Religion: Real or Fake

[Lorizael]

IDOL IS NOT A VERB.

You aren't God/Jesus... So why don't you start acting like a real christian

[giblets]

Why isn't he demonic?

Hold on a sec. Now you're saying Hitchens is a demon?

[Wezil]

And I find you one who is dishonest in your discussion of these matters. i.e. your disagreement with JM.

In fact, hardly any of you is better.

But I will continue to put forth the positives to christianity, such as people like Mother Teresa, and values like true forgiveness.

Yes, like JM you resort to name calling. I'm learning from the christians here.

You all can attack Mother Teresa all you want. It only shows how destructive you are. But is there anything positive about you? No.

Actually you have spent more time criticizing me than I have attacking MT. Like religion in general it isn't worth much effort to me. A very low priority. I simply corrected you on your misrepresentation of what Hitchens has said about MT ( a point you conceded when you didn't respond to the argument but flew into this tizzy instead) and added a one or two line criticism of my own (which Hitchens apparently shares).

People like Hitchins are nothing more than shock jocks for people like you. Ditto heads are more positive than people like you and gribbler.

Meh. I don't spend much time on Hitchens (see my religion priority above). I do like when people call things for what they are though.

You don't know what a follower is.

demonic

[Ming]

And you seem to think you are Jesus... and not simply a follower.

It's hard for one to tell. What, is isn't enough of a priority to behave honorably?

[Kidlicious]

And you seem to think you are Jesus... and not simply a follower.

That's so ridiculous it doesn't deserve a response.

[Ming]

That's so ridiculous it doesn't deserve a response.

That's because you have no good response...

Attacking and personally insulting people is not in the Christian teachings. It's that simple. Yet you continue to disregard Christian teachings and provide a piss poor example of what christians should be about.

[Zoetstofzoetje]

I have a cousin called Jesus, and his brother is called Angel. Does that count?

[Wezil]

It's hard for one to tell. What, is isn't enough of a priority to behave honorably?

I can only behave honourably if I read up on mother teresa and follow a religion?

What, pray tell, happened to you?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Going back to the forgiveness discussion; true forgiveness is to forgive without repentance or being asked to forgive or to determine if someone is "worthy" of forgiveness. That is not the exclusive purview of religious people, but in my life, I've found religious people to be more apt at being able to do it (I'm still trying to work at it).

There's so much in this thread I still need to respond to, that I really can't be bothered....!
Can you please let the thread sink, now everytime I see it I feel guilty for not responding!
