Christian Majority

[Arioch]

I consider myself an agnostic, who acknowledges the idea that a god can exist but also acknowledges the fact that we will never have any proof....but lately i have felt stomped down and oppressed by the overwhelming white christian majority around me......

Just want to know what the stats are of horror...

[urgeok]

i dont believe there is a god anymore than i believe in ghosts fairies werewolves vampires leprechauns bigfoot nessie magic or any other paranormal folklore.

that aughta make me even more popular than i am now ...

[bloodrayne]

LOL..It seems that almost EVERYONE that I've been hangin' with lately is either Wiccan or Pagan...Hmm...Christians seem to be the MINORITY 'round here...

[zwoti]

atheist

[urgeok]

people are always looking for proof .. they say look at the miracle of life ..

i say look at a newspaper or the TV ... thats daily proof enough for me that there is no such thing.

And i know all the arguments because i was a blind faith christian as a child ..

[Haunted]

I am a filthy heathen Pagan infidel not to mention a horrible terrible Witch.

[FairyKorpes]

I believe in God and although shitty things happen they happen for a reason. Even if there isn't what harm is there believeing and praying.

[Haunted]

You know it just goes to show that no matter what you believe in, as along as you're a decent person...who gives a poop.

yeah we get them in Toronto too .. they get a dentist to pop in a couple of fangs, sleep in the day and club all night listening to bauhaus etc ... then one day they walk in front of a car because they're convinced it wont hurt them.

(i'm not making this up)

Then again there are people who think they are jesus, napoleon and marilyn monroe ...

the imagination is a wonderful thing ... till it buys you a few years vacation in a padded hotel room.

By the way .. i really have to comment on the love and care that went into the Cradle of Filth poster !! :)

And I agree with you 100%, Haunted ;) :)

[bwind22]

Wouldn't we have to probably all be agnostic in a way? No one knows. Some people have faith that God exists. Others believe he doesn't. Yet other worship Allah or The Devil. But no one really knows...


Just like no one can say for sure what happens when you die. The people with near death experiences probably catch a brief glimpse, but no one is certain how it is, once it's final.

These are the questions that can keep anyone up scratching their head at night. Or at least me....;)

[urgeok]

i've never had any faith in that near death experience deal .. who knows whats being concocted in the brain when its running out of oxygen (which is the solitary cause of death)

there could be dreams, memories, chemical fireworks, anything !

we all want to believe in something else .. unless you can come to grips with the fact that here and now is all its gonna be and your only crack at immortality is the memories you leave behind in others - especially your children.

Which is reason enough for me to strive to be a decent person ..
i dont need the fear of some eternal damnation to keep me in line.

Or at least me....;) Hmm...Ya know, Bwind...This got me thinking (ouch..lol)...Someone was joking about myths and fairy tales here...But, what connotates a myth or fairy tale?...Something or someone who is spoken of, but never seen or heard, a story that is passed down, told about, read about...Sounds kinda like God, huh?

I told Jonathan (The Vampire Freak in the picture back there) that he can't be a Vampire because he isn't immortal.....He said, "Christians aren't immortal either, yet their God is supposed to be"...Just something to ponder, I suppose...

[allmykids]

Ok one more reason for everyone to hate me. Yes I am a Christian. I think that even if the proof was in there face alot of people still would not belive. as far as why do the bad things happen I think it's called what goes around comes around!!

[newb]

I believe there must be a GOD. How else could you explain the growth of rice, hops and barley.

I was born and raised Catholic but I don't really practice any religion now.

[urgeok]

i sure as hell wouldnt hate someone for their religious convictions ..

[urgeok]

If there's 2 things i cant stand its people who have no tolerance for other people because of their beliefs or their place or origin.

and the Dutch.


hahahahaha :)

Hmm..But THAT would be Karma...and Karma is a predominantly Wiccan/Pagan belief...Wouldn't a Christian be more likely to say that it's 'Divine Retribution'?...Not, just a reaction to an action, but a vengeance with a purpose?...Know what I mean?

[urgeok]

i thought Karma was an eastern belief ..
part of the seven rings or whatever all that is ,, you build karma to exist on a higher plane each time you are reincarnated ..

or am i mixing things up here ?

I allways seen to be in the minority!!! I have friends that belive and don't. I can be friends with people who don't think the same way I do!! That's what makes the world go round!

well, its a big world and hundreds of different religions .. and within each religion there are dozens of sects/factions ...

hell there isnt 2 people who believe in exactly the same thing ..
Even 2 christians of the same denomination cant agree on every point ...

we're all in our own minorities - dont feel so bad :)

Uh Oh..This thread is about to take a WIDE right turn..Zwoti, where is your sign?...lol

[Haunted]

NO ONE EXPECTS THE AMK INQUISITION!!!

Sorry AMK, I couldn't resist.


And no, the Wicker Man doesn't represent real Paganism. For one thing, we wouldn't suck on a frog's ass for a sore throat, we'd drink tea with with willow bark in it. For another, we don't do the sacrifice thing.

Karma is part of the 7 Upinashads. Its a Hindu philosophy as well as Buddhist. Every action, even taking a wee, creates karma.

[urgeok]

well, so far the 'not's are in the lead by 5 to 4.
what do the winners get ?
Complete spiritual awareness ?

Well you also have to consider the source, horror movies arent exactly the average christians forte...

Also, the average age here is much younger than say 18 or so....i usually find that christianity finds alot more supporters the older the age group...

oddly enough though i know a few who have voted are near 30 or older.
Myself being one of them ...
I think hardliners would avoid horror because of the very nature of the genre but the average 'i believe but only go to church on xmas' types watch horror .. I hear a lot from these folks that they are only frightened by the Exorcist - satan type horrors because they think they are more real.
But they still seem to like them in a rollercoaster sort of way...

[gren]

lol, this is a funny thread. wish i was here earlier

anyway, i dont consider myself anything, but i guess i would fall under agnostic. tihs being the first time ive ever labeled myself that

i was 'raised' catholic, used to go to church with family for a few years but didnt really learn anything. picked up a childrens bible of the jehovah witness variety when i was young. strange thing, i was a little girl reading that shit. cool fuckin pics, neat stories but i got to the end where 'you can live forever this is how!' and i was like 'WTF'

even as a little kid, religion just didnt make sense to me.

just as if proof WERE to prove a god, and people wouldnt believe it.. if there was proof to DISprove god... people wouldnt believe that either..... (eg evolution)

[Arioch]

Agreed...

[Heretic_Ideals]

i consider myself nothing i don't really give a shit either way im gonna live my life the best way for me my carnal self i guess if you want to label that anything thatd fall under levay satanism but i dont practice it or any religion....although i do like to read and study on all of them.

Thats why Faith is the single most important componant of christianity .. or any other religion for that matter.

Wiccan-for those who didnt know, evil or good depends on who you talk to.

[chaplain]

Something I found kinda cool is my father-in-law is very much athiest, yet he sent all 3 of his children to church frequently because he didn't want to force his beliefs on them.He thought they should make up thier own minds about what they believe in.You don't see that too much.
