anyway, yeah, both sides refuse to listen to anyone because one extreme acts on faith and the other acts on cold hard facts and nothing else.

It didn't use to be like this, though. I recently became fed up with Christians. I now am totally sick of Christians. After all the hypocrisy veiled behind a "moral high ground," the unabashed and unapologetic intolerance for gays (if you're a real Christian, you stone gays if you find them having sex ), the "we're right and you're wrong" attitude, just all of it.

Half of the people here now are anti-Islam after the govt sponsored terror of late, so so what? I'm proud that I am now anti-Christian, but let it be known that I wasn't anti-Christian until recently, like last month, I guess. Before, I was just critical, but now, I am anti.

So, there you have it. I'm glad that the govt is going to start cracking down on Christians, mostly because of the irony of it all. Now, that's not true, it's mostly because Christians are finally getting their just desserts. I know it's bad to support govt attack on one group because eventually all will suffer, but I get a pleasure out of watching it happen to Christians.

I've had some people tell me I'm going to hell because I don't believe in their god. I've actually lost a job once because I told a christian boss I didn't believe! Two days later... out I go. Does god teach this kind of behavior or can I rest easy knowing that old bat is going to hell for being so prejudice against my beliefs?

The Simpson's portrays Flanders as the extreme Christian, and Rev. Lovejoy as a more temperate Christian who tries to show Christianity in a more modern, socially active, light. Where Flanders denies his children experiences that would allow them to grow as people, Lovejoy fights bloodthirsty baboons bare handed.
I think the overall message here is to give up the old ways of Christianity, and allow for the growth of the religion. No more inquisitions, witch trials, cross burnings, and believing that anyone who doesn't think like you is going to burn in hell for eternity, and that they deserve it.

i'm lost as to why 'suzy ryan' and others keep on insisting on a conspiracy. forget about people writing on this board, because christianity is not solely targeted. sure there's harsh opinionated words said against it, but there also is against rational science explanations and evolution. the only difference is, is that there 'is' a christian movement trying to push evolution and science out of the school in favor of ID and christian science, which they're forcing in. it's even gotten to the point where there are christian summer schools and camps where christian parents send their children to brainwash them of all the information they learnt from the passed year.
whatever happened to the seperation of church and state, yet still have prayers and forced christian science and ID in schools, and on your money it says 'in god we trust'. it wouldn't be so bad, yet we live in a 'democracy' that's so diverse with religion that it's unfair to have 'christian' prayers in school and 'christian' science over other relgions...you know it's not just christian children and atheists that go to schools. you have the general term for the monotheistic christian god on your money...it's not 'in allah we trust', or 'in buddha we trust'.
so if there's any sort of conspiracy going on, it's on the christians behalf and not the atheists. you've already got prayer in school, take your kids to christian summer camps to brainwash them with 'christian' science, you want ID taught on the same level as other scientific topics, you've got your god on every bill printed in america...what more do you want?...and you have to expect people to speak up against you because all of that above is wrong. in god we trust shouldnt be on your money, christian prayer shouldnt be done in schools in a mass classroom of diverse religion, atheists and so on, ID shouldn't be taught in a science classroom because it's not a 'science'...and this isn't being anti-christian...this is just being rational.

i think what 'Rasobasi420' had to say, pretty much summed up your comment. not sure if you realised but the 'simpsons' still go to church. marge is the only one who seems to enjoy on any level, but they all still go. dispite what you say about lisa, on one episode the end of the world of something, the flanders you see going up to heaven, and the 'LISA' starts to get pulled up...but homer's like 'oh no you don't'. in the same way marge thinks she's doing what is best for her kids, ned flanders is also doing the same, except in a more strict way. in america you will find mother's like marge and families pushed to go to church, and you will also find a ned flanders with cable, with 200 channels all blocked out.
and sure homer takes advantage of ned's generocity etc, but on many episodes homer is shown maybe to be jealous of ned, for example ned has a pretty ripped body on one episode and all the women seem to adore him for it, and on another homer sees ned with his family all happy and wishes his own family was like that.

In a very direct way, it sounded like you were saying Christians are the Anti-Christian conspiracy, which candidly doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. If you're saying there are people who claim to be "Christian" that are trying to tear it down, that's possible, but that's not the conspiracy I know.
Originally posted by truthseeka

The truth is the truth no matter who it comes from. I have no prejudices against anyone's personal beliefs.

All the best sitting on that pride, and thanks for helping to prove my point. In order to have an Anti-Christian Conspiracy you first have to have Anti-Christians. Now we know who they are, we need to look at what they do to foundationally establish this position
Originally posted by truthseeka

So you're looking at the people who call themselves "Christian" and not Christ? Clearly this is not the point of Christianity.

I had no intentions of doing that truthseeka, nor do I find that funny. I'm sorry you've resigned yourself to this fate.

I'm not "anti-Islam" because that means I'd feel some kind of anger or hatred toward the people who believe these things...and I do not.

That's pretty twisted thinking. Hope the 1st amendment prevails, but will not be surprised if it does not. And, I hope that you'll never have to endure any amount of suffering.

Don't know, how many? I can tell you that they could not have been following Christ as Christians are told by him to do as he says which is: "Love your neighbor" and "Love your enemy". Do you see a difference between those who follow these words and those who do not? While you're at it, how many Christians have been killed for their beliefs? I can tell you 25,000 people that believe the same thing I did were killed in France in a raid while they were sleeping shortly after the crusades.

I'm going to have to call a linguistics engineer because your English looks in disrepair. If you're saying that we were damned because we wanted to bump God off his seat and be all knowing and powerful like him, then I think that's accurate. Take heart though, it doesn't have to be that way.

Instead of god (maybe if I add the name and in bold you'll figure out who I'm talking about rather then playing dumb to evade the question like a good christian) acting the way he did in the bible, killing all sinner's, having man kill them etc... Why can't god do as he preach's or why can't he just come down and say hey yo, wut up G, why you tripping. Does he really feel the need to say he's all forgiving/all loving and then act the opposite? And expect people to follow him for that?
