I've found my calling

:mad:

Do you think Jesus had potatoes?

I don't really care. Salvation doesn't need to be quantified or dogmatic. Jesus as a synonym for God, as Synonym for Dao, as a synonym for something, I'm fine with. Why call your self "Christian"? Why buy into that?

I hope the collective hope and self guilt that anthropomorphises into Jesus had potatoes. I love potatoes.

I was hoping to avoid a debate (it's never been my strong point), so I'll leave it at this. I "buy" into Christianity foremost because while people see the Bible and teachings as spiritual stories, a giant parable, there's a lot of scientific truth behind it, the "Universal" flood, human creation, OLD EARTH creation as a whole, etc. I'm not a big fan of the mooshy salvation, love-thy-neighbor stuff, but I try to act appropriately because if the first chunk of the Bible is scientifically sound, then shouldn't the second half have merit...

Ugh, who knows if that makes sense. And I know there'll be the classic responses. But there you have it. :wave:
 
you know i learned today that charles manson once attended scientology courses, and even he was sane enough to realize their bullshit.

that's saying something
 
On the topic of Scientology:

According to L. Ron Hubbard Jr. (son of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology),

[his] father thought of himself as the Beast 666 incarnate...Aleister Crowley thought of himself as such. And when Crowley died in 1947, my father then decided that he should wear the cloak of the beast and become the most powerful being in the universe... Satanism. There was no other religion in the house!
Scientology and black magic. What a lot of people don't realize is that Scientology is black magic that is just spread out over a long time period. To perform black magic generally takes a few hours or, at most, a few weeks. But in Scientology it's stretched out over a lifetime, and so you don't see it. Black magic is the inner core of Scientology --and it is probably the only part of Scientology that really works.
Also, you've got to realize that my father did not worship Satan. He thought he was Satan. He was one with Satan. He had a direct pipeline of communication and power with him. My father wouldn't have worshiped anything. I mean, when you think you're the most powerful being in the universe, you have no respect for anything, let alone worship.

Have you ever actually READ the old testament?
 
Yes, and ya know, people all of a sudden started speaking hundreds of different languages because God got pissed off with humans for trying to build structures to heaven.
 
Don't forget that they have scientific proof of that there ark existing... Was totally big enough to fit all those animals on it, along with food for them and other various supplies. And they totally didn't get sick from drinking flood water.
 
For a bunch of people who stake their claim against Christianity for their methods of spreading the religion's beliefs you sure are imposing your anti-beliefs on that Jace Mereel twat pretty hard. Go ahead and crush her self stability and reliance on her convictions; I'll giggle a tad and think it's rather funny. At least, though, realize the hypocrisy, and that right now you're no better than the Bible toting fanatics you preach against.
 
Not preaching, just questioning the statement of someone calling the Old Testament scientifically sound.

There's a big difference between the 2.
 
Don't backpedal and make excuses. You're main objective was making her question what she believes through witty questioning whether you realize it or not. Shame on you.

Not at all...

As I said, theres a big difference between trying to make someone question what they believe, and question the idea that they believe the concepts of the old testament to be true. I could give a shit less what she believes, I'm just curious as to how science has proven the old testament. And the question isn't very witty. Witty would have been more like:

"Yeah, that science alright... they actually dug into the ground and found an age old picture of Adam and Eve:
