Wasn't there already one of these threads that got extended to like 100 commandments? It's in here somewhere I tell you...

1. Thou shalt not beg.
2. Thou shalt not whine.
3. Thou shalt use appropriate spelling and grammar.
4. Thou shalt not rant on forum unless thy name is Michaelb.
5. Thou shalt bow down with utmost obedience to thy devs and GMs.

I lost ideas.

...

thou shalt not suck......

"Thou shall not mention ponies"

I don't like them either.

BUT WAIT
YOU JUST MENTIONED THEM

Actually, I've been pretty iffy about religion for several years now... I'm agnostic.

-Whatever language you speak, speak well.
-Get your own goddamn money.
-Read and read well. I hate repeating myself. Stop glossing over everything like a presumptuous assbag.
-The pink crescent is a SHIELD. STOP ATTACKING IT.
-When you hear "tink" and see pink, you are doing jack cit. STOP ATTACKING.
-Fire is a status; it is not "weak" to anything.
-Stop spamming Levi charges and Polaris shots. Some of us would actually like to keep enemies in one place.
-Stop running all over the arena. I'd rather not have to die to five billion bullets.
-Stop whining on the forums. About OOO, about SK, about ponies, whatever. If you have an objection, raise it like an intelligent being.
-Think before you say, write, or post something. Goddamn.

Fire is a status; it is not "weak" to anything.

EHHHH HHHHEHHMMMMMMM

Some monsters take less fire damage than others. Like gremlins. The more we know.

Unless you mean like... fire-THEMED monsters are not... say... weak to freeze. In that case, you should have been more clear (these are Commandments after all...)

I'm not saying I think all beliefs are hypocritical; I have my own reasons for not truly believing in Christianity.

I grew up Christian then drifted out slowly. Plenty of research and Bible reading thanks to Sundays.

Not every tiny part in the Bible can be taken literally. Part of reading the Bible will in fact require you to be a good reader and truly understand what is going on.

Not saying you are a bad reader, this is the interwebs. You can either be a genius or be as dumb as potato. How would I know? (In other words, don't take offense and think I am calling you stupid. Cat in the box w/ poison. I consider you both dumb and smart until I open the box).

Also, you don't just "swear allegiance" minutes before you die. Your supposed to repent (we are ALL sinners btw) and truly believe and whatnot (and that might take more than just a few minutes before you die). Then, God is the only one that can make judgements after you die.

I don't believe in any religion, but I am still open to the ideas they put forward.

I have my own reasoning for why I believe our 'gods' are fictional. Reasons I will not state for fear of riling up the religious community.

Still, I keep in mind that logic can only work so far, and that there are many inexplicable things that MAY be the work of spiritual beings or other beings of the like.

So I respect your faith in whichever religion, as long as it allows me my own views.

However, beware supremacists that think there is no truth other than their god, and that all non-believers should be crucified etcetcetc... 'cuz really, thinking like that just annoys me. Kluklux clan for the white supremacists sorta thing (no offense 'white' people. I don't exactly have a list of cults to use as examples)

Also, blind faith kinda irks me too. Like not worrying when you fall off a cliff because you believe your god will protect you from harm, because I find that's just silly. HOPING he'll help is fine, thanking him if you don't die is fine too, asking him to 'guide your steps' if you don't know the path is somewhat fine too, but saying he will protect you from harm? That's a bit far-fetched. God probably has more important things to attend to.

So yeah. Agnostic I think. Not religious, but not Atheist either.

@Dukeplatypus I agree that most Christians don't read the Bible enough, but I actually have read the whole thing cover-to-cover, I'm almost done with my second run through. You seem to believe that there is no scientific evidence for Christianity, but the world is full of it. Just to name a few: The law of Causality (everything that had a beginning had a cause. The Universe had a beginning, therefore it had a cause), the complete lack of intermediate forms in the fossil record (look up the Cambrian explosion), or the origins of life (since it is a scientific law that life never comes from non-life). I expect you're thinking something like "I've never seen God therefore he doesn't exist", but why would you expect something that is non-physical by definition to manifest itself in physical ways?

In addition, you claim to be a man of science, but your stated reason for not believing in the Bible, Christ, or God is that "I don't like them". Does that really sound scientific to you?

"I refuse to accept faith.... as a way to justify my wrongdoings by just swearing allegiance to a man who died some 2000 years prior, minutes before I die." Faith in Christ is not something that will just happen minutes before you die, it is committing your life to the One who died to save you. Faith doesn't justify your wrongdoings, everything I have done wrong in my life is just as wrong as it was before i accepted Christ, but the difference is that I've been forgiven. I deserve to burn in Hell for all eternity, but thanks to Jesus' sacrifice, I don't have to, and neither do you.

@Trevelliath I agree that some of the stories in the Bible are merely moral lessons, (the good Samaritan for example) but whenever they are things that didn't really happen, they are very clearly labeled as parables. The majority of the Bible is clearly labeled as Historical fact. The claims of the Bible about the history of Israel, the plagues on Egypt, Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and the details of the early church are all very clearly meant to be taken literally.

"In Judaism, you can only be forgiven by the ones you have wronged, not by those who are closer to God" In Christianity, you are not forgiven by those who are closer to God, you are forgiven by God and God alone

"I don't agree with the idea of living a morally correct life in order to go to Heaven and avoid eternal suffering" Neither do I. Living a morally correct life does absolutely nothing to bolster your chances of getting into heaven. In the eyes of our Creator, we are all sinful and wretched creatures. I deserve to go to heaven exactly as much as Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, or Genghis Khan did. Thankfully, Jesus gave us the free gift of salvation through his death on the cross, all we need to do is accept it.

Since you're Jewish, that means that you and I have more common ground than people of most other faiths. I would encourage you to look over the Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament (I'm sorry, i don't know what you call it), and see how many of those were fulfilled by Jesus Christ. It might surprise you.

@Psychodestroyer "think there is no truth other than their god" So, I take it you're one of those people who thinks that we can all be right? Every path leads to the top of the mountain sort of thing? Well, I'm sorry, but it's made very clear in the Bible that there is one and only one way into heaven, and that is faith in Jesus Christ. I honestly wish this was the case, I would love it if everyone got saved, but they're not. So, as a follower of Christ, it is my duty to do everything in my power to help people come to faith in Jesus Christ, and in that be saved from the fires of hell.

" blind faith kinda irks me" Me too. I hate it when people believe in something without any rational reason to do so. I do extensive research into the logic and science behind my faith (see my response to Dukeplatypus). The Bible constantly challenges it's readers to "investigate and see if these claims are true". Christians don't get brownie points for being stupid.

As far as your analogy about the cliff goes, God never promises to make your life perfect once you believe in him. He doesn't fix every problem, protect you from every danger, or make you rich. If you don't believe me, ask the thousands of Christians who are killed for their faith every day. What he does promise is that there's more to life than this world. That once your life is over, you will get to spend eternity in heaven with him. And that's good enough for me.
