wow, really?

and you don't know anything about Hinduism, the little that you do know is twisted all out of reality and context :rolleyes: But I don't see Hindu or Buddhist (or even Jewish) missionaries going out to convert whole Christian or Catholic societies...even though there would be ample literature for them to fall back on (example: Bhagvad Gita--the spoken word of Krishna the Supreme God Himself--tells Hindus to worship only Him and to spread His word), etc. Why is it just the Muslims and Christians who feel like they need to convert everyone else to their way of thinking about God? and yes, many many missionaries from various sects of Christianity have knocked on my door (and i have welcomed them and tried to debate the finer points of their religion! :lol: ) and tried to convert me. One even talked about how I can meet pretty girls at their church! :rolleyes: and you don`t know anything about catholic church. you`ve not been raised in a catholic country so your points about catholicism are as inaccurate as mine about hinduism.

but why you sleep only 4 hours?

se7en

you seem happy

i love you

me too

^10 :cool:

oh :o :o

6 :sneaky:

yeah that`s what i thought. it was made to be another movie about Jesus`s life. if you don`t believe in it, don`t watch it (and don`t diss it).

i don`t actually go to church. but anyway, they always write articles about bad things, have you ever read anything nice about missionaries? i believe there are some articles about it but you just want to know the bad side, don`t you? and if these christians kill, they`re not real christians. catholic churche doesn`t allow killing in the name of God. these christans seem more like islamis who believe in jihad.

now that`s one side of the medal, and it`s the bad one. everything and everyone has two sides. i wish you could see the other side as well. :cry: besides, it said 'the baptist church' - baptist aint catholic. :D

i admit that i don`t know about hinduism too much. we were learing about all the major religions in georgraphy last year and what i was taught is that hindu worship many gods and goddesses they see in nature (for example trees, or nature phenomenons, the stars etc, one goddess i know about is called kali - i know about her becuz that`s how my lastname starts *cough* :D ). now i`m not saying it`s bad or anything. as a christian i was taught to respect other ppl`s choices and believes.

you don't get it, do you? :rolleyes: most people are happy in their own beliefs and their own religions. and if they're not, they would read up on bible and your 'God' and then convert and not be 'pagan' anymore. I'm happy to be 'pagan' or 'heathen' and happy to go to hell according to your close-minded beliefs. but i'm sad and mad when you try and convert me or my co-religionists who don't want to hear about your 'god'... do you get it? that's why there are always these religious wars...people resent it when you tell them that what they believe in is 'false' or 'demon worship'. :angry: and i told you...bible says many other things...so why don't they follow all those things? why do they have a treaty to not try and spread the word about their 'God' to Jews? Why do they not go to Mecca and try to convert the Muslims there? some ppl don`t know there`s a thing called bible. did anyone actually tried to persuade you to become a christian? i hope you don`t think i`m trying to do that becuz i`m not. i respect your decision. nevertheless, i feel obliged to defend myself and my religion. you don`t know about it as much as i do. you seem to only concentrate on the bad stuff that comes alond with catholic church. you don`t seem to know about a lot of miracles that happened (even in the 20th century) or about catholic priests that gave their life for other ppl (like this one, i forgot his name, gave his life for someone else in auschwitz). you seem to not really know much about my religion so i don`t think it`s right that you kinda diss it. and again, the bible tells the history before Jesus was born and also tells his life`s history. psalms (i hope that`s what you call it in english) are about love and apocalypse is about the end of the world.

^7 and 10 for soleil cuz i adore conzy!!!

lol!! i actually feel like one. i mean i think i`m suffering from a thing called insomnia. i go to sleep around 11pm, wake up around 4 am, toss and turn until i finally fall asleep around 7am (!!!!!!), wake up again around 8.30 am, try hard to fall asleep again, can`t make it so finally drag myself off my bed at 9.10 am. last night i slept for 6 and a half hours. it`s now 11.30 pm and i`m not sleepy AT ALL i might be somewhat bi polar :cool:

no, not me personally. but i've read articles quoting bible to the exact reference (book, page, verse, etc.) so i know it's true that the bible allows keeping slaves and demands and gays be put to death. In fact, slavery in America continued until 1860s because the white slave-holders in the South even taught their slaves that it was correct to be owned! many white in the South felt they did no wrong in moral terms by owning slaves...because they could quote the bible on it... and no, you can't say it's all on interpretation. you have to judge people by their acts, not by what their interpretation is or what they base their acts on. Many muslims said the 9/11 terrorists weren't real muslims 'cuz Quran doesn't allow terrorism...but the fact is, all 19 terrorists thought of themselves as devout Muslims who were acting in the name of islam. Same goes to many other Christian events in history... i don`t know how har dit is to interpret koran but i do know that how hard it is to not only interpret the bible but also how har dit was to be able to read it for it was originally written in vowels (i think vowels...vowels are: a, e, i, y etc right?)

ummm yeah...when missionaries come with medicines and schools and money, and tell people how to pray and whom to pray, and to change their names and their age-old customs, then they don't have a choice. you don't see these missions in rich countries so much as you see them in poor lands...where people are easy to "harvest"...it's like Al Queda going and recruiting terrorists among the poor muslims 'cuz they are easy to brain-wash! as i said before they do it becuz the bible tells them to. some ppl in this world weren`t priviledged enough to have faith in God. acording to the bible it`s better for them to actually believe in God than remain pagan. it's simple...you're indoctrinated to think that the god of jesus, as written in bible, is the only true 'God'...all Gods of other religions are 'false' 'gods' with small 'g'... i don't mind that you believe in that, but to me, it comes off as rude and to others, it comes off as bigotry, as obviously, nobody for sure knows whose version of 'God' or whose sacret texts are 'right', so to speak... i`m not going to repeat myself in that and i`m not intoxicated by nothing. if you want to read my reply to this, please reread my quote above

:D

and i`m dying to see something`s gotta give. it`s out on march 12th in poland (the day i turn 20 and 6 months) :cool:

yeah...that's called bible-thumping, and it's very irritating to those who don't want it. bible says many other things, not just that the gospels be spread. if we all follow what the bible says, we'll be living in a completely different society where gays are killed and slaves are kept, etc... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: moreoever, Rome has explicit treaty with Israel to not send missionaries to convert the Jews. Similarly, the missionaries are not allowed into Saudi Arabia. have you ever actually read the bible to say things like that? it`s not the problem with the bible but with the interpretation of it. and hell there are many. but what i got from the bible (i`ve not read the whole thing) is that God is love and He wants us to love one another and that`s my religion, that`s what really matters to me. i don`t ever want to hate, kill,envy, destroy - i just want to give love and get love.

i hope so :D
