Well it depends but overall yes I think so, just because you don't go round preaching doesn't mean you don't believe, and look how the muslims behave terrorising people for what they believe i'm sure what ever their religion involves doesn't include killing innocent people but they still do it. I don't profess to know anything about religion other than what ive been taught by my mother and schooling about god and Christianity some people take their beliefs to the extreme others hide behind it to engage in evil acts and some such as I choose to believe and worship privately in my own way. In my life I have sinned and still do but on judgement day I will answer to them, until then I will carry on believing in what I believe and doing what I do, I don't believe smoking weed is a sin taking a life is a sin and I haven't done that yet, but hey theirs still time

Sooo...Muslims terrorize and some Christians take their beliefs to extremes??? Hmmm??? I think Christ & Mohammed are great coaches but many of the players on both teams suck...FWIW

Yes you are absolutely right that's why I prefer to practice my religion in my own way privately, that way I don't hurt anyone or need to justify what I believe in to anyone else if everyone did it that way wouldn't the world be a peaceful place.

I agree, our denominations should be a private thing. Yet if we do decide to talk about them to anyone, we should do it with the understanding that every single one of our beliefs have the possibility of being wrong. That way we can share our ideas harmlessly with curiosity and willingness to learn about others, rather than sharing our unquestionable beliefs getting angered when someone attempts to examine their said beliefs.

It is much easier to share an idea, than to share a belief. I think it's ok to have beliefs, just as long as you don't go around trying to tell someone that your beliefs are the right ones, because for all you know it could be completely different.

It's easier to talk to someone when they say "i think this is the way it is" rather than someone who says "i KNOW this is the way it is".

....because we know... that you don't know lol. It's ok to tell yourself you do, just don't try to do it to others.

Just look around u...humans are the only thing on this planet that doesn't belong....period

go back several thousands of years ( yes the world is more than a few thousand years old ,despite what Christians believe ) and you would see humans look like they 'fit in' , covered in hair and living very differently than they do today.

And if so, how do you justify it since according to Christians marijuana is a temptation from the Devil.

i'm a Christian and i've never heard of such a thing lol. i tried googling the bolded text and the results kind of made me laugh a little bit.

where exactly did you learn marijuana is a temptation from the devil? i'm curious..

Geez you stupid.

Ideologue doesn't mean you're not open to ideas, it's means you're u compromising in your beliefs.

An adherent of an ideology, esp. one who is uncompromising and dogmatic: "

and dogmatic

Inclined to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true: "he gives his opinion without trying to be dogmatic".

www.thefreedictionary.com/incontrovertiblyin·con·tro·vert·i·ble ( n-k n tr -vûr t -b l, n k n-). adj. Impossible to dispute; unquestionable

see, that's my point. You speak as if every word you say is true, even when you are wrong. That's makes it impossible to have a conversation. So when I called you an idealouge, I wasn't saying that you are just an slave to an ideology, I was saying you're uncompromising in your beliefs, with principles you believe to be factually true, and you've never even taken the time to question your own beliefs because to you they are facts.

See, just calling you an idealouge was way easier.

^ all that. I'm pretty sure you missed the point so I basically added that for everyone else to read.

Back to you and your factual opinions that you are wrong about again (similar to the whole Telsa fiasco you subjugated yourself too).

genesis is more than just a book in the Judaic tradition dumbass (excuse me for the name calling everyone but I'm being provoked).

Genesis | Easy to understand definition of genesis by Your Dictionary
www.yourdictionary.com › Dictionary Definitions
An example of a genesis is when a project starts.


Im sure even you can understand that now, my name means, the beginning of a new project. Why else would someone who's never been on this board now suddenly be on this board at the end of winter months?


First thing you thought, is that in my assumed Christian beliefs I have (lol btw), that I'd find the book of Genesis to base my faith on. Lol. And name myself after that book.

If I called myself ProgressiveGrower would you assume I was an weed insurance salesman?

Man, please stop. I can only laugh at you so much before it becomes rude.

"the whole Telsa fiasco you subjugated yourself too"

so,, a factual error on a minor tangential point, which was in fact simply transposing one guy with the other is now a "fiasco"? the error was pointed out and i proffered a correction long before you climbed up on your soapbox and decided to bleat about how this one simple error means im an "ideologue"

FYI i am not impossible to sway from my beliefs, it's just impossible for YOU to sway me because you're a moron.

you probably forgot in all your misdirections straw men and red herrings, that the issue at hand is your belief that ancient peoples mistaken beliefs are somehow comparable to midern willful ignorance (the act of ignoring) of people like you who cling to fallacies and spread them like a plague insisting all accept YOUR interpretation of everything or shut up and go away.

your shabby explanation of your login ID's origin in greek linguistics is shamefully transparent.

unless you're the type of clown who struts around in black clothes, pentagrams, a Lucfer Rules T-shirt, and eyeliner, waving the Satanic Bible around, in front of a cathedral every sunday daring anyone to challenge you, so you can scream in their face about how your really a Zen Buddhist...

yeah i reckon thats you.
