The Truth For Youth

[George]

Isn't that overreacting a bit? Just a bit?

I dunno, if my friend burned down a whole city in a night full of people you knew all your life, I might be a tad po'd.

Earlier today I was in a room full of people talking about how God was pissed at the US for turning away from God and that is why we are getting Hurricanes.

My eyes got a little wide, but I bit my tung.

For some reason, I've been kept up tonight, realizing how much I hate the Christian (and all religions) yet admire them at the same time.

The positive thing about religion, they inspire people, people feel important or like life is worth living with religion.

They also inspire hatred or pity for those who don't follow their egocentrical beliefs that really, are probably in my opinion, just some fanciful ideals created to give people the belief that they serve something greater than themselves. Which in itself is not bad, but when you take and kill, or hate, or cast others out because of these idiocentric beliefs, you turn religion into an excuse to be a douche.

So while these close-minded egocentric baffoons turn what could inspire and help the world become a better place into hell on earth, I take a moment to look. Maybe, if everyone in the world believed in Christianity, the world would be a better place. Or maybe, if everyone in the world accepted other's beliefs, especially for the most part, those which don't really hurt anyone else or even have anything to do with you, the world would be a better place. Hell, maybe, if either of those two were true, this world would be heaven. But until then, it's a form of hell, maybe the entire bible is actually just a guide for us achieving true peace on earth and has no actual spiritual meaning.

Or maybe, it's a bunch of coincidences and grand events that happened over the course of thousands of years, taken into scripture, and transformed by rulers and other biased writings over the centuries that followed.

I mean, there hasn't been a new piece added to the bible since Jesus Has there? And whenever someone says they've seen news or heard from god, jesus, etc, our popular frame of mind turns these people out to be nut cases. Hell, if two thousand years ago, we had the frame of mind we have now, the bible probably wouldn't even exist.

And that ends my 3 in the morning, troubled mind for no reason, rant.

Edit: Or maybe I just need more Jesus in my Diet. And blood, that too.

Yeah, I know some people that are calling the hurricanes "judgements". It's bothersome only because they think it's a perfectly ok thing to happen because of that.

There has

And Christians know of this and accept it?

In which case I'm corrected on one part that for some reason is a big deal to me :/

Edit: And when did these get released?

About as much as many jews accept Jesus as the messiah.

Most of the new testament was written after Christ died.
I still can't understand why christians accept the book of revelations.

I've always wanted to study all of the world's religions and combine them into one big 'choose your own adventure'-type book, that everyone could believe in.
It would be way more effort than I'm willing to put into it though.

Now why would you bite a tree?

And a chinese tree at that.

[kedawa]

Well, it's his, so he can bite it all he wants to.

You've never heard of Mormons? The Church of Latter Day Saints?
