    Questions of immense proportion!

    That quote does nothing to prove your point, in fact they are completely unrelated. You are trying to claim that sin causes death. All your quote says at the root is "man is depraved, this is resisted" which in NO WAY states " man is depraved, depravity causes death, therefore man dies...

    A Disturbing Situation

    Well, obviously that is a HUGE "if" that I prefaced it with. It does not matter, because they were man's contradictions.

    A Disturbing Situation

    If a supernatural deity does exist, I look at it as a gem with many sides. Each group of people are looking at a different facet of the same gem. Each proclaiming they are the only ones who see the gem.

    Sorry, that was kind of an inside joke. I wasn't talking about punishment, I was talking about hallucinogenic psychopharmaceuticals.

    Let me guess? 1: They didnt have true faith in the first place. 2: They didn't wait long enough. 3: No one knows His plans and why you didn't get the response you were expecting. So you just need to keep trying. 4: Maybe you just didn't take enough? (whoops I was confusing my...

    A Disturbing Situation

    I would say "go ahead, knock yourself out." To me it has about as much to do with affecting reality as someone saying " I am going to bake a cake and put your name on it. After this you will have good things happen to you." . . Uhhmmm sure. Have fun.

    Christianity and Fascism

    I can't even begin to think about how completely twisted that statement is and how sorry I feel for that person.

    Hmm, actually you are going to have to do some amazing gymnastics to make that into an idea that proves the existence of god. I could say that statement about anything, so if that statement is true. Everything I apply it to would also be true. Such as, if I believed in blue space faeries that...

    Halloween for Christians?

    I was just about to post about this. This type of individual is extremely rare and short lived ( the habit, not the person ) that it is not even worth mentioning. Not only extremely rare in the overall population, but extremely rare in goth culture. The closest thing to a god to most of them...

    Halloween for Christians?

    I can't believe I am reading two threads filled with so much misinformation at once. The D&D thread is almost as bad. As havoc said, there are people, who participate in "role playing" vampires. But almost all of this is part of a complex political structure, and groups vying for power. And...

    Halloween for Christians?

    There are a very SMALL number of people whot call themselves vampires and all the get up and such, but they are "psychic" vampires. They live off the "energy" they drain from other people. And most of this is outgrown in a few years anyway. There are blood fetishists who cut each other and...

    It would be if you lived in a world like he does, where he was lucky enough to pick the religion that had absolute truth ( I hear this in my head in a very booming voice like this AB-SO-LUTE TRUUUUUTHH!). "I would like to welcome you all to hell today."- Gatekeeper "Well if my religion...
