question(s)

[superflysuperwhite]

i doubt any of you can really answer this question.. in fact i doubt anyone can


why? and who cares?

why do you believe what you do? why do you care what others believe? why should people follow what you believe? what maks their beliefe worse or any less valid as yours? why do we judge people based on their belifes?



p.s. i dont want the obvious stated, i know people "just want to be right" and all that bull.

I see no one has responded.

[MissTruant]

Because it's not worthy of response. This forum exists as a means for debate of religious topics (ie, for or against the the concept of religion). That's why.

Very nicely put.

i'm pretty sure it is here for the general discussion of religion.

you just happen to debate everything rama

why do you believe what you do?

First I'd answer that I dont really believe in anything specific. I dont believe in God in a catholic, christian or any other way I understand others do.
Apparently that makes me an "athiest", but I dont think so, because I'd have to commit out loud saying "I dont belive in God" wouldnt I? When really all I can say is "I have not found what right for me, what I can fully have faith in yet."

Second, I dont believe in anything cause I just cant accept anything blindly. I'm stubborn and easily confused. I dont want to be fooled. I believe that to really believe in God you have to either fully commit or not at all. No half-ass "I go to church cause thats the way I was raised but its all bullshit, but oh well I went to confession so I should be goin to heaven." So until I can either experience a moment where I can let go of everything that screams doubt at me, I cant bring myself to believe in anything.

Sure ther are piece here and there that make sense to me, are right foe me, but other then that there is no definative answer I can say I believe.

why do you care what others believe?

Its always intresting to see where other people stand. To see if there is anyone else who thinks similar to myself. To see if someone else has found what I'm lookin for without even knoing it.

why should people follow what you believe?

I dont think anyone should believe anyone but themselves, cause everyone lies, and to pass on what was once a truth will only get supn into a lie. That why its all so hard to believe anything with out concrete evidence.

It is annoying tho when people say or do something like they mean it, just so thier parents will think oh boy look at what a nice kid i have, not like those devil kids who never go to church. When the parents' kid probably sells crack to kids and doesnt care on bit bout jesus, while the "non-church goers" spend thier sundays building houses for the homeless.

what makes their beliefe worse or any less valid as yours?

Thers no way in hell these billions of people with there different set of opinions on religion, can all be right. I'm sorry but they cant. Somewhere along the line it all comes downt o, someones partially right with a few debatable points, and someones wrong with maybe just a hint of started off being the truth but was twisted.

why do we judge people based on their belifes?

Cause judging them on the color of thier skin was so last millenium. Sike I'm not much for judging, my intuition sucks I've learned.
I think tho judgeing someone on thier personal beliefs, its usually cause it doesnt go along with that persons own beliefs.

"why do you believe what you do?"
Because if you be persistent and demand evidence, this is the only way that makes subjective sense.

"why do you care what others believe?"
Fundamentalism is the most detrimental thing to our society at the moment. The very principle is anti-freedom.

"why should people follow what you believe?"
See above response.

"what maks their beliefe worse or any less valid as yours?"
A lack of scientific or unbiased historical evidence and a slew of on the cuff easily spotted hypocrisies.

"why do we judge people based on their belifes?"
Don't know honestly. Maybe it's out of concern. Maybe it's selfish.

shit...

nobody gave a flying fuck about this forum until i got everyone arguing on it......this was months ago but you can see the progression of posts from "fuck religion", this forum is pointless....etc, and then i started the religious debate thread and eventually you get the convuluted shithole of arguing dumbfuck ideas and silly beliefs.

this all because i was bored and was this forums true potential, to parody the judgmental subretarded assholes that frequent this site.......it's like thousands years of religious wars and genocide personified on the internet........blind dogma on a site containing a bunch of self proclaimed anarchist (i said a bunch, not refering to all site members now)........

shit if none of you saw how detrimental to humanity a shitload of conflicting assine beliefs were before this thread you can certainly see it now......how this peaceful little ignored forum turned into the shitstorm it is now.




point being i never did give a fuck, probably never will, and my participation on this forum (though recently pretty limited cause i got bored) was soley for my amusement and to provoke free thought but mostly arguments and shit to prove, simply, that.......


everyone on this site is retarded.





except for me.


probably the most egotistical shit i've ever typed......lol


mostly true though
