I see a lot of religious debate here rather than lore debate. I kind of expected that. Sorry, Christians and I don't really get along anymore. Ever since I was mugged by "Christians" for my lifestyle "choice", I refuse to believe that any part of it is good. I was driven out of my school for it, and driven to suicide, all because "God said so". A lot of my family abandoned me, and still openly trash me. All in the name of Christianity and the teachings of God. I'll happily burn in whatever you people call Hell if it means I don't have to spend time with people like that But let me guess: I need to just "get over it", right?

  • As Christians, we are to be set aside. A peculiar people. Why? So we can dedicate ourselves to God. God is Christ. What did Jesus do? Jesus sat with the sinners and ate dinner with them and had fellowship with them. We are to speak the Truth in love. We can't judge someone's eternal resting place. No matter what their loves look like. But we can judge actions as the scripture instructed. But you know the only people Jesus got angry, indignant and violent with? PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HIS CHILDREN. The Pharisees, the money changers, THE RELIGIOUS HARD LINERS. Because they only wanted power over people instead of showing people the love of God. There are Christians out there who want to love you. They may tell you things you don't want to hear about your lifestyle. But if they care about you, they will do it in love! I'd rather love someone and keep the communication lines and relationship open than to disown someone and never speak to them again. Then what good am i?! You weren't treated any worse than Christ. At least you weren't crucified(literally) by your own people (the Romans carried out the execution but only at the behest of the pharisees. And before we get into the whole "who killed Christ" debate, it was all of humanity because we needed a savior). I don't say that to be mean. My main point is as Christians, we are not called to be a good - time all the time band of fairy tales and sunshine kids. The Bible says His word and our allegiance to him would divide households and bring persecution to us. It never fails to amaze me.how many Christians think that their following Christ means all people will be nothing but on their best behavior around them. Christ suffered. We are servants of Christ. Is any servant better than their master? All the apostles but John died gruesome, horrible deaths. Listen, if you pray and dig with a sincere heart into God's word with study guides and real, objective open eyed genuine curiosity, God will reveal himself to you. I tell people, don't be afraid to test God. If you sincerely want to know if He's real and if He is what Christians say he is so you can know and follow the Truth, He will meet you. If you're just wasting His time, I can't promise you anything except no matter what, He will always love you and He has so much love to give. God bless you in all your ways.

  • Surely an omnipotent being has power over time. I don't think our linear concept of temporal flow is anywhere near how Christ sees it. Especially if you believe the scripture when it says God formed and knew us from the foundation of the world and made the day stop for Joshua and the day go backwards for Hezekiah. Our concept of time is based on our revolutions as a planet, the moon's orbit, and our yearly travel around the sun. In another solar system, time doesn't operate in the same fashion. Neither does it near a black hole. It's actually a cool subject to study. Sorry. Didn't mean to go off on a tangent there.

  • How do you know your mugger(s) were Christian? By these standards, if you were bullied and "mugged" by Mexicans, you'd hate all people of Hispanic descent? You're -blam!-ing stupid.

  • My name comes from my school's mascot - it is in no way indicative of my gender. You really should stop making assumptions about me when you have no idea about it.

  • No, not really. I've heard it like 1000 times. It might sound original to you, but maybe you just haven't been around long enough.

    Hmm. Maybe because they told me? They screamed that they were doing what God said they should. Did I say I hated all Christians? No. I said we don't get along. Don't put words in my mouth. You're getting implications from my words that I did not make. Read what I said again - I never said I hated anyone.
