Christians here?
Are there any Christians on Nationstates? I am talking actual Christian people, I would love to talk to one (No, I am not going to go into a rant).

Well that explains it

If Christians followed the rules, we wouldn't be where we are today.
In fact, if Jesus had followed the laws, we wouldn't be here.

Since you are Christian, why did back around ~1500 (give or take a century or two) all the different Christian sects persecute each other? I mean they sent each other to jail, tortured each other and killed. Why couldn't the just unite, be friends, and have cupcakes?

As I said in that thread, people use religion for political gains.

Cupcakes still did not exist. As soon as they were invented, the persecutions stopped. Today, the only places where Christian persecution continues have a very low cupcake per capita, closer to ancient times than what you would expect in the modern world.
I use religion to get laid.

Give this man a hand. Never mind, he apparently does so himself.
I'm a Christian. My family's from southern China and we frequently help the underground church and persecuted believers in China.

Religiously.

I know that I would be rather upset without cupcakes. I doubt I would have been any better than those self-persecuting Christians.
Thank you for your insight.

Pick up any European history book. It's largely explained in there why Christianity did and continues to divide itself.

If there were no christians there would be no muslims, crusades, witch trials, or clinic-bombing fundies.
Funny that. :rolleyes:

We got some dude named Theodosis X. He's a homophobic fuck, so I'll have to assume...
Also, remember the UN report on "Nations with the Highest Marijuana Use", yeah the winner belongs to Jesus.

See, those people may have been Christians, but they were also people, and in general, no offence guys, but people are pretty fucked. Give us some reason or even slight excuse not to like each other, and we will murder each other's children.
Its because of how much fighting and oppression and persecution etc etc that im a non-denomination Christian. I dont care about the small details that set these sects apart. What's that Mr. Catholic Priest, you dont approve of contraception? Oh, and Mr. Protestant doesnt hold the Mother Mary in such high esteem? Well good for you guys, but i dont really care.
But whatever denomination i may or may not be, im a christian. So feel free to chat to me

I'm Roman Catholic and immensly proud of it. I have a good knowledge of the true faith and its history so I can answer most of your theological questions if you want. However I'll be the first to admit that I am FAR from perfect in my personal conduct and I need a lot of penance and improvement.

That hurts, especially coming from a bloody socialist such as yourself. Your twisted ideology has killed far more than any group of so-called "religious fanatics".
I like nationstates. Its the only place where the minority actually has the courage to say something. But thats just my point of view. Yes, I'm Christian. Roman Catholic to be exact. Is the OP still here?I'm still here, but I believe the thread has served its purpose.

Really didn't want to reply to that but I'm just going to have to, Socialism has killed very, very few people in its time on earth, that is the aim of socialism, equality of quality of life, don't bring up Stalinist Communism because that's not real socialism, that was hardly a centralised DEMOCRACY, believing in freedom and equality, like Marx said before he died "If there's one thing I know it's that I'm not a Marxist"

Doesn't mean it is a good thing.

You mean PETA and the ALF would have never started their bombings?
(P.S. I mean the members of the organizations not necessarily the organization itself.)
I'm Catholic btw.

I have a question for Christians.
Do you guys feel like you're getting the whole picture from the Bible, even though about a thousand years ago (give or take) a bunch of men got together and pick and choose the books that would go into the New Testament of the Bible? Also, how accurate do you think today Bible really is to the original version?

That actually make sense with his question. Catholics don't see the Bible as the only source, probably because they more or less edited it. Many see it as an explanation of the beliefs, not proof.
