Brother, you are right. Shooting them is pretty harsh. That's why I usually just mace them.

Too true, sister Daisy Mae. I use pepper spray myself, but if they don't get off our land, that's when my husband gets the gun out.

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

Well let me start off by saying that I have no intention of starting a flame war, I have no intention of starting an argument and despite not seeing things the same way, I respect your beliefs.

I'd appreciate if we could have a civil discussion and perhaps you could teach me some things. Depending on how this goes I may be open to conversion.

First off, with evolution just about confirmed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK3O6KYPmEw how can you still believe in creation?

This is a website, websites being mainly coded in HTML. HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee, a physicist who rejected religion. Don't you see using something created by a non-religious man wrong?

My last question, why are you christian? With hundreds of different religions, why did you go with Christianity? Was it simply because it was the main religion in whatever country you were born in, or was it something else?

This isn't a debate forum, you monkey-worshiping, sickular fool!

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

I'm confused...so bananas prove God exists?
If anything wouldn't the fact that we are so perfectly synced in design with bananas prove that we are descended from apes? Which primarily eat bananas.

Silly jehoofa, apes eat a wide variety of things... not even close to primarily bananas.

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

First of all, Creationism is just about confirmed, so how can you believe in evilution?

See? I have youtube evidence too!


Your problem is that you don't understand the Holy Bible. That's because your father is satan.

shoot a kid on Halloween

This deepravity just keeps on getting worse and worse.

What if he's a CHRISTIAN Child, out passing Chic Tracts to Convert the un$avED?

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

I've seen nothing but racism and hate here. Hypocrites go to hell, haven't you heard?

After I read the initial responses to this thread, I began to think, I picked up a bible, started reading and I said prayers before I went to bed. But if what I've seen here (shooting kids on halloween, being racist towards just everyone but Americans and telling everyone they're going to hell) is what being Christian means, I'd rather stay an Atheist.

You say you aren't extremists but I bet you'd deny being liars too.

It's saddening actually. None of you can think for yourself. I'm yet to see one response here that isn't "the word of God" or taken from the Bible. You may as well have no brains.

Didn't take long for the true colours to be shown. Not only are you a racist but a religious bigot to boot!

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

Yes, I do. But did the bible tell that person to shoot a kid on Halloween?

Of course firearms were not available until relatively recently, but I truly believe that God wants us to use all tools at our disposal.

(1 Corinthians 12:5-6) "And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all."

For instance, the internets and computers are not mentioned in the Bible. Does that mean that I should not avail myself of them in order to secure God's Will on Earth?

Of course not.



Yours in Christ,

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

What is extreme about following the Bible to the letter? Do you disregard other instructions so cavalierly out-of-hand?

Let's say you needed to change the transmission on a car. I just checked in my shop manual and there are 73 steps involved in changing the transmission in my Jeep (this is not counting the parts that refer to sections covered separately). How do I decide which steps to omit?

When you are making quiche (don't deny it!) do you skip the part about adding flour to the grated cheese before adding that to the egg/milk mixture?

DO YOU???

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

I'm not anti-Jesus at all. I'm anti-extremist. And I've read the stickies, that's why when I made this thread I was trying to avoid contradicting any of them or make it look like I was arguing against them, but it's pretty hard and you're not really giving me much of a choice.

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

So if God didn't want free thought, why did he give us brains?

Well, some Christian Scientists have said that the brain has little use in God's people. God gave us minds to help our spirits move our bodies around on earth, sort of like an interface between spirit and flesh.

But reasoning of any kind can never be done outside of the Word of God. I'd gladly donate my brain if I could because I know I can still be a Christian without it and get to heaven. That's better than letting the brain lead us to hell.

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8)

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." (Isaiah 1:18)

Re: Not religious, but open-minded.

What were you anticipating? We are a humble Christian website devoted to praising God and living by EVERY WORD of the KJV Bible. When you go to a football game do you complain when there aren't elephants and clowns?



This might be a good time for you to go back and read some of the "Sticky" notices that you've obviously overlooked: our devotion to the Bible in its entirety is made quite clear.

Oh, and if you can find ONE INSTANCE where a True Christian™ has taken the Bible out of context or misquoted it in ANY fashion, I will donate $1,000 to the anti-Jesus pro-queer charity of your choice.

Using brains or thinking outside of the Bible brings hell, buddy. (Proverbs 12:15)

You'll find none of that here from the Saved™, I assure you.
