we knew for certain whether or not one religion was true. If there was one religion that was true, we could all get on with worshipping the same god, and have less reason to fight and less reason to be divided.

What do you guys think?


this random thought was brought to you by Seph ^_^

I guess thats kinda obvious. Its what pretty much every theologist has been trying to prove for centuries.

The problem doesn't come from having multiple faiths..it comes from those not willing to allow others the priviledge of experiencing the Devine in their own way, time, and place...I as a Pagan...am perfectly willing to let the Christian believe that a poor Jewish carpenter who ran afoul of Jewish politics and Roman Law is the savior..just so they don't interfere with my belief in Grandfather Creator.

unfortunately, the christian faith cannot allow that. They believe that anyone who doesn't believe in God and who doesn't ask him for forgiveness is going to go to hell, and they'd never wish that on anybody, this is why they try to convert others.

What many Christians don't realize, however, is that there is a clear difference between what they should do, which is testify and spread the Gospel, and what they shouldn't do, which is force their religion on others.

There is a huge difference between saying "I feel that Christ has died for our sins and we should worship him and this is why..." and saying "You're going to hell if you don't agree with me on every point I make!"

The Christian faith states that God gave humans free will. This means that they can choose to follow him or not. They can choose how to do so. All we as Christians are responsible for is telling how having God in our lives has affected us. Beyond that, it is the person's choice and we should respect that.

It's all the same God, we just call him different names.

:wink:

i think the world would be so much better if i was just running everything.

Interesting how I can have the same opinion as you, word for word, and be in utter opposition because of that.

(Damn it, no one told me competition would ever be this big when I started this whole 'I want to rule the world' thing...)

What will we do tonight, Brain?

we knew for certain whether or not one religion was true. If there was one religion that was true, we could all get on with worshipping the same god, and have less reason to fight and less reason to be divided.

What do you guys think?

I think many people still would not accept this and fight regardless.

Damn I'm good. Good enough not to participate in this anymore. :P

Then, "meh".

Oh and another thing. What if the only God who turns out to be real is Khorne, the Chaos God of blood and slaughter? That wouldn't make the world a better place...

Better off knowing than not knowing. Anyways, we know Khorne is fictional, he was made up by Games Workshop. I know all that stuff, so don't think you can get it past me. :P

i'd rather not know! ignorance is bliss

The world would be much better if there were no: KKK, ACLU, NAACP, UNCF, UN, AARP, GLAAD, NOW, GOP, DNC, UAL, OPEC, Black Panthers, terrorists, Affirmative Action, KAs, assholes named Robert Foster, hippies, the NRA, Green Party, NAMBLA, and everyone just got along without wanting to be identified with a certian group.

If anyone is curious to who some of these groups are, just ask.

but seriously, you'd rather not know? What if it turns out another religion is right, and our worship of another was not only a waste of time but made us worthy of damnation?

Besides, Khorne is probably based on some 'real' God anyway, seeing as GW has no imagination whatsoever.

Yeah, it can be said about Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch :P

It may very well be, although they have some imagination, it just doesn't show. :lol:
Oh well. 40k rules!

yes, if you could read, not just spell out letters in your head, you would be able to read Black Panthers clearly on my list.

The point of the list was not things that piss me off (eventhough the Robert Foster addition was) but that people need to discover some individuality, instead of taking the values of the group they join.

¿Comprende, you piece of afterbirth?
