so how do you think us non-religous people feel right now?



And i'm sorry, but if religions can't be spoken about in public schools, they shouldn't be here- on a piblc forum.

IMO go join a religion forum, not hog our bandwith.

If you think about our country's beginnings, not being able to speak about religion in public schools is actually a very sad thing. Settlers came to America in an attempt to get away from being persecuted for their faith. Why? Because government got involved in religion, which it should not do. I'm sure we can all agree with that. But, the way I see it, not permitting religion to be spoken about in public schools is a form of religious oppression by the government. They are getting involved in religion by suppressing the right to "practice" your faith in school. Whether you believe in God or in the flying spaghetti monster, I do not believe that the government should be able to tell you when you can or when you cannot discuss or "practice" your faith. And then there's the whole discussion on freedom of speech, which is another long topic altogether that is better fit for a different place and time. But that's just me. Everyone has their own opinion on this. Don't mean to step on anyone's toes.

Where do posts like this get us. I think the best thing we all can do these days is debate, it helps you learn about other people's beliefs and thought processes. Attack posts from EITHER side get us nowhere quick.

Agreed. I go to a large university and have lived with athiests, Muslims, fellow Christians, and people with all sorts of other beliefs. It's never been any problem whatsoever. At most we'll talk about our beliefs and leave it at that. Sure...here or there one of us may try to get the other to consider our beliefs as opposed to theirs, but, when done with respect, it never causes any strife. As you said, attacks from EITHER side get us nowhere quick. Especially when concerning religion/beliefs or politics.

To all fellows Christian believers: Merry Christmas to you and yours. Stay strong and believe in the Lord our God. We shall see each other soon in his house.

x4 Merry Christmas!

The whole reason why Jim made this thread was to see see who believes.

So, what happens to those individuals that don't "believe" ? Are they going to be frowned on, or looked down upon within this site?
Am I, along with others whom don't "believe" going to get banned? It seems to me that this threads purpose is to "rule out" the non-believers. It is seriously looking that way.

That is just my two cents.

P.S. Debating should not be done here. Take that shit somewhere else. That goes to people of all religions, along with Atheists.

Damn, you taking this personal. chill.

This thread was made to just see who the Christians are not to look down upon the others who don't believe. We were just wondering who they were THATS IT. How many times do i have to say it? :roll:

I just dont think a moderator should be going for petty name calling.

94mark3 asked what people think of atheists and I replied, if you don't want to know what people think don't ask. BTW are you going to celebrate Christmas tomorrow with your family, just wondering since you are an atheist and all?

Merry Christmas to you all as well.

 

[eldeeinc]

Merry Christmas to all my fellow CI members; glad and very proud to put my faith in my Lord and personal Savior Jesus Christ!!!

It's one thread. It's not the law of the website. No one is saying "You must be Christian or you will get banned." You guys are just pulling shit out of no where now. If you're not Christian, get the fuck out. Nobody cares, they simply want to know WHO IS. Nothing BAD will happen for not being a Christian, or for being another religion.

Now I know what caused the Holy Wars. >_>

Honestly I don't see the big deal with this club. The U.S. Constitution grants freedom of religion to citizens here. And it's not like they're imposing Christianity onto anybody in this forum so far as I can tell. I don't subscribe to any particular religion, but why is it a problem if certain members peaceably do so?To me it's just another way to bring car guys together. Plus, I've never seen Jim make anything but kind comments on this forum. So how about everyone chill out? :what:

 

[whitedc4]

i like MY religion because MY religion makes ME feel good. when you see a add that says "spread the word" on some website what do you do? "copy and paste" so here let me copy and paste a little for you.

God makes ME feel happy, complete, and alive. I have NEVER felt this way before. I am NOT bashing non bellievers in fact i wouldn't have known who they were if they hadn't posted in said thread. THEY seem to have been asking to start a fight.

that is all.

 

[BigMac88]

Indeed. Religion is a personal matter. My spirituality matters to ME. I personally don't make a big public deal about what I believe, but I don't care if anyone else does as long as the don't force it upon others or use it to hurt others.

It seems the only ones who want to start anything in this thread are the non-Christians. Again, I dont think this thread was made for people to tell us their opinions on why they aren't Christians or what they have against the Christian religion.

If an atheist or Jew started a thread on here about starting an atheist or Jewish group I wouldn't even bother clicking on it as I am neither an atheist or Jew wanting to join those respective groups.

Now, if an atheist started a thread wanting to debate the existence of God, then I would respond. If a Jew started a thread preaching about how their religion approves of abortion and homosexuality and shoving their views down others members throats, I would respond to that. If a Muslim put up a thread about how we should blow up people up unless we follow the laws of Islam, certainly I would post on that.

This thread was NOT INTENDED TO CONVERT ANYONE OR FORCE BELIEFS OR DEBATE RELIGION, it was simply made for people on this site who are Christians to join a group with other fellow Christians! The OP made this clear.

[Ominous G2]

Hmmm how could all of this have been avoided..... MAYBE if people kept this shit to themselves. Nobody ever seemed to grasp the concept of that debate.

 

[jdmjim]

thanks everyone for the support on this, it was never supposed to be a debate of anything or what your supposed to do or who is better. im proud to be a christian. i know what he's done in my life for me. i'm perfectly fine with your beliefs or non beliefs. i will admit that this kinda upsets me of some certain remarks made because of what i and others believe on here,but im told to dust off and move on. merry christmas guys. remember we got the greatest gift of all

 

[thenoxus1]

Aussie, no I do not celebrate Christmas or any other holiday for that matter, and I was raised Jewish. I didn't ask for your opinion at all, you just implied that I was a fool with your biblical reference. I did no name calling or any other disrespect. You simply didn't like what I think, and acted like a kid on a playground and resorted to name calling. That's what my issue is with you. If you like a religion, awesome, if you don't, you should be entitled to that too.
