Why I Am Not A Christian

[tommywho70x]

when the polish pontiff, john paul ii died, he was informed by st. peter that god was so pleased with his life on earth that he would be granting him an audience at 5 that afternoon.

he also told him that he was going to be allowed to wait in the library where the unedited versions of the canonical works were kept. st peter left john paul ii there and told him he would return shortly before 5 to accompany him to his audience with god.

when peter entered the corridor to pick up john paul he heard him wailing and banging his head on the wall moaning, "all those years and it said celebrate!"

What irriates me more than anything is the smug assumption that with education atheism must follow.

I'm educated, my sister is educated, my friends are educated and yet we're Christian. In fact, most of us were raised in atheist families...either admittedly or in practice. My mom claimed to be an atheist and was proud of it, as was her father.

There are always exceptions to the rule, especially if you attend Liberty University, but demographically speaking, as a population's education level increases, so does its rejection of organized religion.

Tis why the Catholic Church is strongest in uneducated Africa and Latin America, and weakest in highly-educated Europe and Japan.

Why do people feel the need to share their thoughts on why they are or are not followers of any faith. Frankly, I couldn't give a shit.

It's also very entertaining that the socialists are so desperate to sell their product that they resort to using the rather pathetic reason of 'Christ was a socialist'.... Clearly, they have no concept of Christianity or any other faith. It is laughably stupid.

I think that living in poverty comes from the example that nuns and priests set or that Jesus lived in poverty yet he never went without.

I think that's a better life then slaving all your life just so Uncle Sam can take it from us....and give it to someone else.

I like the way Jesus lived.

Jesus taught a socialist economy....which is why the earliest Christians were socialists.

Once again you've got it totally wrong.

Jesus taught us to be giving....not to be subjugated by an abusive government.

Socialism takes away our choices. Jesus taught us that we have choices.

Seriously. It's painfully obvious you have never studied the Bible so please stop embarrassing yourself. And don't put words in my mouth. I never said Jesus taught a socialist government. He was very anti-government. He did teach a socialist economy and I'm guessing you're too fucking stoopid and ignorant to understand how.

95% of the time, I don't care, either. The 5% is when God is telling you to blow me up.

Christian Marxism is ridiculous, and I'm not even Christian!

apparently you care enough to post that you don't care.

so tell us, what is important enough to you to say something more than talking about it is laughably stupid?

is that really your picture in your profile?

when i read your posts i see someone who is fat, ugly and has warts on her chin, not somebody i'd like to caress with my tongue.

You contradict yourself again you infantile insult deleted. The thread title isn't exactly ambiguous yet you clicked on the thread to respond to the op.

Then you try to pretend to know anything about the economies of the earliest Christians or Jesus' basic teachings. It's always laiughable when trust fund deletedlike you whine about economics.

She's the kind of deceptive dumbass that buys picture frames with pics already in them then puts them on shelves and claim they are relatives/friends. It's best to let them live in their fantasies.

Grow the fuck up, little man.

The question I always love to ponder is " thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife" does that mean I can covet my neighbors husband?

It's just an oversight. The Old Testament was written in a time and culture when women were barely considered human. Religion was serious business and considered a man's domain. Things haven't progressed much, however, in many of the Christian cults.

Actually I think the early christians were republicans.

“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”

They didn't want to pay unfair taxes either.

The RCC has a great deal of irrationality, syrenn. I don't understand how the Pope can sit in a room full of priceless masterpieces when he knows that people all over the world are ill or hungry or suffering. Why not auction off the Sistine Chapel etc. and feed the poor?

Benedict has covered himself in glory, though we've had other terrible Popes. I think Benedict's finest moment so far was his speech on the evils of using condoms. Apparently he is unconcerned about the death rate from AIDS in Africa and elsewhere.

Did Sister Theresa sit in the Vatican? No, she was in the slums of Calcutta until she died, giving to the downtrodden.....pretty amazing nun.....

And an outspoken opponent of a women's right to chose to end her pregnancies. How much did she really care about the poor if she worked so hard to deny them the opportunity to limit the number of children they give birth to and to cease to be breed cows pumping out more impoverished laborers for the rich and powerful.

God doesn't tell anyone to blow up other people. That's a man thing.

This is a message board. People speak what is on their mind. Personally, I think it's very interesting to read other people's thoughts on religion. It helps me understand my own.

What irriates me more than anything is the smug assumption that with education atheism must follow.

I'm educated, my sister is educated, my friends are educated and yet we're Christian. In fact, most of us were raised in atheist families...either admittedly or in practice. My mom claimed to be an atheist and was proud of it, as was her father.

It is a typical trend. I think it happens because many people think that they are educated and there for better than others and then pride blinds people.

Interestingly though, the more educated a Mormon is, the more faithful he/she is. I dont know how that correlates in other faiths, but I always found that interesting.

More often than not when people make self proclamations of being educated or intelligent the opposite often bears out as closer to being accurate.

I agree. After all true wisdom comes from knowing that you know nothing.

It's because we want to have discussions and share who we are with people.

I understand some dont care and that's fine. But i think it's interesting

do you think i care if anybody cares?

i was trying not to be vulgar, but since you chimed in, i really think you ladies need your clits nibbled on more often.

if you got head more often you wouldn't act like you had chronic PMS.

maybe if your significant others knew that foreplay was more than a slap in the ass and yelling at you to wake up so he could slam his salami into you, y'all might be more pleasant and have more worthwhile input here.
