Hell, if the world does end like she says, most of us (including me) are going to feel pretty stupid about it
I've no idea how the world is going to end, and hopefully it can wait until I'm already cold and in the ground. Then I won't care.

How will it all end?Follow
Oh, for heaven's sake. If you have an issue with the Christian concept of God being an "ignorant prick" or an "evil *******", take it up with God, not Kristal for daring to give her opinion honestly. She wasn't trying on convert anyone or condemn anyone; she was giving the Reader's Digest version of the Rapture which -- agree with it or not -- includes the Christian faithful going to heaven and everyone else.. umm.. not going to heaven. Don't we have enough religion bashing sessions on the forums without turning a light hearted and quasi-philosophical thread into another one?

Kristal,
Water off a duck's back, girl. The knee-jerk response by some here to your simply stated beliefs is more enlightening of their warped view of the world and ourselves than anything else. Strangely, this attitude of theirs uses a much broader paint brush than the one they accuse you of wielding, and displays a vehement close mindedness very much like the muslim fanatics blowing themselves and thousands of innocents up in a misguided and frenzied hate against their own narrow worldview.
Notice they fail to mention Mother Theresa, Pope John Paul, Billy Graham, Dr. Dobson, or any of the vast number of saintly individuals who give a stark contrast to the lie they'd have others like them believe.
Understand that there are others here who believe as you do regardless how vocal they may or may not be and that a quiet, consistent, and gentle, faith driven life is more than an adequate response to the unreasoning hatred seen here and elsewhere by those opposed to your beliefs.

I think I am the center of the universe, when I die all of you will disappear, better make sure I am ok.

I grew up a christian, but gave it up, based on a lack of evidence. So please don't say I am narrow minded, their story just wasn't believable. Also, if anything, I believe faith is good for people, and religion starts wars. I don't like to see blind acceptance of things that are so proposterous, it's simply to dangerous, like the fanatic muslims. Was this quote above mine or yours?
Oh, one other note, I would never kill anyone for their beliefs. However, I may decide to taunt them in a forum.

Yea, great guys. What is the point? Billy Graham does hog a lot of valuable air time on several channels, could we not replace him with more episodes of sindicated Simpsons.

If they stay away from my front door step, I will be more accepting.

I'm still new here, this is my first religion bashing session, I'll let the next one slide, promise.
I think it would take a lot of pollution to entirelly WASTE the whole planet, without reverting to homeostasis.
How can a virus reach every single human being on earth?
I don't think being technically advanced is a requisate for survival.
I think that humanity will wax and wane, old civilizations will fall and be replaced with new ones. Its happened before, you're naieve to think it won't happen again.
As human beings we certainly have the potential to create world peace, end hunger, colonize your ****, blah blah blah. I believe we're on the waxing end of civilization, the top of the wheel of fortune, and we won't be seeing huge progress. Perhaps our successors in the generations to come will have more luck.

Reinman,
What part of my post was not plain to you? I believe I made myself lucidly clear. However, in deference to your lack of reading comprehension I will attempt to explain my post to you.
First and foremost, the portion you initially highlighted was describing Tarv as being vehemently close minded since he specifically attacked Kristal for doing nothing more than briefly stating her beliefs. He then went on to include a grossly inaccurate list of actions which he apparently thinks are acceptable to Christians and then had the audacity to blame her for being narrow minded. So, in response to your first point, my post was not aimed at you. Your faith or lack of it is immaterial to the discussion.
Next, you airheadedly missed my point when I offered as living proof (except for Mother T.) of individuals who exemplify the Christian life in direct contradiction to the blanket statement frequently hear about liars, hypocrites, and con men.
Thirdly, Kristal never approached your doorstep. She simply mentioned what she believed on an open access message board. If this place is what you consider your doorstep, you need to get out in the sun a little bit more.
And lastly, nobody is holding you to your promise. If you choose to go after someone, so be it. And that is as it should be for an anonymous OoT board. But understand most of us here have a low tolerance for low reading and comprehension skills, uninformed opinions, and unfunny bullsh1t. If you tend towards any of these attributes, then I suggest you hire a comedic writer, because that's the only thing that'll save you.*

Well then I apologize, I certainly thought that it was. Some of what you said applied to what I had said.
Quote:

You can't call me narrow minded if I grew up within the community, can you? That is why I included this. I would never mention religion, or any of my views on it, unless I was asked, or if it was supporting something else that I was saying, which it was. You pointed out that you were not having a go at me, so this is now immaterial.

My grammer and spelling are terrible, but does this mean that these people prove that all christians are not liars, hypocrites, and con men? I must of missed that, I didn't see that anyone said this. Why state the obvious?

Oh, get over yourself! Is this a threat, or just a warning. Are you looking out for my best interests? Well, thanks for the tip.
Thankyou to Jophiel and Totem for your maturity:)

Given the subject of this thread, it's scarcely believable nobody's referenced a certain Robert Frost poem.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Personally, I'm gonna go with 'Ice'. I had a Slurpee earlier today. Swear to God, I thought I was gonna fookin' die! I could literally hear the water crystallizing on the back of my eyeballs.

I too live a quiet consistent and gentle family <see the subtle change there> driven life with out condeming people who choose to live differently to 'Hell' because they spend there days off differently to me.
The Only time i have an issue with Christians is when they act all superior to me, as though thier faith in some way makes them a better person.
Have faith, worship some 2000 year old guy that may never have exsisted but don't think your a better human being because of it.
End of my posts on this topic. <apart fromn Totem elaboration if he does one,[quote][/quote] that sure didn't make sence to me.>
Since I wasn't the only one who didn't get this.
Who is they? The infidels who try and desecrate the Christian religion?
I really didn't get either of these. There is no need for name calling. Does this say the same thing as what you were saying
Next, you airheadedly missed my point when I offered as living proof (except for Mother T.) of individuals who exemplify the Christian life in direct contradiction to the accusations made against christians, that they are liars, hypocrites, and con men.

Bah. ***** that. Mine was more helpful by a factor of 10, simply because it does more to prepare you for what staying here will be like. Those polite bastards (and they always are, trust me.) are trying to scam for a shot of your tits.
how about everybody shut the hell up about the christain thing damnit!

Hey, watch it you two, Totem says humor won't be tolerated.
It will end when Marvin the Martian finally gets his Illudium (sp) Q-36 Space Modulator fired up... since we obstruct his view of Jupiter.
