I'm very confused.

[patsie]

Please don't see this as a troll, attack, or whatever. I accept all religions, and have an honest question about this board and the beliefs of the people within.

Are all, or most, of the threads here serious? To name a few, the "Colonic Demons" thread, the "sun distance" thread in creation science, and the "minecraft" thread. These three alone are enough to make me think that this site is a bunch of people mocking christianity, god, general intellect, and science.

Am I wrong? Obviously, I haven't met or encountered every type of person or religion in the world. Maybe this one just seems strange because it is so foreign to me?

I'm taoist buddhist by the way, as for my belief in god(s), I suppose I could be labeled as agnostic.

they are serious here which gives me sadness. So much misunderstanding, railing against the neighbor etcetra.

I make it my charity work to post things that are known to be true here so the interweb looker gets full picture. Just be polite or they will disappear

PS: I am agnostic, too : )

Re: I'm very confused.

We are as real as the flames of hell.

Why would we bother to study the Bible if we didn't take it with the utmost of seriousness?

You need look no further than Brother V's Bible in a year Pastor Peter's Things that the Bible doesn't say, I highly recommend Pastor Enoe's the 10 commandments and their punishments. Dr. True Disciple's dissertation on population displacement is highly enlightening. My own series of the Greatest Smitings of the Bible is great stuff too if I say so myself.

Welcome Patsy! Why do you hate Jesus? Don't you know that he died so that people who accept him and follow the King James Bible to the letter could live for eternity in Heaven?

Why do you believe in a fat Chinaman instead of the One True God? Are you trying to get sent to Hell on purpose?

Just be polite or they will MAKE YOU disappear

On thing that gives away bias is they do not let agnostics have 'edit buttons'. They save those for their special circle of church friends so WE end up looking bad just for typing mistake

Quit whining Nan! Isn't there some fag somewhere that needs defending?

Re: I'm very confused.

Dear friend:

Thank you for your question. If we were mocking Christianity, why would we preach the King James Bible exactly as written? Wouldn't we distort the wording to make it somehow funny? We take Christianity and God's Word every bit as seriously as they deserve to be taken.

You don't need our help in making yourself look bad.

Re: I'm very confused.

I accept all religions...

Are you some kind of terrorist sympathizer? How do you feel about the holy war against Islam and the murder of its leader, Osama Bin laden?

I'm not interested in further conversation with you until you can answer these questions.

Re: I'm very confused.

First, to answer Nobar's question, so that he won't shun me, Islam is a religion of peace, not war. As with many other groups, there are extremists calling themselves "Islamic" who do terrible horrible things.

And I don't hate Jesus.

Now, most importantly, Pastor Isaac Peters. I considered that, but some of the threads here seem funny to me, laugh out loud funny. Especially the sun thread. Perhaps I'm just rather ignorant. I am quite honestly interested in your beliefs, assuming you're not all cracking jokes about baptistism (what's the real word for that?).

All I've been exposed to of your religion is in movies and such, where some "crazy" person thinks the Earth is 10 years old, dinosaurs aren't real, and well, now the sun is only 500 miles away. Is there more too it than that? From what I can see, you believe that the KJV is completely true, and to be taken completely literally, in it's entirety, rather than choosing random verse to take as metaphors, as some (points at Christians) do. Do I understand correctly?

That's basically it. And the earth is just over 6,000 years old, the dinosaurs all died in the flood, the earth has corners, and the moon is just a slightly dimmer sun that God made so that it wasn't completely dark at night. Oh, and stars are actually giant diamonds.

If you have any questions about any of this stuff, just use the search function instead of bothering a True Christian™

That's not good enough. You're either with us or you're against us. Make up your mind.

Well you won't be laughing when you're burning in Hell! What's so funny about the true Word and will of God?

Correct.

Our beliefs are very true. You've obviously never read a 1611 KJV Bible, seeing as how you can't understand. Every belief we have is off of the Bible. The Bible is meant to be taken literally, and so we do. Matthew 4:4- Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. I think your word is "satire," by the by, and we do not do believe things just so some lazy Islamic guy can laugh at us

All I've been exposed to of your religion is in movies and such, where some "crazy" person thinks the Earth is 10 years old, dinosaurs aren't real, and well, now the sun is only 500 miles away.

...I thought you said you weren't trying to start an argument? You're being passive-aggressive by indirectly calling the community "crazy." By the way, who said the earth was 10 years old?

From what I can see, you believe that the KJV is completely true, and to be taken completely literally, in it's entirety, rather than choosing random verse to take as metaphors, as some (points at Christians) do. Do I understand correctly?

We do take every word literally. Someone hasn't been paying attention! (Points at Patsie)

This is called the "introduction" forum for a reason. Please tell us about yourself, the church you grew up in, and why you hate Jesus.

By the way: that fat chink Buddha didn't suffer and die on the cross for your sins. Jesus did!

It turns out that she was against us and has returned to Yemen to complete her jihad training.
