"It\'s not dancing, its "stepping to a beat"
« on: December 14, 2003, 06:54:19 PM »
Today I went to this Christian X-mas show that my girlfriend was in. And I said "so when are you going to dance?" this old lady said "we do not dance, they are not sinning!"...wth?

While many couples who engage in social dancing never delve into immoral behavior, 1 Thessalonians 5:22 says we are to, "Avoid every kind of evil." The best way to avoid evil is to avoid those temptations that can easily lead to the evil. Some have claimed that public social dancing is a better alternative than couples isolating themselves and engaging in petting and other intimacies. But rather than discouraging sexual intimacies, social dancing makes physical intimacies more attractive and inviting. The Assemblies of God has historically opposed social dancing because it can potentially lead innocent people into temptation and sin.

I watched them "moving to a beat" and they looked like sticks with legs they couln\'t move their hips or something...

WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.

Kind of harsh...Ok if god is "all knowing" and so good why is there "evil"...That means that God knew about it and didn\'t do anything about it...or that God created evil and meant for it to happen...


HOLY crap...I mean I knew Christianity had some crazy ass logic but this? "ohh baby I love dancing this slow song with you...lets have sex"...wth?

Yes and no, religion has given a number of people a reason to live, and that in itself is reason enough for it to exist.  Of course on the other hand, religion has given people a reason to kill.

My wife grew up in church of god.  ALl her family is like that.  SHe isn\'t at all.  He family doesn\'t go to movies, dance, etc.  The women don\'t cut their hair.  It\'s rather odd since I\'ve come from a somewhat non religious back ground.  My wife took her mom to a movie like in 1994 or something.  It was the first movie she had ever gone to with her mom and she wasn\'t allowed to tell anyone.

If any of your wife\'s family is a closet PS2 fan, you are in BIG trouble, mister.

Don\'t throw away the whole barrel because of a few bad apples.  I\'ve been a Christian my whole life, in and out of countless churches and I have yet to meet anyone who would consider dancing a sin.

Your girlfriend is a mongoloid sirmystiq, drop her.  Where do you meet these people?

Dancing isn\'t evil...you\'re taking all dancing, and blowing it out of proportion. This kind of stupid overly hardcore Christian logic is how my uncle raised his kids, and they are terrified of the dumbest things. People have their exaggerated beliefs, and then claim them as something that is in the bible and then people have more reasons to say..."Oh that\'s also why the bible is stupid"...

Human Beings have all kinds of amazing, beautiful talents, such as art, music, sports, acrobatics, dancing, singing. Women are incredibly beautiful creatures, and no matter what they\'re doing, from standing idle and doing nothing, to dancing, er whatever, guys will have thoughts going on in their head, and it\'s natural. I understand that "erotic dancing" like at raves and underground parties, or just parties in general tempt people to do things they wouldn\'t have done unless put in that situation, raising body temperature, hormones raging, consumption of mind-altering substances, etc. A girl moving her hips around isn\'t gonna get her pregnant. And the old lady you talked to is senile and ignorant, like many Christians who try and find everything wrong in people instead of finding out how "God" wants them to be, and then better themselves for it. You have every right to think "what the crap is going on here?" I mean...who\'s gonna go have sex after the Christian X-Mas event when everyone there is against that, and you\'re just there to see the show? I can understand if they\'re wearing nothing, but I\'m sure they\'re fully clothed. Having a little fun isn\'t a sin, and I\'m sorry for that lame experience you had.

Evil is merely the absence of good.

And I\'m a Christian as well and nobody in our church is like that. Maybe because we\'re crazy Baptists who like to sing, dance, and do whatever is fun while worshipping... But yeah, what denomination is your gf Mystiq? She part of the apostolic church?

Assembly of God...

The punks even told her to break up with me b/c "I might make her sin"

Ohh and her friend told her to break u with me b/c of my Catholic background.

I understand religion. I mean out of all religions Christianity is the only one that at least tries to adress every single question a human might have. But also, I think that people took advantage of this and used it as a form of control back in the day, worst than it is now.

Footloose is based on the beliefs of the Church of God.  

This is not normal Christianity.  These people really believe anything extra in life is going to throw you into the depths of hell.

Religion is supposed to free you and instead of freeing you, the way its used today it imprisons you in fears. :mad:

And I hate it even more when they blend it with politics and patriotism.:mad::mad:
