Lorem!

[Moral_Nihilist]

Well, I was requested to make an introduction thread, so here we are. I'll go ahead and try to answer the questions up in the "The introduction forum" bar.

Tell us what church you go to: Well, I don't really go to church, anymore, as I am an agnostic. I do occasionally, to discuss certain things with the members, and such.

and what your favorite Bible verse is: I don't really have one, to be honest... I can't really say I've read the Bible all too much...

how you came to find Jesus: Like I said earlier, I'm an agnostic, so... I guess I can't really answer this question, because I haven't.

Well, those are the requirements for a basic intro thread here, apparently. I'm an agnostic, I enjoy quite a few science-fiction (sci-fi) shows, because it shows how advanced our science might be. Espescially "Doctor Who." Love that show... :p

And I enjoy quite a bit of varying music, mostly rock though.

Any other question, I guess you can ask. :p

Do you think you will enjoy hell being anally raped by satan and his eight foot barbed tallywhacker ripping out your intestines?

First of all, thank you for following the idiot-proof instructions. You'd be surprised how many are unable to do so!

What brings you to a Christian church's discussion forum?

Why haven't you read the Bible? You know, I was once like you. When I was young, I'd not read the Bible. I didn't know who God was, just the popular fairy tales about some all-loving hippie in the sky. I didn't know if I'd go to Heaven or Hell.

But when I read the Bible, my life changed! No longer did I have the slightest doubt who God is, or what would happen to me after death.

Wouldn't you like that certainty? I guarantee that if you read the Bible with an open mind, you can love Jesus just as much as I do!

There are a couple of resources in my signature to help you out. Bible in a Year is right here on this site, and gives you a chance to join in discussions with Landover's best about Scripture. Real Bible Stories takes a different approach, taking you into a Sunday school classroom where you can read the at-times challenging questions and discussion of Bible stories!

Either way, you will move further from your current wishy-washy agnosticism toward a faith like mine, I'm certain.

I'd rather not want to go to Hell, no... Although, how do you know what hell consists of. Like I said in the original post, I haven't really read the Bible all too much, so forgive me if there is a verse describing it.

To become more knowledgeable of Christianity.

I... don't really know. I just was never interested in Christianity or religion...

Wouldn't reading straight from the Bible be more beneficial? I do believe my friend has a copy...

If you have the ability to stick with it, sure! But most people get halfway through Genesis and quit. These resources help you understand what you're reading and put it in context.

So you want to learn about Christianity but you have never read a Bible?

If you wanted to learn about walking would you stand up first?

Re: Lorem!

"Nihilism" is "the philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more putatively meaningful aspects of life." Though, my position is that of a 'moral nihilist' in that I reject objective morality.

Under what circumstances is it acceptable to rape little boys, or to throw acid in the face of a woman who rejected your romantic proposal?

[Moral_Nihilist]

Re: Lorem!

@Deaner

Wouldn't that be in the process of learning about Christianity?

Also, what exactly is Christianity's deeming on music?

For example. what of these bands?

-Linkin Park
-Nickelback
-Nirvana
-Tenacious D
-Kansas
-Foo Fighters
-Pink Floyd

It isn't, in my opinion. But there's bound, of the 7 billion people on this planet, to be someone who thinks those activities are acceptable.

And my position is based on the fact no two people will have the same sense of morality. Similar, perhaps, but not the same. Objective morality states humans only have a single sense of morality.

Actually, objective morality means that there are things which are objectively acceptable or not acceptable.

If humans had "a single sense of morality", then that would be universal morality.

Since you are saying that all morality is subjective, then there must be a circumstance under which you consider it acceptable to throw acid in a woman's face for refusing your romantic advance, or to rape a little boy. After all, there are hundreds of millions of people who think both activities are justified; therefore, they must be morally acceptable to you as well, because moral relativity means that "all morality is equal" and we cannot judge those who do not share our subjective moral standards.

Re: Lorem!

Welcome to God's favorite forum!

Let me ask you, what have sparkled your interest in Christ? Has something of big impact changed in your life, something you can't quite comprehend? Do you feel something is missing, an emptiness you can't explain?

The answer is Christ. There's a reason He brought you to our forum and we will help you understand what is changing in your life, how to fill that emptiness with the love of Christ. Living by the words of Christ will not only make you a better person, but you will also feel better in your everyday life, you will find meaning to all your doings and you will walk with Christ after your time on earth. I suggest you start reading this and if you have any questions feel free to ask any True Christian™

Ah... My apologizes for misunderstanding. Philosophy isn't my best area; I'm much more keen in science...

I still don't believe objective morality. Subjective morality simply states people from differing cultures, and different peoples, have varying opinion of what it "means" to be moral. I do not consider those activities to be moral.

Re: Lorem!

First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. We're right and you're wrong, according to Jesus and the Holy Word of God. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .

But since you are a moral relativist, you accept that others consider them to be moral. Therefore, it would be immoral for YOU to interfere, or to judge them for doing something that in their culture is OK.

Like raping children or throwing acid in women's faces.

I am in the descriptive moral relativism position, in that I acknowledge different cultures/people have differing moral standards, however, I do not "necessarily advocate the tolerance of all behavior in light of such disagreement."
