    Beliefs define our reality.

    Then why are some people so intent on evangelizing? You don't have to answer that, I think I know the answer. But killing in the name of religion... Why? I guess there's a difference between 'believer' and 'deranged psychotic'.

    Beliefs define our reality.

    Sorry if this post comes out as braindumpy... that would be because it is. Who said I wanted to get to the north pole in the first place though? To use the christian/atheist example again: A christian's goal is eternal life in heaven. An atheist's goal can be whatever he wants it to be...

    Beliefs define our reality.

    Ah okay - I was wrong to title this thread that way. ReluctantProphet has the gist of what I am saying (so do others). Basically what I'm trying to say is that there can be no 'one way to salvation', which is what a lot of people here seem to believe. It is a very ignorant statement to make...

    Beliefs define our reality.

    Hi. Beliefs define our reality. For example, pretend I am a christian (well, i sort of am). I believe Jesus was the son of God and he died for our sins. I know of people (probably most self proclaimed christians) who believe that people who dont believe in jesus are doomed to burn in hell...

    Creationism - Lazy Man's science?

    hehe what a strange thread. AV23847651234876 asserts everything he says as true without any evidence at all. No wait, he uses the bible as evidence. please give evidence that the bible is a reliable source of information.

    666 wrong number of prophetic beast?

    *ahem* who decided which books comprised the 'holy bible', and who's to say there isn't more? and -by the way- if the 'holy bible' is so complete and unchangable, why are there different versions, like niv, cev, the message, etc. ps what's so special about the number 666? is it evil?

    Review of Star Wars Episode III

    You're taking it waay out of context... he gave in because he'd been struggling for the rest of the movie and had just seen the whole counsil destroyed. I think it was more of a 'well, i can't exactly be a jedi any more... next best thing!' It was a very good movie.

    Why do you think its wrong

    This is getting lol! I agree with shizzle. Ok, about that self centeredness thing, what if... i went down to the shop to buy a chocolate so i could eat it, and with NO other purpose. I just get this craving for chocolate that i want to fulfil. Would i be sinning? what i want to know is...

    Islam vs Christianity

    One God in three forms: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Why are you classifying God as an animal? Methinks he is neither plant or animal nor anything else earthly, and so capable of anything. We call Him 'Him' because it's easier for us to understand that way. Then what happened when he was...

    Islam vs Christianity

    Hi people. Last night a guy from work randomly gave me an introductory islam book, and so I've been doing a little bit of research (I previously knew *nothing* about islam). I was reading through the evil-islam-violence-women thread on this forum and went through all the links and now I'm...

    Is ki real?

    Wow... it's been like 5 days and 30 replies! Ok, by now i am fairly convinced that ki/chi is a real thing. I'm just concerned about how far it actually goes, as the 'grounding' technique where you visualise ki from the universe flowing into the centre of your body, i guess that's just a...

    Is ki real?

    I have started doing aikido this year, and they teach about the flow of ki (or chi). I'm actually starting to think it's a real thing. So, anyone who has studied ki or aikido can you please explain? i'm a christian and some aspects of ki which our sensei has taught conflict with what the bible says.
