here is a quote from biblical scriputre that may shed light on the evernts yesterday
revelation 18:9- 9 "When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: "`Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'
11 "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more--
12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;
13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
14 "They will say, `The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.'
15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn
16 and cry out: "`Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' "Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off.
18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, `Was there ever a city like this great city?'
19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: "`Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.'"
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.
22 The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."
Chirstians do not hate homosexuals, muslims, or any other human being, its the other way around, why do you hate us christians, I love you all, homosexuals, muslims, africans, jewish, handicapped, all of you.. why do you hate us and label us?? I feel your hate and it is sad, that you think it is justifed, you are the the type who indulge in terrorist activities.

why is it justified to mock the christian beliefs, why do you not mock the muslims, or budists? do you hate them also? If a musilme quoted a piece of the Karan (SP) would you respond to him in hatred.. I am just curios I am not trying to piss you off.. just curious is all..

are you retarded?
at one point i said "that's why people hate you, because you push this shit on others."
and i said that "if someone wants to go to church, fine, i have no problem with that, but when it's pushed on me, that's when i get annoyed."
you're making it looks like everyone hates christians. where the hell do you get this from? what world are you from? i don't see alot of oppression against christians here in north america.

well thanks to human and societys evolutions thought the past thousands and thousands of years, we've made up our basic laws from common sense. killing someone is obviously wrong. stealing is obviously wrong. society needs basic rules for it to function. if you're allowed to kill and steal as you want, there is no order. no order = chaos.

well in some countries they would disagree with you, when did people figure out, killing, stealing, rape and what not was wrong? did it happn one time, and everyone was like.. hmm what was that, or was it known immedialty it was wrong.. or maybe things you know before hand are wrong but do anyways are the real wrongs... my point being, in my beliefs that God gave us the basic laws of right and wrong, he had to of, or there would be total chaos... if ever one did as he or she thought was right or wrong total choas would definetly come into play. if as you say we evolved into these beliefs then why is there sitll evil in this world why havent we evloved past it? especially if we have been here for billions of years.. why?? well because of sin thats why.. we are all evil and without God as far as im concerend we can do nothing but wrong... not that im perfect, I still fall into sin a lot I am not perfect, but I wish I could be.. though I never will be...

well like i said, without order you have chaos. how do you have order? you have laws. it's that simple. sure there's still evil i suppose. stealing is wrong. that never stopped me before. people steal because getting shit for free rocks. and people fly airplanes into buildings because their religious beleifs are different, and the perceptions are skewed from the media around them and the people around them.
how could humans possibly even being to pretend that they know the biggest secret in the world? and why are christians right and muslims or hindus or buddists wrong?
fuck! where are my smokes.

Oh, person, is it possible to consider that 'doing harm unto others' is wrong? That's fairly clear cut, how do you know if I was told that by god, or by lawmakers? I don't think you do... I think right and wrong is a universal standard be it religious or moral or whatever...

Ya I was actually on joyrex way before I even found out about this site. When he had the old black interface...at that point I was really into getting aphex info though, now I'm somewhat more into this board. I kinda like this board better thatn joyrex's...more relaxed and more like an instant message between people...can't explain it. I haven't been on ICQ just because I haven't really been doing that whole chat thing, which is Ironic because I'm talking on a message board right now. I'll come on soon, I'll use trillian which combines AIM and ICQ.

im with barrett, syd on this one, hehehe.
just coz he hates this shit (and maybe overacts) doesnt mean he needs anger treatment, or wants to kill anyone.
my sister went on a field trip at night with a local youth group and she was quite scared coz a bunch of people went a bit god mad, they were moaning and throwing their hands about and looking "like they were on heroin or somehting" to quote my sister. she prolly freaked a bit also coz i, in jest, told her that christianity is known for paedophiles and child sex etc....
(cmon i was only mucking around when i said that shit)
just goes to show ya that ANYONE can be sick, religious or no.

look, i know it is some people's answer to go to the lord, but it is not mine. i am sorry, i am agnostic and all, but you can't try to force feed me your bible scripture, it will just turn me off all them more.

is a christian someone who bombs an abortion clinic? or murders an obstetrician who performs some abortions? or throws a bomb into a jewish temple? or murders a homosexual? or burns a cross on the lawn of people of minority race? or tortures and murders an individual who will not convert? you say of course not, a "true" christian would not do any of these things. yet historically they all have been done in the name of christianity. indeed, christians cannot even agree on what is a "true" christian, and they argue persistently about what it is that god wants of them. but have you noticed that christians are only forgiven, they are not made better people or made less hypocritical because of their faith. have you noticed that many many christians have embraced capitalism and the systematic accumulation of wealth? seems to me that christianity represents a near infinite capacity for rationalization of unchristian acts. maybe this sheds some light on why i am not interested in becoming a christian. i simply don't believe in christian mythology. even though jesus is one of my heroes (i'm not joking), christianity was created by humans for humans. your faith is yours, keep it to yourself if you need it. strive to make yourself a better person, but don't lie to yourself and think that you are a better person simply because you have embraced these beliefs. lastly, what are the limits of your belief?
