Reply with quote

Ok so I admit that I am athiest, I still like people with religions, and I have some highly religious best friends.

I thought it'd be best to tell you that before I started my rant so you didnt judge me.

Ok, well the concept of  religion seems way too...
stupid really

I mean, since when can a guy sit on a cloud and be everywhere at the same time unless he was like HUGELY overweight, and if he was overweight then he wouldnt be able to sit on a cloud now would he?

I think jesus was just some crazy guy who thought he knew and this guy "god" and blah blah blah, brainwashed everyone.

As for other religions, I basically think they started in the same kinda way, crazy guy who thought he knew loads of stuff about the religions leader, and made a book about it.

Yeah so there is my opinion.

Are you referring to God? No religion believes he sits on a cloud
I'm an athiest too, but I don't think it's really fair to say "jesus was just some crazy guy who thought he knew and this guy "god" and blah blah blah, brainwashed everyone."
since the existence of god can neither be proven or disproven.

True, we will never find the answers. I also think a lot of it is just myths and bedtime stories. How can Jesus do all this stuff like turn water into wine that is impossible? Well, it's not completly impossible, it's just very unlikely.

It'd be better if you changed the title to "Christianity" as not every religion believes in a god, like Buddhism.
Not religion dropping, I swear. ^^;;

[mainly to sunshinesteph]

God isnt a person, he is only called 'He' (generally) as a form of respect, i mean, calling the creator of everything 'it' wouldnt be very nice would it.

and 'He' isnt a person like me or you, he is only depicted as one so that we can relate to him assome sort of a stereotypical father figure.

Hes a force, i mean, airs everywhere (basically) in our atmosphere but you dont here physicists say ' well, we have concluded that air must be really fat to be everywhere at once'

now thats stupid.

but yeh, i guess if you dont believe in God then you wouldnt really underrstand, but it sounds like your making fun of something that a lot of people believe in.

Exactly, Sunshinesteph I don't think you understand their beliefs fully.

Everyone in my family have different religions.

Just because someone is religious doesn't mean they have been brainwashed. Someone who is religous might say that you've been brainwashed into not being religous.
