In nomine Patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti

you are all forgiven of your sins

oh thank YOU so much Philly for your forgiveness and I forgive you to, now if only the Father could be so kind as to actualy substantiate himself and forgive humankind..........*crickets sound off*

There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages.

for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,and many enter thur it
but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,and only a few find it (matthew7:13-14)

Can't we split the difference and locate some narrow broads? cn

Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you.

...that 'sky' is your mind, they are saying He lives in your mind (and you in His). Hell / Center of Earth = same thing (but also refers to a digestive system ). But, if you care to go on believing in the rest of that stuff, well, ok!

Indeed, there is truth in the bible and a lot of those truths are metaphoric riddles, I never met anyone that clued in to these things. I think Islam, Christianity, and any other religion that creates separation and hate in their books are just extremely corrupted truths, thats what men do, corrupt the shit out of everything, the majority of men at least... Did you know pope John Paul said there was no hell and he apologized publicly at the Vatican in 99? I dont know the exact quote but he said you create your own hell with depression, stress, anger etc, just a state of mind. Hell is being cut off from happiness, hell is being cut off from god.

That being said, I cant help it to not respect most christians. (you cool shit though, smRt! lol) They destroyed my peoples culture and the majority of my people now believe in Christ, submitting to the religion that raped their lives. That and theres just a lot of ignorant christians that think your going to hell.

...great post, thanks. The RCC has done a lot (bad and good), but if it represents a group of people then it should have good and bad aspects which represent that group. Did I write that clearly? What I mean to say is that we're all fckd up - human even
