I'd still have it there if coudl find the pics.

but that had nothin to do with Angels And Demons? I was talking about something completely different to everything in the book.

Except the Bible I guess, But I'v always found the whole thing hard to believe.

you had the whole "jesus is a false idol" thing going on, which, i dont think hes an idol. Hes a symbol. Its not like you see people rocking white robes and jesus sandals around town trying to be god.

Maybe Idol was the wrong word then. I said that mainly talking in a bad way about christianity, becuase personally i dont believe Jesus as we know him ever existed.

We know now that Christianity lied to us and tricked us hundreds of years ago. Peasants were told they would go to hell if theydidnt worship god, they paid money into an already extremely wealthy church so that clergy could get richer.

Maybe christianity today is totally about following Jesus, I doubt it, but it might be.

I'm pretty tired so chances are hat doesnt even make sense :/

thats where i start to think, like, i think about an aquarium; how we place these fish in a tank, we give them a support system, water filter so they can maintain breathing, we supply them with everything, and we watch....as they live their lives.....then i start to think about our situation on earth....isn't it a little strange that this planet has been PERFECTLY suited to maintain and hold life? like what if we are just an aquarium in someone else's world...that would be crazy

I think of it like this: Everyone on earth has been influenced by other people and the world. None of us were born with everything we know. So to me, being put in hell for all eternity for what you did doesn't make sense. We are taught this, raised this way. If we go to hell then the people who influenced us to be that way should be punished to right? But even they were influenced. Since God has a son then maybe there is another world? I'm sorry, but believing any religion is hard to me, for one reason only: PEOPLE LIE. Religion has burned so many philosophy books to keep people in order what can you believe? The whole point that everything needs to have a beginning is contradicted with god's existance anyway right? That would be a paradox to every single thing we've learned. God could be a control tool or simply a guess to put our minds at ease.

religion is the biggest cult out there, seriously, but then again, it does help some people to go, but i think its a big joke, just because of yeah, human beings are untrustworthy, and who says the ones before us lived without deception and hate? who was there to live it and back up arguments? all we have is a bunch of books

Ok, so what if right now I said "ayo son, I saw god in the kitchen scramblin eggs". Of course I have no proof to show you. But I said it.. so have faith.

Yep, pretty much my point.

jesus has been way too commercialized to engulf the world into christianity, meh, i believe in what jesus stood for, not what the churches tell me and tell me to think....watch stigmata, that shit is good

__________________

Hes been way to commercial? its the people using his image, lol, its not like hes hanging up billboards of himself advertising car sales.

__________________

i didn't say it was jesus' fault, lmlo...i said his image has been commercialized

We dont know the word of god. Thats what im trying to say. Humans Lied, Christianity lied. If someone in this day and age tells you they'v spoken to god, nobody believes him.

People were gullible. Trying to communicate with God would be the same as Trying to communicate witha dead person.

Yeah I agree. But I understand most christians understanding of it. (assuming christianity is true) Jesus was God, right? So he rocked up to earth to lay down the facts and shit. He was basically the word of God. Now some guys recorded what happened and things he said and lessons he taught, and that is what makes up the bible.. so christians follow the bible.

But what they miss, is that theres many translations of the bible, and probably even the oldest scrolls and shit are copies, albeit bad ones, and theyve been tossed and turned around, translated back and forth, and manipulated... so christians, unless they learn hebrew and study sacred scrolls, are living their lives by a vague, yet well tossed salad-like document.

Not necessarily, and i know what you mean, if you sit down and say "god, uhh, sup?".. hes not gonna say in his booming voice and have lighting come down on you with a "nothing, what about you?" ... Ever heard that god speaks in mysterious ways?
