Really? You didn't get what I wrote? Ebbomega seemed to get it.

Kinda like how Expelled! equates all atheists to Nazis (despite being one of the most fundamentally christian regimes of the 20th Century)

You're right. I hate Jesus followers.

Probably. I thought everyone would get it though. :( Sorry.

[rawb]

"Jesus is stupid!" to "Christians are stupid!" to "A small number of Christians are stupid" in less than a page, that is some epic backpeddling.

Oh god it's like talking to a 15 year old after one week of Comparative Religion 11

[miss.myra]

hey let's talk about yoga!

[cubed]

How did your yogathon go you dirty heathen?

[rawb]

To sum up Erin's argument:

Christian saying "Non-Christians are stupid" = bad
Christian saying "Gay people are stupid" = bad
Erin saying "I hate people who follow Jesus" = informed decision

The point is that if you're hating on jesus followers simply because they're jesus followers then you're just as discriminatory as those who hate on non-followers simply because they are non-followers.

It was awesome, I even went despite my sickness. I got bendy and did 10 WHEELS IN A ROW in this one power class, it was amazing! Anyhow, there was a ton of money raised for Unicef and to boot, I got free cookies by george. mmm.

[cubed]

I would have done it just for the cookies.

in my scientific opinion, bendyness can be measured in how hard you work. ie - in a hot class, it might be how wet your towel/clothes are after you're done, or could be how sore your muscles are the next day (ie challenging new muscles that might not have been worked in a long time)

[NinjaBoy]

in my scientific opinion, unless it leads to "yoga fire" or "yoga flame" all this work is for nothing.

ideally, this is the case. however, the bible says that to believe any of it is to believe all of it, as the word of god is infallible. what im saying is that one can read the bible, and agree with its values all they want, but until they shun all other "false prophets and idols" they can never be an actual christian. or catholic. or whatever.

so your mother isnt a christian. christians, by defenition, beleive in god and only god. not horoscopes, not tarot cards, not seances, not crop circles, nothing.

[Bevvy Swift]

^that said, im not a christian or anything like it, because im not willing to shun the idea that there are other forces at work than some invisible man up in heaven or whatever.

[ebbomega]

Um, no, Christians are the people who follow the teachings of Christ and accept the New Testament as a gospel of the Lord.

it's only mistranslations and erroneous interpretations that say that the Bible is infallible, and it really only takes a good reading of the Bible to see how infallibility just plain doesn't work given the amount of contradiction it has.

Yes, I have read the Bible. I am a confirmed member of the United Church even though I don't practice anymore and I'm well learned about what the Bible says. I also know that a lot of your interpretation is based off the codifying of the Bible and has little to do with what the actual Greek and Latin translations have to say.

Just because someone has another way of praying or communing with God doesn't mean that it's a different God.

I find it very interesting that you claim that my mother isn't Christian since she's been ordained in a Christian Church. You know what that means, right?

Most "occult" practices are actually based in the Old Testament (Kaballah = Jewish mysticism).

Priests originally were just scholars who interpreted the words and explained them in the language of the people. Throughout most of the dark ages though the priests instead used their understanding of the languages the Bible was originally written in to codify and push the religion into dogmatic forms of control, and thus spawned "witch hunts" and other aggressive tactics to proclaim all other forms of worship to be sacrilege. But that has a lot less to do with what the Bible says and a lot more to do with attempting to control the populous.
