Christians?, with all these post, are there any christians here? Options

[Juris Khan]

is anybody here a Christian, and if so, do you really believe and follow Christ, because with all these posts about having sex and whatnot, it doesn't necessarily sound like it...but i don't want to be judgmental and say that you're not...

Hmm. I guess what I said really disturbed some people. This was never my intention. I was trying to make people laugh and succeeded so far as that me, Josh, and Jake laughed quite a good deal. If anyone had a real problem with what I said, I'll break it down for you as best as possible.

First, when I said I'm not a christian though I do believe in God, that was a flat out lie. I do not have any belief whatsoever in any shape or form of Deity. Is it possible that people have souls? Maybe. Will I say that I am 100% completely sure that there is not a God, no. But the fact is that I do not believe in one just as much as you do believe there is one. What I believe is that the Bible is a book of stories meant to teach us morality and honor and values. But it wasn't meant to be taken to the extreme it has been for the past few thousand years. The story of the boy who cried wolf tells us not to lie or else someday when something really bad happens, no one will believe us. Yet do I think that story is talking about a specific boy who cried wolf to the villagers and was disbelieved so was in turn killed by the wolf? Absolutely not, that is stupid. Same can go for the story of Hansel and Grettel and the Woman in the Shoe, they're just stories people!! Not meant to be taken literally or followed to the point where we kill those who dare not believe what we do.

Secondly, no one knows if Jesus was Black, white, chinese, Indian, or Oompa Loompa, so just drop that goddamn debate already. If you believe in him so blindly, it shouldn't matter what race he is as long as he does exist.

Now onto Jesus throwing dead puppies at people, ....um....I just thought the image was really funny. Well, funny in that it's just so twisted that it's funny. Especially when God comes down and encourages him. I mean, it is the Apocalypse, Judgement Day and by historical standard there is not a person alive today who is truly worthy of heaven.

Now for Emo Satan who hates everything, that is my only explanation for how Emo culture has possibly been able to flourish. I've got news for every Emo kid out there. I know that you hate people who conform to the popular idea but you know what, that's exactly what your doing. Go cry into the mirror and say how your parents who work their asses off day and night to pay for all your black makeup never pay any attention to you while your in your room all day long with the lights off writing depressing poetry. WHY THE HELL SHOULD THEY!!!!!

Now for the person who said I'm an agnostic, No. I'm am not. But do I go around saying that God is retarded and people who believe in him are too. No, I do not. To tell a joke about something doesn't necessarily mean I'm trying to be "rude and obnoxious." As previously stated, I was trying to make my friends laugh. If you took it the wrong way, tough. I grew up with people forcing religion down my throat. I am being completely serious when I tell you that I went to a Christianity Boot Camp till I was 13.

In a perfect world, all parents will raise their children with good values and morales and then at the age where they are actually able to make a decision for their lives, introduce religion to them. But not only their religion, all religions. Let the person choose which religion works best for them. If you don't approve, tough. It should not be the parent's who decide what their children's belief structure is.

I can see that I've gone off on a bit of a rant. I'll close it by saying don't live your life adhering strictly to the rules of religion because chances are that there is no god or your religion happens to be the wrong religion and you get sent down to Hades or something. Try to open your mind and see how the other half lives. Believe in the fact that we are all alive and our lives are to short to be wasted, sacrificed, or taken because of different faiths.

P.S. Why do Christians who believe they are going to Heaven always tell me they'll see me in Hell? Wouldn't they rather not see me at all?
