheist (and 13, and "communist", and, well, you get the idea), and will tell you bullshit about stereotypical Christians who beat their children and whatnot (you know, the ones they put on the news, so everyone is, right?), but for the most part, the Christian community is very kind and giving. Don't feel intimidated to join a church or attend mass. But that's just me. Your call. [quote]Hey. If you believe in god and want to become a Christan go for it but please for the love of god do not ask the internet. [/quote] And this.
