it's too late to ready all of it, but who's buying it? |
||||||||
|
|

Buddhists fucking rule, man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Hot damn, that's positively heartwarming. Beats my one-less-night-in-the-pub 30 squids anyway. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
That's really quite impressive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is impressive, but its also logical and pretty straight foward. I garuntee that no christians are willing to sell their church to help others, if they do, then they are doing exactly what jesus would do. Any christian church that isn't sold, is fucking hippocritical and going against Jesus' teachings imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Christians believe that the church belongs to god, and that it is not in their right to sell it. At least, thats the idea. Buddhists believe nothing really exists... how can you sell nothing? You can if your a buddhist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right, let's all sell our houses because it's logical and pretty straightforward. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nothing say's i love you like a buddhist temple. |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beats me? i just decided to mess around with adobe to refresh my memory on it's basic animation properties. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, fair enough :) at first i thought it was someone rolling a spliff, then i thought a hand blocking a vein to the heart in the background, then confusion! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats not what i said. thanks for putting words into my mouth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or perhaps i'm just suffering from an identity crises? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that'd made 2 of you then, or is it 3, or... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's a very nice thing to do, but who is going to buy it? it hasn't been sold yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, why does such a positive thing have to have such a negative title as a thread? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because positives and negatives attract |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because I want to put down evangelists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's mass genocide!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know that's not what you said. It is what I said, so if any words are present in your mouth they were put there by yourself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fair 'nuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
So let's not just sell our houses, but donate them to the now homeless people in Asia! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would be easier to buy them plane tickets to come live with us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
VERY true. I think I'll donate to build those buddhists a new one :D |
||||||||

Actually, a lot of historic churches have sold off their "luxurious" stuff, like gold crosses, gem encrusted chalices, etc. to raise money for the poor, in recent years. As to selling the building, a nice gesture, but it seems a bit strange. Re-mortgaging it would make more sense to me (they'd have to have somewhere else to worship anyway, unless someone in the church/mosque/whatever has a massive house). My company just donated £100,000. Not bad for a bunch of capitalist pigs, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's kind, but i don't see why churches would have to own stuff like gold anyway, doesn't sound very christian. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Yes, some of them realised the same, thankfully... It's a hangover from the old Roman Catholic church when it was more powerful than the state in a lot of places. In the UK, most broke away to become Anglican, but still kept a lot of Roman Catholic style architecture, gold, stained glass windows, etc. general excess. Go to an italian, greek or spanish cathedral if you want to see real excess. Gold leaf on everything! |
||||||||

|
they dont need a 'place' to worship. God will hear them no matter where they pray. Let them gather in a park or something. If their faith was strong they wouldn't need a church to emphasize their religion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've been to italian and spanish churches. the main church in venice is a good example of that excess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people need to forget about god and get realistic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Some faiths actively encourage "congreagations". If you have nowhere to gather, how does that work? |
