Hippies and christianity

Please get your god-humping out of this forum. This shit gets annoying and there is a forum or two for this crap.

 

HAHAHAH, that wasn't brutal or anything.

 

Chuck, Jesus loves you!

Hey guys, let's all give Chuck a big, warm Bible-hug!!!
**Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya. Kumbaya, my lord, Kumbaya...**

 

Yeah, Chuck. Jesus LOVES you!


Come over here with me... Jesus' bed is always warm. LMFAO!

 

Jesus had hippy-qualitys but i dont think he was streight up hippy, although i would love to sit around a bong with him. I dont know much about buddah so i cant say much about him but to me gandi stands out to be someone who started a hippy movement, pasave resestance man, thats peacefull!

Most Christian denominations nowadays have turned into something that I don't think Jesus wanted them to be. That's why as soon as I'm out on my own, I'm going to join a Quaker church. They're big advocates of homosexuals and African Americans and countless other minority groups, and they don't believe in vengenance. In fact, it's like a guideline or something that you shouldn't strike back against your enemy.

As for Jesus being the original hippie, in a sense, but according to today's and the 60s's standards, no.

 

We'll of course he wasn't a real hippie, I was just saying that I think he and all his friends lived similar ways as hippies did, and I think the messages he was sending to humanity were similar. That's all.

 

Haha, no. My butthole is exit only.

Why the hell do you even need religion if you don't agree with what they do? Are you so weak-minded that you can't even think for yourself?

 

Why are you so hostile? Take something relaxing....and relaxe

 

I am always relaxed, but I hate religion. I hate no religion more than the Christian religion. Religion is the reason for ALL wars. Religion preaches hate, except for Buddhism and many Pagan denominations, which are the only religions I respect.

 

Well, you can't be relaxed, and hate at the same time. Get rid of this hate.
We are not talking about church or christians. We are talking about Jesus as a person here, not the mistakes of his followers. This is not a religious topic. We are not discussing the 2000 year old religion of christianity. We are discussing Jesus as a man who had some nice ideas. You can't blaim Jesus for christianity. You should blaim
medival priests and centuries of mindless distortion of the original ideas.

 

I'm anti-ORGANIZED Relegeon. (SP).
This website is succesful, and you & me can have a pleasant conversation.
The organized relegeons seem to be, "You don't believe in the same GOD that I do. You're BAD!"
Who's right???

 

Hey now...I consider myself religious. Although I'm not Christian, I don't like it when people mock religion as a whole. It can be very comforting to some people, and everyone has some area of their lives where they have a weakness. I don't, however, consider wanting emotional comfort to be a weakness. If you were truly secure in your beliefs (or non-beliefs), you would have no desire to mock those who are different from you. Just ignore the preachy ones, and let the rest of them be...**Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be...Whisper words of wisdom, let it be** (Sorry, I haven't listened to the Beatles in awhile--I'm starting to go through withdrawl )

 

I don't think Jesus was the peace loving guy everyone supposed him to be these days. Remember: He went to the moneypeople and smashed money round. He was very radical. No women in his movement for example. Today we read about "Jesus Light". In his days he was more radical. He blieved that you have to die if you got divorced and things like that (heard it first time in church).
Jesus ate meat. By the way I don't believe that neither christianity (as jesus wanted it) nor hippie is a better live style. Everything that is radical or a group can't be good.

 

That's actually not true. Jesus DID have female desciples, and women even wrote books in the new testament, but they were left out because when the new testament was put together, it was put together by men (go figure). You may also find it interesting to note that there is evidence that Jesus went to India for a period in his life and learned about Buddhism (ever wonder what he did from the age of 12 to the age of 29 when the Bible conveniently skips over that part of his life?).

 

Dude, read up on your Christianity. It was God that wanted people to die for their sins, not Jesus.

Weren't his sister and mother big advocates? I know it's family and they probably felt obligated, but they're women all the same.

 

Yes, I am very weak-minded. In fact, the government controls my brain...

Religion isn't something I NEED. It's apart of me, and it's something that I can believe in. Believe me, I know both the good and the bad of Christianity. My dad preaches to me all the time, and then I go and find out if what he's saying is true. But, when there is something I can do about the bad (such as protesting for gay rights and being pro-choice), then I like to focus on the good.

Just so I don't offend you any further, I'm not trying to preach and I'm NOT trying to convert you. You are who you are, and I respect the fact that you have different views.

 

Jesus got angry to see them turning the praying place to a market place. Of course, making a mess on the marketplace was not a best thing to do, but he was a human being. He was hurt, and he was sad to see that, so he snaped.

But come one, he taught people to turn the other cheek to people that hit them in the cheek. Hippies gave flowers to people that wanted them dead and hit them with police sticks. Jesus never judged anyone. He never said a single word to the porstitute woman (Magdalena) about her sins, he just defended her from rocks.

He actually encouraged fishing, and toled his followers to eat fish.

And about the death-for-sins-god-thing , this is a proof that old testament is as wise and authentic as Viking religion, and trolls.

 

Kate, you're so right.
No one understands that he was in India at this time.

Also, alpha, Mary Magdalen wasn't a prosititute.
