Sir Phydeau User ID: 5465427 United States 04/27/2012 01:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm an atheist until the clouds part and the flying spaghetti monster says hello! Quoting: AtheistRepublican The FSM(flying spaghetti monster)parody is an instance of intelligent design, but unjustified as it attributes properties to the designer which can not be inferred from biological complexity. As a material object, extended in space and time- it can not be the cause of the Big Bang, because the CAUSE of the big bang has to exist BEYOND space and time and be the creator of all matter and energy in the universe. So....the FSM parody does NOTHING to undercut the standard arguments for a trancendent creator. dude? what the hell did you just say? Basically, he wants to convey that FSM was an incomplete attempt at creating a religion, I think. Totally failing to realize that that was the whole point. "When the facts change, I change my mind.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7254491 United States 04/27/2012 02:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The catagories are insulting/condescending. Would it have been so hard to list list Catholic and Protestant instead of implying that Catholics are not "Christian"? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6387633 Then there are Pentecostals -- that would have been interesting. And also, with current affairs being what they are (Mit Romney's run for president), it would have been fun to see how many Mormons there are. This person makes a valid point - Catholics are Christian too. You should have made categories for Protestant and Catholic rather than "Christian" and Catholic if you intended to make a distinction. You should fix it. Catholicism is straight out of hell, worshipping a satanic idol Virgin Mary statue, praying to fallen being saints, looking to a man for forgiveness of sins instead of God. You will know them by their fruits. (2 Corinthians 6:17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you Anyone who thinks they are a Christian by being a Catholic has never even started reading the Bible for themselves. Also the Bible does not say anything about denominations. A true Christian follows the Word of God alone, not any 'denomination.' |

In no way am I saying that you are not Christian.... I was just trying to point out the different religions... again, my apologies peace, ag What is a spirit? And how can you have allegiance to it? Oh well I guess I agree with the philosophy of atheism, but I don't see how it fits in the list together with the likes of Christianity, black magic or Hinduism. Also why did you list Catholicism and Christianity as separate items? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 14978003 United Kingdom 04/27/2012 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | God Bless You... I voted " other" . The reason for this is because when i was younger i blindly believed in God even though there were a few " interventions " which compounded my belief , i realised i had to accept Jesus the Christ and join a church i became a catholic for no other reason than the congregation had a significant number of poorer people and wasn't as petentious as the other churches available. Then i realised the church was preaching another agenda to Gods . Then i saw that the catholics for what they are AND DON'T EVEN SEE IT????? ..Sun worshipping pagans..the church of the father of lies. So even though i belive in God and Jeshua ( Jesus is a mix of Jeshua and Zeus ) i cannot associate myself with any church...especially when they say the Sabbath is on Sunday???..So i cannot call myself a Christian anymore...So i am Other from now on. PEACE. |

Also why did you list Catholicism and Christianity as separate items? Well, despite the fact that it's so offensive to Catholics, many protestants believe that the papacy is the little horn foretold in the book of Daniel and then later to become the beast of Revelation. Then when you factor in that there are SO many rituals, laws and practices that are traditions of men and not commandments of YHWH (something the Messiah was quite adamant about not doing) it just lends credibility to the aforementioned position. I, for one, condemn the RCC personally (as in I will never return to it) but don't judge (or at least try not to). This will be a matter to be settled on some future Yom Kippur.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7254491 United States 04/27/2012 02:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm a Born Again follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.By HIS GRACE and MERCY ONLY. I was a Catholic, but Jesus showed me His death on the cross was for MY salavtion. There was nothing I could do to add to His Holy Sacrfice. I judge no Catholic, or any one else, but I know I am a Christian. (Ephesians 2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Romans 10:17) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (James 1:22) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2111300 United States 04/27/2012 02:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hello all I choose "OTHER" I do believe in the 2nd coming of Christ and that we are in the end times I believe in the Bible but however all those religions posted on the poll are not useful for anyone We can debate all of them and break them down one by one if any one wishes and not by expressing opinions but rather with facts. The Bible was never a religious book which is the constitution of the Israelites the real ones, Blacks, Native Americans and Hispanics. The laws contained in the bible also pertain to the strangers or so called gentiles so they are welcome also. The Laws, Statutes and Commandments are still in effect to be rehearsed before the 2nd coming of Christ and that is the key to survive this coming madness which will become world wide increasingly worse and worse...The Earth is now changing powers and the creator is taking it back and setting up his people the nation of Israel Opinions don't matter and all religion will fall is about power and who has most of it and at the end of the day our GOD AHAYAH with his son Christ will rule this earth with a rod of Iron under the law... The law is the safe haven religion is not. |
