Christianity is good, paganism is bad, atheism is void.

What's wrong with paganism, as a whole?
And "void" is fine if a) it's honest and b) it allows us to fill it with ourselves."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

Actually, all three are void, but only one is honest with themselves.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Good to hear, because my negative view of Christianity comes in large part from Methodists and Baptists. I'd venture to guess that's the case (mainstream, "legitimate" denominations, that is, not those two specifically) more often than someone forming a negative view of Christianity solely because of Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses.Originally posted by Mr. Nice Guy
Just for reference, such denominations as Baptists, Nazarenes, Methodists, Pentecostals, Messianic Judaism among many others are legitimate denominations that do hold to original Orthodox teachings.
Edit: crap, that's what I get for skimming the thread.Last edited by Solomwi; March 10, 2005, 15:57.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

I am an athiest because there is NO evidence for any kind of higher power. I am annoyed when people like creationists try to resort to a "God in the gaps" argument whenever our knowlege of a scientific topic is poor. (*cough* intelligent design *cough*)

I can see that them Marxists have been drilling a lot of hogwash into your brain.Originally posted by chegitz guevara
No, it hasn't. By your own definition, you are not a true Christian. You are every bit as much a deviant as the Mormons and JWs. It was invented in the 19th Century.
I'm more of a true Christian than you.
That one-liner is worthy being quoted in my sig, but just because I'm Mr. Nice Guy and a Christian I'm not gonna do it.

"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17Comment

This thread is a hot contender for the title of "Lamest thread ever!". It's got discourse on what constitutes true Christianity. It's got Asher and Agathon, coupled with Steve Jobs references. It's got Fez. It's got over-confident atheists stridently asserting that only they have The Way And The Truth. It's got Fez.

OK. I'm a pagan. There's your proof.

See... you can't even provide evidence of your God. And when someone confronts you with this fact, you hide behind a smiley.Originally posted by Mr. Nice Guy
For the record, I'm more agnostic than atheist. I don't believe one can effectively say "there is no god" any more than one can say, "there is a god".
But then again, one doesn't need to be an atheist to know that human religions are flawed and the product OF humans. That's why I laugh at Christians, Jews, and Muslims. They sit and pray to something that was fabricated over a thousand years ago.
My grandmother, who ironically was a devout Christian, told me, "you have a brain to use it, lose it, or abuse it."
I choose to use the brain that may or may not have been given to me by a God. By putting faith in unproven conjecture and mythology, Christians are not using their brains. And by rejecting science and other facts that disprove many parts of their religion, they are abusing their mind by believing in something that is obviously false.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Paganism
Atheism
Christianity
Religious beliefs of any sort
people who like Elton John don't know Black Sabbath. The two are mutually exclusive.
Actually, I like both.
Oh, and not forget about Asia, especially in places like China. BTW, that Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami opened up a BIG oppurtunity for us Christians over there. That's a good example of how God can make good things happen out of bad things.

Profiting off the misery of a disaster? Reap a bounty of souls in the wake of a apocalypse.
MNG, you do not speak for my Christian God. Do not pretend to speak for all Christians.B♭3Comment

I could probably dig out a photo of me on Glastonbury Tor on Midsummer's morning. Would you accept that as proof that I'm a pagan?Originally posted by Odin
