@Columbo and Sixx, again, that's the general perception from an atheistic view! "Born and raised that way, forced into that religion, etc...." How do you view a Christian Hypocrite, when you guys don't follow or TRY to practice that Statutes, Laws, and Morals. How about you Sixx, you say this world is a fucked up world yet you do drugs right? How do you help this world with your weed consumption? As for Columbo, I don't see what's so far fetch'd about what your mom is saying, if anything, try to understand what she is saying, and before you REBUKE and THINK you can refute her claims or statements about the bible, read up on it. I'm a novice in terms of my biblical scholarship, but I'm well aware of my surroundings, and where I came from.
I learned a great lesson observing religious zealotry, from the Indigenousness people of Mexico, to Africa, the Pacific Islands, and Middle East. What happened when those forced into the religion, understood the full concept of Christianity? They used the knowledge and goodness of the religion, against their oppressors. From the Protestants break away from the Roman Catholics, to the Black Slaves using Jesus as a way to break the Slavery bondage. You can say men killed in the Name of God, just for the sake of hiding behind the Ideology, but that's way to vague of an excuse, look at the bigger picture folks. Can you really compare a "True Christian" to Bush, it's going to be a far cry because Bush hides behind the Name of God and Jesus. That my friend is a hypocrite. What are your standards for a hypocritical Christian, you guys live your lives without self conviction, but are quick to say a Christian is a hypocrite.
Sixx, you say people have a religion, to be "good" and use Christianity, to cop out of the bad life, then switch it up, then what about those who use the Insanity Plea when they're convicted? I rather have a friend or foe that believes in God or a god, and have a religion, then have no morals at all. Don't get me wrong here, I know there are atheists and Agnostics that have great morals, but imagine the world without a Deity to worship, you think the world would be different, FUCK YEAH! Without, my understanding Christ, and walking in his teachings, there's no contemplating where I'd be right now.
Whether you agree with what I'm about to say or not, each form of morals and ethics, can be attributed to Religion. I don't give a fuck whether you agree on it or not, cause it's the damn truth.
I don't know if 206 still trolls this thread, but answer my question. You said that God is for the weak minded, then do you speak on behalf of Heresy, Mexcom, Nav, Me, Parkboyz, or any other Theist in the siccness network?
