[Brendan Quinn]

Yeah it's all meekness and secret blessings and nothing to do with CHOOSE ME
OR CHOOSE ETERNAL FLAME.

 

I went on a Christian camp once, and was so disturbed by the leaflets they
handed out, little comic strips of normal kids doing 'bad' things and Satan
popping up and damning them to hell etc that I had nightmares, fell off a
top bunk, got concussion (I didn't wake up) and dislocated my shoulder.
Kinda funny in a way, but regardless of the fall and injury, I was
*extremely* disturbed at the time, because I was a very credulous and
earnest kid. The physical injury and headaches correlated with the message
in my mind and I figured I must have something awful to get such a message.

 

Anyway, the whole message on camp was one of damnation, and I got the same
lesson at school and in church and at home. I'm not dumb, I saw right
through to the guts of the message very early on, and it was explicitly
taught that way as well.

 

I might dislike certain faiths etc, including Christianity, but I draw the
line at telling anyone they are going to burn for the rest of eternity.
Especially just by virtue of being born. That's insane and manipulative, and
who knows how many lives have been ruined by it.

greg in all my posts where have i used the term religion which actually
means continous practice of something ..i'm talking about true christianity
exactly as jesus taught ...if someone is cold give them your coat ..if
someone slaps you offer the other cheek ...be kind and compassionate to
others ..give in secret just as jehovah blesses you in secret

SOme of the problems I have w/religion:
Although it may offer some good advice on how to live our lives, it 
1. Doesn't update it's teachings (it's the holy book and nothing else)
2. tends to interpret the holy book in question in a mechanical way
(fundamentalists)
3. is deterministic (god will decide everything, so don't try to change the
way things are)

 such petulance 
 
 I'm known for it.
 
there is no escape from jehovah's wrath 
 
Send him round.
 
since jesus came to show us how to live 
 
Oh Pleeeeeze. Sandals dont fit well with me.
 
plenty of examples in the bible of what happens to humans who defy jehovah 
 
I defy your false deity, me and him, mano et mano.
 
I made peace with MY God some time ago, i dont preach nor do i threaten the
Apocalypse to those that don't think the same way i do. 
If you want to preach the word of Jesus, jefuckinhoover or whatever else, do
it in the appropiate place mate.

such petulance and there is no escape from jehovah's wrath which is
understandable aftrer witnessing mankinds bloodshed of his fellow man for 2
thousand years since jesus came to show us how to live ..in fact it makes me
laugh how you think you can defy and even threaten the creator of the
universe and all the good things in it for our benefit ..what a loving and
benevolent deity ..plenty of examples in the bible of what happens to humans
who defy jehovah

none of us will get back what is in this world as it is going to be
destroyed to make way for jehovah's kingdom '' man has stumbled around like
a demented child king long enough'' 
 
You can leave me out of this, i much prefer stumbling around like a demented
child king thank you.

hhhmmm brendan your arguement is flawed in that it shows you have not
studied the bible or you would know what i mean about bible wisdom even down
to the wisdom about doing things in moderation whethrer it be eating or
exercising..have a go at the book proverbs ..and then see how you feel ..i
am not familiar with nietzsche andregarding the killing joke lyric that also
shows jaz's ignorance of bible teaching as none of us will get back what is
in this world as it is going to be destroyed to make way for jehovah's
kingdom '' man has stumbled around like a demented child king long enough''
..recognise that quote ?...although i believe i have a good command of the
english language i either have forgotten or in fact don't know what an
oxymoron is ....christendom is definitly NOT what christianity is all about
but in fact man's own perverted version of it just as jesus said would
happen when he left but jehovah in his patience and wisdom has given mankind
time to turn back to him but know's man's sinful nature will prevent him
...so he will establish HIS kingdom to save mankind from itself

No, actually, that's not what Christianity is all about at all, and 'Bible
Wisdom' is an oxymoron.

 

As Nietzsche pointed out, it's all about taking the centre of gravity out of
the here and now and putting it into some myth of Heaven and Hell.

 

SAY YOU'LL GET IT ALL BACK GET IT ALL BACK GET IT ALL BACK. 

 

Recognise the quote?

 

PS: Christianity perverts sexuality more than homosexuality. The Pope is
against effective birth control for starving AIDS-ridden Africans. And the
catholic church (amongst others) is under assault from all the cases of
priests' kiddie fiddling. You couldn't find an organisation where it was
more institutionalised.

Oh you grim bugger.  My eyes! >: reading your post.

This Summer is going to be gorgeous - I've sown my heart with my seeds.

 

if you are genuinely talking about the weather ..i'd say this unnaturally
warm for this time of year is a lull before the storm which may or may not
herald a heatwave or a washout of a summer like last year with a pleasant
autumn as consolation prize

I can roll with that SL.

Fools that fuck only for fun.

 

what utter bollocks brendan ..it's stupid statements like that that enforces
stereotyping of women and men and teaches a distorted view of sex which is
not just for recreation but the procreation of life ..it makes both men and
women feel inadequate and enforces false body image in other words porn
perverts the act of making love and destoys relationships
