So you are for war against other people, and you would kill a man. I rest my case.

 

Go rest away, I'm not stopping you.


There is a thing called satire, I'm guessing your brain can't comprehend that.

 

After all this, how I am supose to know that you are being satiric.

 

beats the fuck outta me, i cant tell whats goin on in your head

I would love to see christianity as an organised religion pursed from the earth, and to see the flames rise to the heavens as not a single church remains uncharred, not a single church survives the total annihilation of the biggest conspiracy this world has ever known.

(well except for the pretty churches because those are nice and I like walking in them and enjoying the architecture and art)

HOWEVER!

Though I don't think that God exists and force-fed religion is undeniably harmful, to me Jesus of Nazareth as a person (no matter if he ever really existed) symbolises what this life is all about, or should be about: sharing with each other, caring about and for each other, loving each other. He even paid with his life for this, for not fitting in with the rest (dropping the "Jesus died for our sins" story here, not my cup of worship). The human Jesus inspires me more than I tend to confess even to myself.

Plus, he's hawt.

Edit: oh, by the way, I tend to mock my idols. So I'm not going all pious all of a sudden or anything. ^_^

 

i think if you are nice to people and do good things in this life, then you will go somewhere good when you die, if there is an afterlife at all

 

Jesus was the original hippy. What a G... He preached that God was in everything, and in ourselves. I think he meant that happiness and peace come within and each person has the power to seek the God within themselves. People just have to beleive that they are being watched and controled and protected by someone, so they came up with the notion that God was a being higher than them and almighty. i think religion is for weak-minded (for lack of a better word) people who don't want to or cannot find peace and happiness within themselves.

 

jesus was cool, but christianity? NOTHING BUT SELF-DENIAL

 

if you stop taking the bible literally and selectively listen to what jesus says (i disagree with some things) then hey its cool, but uh, thats definitley not christianity.

 

I think youre close, but a bit backwards . . . . in my opinion, the original hippy movement had a couple major influences. one of which was the world was basically run by a bunch of "christians" who really didnt follow any of the teachings of christ. young people began to open thier minds and find the truth. they were quickly infiltrated by drugs, fake gurus, and radical ideaologies. the combination of what they were bombarded with after they began to split, brought them quickly back into the devils world, and its poisons are more prevelant in the modern hippy movement, then the underlying ideals of truth and harmony.

 

My best friend fits every gay hippy steriotype, yet he is a bohemian christian breeder.

I think Jesus was a cool guy. I just don't believe in actually worshiping anyone.

 

I'm new at being a hippy but, I guessing that Juess was really just a caring person that started a revolution of a new religion. But at the time Juess didn't know what was going on for the fact that he smoke some..."grass." But the religion that he started "Christianity" is now tought to people as if it was all true. But we might never know in our life span, except we can all just be caring like Jesus and then we'll see what happens. Or Jesus was just a really big role model.

 

you know what? there's more evidence that he existed than any of the roman emporers yet they teach you about them at school.

 

As long as we know there was a movement that involved the message of peace and love, it doesnt matter who exactly jesus was or if he existed at all.

 

so when did Christianity begin?

First, the Old Testament doesn't speak of Christianity at all, since it pre-dates the birth of Christ. Second, nowhere in the Bible does Christ advocate the killing of anyone, Christian or non-Christian. The Crusades, the witch hunts, and every other atrocity commited in God's name by members of every religion are bastardizations of God's message. Please don't confuse the organized church and the flawed practice of religion by mankind with the message God has been trying to get through since our race first climbed down from the trees. And in defense of the Catholic church (something I will rarely do), even they, by doctrine, now believe that salvation is possible for people of all faith and even atheists, provided they do good in life (per Vatican II).
