Isn't it a little arrogant to imply that if everyone were like you there would be no crime?
Yes, there are 'bad' atheists and 'bad' catholics. Just as there are 'bad' christians. And 'bad' muslims. And 'bad' taoists. And 'bad' buddists. And 'bad' agnostics. And 'bad' jews.JaMDuDe wrote:
Im not even catholic ashley. I dont know why you keep showing me priests who are abusing kids. They are bad people. There are bad atheists too.
And that's the whole point JaMDuDe - they are bad people.
There all also good people, be they athiest, agnostic, christian, jew, catholic, muslim, taoist, buddist, erisian, mormon, sirusian, non-believer, or whatever.

Scorpion if its against someones religion to do crime, they are less likely to do crime than someone who has no religion.
So you can't be a Christian and a soldier?JaMDuDe wrote:

Actually, I'm not even going to respond to any more of your bullshit. You sicken me.
All hail satan, afterall he's the only element of the bible that perhaps makes any sense...
Yes you can be a christian soldier. I was just saying if the bible says not to do something a christian shouldnt do it.UnOriginalNuttah wrote:

Actually the translation is murder. Killing for the sake of defending yourself or your nation is okay. Turning the other cheek doesn't mean lay down and die.JaMDuDe wrote:

And man by nature is against God, so everyone is susceptible (sp?) to acts less than civil.
Yes, so say the bible says not to let unjustice go unpunished. A true christian could take this to mean he should murder the man who stole his wife, or murder the guy that got his promotion.JaMDuDe wrote:

You should at least understand what your talking about before you post. You cannot murder people for getting "your" promotion.
I think this thread has gone on long enough.
Eh, I disagree with Trigger.
Watch out for a future flame war between Trig & Marconius. They disagree!!! Everyone take cover!Marconius wrote:

This is my favorite thread...
yeah i dissagree to i sent him a letter about it so im guessing he got it
hmm, keep this thread open a little longer. I have been lurking around, reading and not posting. I am formulating thoughts and answers and hopefully will get them written down in Word then transfer them here.
As to the original question, Yes, I am a Christian but I believe that in this day and age that Christian does not mean what it should mean. Many people can say they are saved but are they?
As, I have found out via pm's on here and general knowledge, most Christians are Arminians but few really dig deep into the scriptures. Few have read the works of Augustine, Luther, and Calvin among a few.
But I found this quote while going through my yearbook for last year.
"If you're living like there's no God, you'd better be right." ~unknown

But if we look at it properly, I believe this is the... 110th page on this topic. Everything that can be discussed has been discussed - at least three times.

So?? If we're happy to keep discussing the issue, why close the topic? We're not causing trouble!? Surely thats the point of this area of the forum, for serious debate!But if we look at it properly, I believe this is the... 110th page on this topic. Everything that can be discussed has been discussed - at least three times.
I agree...if we find new arguments about previous points, why not bring them up again?

Thats a very VERY biased remark. There is much more to Islam than what we see in the news. And try to remember that there are many more Muslims that want peace than war, but unfortunately a peaceful Muslim is not news...CyrusTheVirus wrote:
