I believe he was saying that Christianity doesn't cause the world any problems (and I agree). He's not trying to prove that god exists.henrikmain said:A tad arrogant, are we? It's simply something that you cannot know, as you cannot give any proof. I'm alright with you being a Christian and all, but you BELIEVE, you don't know. Noone knows. Noone can give proof of God's existence. Noone can give proof of the opposite either.
Ever stopped to think that the Christian moral values may be a main cause for the mindless herding which is causing humans to destroy their own planet?NocturnalSun said:and speaking of Christianity being the bad religion that harms the world...
The pope just recently (this week) held a concert with a massive choir composed of hundreds of people. The good thing? They brought in Jews, Muslims, Christians, and a few others I can't remember to fill the ranks of the choir. Along with that, they had various religious leaders on hand to represent the groups. All were at peace with each other and got along quite well. The choir also performed superbly and, musically speaking, a choir cannot perform to their fullest unless the members are at peace with each other and have good relations. look for the article to come out on CNN sometime soon or another news station, as this is really new news. I just saw the section tonight on the evening news.
Still think Christians are the bad guys?

Need more? search on basically anything dealing with the pope and Christianity on CNN and you will be greeted with endless articles of the good things and strides Christianity has taken to make and promote peace.
Maybe if you stepped outside your Christian mode of thinking for a couple of minutes and actually thought about it you wouldn't be so sure that's not the case.Post_Scriptum said:Oh yeah, Christians are the reason why we're poluting the earth. Good job my friend
If humans destroy their own planet its their own damn fault. A lot of people are stupid by nature and they take every excuse possible to do stupid things. It's about time that people take responsibility on their own actions and not blame a religion. Christianity is supposed to be a good thing, but a lot of mindfucked people use religion to give validity to their actions.Guardian of Darkness said:Ever stopped to think that the Christian moral values may be a main cause for the mindless herding which is causing humans to destroy their own planet?
I'd have to disagree again. Choice is an illusion, we're all products of genetics and environmental experience. You were always going to choose the things you choose.Yes, he did give us the earth, however he also granted us a thing called FREE WILL. You can either CHOOSE to do good or CHOOSE to to bad. Choose to do bad without repenting, well you know the consequences... But choose to do good and have a deeper understanding of the faith.
You're backing up my statement, freedom is an illusion created because those with power want more control. But true freedom is attainable.And as far as freedom goes, isn't all freedom an illusion anyway? there's no infinite freedom anywhere, there's always restrictions to go along with them. Freedom is an illusion made by those with power to try and keep those under them from getting out of hand.
Humans fucked up when they created God.Christianity may have a big impact on the wester world, but you still missed by point a good few times. It is not the fault of the religion, it is the fault of the human. Humans can fuck up. We can erre, that's the whole deal with being a human. You get this earth and everything on it and you even get free will tossed into the deal, but you have the ability to not use it right and stray from the path of good. That's the whole thing. Christianity does not cause humans to go to war. Humans cause humans to go to war. Don't you see? eh... I really don't know why I'm still here explaining this to you because you won't hear a word I'm saying because you nailed your damn ears shut to anything good about Christianity...
Oh come on, the main reason humans are self-destructive is the world they were born into.Ultimate_Symphony said:If humans destroy their own planet its their own damn fault.

And your point is?Guardian of Darkness said:Oh come on, the main reason humans are self-destructive is the world they were born into.
My point is that unless something changes, the human race is going to dig itself and everything into a hole too deep to get out of (if it hasn't already).Ultimate_Symphony said:And your point is?
