Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

look. i cant read the bible in one night, alright? you have to allow me some time to read and perhaps process rather than 'skim' as someone has said that others do.

im not here to argue or battle anyone, i just want to learn. im curious but im not magical nor am i anything particularly magnificent, but if you say im spoonfed watered down scripture, id like the time to be able to read the book youre so adamant about.

any 'guidance' you can offer would be much welcome, but any negative comments or thoughts really turn me the opposite way. i can sincerely understand why my school does not want any religious conversations within its walls, its simply a battle all around if the wrong thing is said.

Go to you local Mosque and ask the Imam to help you. He will also give you a Quran to take home.

Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

Hey! We do not HIDE behind the Bible! We declare its actual, printed content for all the world to see. We get a lot of grief for doing that, but we feel strongly about our mission and ride out the written abuse.

And yes, I suppose that there is some validity to your little jab about us being internet tough guys, but you are standing up oh-so-bravely using the same medium, aren't you?

The defense that I offer on behalf of my brethren is the same that I extend on behalf of Bugs Bunny.

In adventure after adventure, Bugs is always minding his own business. Oftentimes, sitting in a comfortable stuffed chair down in his hole, munching contentedly on a carrot, when Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam or whoever comes looking for him and starts making trouble.

Bugs is never out there, roaming the 'hood, looking for a fight. They come after him. And it is hardly his fault that he has them totally outclassed in the intelligence department. Besides the more brute methods for dealing with his tormentors, i.e. heavy iron anvils, Bugs often employs the arts. Symphonies, opera, Shakespeare, Bugs pulls 'em all out in an effort to end the conflict that they started so he can get back to relaxing with a tasty carrot.

So... you'll electronically state threats of physical violence when people question the morality or validity of your religion, instead of citing any valid counter argument (validity being based upon a lack circular logic), and your defense in doing so is based around a cartoon rabbit...

Brilliant. I wish I had thought of that one, maybe I can justify uttering threats in public by saying Yosemite Sam gets away with it. Threaten to blow up a mosque because Wile E Coyote blows buildings up all the time with no repercussions.

Bear in mind I am of the same religion as you... Just not a supporter of the same team per say. My beliefs are held as being valid by the pope, and I have read your version of our shared religious text.

What I see coming from this forum is people trying to deny things that are considered "accepted flaws" of a religion. It's easy to say that your reference guide was written very long ago by people so ignorant they likely couldn't verify any of their information (earth not being flat, earth not being center of universe, peoples ages being 500 or so years, and the earth being 3000-4000 years old) and follow up by saying that at least the morals are in the right place and god didn't want to share with them all the information on the world at that time.

Instead you go the other route defending things such as the age of the earth, it's flatness, etc.

At least the terrorists make it apparent that their religion is crazy
On the other hand you people are making me ashamed to be a supporter of Stan, because your extremist branch of Christianity is making the rest of us look bad... Go read a Nat.Geo or something science proves a lot more than a book written by ignorant Israelis can.

(and yes, yes you are hiding behind the bible, its called "circular logic", look it up)

Who on earth said you had to read the book in one night? This is why you have to read more - your comprehension skills are lacking.

All we ask is that you reserve questions until after you are done reading it. Just like one somebody is making a speech. No point interrupting when the answer is probably further on.

any 'guidance' you can offer would be much welcome,

Why don't you read some of these passages, for starters, to help you learn why it's important to do what God wants. You can look them up at www.biblegateway.com

Genesis 38:7

Exodus 4:23

Leviticus 10:1-2

Numbers 11:1

Deuteronomy 28:21

Joshua 10:10

Judges 14:19

1 Samuel 6:19

I could ask you the same question. What would your answer be, you do not believe in Allah (pbuh) like the Christians do.

The Christians believe in Allah (pbuh) but have have been corrupted in their following. Is it wrong to share knowledge of Allah (pbuh).

SURA 2.
112. Yes! whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and he is the doer of good [to others] he has his reward from his Lord, and there is no fear for him nor shall he grieve.
113. And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything [good] and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything [good] while they recite the [same] Book. Even thus say those who have no knowledge, like to what they say; so Allah shall judge between them on the day of resurrection in what they differ.

SURA 5.
15. And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of, therefore We excited among them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection; and Allah will inform them of what they did.

Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

So... you'll electronically state threats of physical violence when people question the morality or validity of your religion,

Nobody here has threatened anyone with physical violence.

We have told you what God will do with your immortal soul. That is not us threatening violence, that is us informing you of consequences.

Suppose your neighbor tells you, "If you drive drunk and run someone over, you'll go to jail." Is your neighbor threatening you with jail time? No. Your neighbor is informing you of the consequences of your actions.

If you refuse to worship God the way He demands, He will torture you for eternity in His Lake of Fire.

Consequences.

Oh, you are allowed to speak except for what you're not allowed to speak about. Makes perfect sense

Freedom of religion, you'll find, also comes under the 1st amendment and is considered a basic human right in most of the civilized nations of the world. Which backwards hellhole do you come from?

Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

after speaking and talking with some of you, even getting an infraction for a comment about a personal opinion, i have come to the conclusion that a majority of you people are ignorant. i hope your god saves you before someone meets you with reality.

really. im very sorry that you see my curiosity as a threat, i wasnt aware that being curious about the correct writings was wrong. forgive me for being raised differently from you, but you certainly dont encourage me to read or even process what you people are thinking. you should get your heads checked out.

You are the one that is ignorant in the ways of Allah. Do you not realize the Shaitan has caused you to be an unbeliever and such evil things. Turn towards Allah (pbuh), for he most forgiving.

SURA 2.
88. And they say: Our hearts are covered. Nay, Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief; so little it is that they believe.
89. And when there came to them a Book from Allah verifying that which they have, and aforetime they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieve,but when there came to them [Prophet] that which they did not recognize, they disbelieved in him; so Allah's curse is on the unbelievers.
90. Evil is that for which they have sold their souls-- that they should deny what Allah has revealed, out of envy that Allah should send down of His grace on whomsoever of His servants He pleases; so they have made themselves deserving of wrath upon wrath, and there is a disgraceful punishment for the unbelievers.
