Are there ANY Christians on RIU?

Agreed, differences of opinion or belief need not get ugly.
No one wins or learns anything when your mind is closed in CQB.

And, may I have my change in Pa'anga please. :cool:
Sorry but the Klingon Bank closed early.
(I looked up Pa'anga but imo it's cooler this way.) cn

...people can do whatever they want to do with their own time and money. The hours belong to them, as does the cash. I'd love to see the art of cathedral building made new. Anyone who has a problem with that does not understand architecture.

Good day :)
No one is campaigning to tell people what to do with their time and money. The comment simply asks you to think about the loss of potential due to senseless unsupported convictions. Much the same thing could be said about Bigfoot or cold fusion, but on a much, much smaller scale of course. While another cathedral may be desirable, is it the most pressing issues we face? Do you think it's possible that some people, if they were not convinced these senseless acts were divinely mandated, would work on something that would directly reduce suffering in the world?

God is all the time needing money and begging from his neighbors, meanwhile he always has the nicest house on the block. I never see his electric getting shut off. - young Heisenberg

This is what I chose to do to better find my nook... It isn't at all what the Christian faith has to do, or is doing to "keep our numbers up" though... Wow! I guess u guys won't ever take me seriously, or take me with tolerance and open arms, as a fellow-grower, just because of my faith... Thatz ok... I will stand alone all day long... I attend a non-denominational church, and am as norml as any1, Christian or not... Make fun all u want... It actually means something to me... Mabye not to everyone who does it, but it does to me... If being on RIU is what we have to do to keep the numbers of growers up, I suppose I could say to join up and be stomped on and made light of for your beliefs... Why is there even a forum for spirituality, when all it is is a lion's den for anyone who claims to be a Christian? I really don't get it... Thanks alot kitty...
Fear not. While I am not a believer myself, I have no reason or inclination to show you inferior hospitality. cn

Am I supposed to care how narrow minded atheists view me? ... Its like you have this code of conduct of science and maturity, maybe you should let some insults fly, could be a good stress relief, it would be healthy for the soul.... xD the soul
Your comment suggest that you don't care what anyone's view of you is, as anyone reading it is open to the irony and error, not just atheists. Calling someone simple while failing to spell it correctly is a reflection of you, not the reader. Insulting someone while demonstrating that very insult yourself is stupid by any standard.

And you obviously care what atheists think or else you wouldn't spend so much time whining about how you're not accepted here. You want to constantly be eating your cake yet still have it sitting on the table. You don't care enough about your own words to pay attention to them, yet you demand others do and then belittle them for it, unless they agree.

The faults you find in others are a reflection of the things you dislike about yourself.

Nice to see you Oly. I hope your absence from the forums is because you have some good things going on in your life. The school thing should be happening in the fall.

My comment from young Heisenberg was just a comedic observation. I didn't always have an ultimate point back then. ;)

Cool... glad you getting into school man...

yeah, school has been hectic... im almost graduating so i cant really fumble much and plus i am hoping to apply to grad school or physical therapy school next summer so i cant really waste time anymore, and there was just too much hate going on around here... i realized it was not for me, so i gave some time to cool off... hopefully it did...

if you've met anyone who thinks Life and Love are sacred, anyone who thinks that the rulers of the Earth are actually our children(many parents' reason for getting up in the morning and putting any effort into anything) and not powerful adult men and women with fancy crowns, gowns, jewels, or stuffed suits, then you've met a true Christian. Christianity is a set of values and beliefs set in an esoteric message. There is a major complexity to it that defies some of the deepest intellects. There is also an extremely simplicity in it that just says be righteous in your actions and your experience deserves Heaven. that God is Everything Natural, and Jesus is the sacred Creative Force in the Universe, and the Devil is the Destructive Force in the Universe. Heaven, God, Jesus, and the Devil are the Christian language's reference to the forces of Nature, so they are present in every science, and every religion. The Bible is our Holy Book because it is our book of life. Book of life as in the experiences of Historical reference of humanity that teach values that we in our short time haven't experienced but still need to learn from. Many people don't understand, when they call us out as imperfect, or call us hypocrites. The whole point is that we will never bow down to a living man and call him "Lord" because our Lord in the physical flesh went to heaven centuries ago. The whole point is that we will never be perfect, or expect someone else to be perfect, because according to the Bible, there was only one perfect person - ever - and humanity fucked it up big time. Feel free to point out my flaws. If you want to say that my sins make me a hypocrite as a christian - Feel free. I never said I was perfect. Just trying to be the best I can with what i got. I never expect anyone else to be perfect either. We are just supposed to try our best. Reason being, because we are trying to make the best conditions possible for the return of the Lord. To make the best possible conditions for the return of the Creative Force. to make the best possible conditions for the Next Generation. It will then be their responsibility to take on the task to prepare again...and it goes on an infinite cycle....Its just a message to Nurture Love to the fullest extent. Feel free to point out any Christians who don't do this perfectly. I'll apologize on our behalf and remind you that not anyone living on Earth is perfect. There are planty of nations that will worship a living being in a position of royalty. Christianity safeguards against this. It is unfortunate there are christian cults out there, evangelists and their flocks. that isn't christanity, thats a foolish show of foolish people. Those groups don't last a century or two, but the message to nurture Love does. anything that isn't in the process of creating, will just die off without a trace. The point is to contribute to the sacred creative force which somehow, in this dimension is directly intertwined with this great thing called love. whether its an animal, human, plant, whatever it is.

All I see is a bunch of God-bashing, monkey-metamorphisis, space alien, crazy-ass beliefs, on here, and being a minister of the Universal Life Church, I'm almost tempted to roll up shop and go elsewhere... Just wondering... Little bit of a check here.... I am tolerant of anyones beliefs, but there is a great in-tolerance of anything Christian I ever say when people talk about their far-fetched, man-made, dreamed up concoctions of science and sci-fi, and whatever... Whatever happenned to just believing that Christ died for our sins, and that God created everything, including cannabis, which is clearly pointed out, and spoken HIGHLY of many times in The Bible? Anyone? Seriously, anyone?
the biological diversity we witness in humans today is impossible given two humans in the garden of eden 6k years ago.

this means that original sin is a myth, making the crucifixion of jesus a pointless exercise in futility, since original sin is completely and demonstrably impossible.

lol, u mad bro?

All christians and followers of the false god will be thrown in to the pits of hell. Hope your happy following the morning star, master of deception.. May you gnash your teeth in peace.

don't take this as me being mean to christians, take this as a challenge to your beliefs, as beliefs unchallenged are weak beliefs.

so, a talking snake gives a magic apple to a rib woman, a floating ether impregnates a human female, who then gives birth to a zombie that can defy physics, and this seems like not only an appealing story to believe in, but infallible as it is the word of god?

wow, just wow.

Alrighty then... I dont push it on anyone guy... Im fairly certain that if u read the Bible, and go back to the Hebrew texts, u will see that using kaneh-bosm, or cannabis is not a sin, and wont land one in hell... But thanks for trying to guess where my soul will end up when I die... I aint got any hate for u either, I just think that if everyone can say their piece on my Lord and Saviour, then I am also entitled to say my piece back... Imo definately keep it green, and happy, and believe what I feel convicted to believe, and live my life by... I was just asking for MY fellow Christian pot-heads to answer my call, and I see I am not alone... Read up on the Universal Life Church, and The Bible and cannabis... Just sayin... Not pushin... I didn't make this stuff up...

That is very interesting and I would be thrilled to know more. I'm not a Christian myself. I'm an apostate and atheist, but I have grown out of bashing. I would love to have a biblical precedent to convince some of my family members that it is not a sin to toke. If you enjoy sharing such things please do.

"faith" is some of the best spin room work ever done in the history of mankind.

i sleep better at night knowing that my "faith" is placed in the same thing that landed us on the moon, cures diseases, and makes 4 hour internet fap sessions available at the click of a gadget.

You are in the early stages of atheism. Dawkins is brilliant, but relax. Life is better when you have more friends.

Catholic here. Don't let the haters get you down.

It's my observation that atheists seem to be the biggest religious zealots out there.
