edit: ZOMG LIKE DOUBLE POSTAGE!

SHALL I BE FLAMED?!

Once again I will point out that I'm an atheist. krazedkat has made the claim several times now that Christians are worshiping two different God's, and thus the bible contradicts itself by telling you earlier to only worship one god, and I am merely trying to point out to him that according to their bible, no they aren't.

Only part of the bible is theirs, the new testament it theirs. The old testament is Jewish... -.-

The old testament isn't ONLY Jewish. Christians use it as well, and it's a heavy influence or the Quran, although in all honesty I don't know enough about Islam to say how modified their version of the OT is. That still doesn't change the fact that the new testament states that the holy trinity is all one God.

a) QUOTE PYRAMID!
b) What I'm saying is that it was written by the NON-gentials... Or, in other words, the Jews.

You might want to follow the rules, but it does still restrict your life a bit, don't you think? Playing a video game all the time might be really fun too, but there is always a downside of not being able to get anything else done while you are playing.

No it does not restrict my life, I know I have the freedom. But think about what your father would say, if you wanted to play video games all day, he would say it affects your life and he might think a way to stimulate you to do other things.

You have the freedom in your live to choice, but you should check how this affects your live and better ask the Father before you make big decisions. This is how I like to follow what is good for me

Speaking of restrictions, my previous school bus driver used to stop whenever he saw a piece of bread on the ground, pick it up and then I don't know what he does with it later. Apparently it's a sin.
Or whenever ezan(calling to the mosque for praying) is being recited, everybody stops the music or anything that makes noise until it's done.
Lastly, to be able to perform all 5 Namaz prayers, you have to memorize a ridiculous amount of Arabic prayers (word by word and exactly as how it is) even if you aren't an Arab. Most of the people don't even know what they mean. It's interesing what people do just for the sake of "I don't know how many" virgins and doing whatever you want in heaven. (irony goes or went to me)

Dude, please, stop acting like you actually know the religion. Just because you see it, doesn't mean you actually know what we do. So please, stop bombarding the religion.

I'm just referring to how it affects the general society in my country. Of course there's a difference between an imitative worshipper who believes only because people around him believe and one who has reasons for his beliefs. My country is 99% Muslim by the way.

I believe he was a muslim living in turkey, so I guess he knows what he is talking about. I had conversations with him over MSN after the first religion thread and I believe he was a devout muslim then. :3

I know, what was I thinking!?

I want to put my input in this thread because everyone talking about religion and such.
Penn, some awesome magicain guy, says If your god came up to you and said "kill your child if you believe in me." Would you? In Penn's mind he thinks you're an atheist is you listen to your god and kill your child.
Also my brother who is agnostic and very intellectual guy told me religion is the most powerful form of political power in the history of man. For example before the 1500's or something like that science was not able to evolve because of the Catholic Church would kill anyone would practice science. Here are a couple things the Catholic Church stated in that time.
1. They said the earth was flat.
2. Any woman who practiced science was a witch and must be killed.
3. The Earth was the center of the solar system.
There are more but i forgot them, basically anything the Catholic Church said you most follow or be killed. So if everyone who practiced science died science couldn't evolve. But eventually certain famous people made the Church lose power such as:
Magellan: He proved by sailing around the Earth, the Earth was indeed round.
Galileo : He proved the Earth was not the center of the solar system and proved the sun was.
Johannes Gutenburg: He made the printing press, so books can be massed produced. So if books were able to be massed produced people would read them and learn. but eventually the Church started banning books when it taught "witchcraft"/science. When a book was banned by the Church it only brought more attention to it and people wondered why it was banned, so people read the book. Then people stated learning, yadayadayada. But there are plenty of more reasons the Church lost power. Eventually the Church lost all of it's power over Western civilization and science could finally evolve.

Also I don't know if this makes any sense what I wrote. Tell me if it's waste of time or not.
I believe in God but not as much as some people. But I definitely believe in his morals. Which makes me a Non-Literal Catholic. Btw I'm 14

@CL_Pepsi: I think we all know that, but why would you believe in something just for the morals? A person's moral values shouldn't rely on a book. Why don't you believe in Little Red Riding Hood then?

Well... I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I am a Pastafarian. http://www.venganza.org/

-Voldemort is a real person and uses his real magic wand to kill people

Please prove to me that any of the above are false. I have all 7 Harry Potter books by my side waiting to refute you.
