Yeah, I know whatcha mean man. It\'s tough for a pastor to talk about tithes and offerings. But you have to admit man; it takes money to do much around this world. I hate greed, but if I feel it\'s for a worthy cause, I give it up (especially if it helps people).

No offense, but man, do you seriously think a piece of stone carved as a fat man can help you?

And before you jump to the \'Cant see God so how is he real thing\' God is real, he is spiritual ie, he is in another realm, a spiritual realm.

This is too deep for me anyways.

This has got to be one of the most ignorant things I have heard in my life to date. How is a stone statue any different from a wooden cross? Or perhaps a gold cross with jesus on it...or perhaps *virgin* mary statues?

*TheOmen writes down that Zeus is the one true god of gods...then writes that TheOmen has a giant wang, smiles and waits for growth...*

No.. There is no proof that neither of them excised.. (Just a lot of Rune Stones and Icelandic sagas)
The Vikings liked to design their gods to what they liked to do.

Like drink a lot.. Party. Have se... I mean have fun with women (

) kill Christian monks and sacrifice them to Odin by hanging them in trees along with horses, goats ect. (Thats the best gift of them all)

So I dunno.. What makes the Christian religon better? (Apart from no killing, raping and drinking)

Racer your so blinded by christianity its sad, pull the cross out of your ass and think for just two seconds, no religion is the "right" religion, your opinion on the whole buddha statue thing is sad, anyways worshiping to the buddha statue doesn\'t mean they don\'t think of it as a spirtual thing also, its just like a cross.

IMO, christianity=brainwashing.

Why the f*ck else would anyone say such retarded things about the dinosaurs. Remember, this is the same religion used to kill people for saying that the Earth wasn\'t the center of the universe. Duh.

Here we go, I\'m starting my own religion. PLease join me in worshipping Bombo, the nasty goat. He forbids you to eat broccoli on wednesday, you must have sex on or before your first date(if at all possible) , and beer is the blood of his son. Oh yeah, he created the universe yesterday, and every memory you have before then is a bad dream. He created dinosaur fossils just to confuse us. He can do magical and wonderful things, but never does. If you\'re bad, when you die you go to (shudder) Pittsburgh.

sorry, I\'m delirious with fever right now.

I haven\'t joined in yet (atleast I think). I believe in God and Jesus. I however don\'t believe in a nice chunk of the Old Testament. They to me are just stories passed on. I believe in more science now. I don\'t believe God created everything. I believe in the big bang theory. I don\'t believe he created man. I believe in evolution. I believe that life started in a primortial soup billions of years ago by a spark of lightning or just a spark. Weird what one year of school can do to many years of religion. I guess I\'m in that stage of life when I open my eyes and see reality.

Buddha is not an idol, hell he\'s not even a diety(sp) he was just a guy that didn\'t believein suffering. also Buddhism isn\'t a total religion really, it\'s more of a philosophy in many aspects.

OK, so where does your belief in God and Jesus fit into tyour picture of the big bang/ evolution.

ok, Titan\'s statements are the most honest and intelligent ones made by someone here who does believe in god. Believing in god can give you a sense of security, and keeping a faith can make you feel more at peace, I understand. Just as long as you don\'t buy into all the BS, and you have the objectivity to realise that maybe everything your parents told you isn\'t true. (remember Santa & the Easter bunny?)

remember, Catholisism teaches that the Bible is not meant to be taken literally...

It\'s amazing how any topic that relates to religion or church gets this many posts. What’s cool is all the different views, I\'d say it\'s enlightening to see that we all have different perspectives. It\'s all about the flava!:)

I\'m just saying that I believe in God and Jesus and all of the New Testament but don\'t believe in quite a bit of the Old Testament. I\'m saying what I believe in instead which is mostly science.
