Now Man Of Christ, couldn't you figure out that respecting eachother is important without reading the bible or following a religion? I'm not being offensive by the way, I'm being curious as to why most humans don't have the common sense to know right from wrong and need to be spoon fed by religion for this (which isn't exactly bulletproof either).
lets be clear....religion isnt the root of intolerance but the MISAPLICATION OF RELIGION THAT LEADS TO INTOLERANCE
Jesus said Love thy nieghbor as thyself...which is quite the opposite of intolerance

then he could have said i am full of crap but to make it sound nearly identical to my screen name is evident that he didn intend to insult my religion, espcecially when you put it in the context of the other things he has said about christians

when it comes to the actual arguments regarding star wars again you fail to understand that this isnt a contest and that as equals we should just agree to disagree like repsonsible adults...not like children who need to feel like they won a petty disagreement.

second you did insult my religion when you argued that christian extremists cannot admit when they are wrong....
Originally posted by Man of ChristDo you really need to bring the scriptures into a childish debate? Look for my sake just leave religion out of the picture.
i brough in the scripture to show that even to the christian extremists admittting when you are wrong is MANDATED not DISCOURAGED in christianity.
Originally posted by Man of ChristWtf, when i said your a man of "crap" i was referring to you being full of shit, that was never an attack on god, jesus or christianity.
third of all you called me a man of crap when my screen name is man of christ....a 4 year old could detect that you intened to take a stab at my religion.
Originally posted by Man of ChristI'm going to let this one pass, its unfair to attack the bible anyways but i am familiar with it, not as familiar as you are with it.
christianity doesnt promote genocide and slavery but you are unfamiliar with the bible so im not suprised you think so
and 2 last things.....
I WAS a catholic until i recently renounced my faith in god, you have no idea of the amount of bullshit i have seen in my own church, in my own cell group and the shit they try to spew, they give all catholics and christians a bad name and think their opinions are universal fact.
It was because of them i started to hate god and hate religion, im sorry if you felt offended when i called you "man of crap" but as i said earlier, that was calling you out on being full of rubbish, not an attack on god.
I know not everyone is perfect but they act like they are perfect beings and treat their opinions as universal fact, because of them i despise the idea of a god and all other christians and religions.
Originally posted by Man of ChristIm sorry so just forget it.
1) to say that someone only deserves to be respected when they agree with you is to say that you dont believe everyone is equal...and that is a mentality that has led to racism and sexism which i am sure that you do not want to be associated with.2) telling me to shut the H*ll up and calling me a D*(K head as you just did are a violation of the terms of use of this forum and someothing you shouldnt be doing

to get this a little back on track, I say Anakin. I mean, Luke's barely trained around ROTJ, and Anakin was "properly" trained. And Anakin held his own against Dooku, and Vader in ROTJ was holding back... so.. yeah.
can we JUST please get back on topic? I barely go on the SW forums, and I run into this.

Nobody takes the SW forums seriously, dont like what your seeing then bugger off.Its better to derail the topic a little bit to understand each other a little bit more than attack each other when we disagree.
I hang around here sometimes, so I kinda know the drill. 😛 I was just trying to get it a little back on topic. it's a little hard to be sarcastic online, sorry.

understood...as a side note i only brought in scripture because you were making statements about Christian extremists that were paradoxical......and lastly i am a baptist cleric who has seen my fair share of church hypocrisy as well....being a man who went to catholics schools i share in your dissilussionment with the catholic church.....but overall.....i respect you and hope we can move forward from this

Exactly, and there have been A LOT of misapplications of religion, just read some history and you'll come across them. So if there was never a Religion in the first place, there would have never been misapplications.
So to what I was saying earlier, it's not because Jesus said that you should 'love thy neighbour' aka 'respect eachother', that you shouldn't have figured that out for yourself.

If I'm reading correctly, he said that after you went all touchy about it.

I'm comparing it to Communism.
In my opinion, Religion is highly unnecessary. Like I said before, people should learn to think for themselves and not let some Bible or Christ do the thinking for them.

we are competitive by our very nature....even if we didnt have religion we would still have something to fight about...im sure you have known a few atheists to be contentious as well....plus i think the social commentary behind the 2 part atheist episode in south park eloquently explains what i am trying to say....you know the episode where Dawkings gets involved with mr garrison...even though the nation became filled with atheists they still found something to fight over...so its not religion that causes these problems

Nice try, but many have done that and failed.
By the way, sarcasm is sexy, but the effect it has online just isn't the same as in rl.

thanks, I think.
I agree - it just isn't the same. there's no apparent stress and expression on online conversations. Oh well. I think I'm just going to watch read you guys talk.

There are other more greater problems like the need for possession, but suicide bombers for example wouldn't do something like that if their faith hadn't totally brainwashed them by promising them a great afterlife.
My question still remains though, do we really need the Bible to tell us what to do?
