I'm like, WTF? User ID: 26756823 United States 09/08/2013 04:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is NO SUCH thing as a "Christian" This WORD is not found in Scripture - but instead a name given to the "followers of Yah" by those that sought to KILL them for what they believed. These were gentle people who did nothing but heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons and love each other. For this, they were tortured and slaughtered. For the record? The proper WORD for those who follow in the ways of Yahushua (aka Jesus Christ) is "Yahuan" For the record? I am FAR MORE offended by the word "Christian" then I have EVER been by the word "Fuck" The word "Fuck" is a vulgar word or COMMON word (vulgar means common) so - If you are referring to the people (aka Christians) whose hypocrisy includes self-righteousness? Then look up what Yahushua had to say to those who sat in judgement of others, the very same people that turned the house of YHWH into a "den of robbers" then sent Him to the cross. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32337439 I think that a lot of people swear constantly because they think it makes them look tough in the eyes of people. Having lived on this planet for many years, I can now see through all that. Also, most people I know can't even put a single sentence together without dropping the F-bomb at least three times. Rather than make them look tough (in my view), it makes them look the opposite...as though they are pandering to the 'world's' view of how they should act, to be accepted. It's a sign of weakness, for that reason. The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32337439 To the contrary, studies have shown a correlation between higher levels of intelligence and frequency of use of "swear" words. Moreover, it's all totally arbitrary, the process of designating a word as being a "swear". The word f@ck (censored to protect the sensitive feelings of those, here ;) ) is not considered to be a curse word in England, from what I understand, yet the word "shag" often is. There is absolutely no meaning or significance behind such things other than that which we, ourselves, attach to them. As in the case of other matters, the public, in general, just follows and obeys what they're told -- in this instance, that a particular word is "bad", so they shouldn't ever, ever use it. Like sheep, they accept this conditioning without question, and modify their word choices accordingly. Perhaps that's part of the reason why people possessing higher intelligence are apt to swear more? Maybe they see it for exactly what it is: another method of control. |

"to-Anointed-belonged-to. " [link to www.qbible.com] I am a Christian but I got chewed out this morning by a bunch of Christians when I said that due to the persecution of being utterly financially ruined for refusing to give service to homosexuals in gay marriage, Christians should just bake their cakes and decorate their flowers and keep our pearls to ourselves. I was told that God would hold me personally responsible for the sin of the gay marriage because I had participated. I said, when you are legally forced to participate or be driven out of business, you aren't going to be held accountable for their sin. I was then told to watch out for my own soul, but I told them that if fighting is what Christians out to do, then why hadn't the churches stood up for Cakes by Melissa by offering to pay for her legal team and her fines as well as those faced by other Christians who stood up against gay marriage. I was lectured about a love of money and to watch out for my soul again. I didn't go to church today. I didn't think I would be able to sit there without rocking back in forth because my anxiety was up. But still, doesn't it make sense that the church would stand up and protect these people, but I don't see that happening. Also, if this were the case, that God was going to hold me accountable for other people's sinfulness if I gave them service in the commission of the sin, then wouldn't I be guilty for not proselytyzing every person that I come across everyday. Wouldn't that be as big a sin as baking a cake for a gay wedding? I am so confused. The only person I know who proselytyzes everyone is Ronald and everyone thinks that he has schizophrenia. He's mostly really nice, though. So, wouldn't every other Christian be guilty of letting people walk to by them and go to hell everyday? You would have to witness to all the people you work with and that could get you fired from your job. Maybe it's a love of money, but most Christians aren't doing this. I have worked, so I know they keep their mouths shut at work for the most part in order to keep their jobs. People make me really sick sometimes. Christard and Lover of God |

Jesus used some pretty shocking language for his day when he talked about the pharasees... He called them a brood of vipers, full of dead mans bones and he called them whited walls. Whited walls were a term for the public bathrooms that people would use in those days against a wall that would then be painted over white again and again. They looked clean on the outside but inside they were fill of shit. Essentially, Jesus was saying the pharasees were full of shit. |

She's a big shot at her church, but she won't even talk to me now. This after I asked her if she thought I deserved a good job and she said that I would have to have a job where I didn't work with people and it would have to be where I didn't have to interact socially because I'm a social retard.
