I'm not trying to prove anything. You're god and your entire religion are a hoax intended as nothing more than a means of controlling the ignorant (and I DO mean ****ing STUPID) masses.

And the "True King" is????????

OH I would so hate to be you after having said this. Not going to be a good day for you should Jesus decided to appear today or you not make it home from work.:nono:

Clearly you are facinated by the subject of religion and specifically Christianity or you wouldn't make it a major part of your expression each day. You are very much trying to prove Christians wrong rather than being tolerant and accepting of the fact that you live smack dab in the middle of the Bible belt among a bunch of Christians.

Why am I not surprised that Black Sabbath is Brain's fav band?

I am not tolerant of your beliefs?

and exactly when and where have I burned any witches at the stake? O that's right....christians were the only ones who did that.

Why am I not surprised that another christian made another incorrect assumption.

Black Sabbath is like 40 years old, darling.

My thoughts exactly Belle. But then I had to stop and realize that "hate" is not our calling. It's not what we are supposed to do. Our job is #1 to keep our children away from people like Brainsmashr. And #2 pray and keep faith in Christ. I hope that Brain someday realizes what he is doing to himself and to others by thinking thoughts like that.

The REAL question is what are your children doing on Saturday night.......here's a hint, it ain't Jesus.

You don't know what our children are doing on a Saturday night. Not all children are like you, anyway.

Now U R right.. More like Nancy Drew Mysteries and World of Warcraft...... But they are still young and playing their games. When their time comes, I hope they enter the world with their loins girthed with faith!! They are going to need it!

It's true that there was a time when Christians did not tolerate my kind and we barely survived our worship in secret. Even today, some Christians look at me sideways when they see my pentacle necklace. However, there are those even among modern Christianity who are more open-minded and willing to coexist with other belief systems peacefully. This board has many such people.

The fact that I can be here and peacefully discuss religion with the devout Christians on this board is proof that the Christians on this board are not the intolerant kind you are trying to label them. You, on the other hand, directly voice religion as stupid and God as non-existant with no regard for propriety or respect for others. This is intolerance.

Congratulations, but you should realize they are your children, not you, and they will not emulate your desires but rather their own.

One has to wonder if you will use the same terms to describe them or will you actually practice the tolerance you christians enjoy preaching about.....

The fact of the matter is that you DO NOT discuss your religious beliefs on this board. You have only indicated you are not christian.

What's your religion?
Who do you pray to?
What idols do you worship?
Try quoting some scripture or reciting some incantations or doing whatever it is you do that defines your beliefs.

You see, it's real easy to claim zealots are tolerant when you aren't expressing your own beliefs. Just like I can say I'm not scared of Lions when I'm not walking in the Savanna.

It is good to know that there is not a long line of people out there acting just like you rather that you are the one bad egg in the basket so to speak. You can not possibly begin to know how someone's child is going to turn out. Typically, most of the time, the children emulate what they learned and watched in their home and from their environment. There are some exceptions to this, there are children who will do different but it is not how it often goes. Yes, I have given my childen the desire to think for themselves and allow them to freely do it. They can express their own thoughts and opinions. I encourage it. They are extremely tolerant of others. They have been taught that as well. They are the most compassionate children you'll ever meet from watching their father in his profession. Don't even to begin to try and judge my children or myself because of your issues and short comings. My children are on a great path because of a home where God is at the head of the household, morals, values, and principals are taught, and they've learned to love everybody.

Brain, I hope you have a great day!

I often wondered who attended those washed up Ozz Fests....this explains alot!!:crazy:

Actually, I have revealed in one of the threads exactly what my tradition is, but you apparently haven't seen it. I normally don't discuss my religion unless someone asks. Since you did ask, I don't mind saying. I am a Pagan, a practitioner of the old Earth and Nature religion commonly associated with Wicca. If you want to know more, there's a video clip below that will give you the details.

http://www.gray-spirit.com/video.php?id=1

In short though, Pagans have a God of their own as well as a Goddess, each with their own personality traits and go by many different names. Since we have a God as well, your opinions that God is imaginery also, in a sense, applies to my religion as well.

Of course not. It's not like preachers (both legit and self proclaimed) daughters AREN'T know as being notorious party animals. In fact, a church owns the house across the street from where I grew up. How many do you think I couldn't possible know about?

LAF

Sorry to laugh at you again, but it seems like you haven't made it to your teens yet or forgot what is was like....
Of course.....and just like you, you children have never kept secrets from their parents either, right?

(Laughing at you again)

No offense Pocahontas, but maybe you should do a little research instead of wondering and drawing inaccurate conclusions.

I see, so your concept of christian tolerance is based on keeping your own mouth shut about your beliefs unless asked a direct question.

Not particularly interested, just working my way to proving a point.
I see, and since Christians say their is only 1 god and you have at least 2 different ones "of your own", then you must be of the opinion that they (christians) are wrong, correct? I mean you can't BOTH be right.

Careful now friend, this is where the bashing usually begins.....

It is ok to agree to disagree
 

I know what it is Anime believes and I am ok with that. No need to bash ! Now once the rocks start flying it is hard not to return fire. Anime I think you help bring balance to the board and so does LN and the ladies too. Brain you bring a hot fire brand each you post and yes I have had some hot post but not every single one of them by a long shot. Now the olive branch has been offered early on and you (brain) made it clear you are not on the board to make friends and Christians are scum. I have yet to see a post attacking anime for what he believes. I see his rating is very high and he is very popular with the ladies for being a gentleman. :clap:
Isaac

The reason I don't accept the olive branch from people like you is you can't keep your trap shut long enough to pay attention to what anyone else says.

And I quote from Anime's own post

"In short though, Pagans have a God of their own as well as a Goddess, each with their own personality traits and go by many different names. Since we have a God as well, your opinions that God is imaginery also, in a sense, applies to my religion as well."

Now if HE sees it as an attack against his beliefs, then why can't you? Oh that's right, you didn't read it in the Bible so it CAN'T be true.....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

BTW, he didn't start off calling me a Socialist like you or condemning me to hell like the typical christian (notice you didn't condemn him either)....in case you were wondering why you receive considerably harsher treatment.

I never condemned anybody to hell !
 

Not even you brain. You have done more name calling than anyone else on this board. You like to push everybody's buttons well have at it and when it comes back your way like tonight when Al sees what you posted to him it will not be pretty. You seem to thrive on being the fire brand of the board. Once again your choice. You make me laugh with many of your post :laugh: and others make me pity you.
Isaac

No, my opinion is NOT that Christians are wrong at all. It's not a question of being right or wrong, it a matter of simply being different. I believe in the existance of multiple deities, so I can acknowledge the existance of their God. They only worship their own God and thus know no other Gods. In this context, they are right. In a broad manner, we are both right in our own respects. Point of view grays a lot of key points, so not everything is as cut and dry as you seem to think.

The point is that we don't try to put our own beliefs over each other's, so we coexist peacefully. We accept that we each have the right to believe what we want and NO ONE has the right to say otherwise.

Do you read what you write?

No, I do not call that tolerant. In fact, I would say that you are inciting Christians here on purpose. You seem to get off on it.

Yes, but who was calling everyone a Socialist upon my arrival? Don't cry just because I'm better at it than you......why don't you try pray, that works, huh?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Sticks and stones.
Save your pity for those who live in poverty because they give every dime to the church while the preacher is molesting their children, driving a BMW and telling everyone what an awful person they are.

Kid, do you even know the definition of monotheism? Here's a hint, it's not the worship of one god amongst the many.

Monotheism
: the doctrine or belief that there is but one God.

As I indicated earlier.....your belief that zealots are tolerant stems directly from your lack of interaction with them. Remember bragging about walking away from controversial topics when someone doesn't agree with you.....well here's to the fruits of your labor
Yep, try telling Issac his god is just one in the crowd, nothing special and not any better than yours.

O that's right, you avoid controversial conversation.....I forgot.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Brainboy, you need to quit tormenting sweet Anemie. He is not jumping on us for our beliefs, therefore we don't need to do the same to him. :whip: :shoethrow: :whip:

There you go again I am laughing at a fool
 

Yes Abby sticks and stones will break my bones but words can cause you a eternity of problems :nono: I see the "Socialist" word bothers you well if the shoe fits buddy and if not it should not bother you. You started out with some vile talk and have never quit. Does it give you a buzz or make you feel above the common folk of the world ? Prayer works for those who believe and I could see why yours have not be answered. Maybe one day brain then maybe not only time can tell that one.
Isaac

Actually, it doesn't bother me at all. I am quite confident in my political beliefs as well as my non-religious beliefs. Your complaint is that I call people names.....my point is to show that I didn't start it, but I'm damn sure better at it than you.

O right, and calling people Socialist (and in essence Nazi's) isn't vile? I suppose you'd have preferred I simply turned the other cheek like Anime? Well maybe you better stick to arguing with kids in their 20's then.

Yes it does. It's called reaping what I have sown.

Ahhh, so we readily admit "the miracle" cannot be replicated with like results everytime. Prayer fails the scientific method in record breaking time (and I didn't even know it was being tested)

Looking for a scape goat in Anime wrong place Abby
 

He is so much above you level that you are not even in the same court. Oh and yes you will be reaping what you have sown :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Isaac

Looking for a scapegoat? Not all all....he's still a child as far as I'm concerned.....25 if your curious.

I'm merely showing him that his lack of desire to defend his beliefs is what has given him an extremely inaccurate view of people like you. Then I suggested that if he has any doubts to engage people like you instead of turning the other cheek as seems to be his standard response when people disagree.

I'm sure you will provide more than enough proof....all you have to do is be yourself....

Do you think it could be free because they couldn't sell any tickets? Ozzy isn't aging well and appears very addled on t.v.

Not 25, and my beliefs conclude you to be an idiot without a cause...

Actually, I don't need to defend my beliefs because I have nothing to prove to you. I get no satisfaction out of convincing you one way or the other. Now, let's take a moment to correct one of your inaccuracies. I don't "turn the other cheek" when someone disagrees. No need to. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, even though I don't always agree with them. I turn the other cheek when someone is just trying to get a rise out of me.

As for my views of people, my perception and judge of character is decent enough. It's not perfect, but it serves me well and will get better as I use it. Nothing you can say will speed this process up.

Well I REALLY wish I could find you some attendance or ticket sale numbers, however I have been unsuccessful this morning......but if you think after 12 years and with a 15 band line-up that they can't sell any tickets....that's your choice. You couldn't be any farther from the truth if you TRIED, but you are entitled to your own opinions..

BTW, are you using the quote button? Surely you've noticed by now that your attempts have been unsuccessful 100% of the time......

Seems to me your missing the point. The conversation was not about defending your beliefs to ME, but rather to zealot Christians like Isaac. In fact, I specifically stated "try telling Issac his god is just one in the crowd, nothing special and not any better than yours".

Now obviously the chances of his response being altered because of our open dialog have increased significantly, but one has to wonder why you'd change the subject in the first place, when you have so much faith your judgement of his character, but more importantly, what his response would be. Remember, he was calling folks (probably you) Socialist before my arrival.....I merely stepped in and showed everyone how the game is really played.:peace:
