what the hell, thats crazy! where is this at a college campus?





well religion is one of the things i learned not to openly share my opinion about. I have a buddy with a turbo crx that i work on for him and he gets his panties in a serious knot about religion. he told me the other day that if you dont belive in God your dumb. I wanted to kick his teeth in but instead i just thought about ******* my g/f when i got home to defer my violent thoughts.





i dont know alot of the people in here but i myself was raised catholic however now dont go to church or practice any type of religious beliefs. other than when almost dying say "dont let me die God"



haha.



so ill just wait for others until i attempt to "discuss'



hehe

if your friend is a serious catholic, ask him if he believes in dinosaurs. true 100% catholics can't believe in dinosaurs because they dont believe the world/universe is that old. i was raised catholic, and went to private school from pre-k to 8th grade. i believe in some form of higher being i guess, but religion is all bullshit, catholicism is so backwards its funny at times.



try searching for a hardcore catholic website, the stuff they're forcefed to believe is great.

Why do you think catholics can't believe in dinosaurs? They're mentioned in the bible at the end of Job, and there's a whole bunch of references to dragons. It's also arguable that the bible supports an old earth (15bn year) point of view, it certainly doesn't contradict it.

Many people take the bible literally and get distracted from the message. The bible is not a chronologically accurate account of the history of the world, and it does not need to be.



Every civilization on this earth has developed a religion. The acknowledgment of a higher power is one of the hallmarks of an intelligent man. You are not God.



Peculiar traditions and dogma aside, the primary focus of religion--or at least, of Christianity--is love. Respect for others. Forgiveness. That's not a bad thing.

I'm not for a minute defending the Catholic Church. Churches have often used religion as a justification for wrongdoing in pursuit of self-serving goals. That fact ultimately has nothing to do with, and does not invalidate the whole of Christianity.

i dont feel like debating religion, it makes me sick, basically religion is a sham.



just something for people to turn to when they feel down or threatened or whatever. so its alright if it helps those people out but the brainwashing and denial of scientific data is just stupid.
