Religion is silly...

[Rope_boy]

After watching this, I come to question all that is religious; www.kkmime.com . Man, that's stupid?


Whole point of this is this though; Religion is teh s uck. Not just because of stupid crap like this, but because it gives people excuse to do these stupid things; Like the KK. They use religion as a means to carry out their wrong doing, and so forth. The towel heads in the Middle East mixed their religion with politics, and now look were we're all at? I just love it all...

Messed up teh link. Click it now fools.

[TheWizard]

I'm not religious at all so yeah its stupid to me.

[kolte]

I'm religious, but I'm not christian, or even really jewish, allthough i am. i'm also buddist, and their is no god with buddha.

[Rope_boy]

True, but there's also no meat that goes along with that religion. I will never give up steak for tofu or what ever the crap they eat. Not saying there's anything wrong with budist, other then that.

Fun Fact: One of India's largest export is Beef, ironicaly, to them, the cow is consider scared. Funny? I think so.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

religion is dumb lalallalalala

[redcar]

ok i havent go time but i wanna come back this, religion is not silly and i will give my many reasons latter, so dont say it is!

[Rope_boy]

Just to spite you, it is. But to say "silly" makes this sound more like a thrid grader wrote, but since I have no idea how you guys are about cursing/harsh language, I decieded to use it in a sarcastic way.

Also, religion is man made.

[nwshc]

Let the people believe what they want to believe. If they feel there is a higher power from above, let them believe it. I have no problem with it.

[Rope_boy]

Sure they have the right to believe what they want to believe, but they take it to far; Like the KK and the towel heads.

I'm not religious.

[Rope_boy]

That's a band...

Sheesh, I'd exspect a lot more opostion from eveyone this board becuase this thread is blasphomus in nature... Interesting.

[Ravenous]

It sure is, I love bad religion :D Fooken Mazing live :D

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

dude the only thing here thats blasphemous are your expectations that you dont think were meeting

[nwshc]

Sure they have the right to believe what they want to believe, but they take it to far; Like the KK and the towel heads.
Do you mean the KKK and 3% of Muslims?

[redcar]

religion gives people hope. religion lets people know that they are not alone, through all the hardships and suffering going on there is someone watching over them. it gives people something to believe in, so is that wat u would call silly?

[Anonymous]

Being religious, is faking your way through and just doing deeds that will make people around you happy. If your trying to be good and go to heaven, you must be spiritual!

[Whisper]

I'm not the slightest bit religous
There is no heaven
There is no hell
When you die the electrical impulses in your nervous system dissapate and your tissue decomposes


I'm not afraid of death
I dont need to belive that sum day i'll see rachel or my cousins, aunts, uncles, blah blah blah again
there dead
end of story

This whole god thing is a total load of crap



....Amen

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

^^ amen

[kolte]

I think that religion is a good thing to keep to yourself. if thats what makes you happy. but to go around forcing other people to believe you faild attempts of hope in the afterlife. thats just dumb. keep it to yourselfs FREAKS

[Jazbo]

I don't want to debate this, I just think the way the title was phrased was hilarious, "Religion is silly..." :lol: Funny stuff.

[nwshc]

.]Being religious is just doing deeds that will make people around you happy.
Is that in some way a bad thing?

[kolte]

for real, whats wrong with that

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

ya honestly lol

[nwshc]

Like, totaly dude :D

Its like, so like tubular!

[kolte]

word

[Kiros]

Religion's great, God's the only one for me.


Guess I'm the only one that will vote for that :P

I believe strongly in my religion, and I probably won't have a chance of leading anyone towards the right path unless I communicate with them in person, or at least in private, so I'm not even going to bother trying. Though if you want a few of my words, PM me anytime.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

ooo look finally a blind follower

[kevin]

wow, I'm surprised how many people are just making it sound like a fact that it's dumb, that's your opinon, don't say "it's dumb" when alot of people do beleive in it. For me it hasn't been my favorite thing but it's definetly helped me before.

[kevin]

uhhh, let's try to stay on target.

[kolte]

sorry, I do think that It's not right to undermine other people if they don't pratice your religion or follow your views, but religion itself is fine.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

yes i agree religion is dumb

[redcar]

so u think something that gives people hope is dumb?

[kolte]

yes

[redcar]

and why is that?

[serial-thrilla]

i dont think its dumb, it gives people something to belive in and it helps them improve themselves.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

its dumb because it has the potential of fueling hatrid. that and its dumb. people who need to believe in the impossible to find happiness are so pathetic they dont deserve it in the first place



heheh im in a good mood today :?

[Rope_boy]

Well, religion in essence is the belief and having "faith". Something not based on any factual evidence. The only way religion breeds hatred is when a radical comes around, and convinces a group of people that what they preech is just and right. Case and point; The Muslims. Sure, not all Muslims are, "terroist", they are but devout followers; I respect that. But then there are those out there, *cough* Osmama Bin Laden *cough*, who took an entire of young, foolish, and war tattered people, told them that if they killed Americans that they'd be offer enternal salvation and bliss; What kind of an ignorant person pass up an offer like this? Not saying all that follow his cuase are ignorant though. Their foot soliders, and those that do his bidding are the radicals. Radicalism can be seen as ignorance too, becuase they usualy exsibit total devotion to the religion, and do not accept anything else. They phsyce themselves up, and then blindly charge at Americans weilding only a $50 AK-47 and a hatered that fuels them to fight.

It's truly sad.

If we had "weeded" out all of these people 10 years ago, instead of leaving, we would most likely not fighting this war at all right now. But yeah...

People can have faith, and if the faith brings them happyness, then let it give them happyness. The radicals have no faith, only hatered and a false salvation.

... Towl heads... Sigh...

[Sapphire]

I resent religion because too many stupid twats use it as an excuse to blow each other up and shit like that.

I say I'm Christian to stop my dad having a go, but I don't follow any religion properly.

Christmas is my favourite time of year. Not because of the religious side of it, or the commerical side of it. But purely because it's the most joyous and the songs have the most uplifting affect on me.

[Rope_boy]

Indeed. Religion's used as an excuse for everything.

"I only cut that baby from that woman's womb because God told me to! I sware, it was not because I am crazy, but because God told me to!"

Or my personal favorite...

"God hates niggers..."

Yeah, if god loves everything, then how can he hate? Interesting, no?

On a side note, do not take my above quote as a symbol that I am a racist, because I'm not, it's just an observation; that's all.

Also, check my sig for another truth about God.

Oh yes, on the note of racism: We all have some in us, no matter how much we say we're not. To admit it is to control it.

[Elokyn]

I do believe in God...am I a good christian?...no...

pre-marital sex, pleasure, pride, even shame are all my cup of tea....(I re-read this...first part makes me sound like a slut haha .....I have sex with my boyfriend who I have been with for 7 months..thats the ONLY person..for the rest of forever)

Quite honestly I don't wanna look more into my religion because I'm afraid that I'll find out that I don't believe in God....and then what?...everything I've heard since I was born just dissapears.....I've been through loads of crap and something has helped me through it all..weather it be God or just good fortune....though it has gone through my head..where was God when I was being talked down to and beaten and raped....*shrugs*

Christians are like..the root of hypocricy (forgive my crappy ass spelling..I'm tired) My church is full of dicks...seriously..there's may be a handful of good people in that church..the rest are all too busy talking about everyone behind their backs to even realize that they're shitheads

[Rope_boy]

There is nothing wrong with what you do at all.

As long as you do these things you do not allow them to take over your life completely, then it's fine. I'll right out tell you all, I'm a sinner. I'm guitly of the worst "sins" in teh bible, does it make me a bad devil whroshiping hevan? No, no it does not. I am quite the contrary. I'm a good hearted person, always looking for the good in people, and I always do my best to make those around me feel good about themselves. I even put myself done around others so they can feel better about themselves. That's just me. I will sacerfice my own well being for others around me. I am not selfish, and I'm very patient when it comes to certain things. Point and case, I need glasses, but we don't have the money for them. Now I have been in dire need of them for the past year or so, have I complained about not having them? No. Though I have asked plenty of times, "When am I going to get glasses?", I do understand that money is tight. Unfourtently though, my sister does not understand this one bit. She does not even realize how money works in this country, and is always bitching, "Why can't we get a new car instead of driving around in this crappy looking Handia that get 30 miles to the gallon in the city, but still looks like shit? Why can't we get a hummer!". Yeah...

My point is this, it does not matter at all what religion you are, you can still be a good person with out it. I am the example of this.

[nwshc]

Ya right. please, kid.

[Rope_boy]

I really am a good person, I just hate everyone who complains about their problems on the internet.

[nwshc]

And I hate people who make fun of cutters, make fun of respected members, are ignorant, and are douche bags.
YOU

[Rope_boy]

*Sobs uncontrollablely*

I... I... I only... I only wanted people to like me. I mean sure, I'm an ass hole, but deep down I'm just an unsecured little boy who feels it nessacary to make fun of those in a much worse postion then I am. I can't controll myself. I... I just take things way to far. I'm sorry!

*Sobs some more uncontrollablely*

[nwshc]

You butter be sorry.

[Rope_boy]

Actually, I am... I don't know why I'm such a jack fuck; I guess it's just who I am. I live to spite, to annoy, and to over all, offend everyone I meet on the internet.

I take my sarcasim way to far, and for that it makes me look like a fucking moron; to which I do not deny, because I am.

Enough of this though... *cough* back to teh subject, no? *cough*

Aw, I love you to mister psdue-poet. No really I do. Your words fill my heart with warmth, and knowing you're there gives me a certain joy.

*Puts a smile on like when those bears whipe their asses with Charem Ultra(TM)*

[Φρανκομβριτ]

those arent fair options. Its basically yes no sort of. Religion is a very complicated and controvercial isue that can't be spoken of in 1 or 2 simple adjectives. I mean, I think whatever floats your boat, but some countries are run and devided upon it. Personally, I'm buhdest, but if you're cristian or catholic or jewish or hindu or w/e that is fine. You have a belief in something, that's great. Just please, don't force your opinion on someoen else

[Rope_boy]

I was never forcing on anyone. I was pointing out certain details, listing what I did not like about them, and promoted that others do likewise.

And as far as all the other polls I've seen in debate, mine's a little more choicy, since all the others are just simple "yes, no" answer, hell I didn't think they were that limited, were they?

[redcar]

omg i absolutly hate people who try and force religion on ya like those jehova witnesses (i know its not how u spell it i just couldnt be arsed trying to find the rite spelling!) they always com eto my door early in the morning giving me these leaflets and aking me do i wan to go to a meeting, so i am like fuck off dont be coming to me at this time odf day with your shite! sorry they just really get on my nerves

[kolte]

well, even though I'm jewish by blood, I pratice buddism more then jewdism. And its a really great way to live. I'm at peace, finally, with the world around me. I feel awake to the world, like a new person. And I'm allot more calm, and kind to others.

[Guy_under_jacket]

its dumb because it has the potential of fueling hatrid. that and its dumb. people who need to believe in the impossible to find happiness are so pathetic they dont deserve it in the first place



heheh im in a good mood today :?

Yet without religion, crime rates would be sky high, morals would be a thing of the past and people would be less charitable causing poverty to strife.

Yes religion produces fanatics that have distorted thir religion and following a cause which is not justified in their faith, but because theyre deluded i.e Osama bin Laaden, Hitler and the Popes who led the crusades.

[kolte]

yes, you can

your ugliness was uncalled for othello

[kolte]

I'm sorry. I didn't know that I caused you such pain, that you couldn't help but belittle me. I don't know why you feel that you have to be so rude, but honstly, I'll try to look more pretty so we can avoid this conflict in the future.

[teencrazykid]

your ugliness was uncalled for othello
NOW do people see wtf I'm talking about???????

[teencrazykid]

Your such a fucking idiot

Really uncalled for; everyone is entitled to their own opinions

[nullandvoid123]

i believe in god, but im an idealist, which if you didnt know means that i believe in evolution. god created the first creatures that evolved into humans. im kinda skeptical on the whole hevean/hell thing. i think its possible... but i dunno

[kolte]

I'm not brave enough to accept that when I die their is nothing. other wise my life is usless, and my death would be for nothing. when I die, somting happens, that cant just be it, i refuse to believe that. Its to scary

[Whisper]

For all you know you've died and this is hell

------

As far as i'm concerned when I die my nervous system wil shut down my body will be burned and the electrical impulses in my brain will dissipate

Matter and energy cannot be destroyed
only changed

i'm betting
Ashes n heat

I'm not afraid of death

[serial-thrilla]

i dont see why the fuck all you people are so ignorant towards religion. its ok to be opinionated but you dont need to resort to name calling like little children.

Just please, don't force your opinion on someoen else Absolutly true thats what i think religion is somthing to keep to your self and indeed i really couldnt truthfully answer any of those poll questions, I believe in a higher power but it doesnt make up my entire life. believe whatever you want just dont enforce it on people.

[Spifyrifical14]

No offence intended to anyone but i believe this is a useless topic to debate. It gives no answers and creates only argument. Debating it helps no-one niether side can ever hope to win. its absolutly pointless. You must all realize this. no good whatsoever can come from it.

Umm, :confused: this topic is like from October :P that's like 8 months!! n.n I think Cody's nicer now. Then again, I haven't seen very many of his posts =\ No offence or anything at all.

[redcar]

out of curiosity why did you bring back a thread that was like dead a month before you joined?

Why are you even a MOD?
i think i can answer that, because he is one of the best members VT has.

ok now that this thread is dead and we have established that Cody is awesome i think this should be locked.

anyone object PM me!:)
