Tell us then, oh ultra-rightwinged conservative One, what IS the exact definition of christianity?
One who follows the teachings of Christ. These teachings boil down to: Love one another, because He loved you. Teach others the same. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Do you have the guts to tell all of them that they are not Christians because they don't follow YOUR idea of what Christians are?
Might not be a bad idea. Knock some sense into them. Of course, some of them might be using the religion as an excuse to kill, instead of as the reason, in which case rational discussion is impossible, but it varies from person to person.

Like I keep saying... there AREN'T any Christians.

God won't. In fact, I think Christ used that exact analogy...

What does TBN stand for? THE BULLSHIT NETWORK? books don't cause cancer. microwaves ovens do, and sniffin stuff that you shouldn't be sniffin.
BURN POKEMON!!!! SEND THEM BACK TO SATAN!!! HE CREATED THEM TO TURN KIDS AWAY FROM GOOD STUFF!! LIKE PLAYING WITH FIRE, now theres a lost art if there ever was one. who would let thier kids watch a show where they put little animals into tiny balls, and take em out of those horrid things only to have them fight each other. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!!! it was only after pokemon that i saw a story on the news about a kid who put his dog in a BBQ and roasted it alive.

Dead thread BUT...
I went to a Catholic school. I went in an atheist. I came out an atheist.
I have seen and interacted with just about every type of 'Christian' that there is. Being a Christian, is by definition, impossible.
I'm reminded of Ned Flanders' plea to God:
"I've done everything the Bible says. Even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff!"
It continues to amaze me that anybody with enough decision making ability to drive a car can gloss over the libraries of contradictions and boldfaced bullshit in the Bible and in those that profess to follow it.
Arghhh....I was in a pretty good mood before this thread...goddamnit.

Contradictions? You mean the ones I pounded into the ground here?

You know, if I find that points to the "contradictons in the bible" thread, I will burst out laughing.
'I'm reminded of Ned Flanders' plea to God:

Quoting the Simpsons does not prove your point. And, if my memory was working, I'd quote that line Kira once said about faith as a counter-argument. But I isn't, so I can't, so I won't.
But, if you are going to argue against the bible/christianity/magical fairies, saying "ooh, why do you believe that crap? It's all rubbish. I don't believe it, because I am superior" does not actually count as an argument.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
