Well, you know what Blaise Pascal would have said, don't you?
I believe that was written somewhere in the back of the conclusion to part one of the Pensees.
Smart guy that Pascal.
I'd have to agree here. I personally study religions as a hobby, and have done so for about 17 years. Obviously, it makes for an interesting discussion, but on the FreeOnes forums??
I come here to relax, not watch and count down to a monumental flame war.

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said 'Stop! don't do it!'
'Why shouldn't I?' he said.
I said, 'Well, there's so much to live for!'
He said, 'Like what?'
I said, 'Well...are you religious or atheist?'
He said, 'Religious.'
I said, 'Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?'
He said, 'Christian.'
I said, 'Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?'
He said, 'Protestant.'
I said, 'Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?'
He said, 'Baptist!'
I said, 'Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist church of god or Baptist church of the lord?'
He said, 'Baptist church of god!'
I said, 'Me too! Are you original Baptist church of god, or are you reformed Baptist church of god?'
He said, 'Reformed Baptist church of god!'
I said, 'Me too! Are you reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?'
He said, 'Reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!'
I said, 'Die, heretic scum,' and pushed him off.

Oh here we go again, but what the fuck, I'll bite. I believe in a higher power and that he/she/it deals with people on an individual basis. Religions are flawed as they are the product of flawed humans. No one religion has it totally right or totally wrong. Most of the basic values in religion are on the money, (don't kill, don't steal, etc.) but other aspects are off. Do people really think that a higher power cares about what they eat or what they wear.
If you believe in a certain doctrine, great, follow it. The problem is that too many people just take the parts that are easy to follow and toss the others aside. I live my life the way that I see fit. I don't bother others on how they should live or what they should believe, and I expect the same courtesy from them.:2 cents:
Now back to our regularly scheduled flaming.:wave2:

I hope God, Allah, Odin, Zeus, Amaterasu or whatever god you believe in the least sends the biggest, baddest escaped prisoner to your place and he is very horny and you are in your "sexiest" nightie. Then....well you see what I'm getting at.

Never forget Enel. He'll unleash El Thor on your ass.
It's funny that I find some of the most shallow, mean-spirited people around to be of the anti-religion/atheist variety. Got a neighbor who sports a big ol' O'bama sign in his yard; smart guy, but a real twit about anything related to religion. This is commonplace in my city among those holier-than-thou atheist types (just look at Adronycus 
). And I am not talking about the wackos that hold "God Hates Fags" signs at soldiers funerals. The typical atheist antics are seen every year with the little nitwits trying to ruin Christmas for the little ones. Talk about poor sports! Just look at Janeane Garofalo, as if she doesn't have a stick jammed up her ass.
Not that I wouldn't kick it with some of my atheist friends on here.
And don't get me started on Islamofascism. :nono:

I carry a giant golden ball every where I go.
this needs a poll but i'm going with fabrication...it's like a movie based on true events certain aspects of the film may have happened but most of it is completely made up

You know what? If Jesus is coming back to judge us, I can't wait. I can't wait for Him to rake assholes like Pat Robertson and James Dobson across the coals for demonizing gays, lesbians, haters and other religions. I just love the way these tools transform biblical scripture to conform to their views. Maybe Jesus could turn their prejudices around. Or at least their diseased beliefs of what his teachings intended.
Maybe he can even give Obama a conscience as to how he is ruining America!
Amen to fuckin that! At least it serves some purpose for you!

I find religious people are generally more delicious than atheists. They've been beaten (mostly into submission) more, so they're tender. Plus, they realize they're worthless, so many have no trouble with me eating them.
Nothing like a couple of Christians on a spit over an open fire. :yummie:
