Topic: WW not holy enough? What?

[mouse_clicker]

So why even say that Christians modernized terrorism when you're not gonig to make a point about it? Generally people provide such facts in order to prove points- naturally people will assume your point is that we should rebuke Christians for inventing terrorism. I don't see why you would even mention such a fact when you didn't mean anything by it.

And my last comment had nothing to do with what the catholics or muslims or christians have done- I was simply pointing out that just because you're Christian doesn't mean you won't come down on Christians for certain things. My friend, who is a catholic, regards the catholic church as a cult- saying you're Christian and therefor cannot bash Christians is meaningless to me. I'd respond to you the same were Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Native American, whatever- it doesn't matter to me.

i did have a point....most people in america are christians...and a lot of people in america think that muslims are so bad for their terrorist acts. the point is(i actaully made this point already) was that christains are the ones who made it what it is today. they arent doing anything new. so just as you wouldnt want to be generalized as a christian, you shouldnt generalize muslims. and i think that if you are christain and dont care about what other christians believe in, then you are beyond stupid. the christian religion has many people believing in many htings. i think you would be suprised how much you could learn from someone of a different sect if you gave what they said a chance. hell its important to know what muslims believe it. jsut to understand why they do the things they do. both are huge religions and i would be suprised if there is one person on the earth that doesnt know someone who is one or the otehr. its always good to try to understnad things from a different view point. to shut someone down because you dont believe the same thing they do is just as ignorant as blowing someone up because they wont believe what you believe in. its just no as violent. i think we whould take this to the old fashion messenger if you really want to continue the discussion. we pushed this religious thread as far as we can i think.

just so i can protect myself from flames...

i am christian myself, my joke IS a generalization but not what i believe and is more poking fun at those that do believe christianity is the ONLY truth... in fact if i remember correctly, my priest is the one who told me that joke.

the thing is, the only thing separating a cult and a religion is political power.

I enjoyed your joke.

[Hostile Creation]

Me too.  I was actually expecting a better punchline after such a buildup, but it was still a pretty good joke.

yea i have heard that joke before as well, and it is a good one. i do think that there is only one truth, but we obviously dont know what that is, and i believe that if god is a just god(assuming there is one) he wont limit heaven to the ones who believed the truth. some people just dont know, and its whats in the heart that counts. obviously a lot of people will be proven wrong at the end of time, because not everyone can be right. i dont know what you mean by multiple truths, but from what i have heard other people say, i dont believe that to be possible. but if you just mean that christians wont be the only ones in heaven, (again assuming that christian are right) then i definitely agree with you, and i think a lot of christains would. obviously though...there is either a god or no god. he is either the christian god or he isnt.

"i did have a point....most people in america are christians...and a lot of people in america think that muslims are so bad for their terrorist acts."

Okay then, that's good enough for me. Sorry for our scuffle.

[nolimit19]

no offense taken at all.

I know this thread started out about a Christian website review on Zelda WW but it has turned into something else entirely. From what I have read most of you seem to be pretty honest about your views on God and/or religion and such. I notice alot of you have said you often question yourselves about God and whether he exists or not. This is completely normal even for those beggining to learn and embrace Christianity. You have every right to strive for an answer to any question you may have. Especially religion and its practices. I don't think every Christian or so called Christian always knows how to introduce Christianity to others. It mostly always comes off as a turn off to others and I can see how this may turn some people away, like some of you.

As a Christian myself I can't see ignoring this thread now I have read it. There are so many posts I don't know where to start. Though I invite anyone who has any questions about God or Christianity to please PM me, or post a message. I really want to share my beliefs with anyone who seeks answers. I hope some of you will respond. PM's are welcome. and God Bless.

Look, I'm a strong Christian too, and as much as I'd love to toss my two cents in on this sort of thing, large, public forums are a terrible place to do that.  It's nearly inconceivable to keep people on topic and out of heated arguments.  Not only that, but it's against the rules, and with that, this thread is done.
