On a serious note:

Is it a Goth "thing" to bash religion?? I am being serious. Im guessing it is. Im not trying to be funny.

From Goths encountered, there seems to be a schizophrenic pre-occupation with dangling a load of blingy crucafixes... juxtaposed with Satanic bits and pieces and ideology.

A hilariously pointless fad, Gothism.

:D

Why do people waste their time on hating? Yet, some people will spend their time and energy describing on why they hate catholic religion. Either lot of time or lot of extra hate in their lives. I dont know. They will even waste their time in finding stupid offensive avatars or pics.... If you dont know anything about the religion, it doesnt make you qualified of knowing it all. If you dont know anything about a subject, then you probably shouldnt be talking about it. That even goes for people that take a 3 month course about the religion. Catholic religion is a way of life and not a college course that is trying to "impress" you to join them.

Now let me have my say in this issue before we call this thread shot.

I hate it when people say that they respect my religion, then go on to call it a "delusion" and call it "hypocritical". Those are not the most respectful terms I can think of.

As some here may remember, I used to be a die-hard atheist and I couldn't understand the religious way of life, but I dont think I ever called it delusional. Now I'm on the other side of the fence. God has come into my life, and I wouldn't want it any other way, but I'm not going to force it on anyone else.


K, I'm done. Good discussion guys :)

HIGH PRIEST WISE

Jesus rocks my socks

is he..?. thought he stand up from the dead...anyway I wanted to make sure he was gone for good ..:cool:

I meant I respect peoples right to believe what they wish, I certainly do not respect organized religion as a whole because it does not practice what it preaches.
The 'delusions ;) ' bit was just a little humour, no offence meant.

Just wanted to remind everyone, that the only reason i started thread was to poke fun and get a cheap laugh out of that guy who came to this sire (peaceforjesus).

Its just a parody on his post.
This thread got wayyy too serious.

Well, I'm gonna say that most of the Christians that have posted on this thread seem pretty cool. That's great. We need more cool Christians. Go out and make yourselves an example to the morons. I'd try to go and make myself and example to other Witches, but I think I'd be setting a bad precidence. I've...uh... kinda broken the reed: An in it harm none, do what thou will. That's why I refer to myself as the "Not Quite So Wicked Witch" I don't want to be hypocritical. (You know, I don't want to be the Pat Robertson of Witchcraft).

Going on... I give much kudos to Hammerfan for being one of the coolest Christians I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Orangestar, I happy that you've found something fulfilling in your life. That's awesome.

To our atheists: Rock on. You like science; I like science. From my faithful perspective I don't condemn you at all. I just think you're in for a treat when it's all said and done. "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon."

Anyhow so alot of you believe in God. Do you believe that the Bible & its message has been used wrongly over the years for the betterment of others? :)
