Nope. I thought it is a variant of the Anglican Church, and consequently English. One way they can be described is "catholics whose priests can get married" (tongue firmly in cheek).I have never heard that word before did you just make that up?.

lol, is there any proof Lao Tzu is not a made up character?Erm, mickey mouse is a cartoon character and is proven fact that its a made up person, Lao Tzu left behind the DaoDeJing his existence is suspect. There is a huge difference.
Neither do I, but that does not stop me keep my eyes open.Some people choose happiness over rational logic, aslong as they don't hrm others I don't give a monkeys.
What do the police do if a burglary has happened, they check there register of known burglars, just because people have burgled before does not mean they will do it again, or whether new burglars will come to be. But they do, and it does. Just being on my guard tis all.Just because it has happened does not mean it will happen in every given future scenario
Ok seeing as you want to be facetious, lets go back to my original question "If you girlfriend truly believed via a vision that jesus wanted her to kill the woman next door, she would do it.Yes because she follows the teachings of Christ,
I used the bibkle so show how jesus said to obey god.She Obeys what she thinks is right, If she does not agree with parts of the bible she will not follow.
So half of what the christ she follows is BS.She always says to me that the devil inspired 50% of the bible and god inspired 50% of the bible. It's up to us as good people to understand what parts are right and what parts are corrupt.
We are all technically born atheist, without god, "tabula rasa"(blank slate) that does not mean you cannot believe fantasies such as Ghost, fairies, santa etc. if you grow up with any of these then your open to fantasy, So you could say at best, you were a non-beleiver, but not an atheist, sorry.False, I was raised an Atheist, I am now not an Atheist.
Yes they can, but are they really following the tenets of their religion.People can take a piece of information, study it and choose to follow the good and reject the bad.
Yes ignorance is bliss.Not everybody cares for logic and seriousness. Some people just want to live life and be happy without worries.
But not truly following the tenets of said religon.Maybe but they are still religious all the same.
Better to be aware of the danger, then get killed. isn't that why we have an army or a police force, or are those all tainted too.That carefulness has tainted your mind.
You said I should look for evidence before I judge and I replied I've got it.If that was not sarcastic, then Im glad.
No, he was a Lutheren christian.Yes and those people are assholes Religious or not. Hitler Was an Atheist right?
Where do all the despots come from they all start out as good children (possibily)Does not mean you will commit mass genocide does it.
I'm happy for them, as long as they dont kill anyone, as it is more likely given religious history.Have you really got that much of a problem that you cannot just be happy for people who have faith.
No, just be watchful tis all. Irrational beliefs cause people to do irrational things.It's like your saying anyone who is religious is a plague on mankind and should be irradicated.
Exactly an irrational baseless belief.I Don't follow religion Im not religious atall I follow no scriptures but I believe in god. It's not harming anybody.
Oh yes, but we must be on our guard.Can you accept that it's ok to have faith because it makes you happy?.
Apparently neither have you.:bugeye:geeser said:The religious have learnt nothing over the centuries. .
Lol, I'm not american, it is called the English langauge for a reason, lol.I love you.![]()
we are all technically born atheist, without god,
Are you born with god, on the affirmative, are you born with anything affirmative, No!, everything you learn from dot is an affirmative action, whether what you're being taught is good is another story.You cannot be serious.

It has happened so many times before, by good people." So as she follows the teaching of christ, why would she ignore what he says face to face. So heres that question again, "if she would not obey her god(jesus), could she really call herself a Christian"? and try to give a proper answer this time. thank you I used the bibkle so show how jesus said to obey god.
And I'm talking about an epithany via a vision of jesus, his form, his words, him made flesh for her. So half of what the christ she follows is BS.

From the Cambridge English Dictionary, on the list I gave you the link for below.

Egg on your face is sometimes hard to wash off, rotflmao.
Are you born with god, on the affirmative, are you born with anything affirmative, No!, everything you learn from dot is an affirmative action, whether what you're being taught is good is another story.
Being born tabula rasa, you are born in the negative.
Thus you are without god, on the negative, simple.
it's post #43Fair enough. In fact, 'learnt' was bouncing around in my brain "that might be a real word, hmm. Well, off to the (computer) dictionary. Nope."
Now here is where I get caught; I often say that print dictionaries are more complete than computer dictionary. And more reliable. But did I go and check? Nooo, that would take too long. Oops. I guess you learnt me real good on that one.And Thanks.
Truly. I always enjoy learning about words. It's a thing for me.
Well geeser, there were other (apparent) errors but I can't point them out as it would seem that the post has been removed.
Hmmm(?) At least I was unable to find it.
It would seem I was mistaken, tho I was sure that I'd seen others; mayby in another post? Maybe pre-editit's post #43
I cant say if humans are "born with god" but you are confusing a few issues. All humans are spiritual beings. Weather people put their faith in a belief system\deity or another human in terms of an afterlife makes no difference at all.
You implied that everything is learned, so is Atheism. If you cannot see that then you are delusional.
I'd read it the first time.:bugeye:Reread my title.
Hmmmmm
