    This is why I don't like Religion

    Did I ever make it clear that I'm an existentialist?

    Correct, I would not say "THIS IS THE TRUTH111" if I picked up a bible from a local bookstore, but I will detract different things from it, just like I would the Qur'an, Five Classics, Talmud, Kojiki, or Tripitaka. It pretty much circulates back to my main argument. The Bibles truths and teachings are relative and differ entirely to every person. Concurrently, isn't every religious texts just a series of truths? The philosophical answer is no; the pragmatic answer is yes.

    Yeah it does. Repeatedly. Of course most of that stuff is in the Old Testament, so a lot of sects get around that by just claiming that the first edition rules are no longer valid. But some of it still lingers on even in the NT. Cite? I included "to my knowledge" to indicate that I could be wrong. Also, there are a fucking shitload of rules in the Old Testament, to pick one fish out of the barrel, that Christianity simply ignores. Hating people for their beliefs? Ironycakes.

    I hope they just get even better. Hopefully they just spent a day lifting weights and snorting 8-balls of coke to see what kind of crazy ass shit they could design. If you could put one thing into SSBB right now, what would it be? Character, stage, item? I'd love to put in Anne Frank. That would be fun.

    How, exactly, is cultural nationalism different, or moreover more acceptable, than religious pride? Both are dangerous, but the infinitely more wars caused by cultural nationalism seem to be mulled over for religious pride. You can't blame people for not venturing outside themselves. You just can't. It's not a religious thing, it's not a cultural thing; it's a human being thing.

    Really? That is what Christianity really teaches? News to me. As someone who went to church for 15 years, I never experienced any kind of isolation or alienation when I expressed strong doubts about Christianity and the nature of God. In fact, they were more willing to discuss it with me. The Bible is idealistic. It's not a set of rules punishable by pain of death, it's a set of guidelines on how to live your life. Sure, there's some weird shit in there but that was Two-Fucking-Thousand Years Ago. I guess you could tie that into how civilizations get gradually more and more liberal-minded as time passes, but the fact still remains. The crazy shit in there is mostly (if not all) parts that weren't records of Jesus, and are passages written by other people, claiming that God told it to them, whatever. There is an infinite number of degrees in which to interpret or judge the Bible, and it still remains a source of disagreement today (see: TSM, world). I, nor 9x% of Christians, don't agree with every passage of the Bible. To my knowledge, the Bible does not specifically instruct its followers to be ignorant pricks, nor to fight to the death to defend their religion.

    You are making the worst cliche of a shitty sweeping generalization. You know, not all Christians are robots. Not all Christians are the "God Warrior" woman from Trading Spouses. Not all Christians are door-to-door Mormons. Some are, but the vast majority aren't. To say that a Christian who is a good, loving person is that way in spite of being Christian is to say that they knowingly and willfully act that way in direct confrontation of their religion, which I HIGHLY doubt is the case. Being a good person and being Christian are not mutually exclusive things. I'm not a Christian, but I used to be, and I'm exposed to Christians regularly. I know that I can't say the lion's share of these people are ignorant pricks.

    How did this happen?

    I took out my entire bank account's content plus 4 dollars, (somehow, I'm pretty sure that's impossible.) then the bank kept charging me service fee after service fee until i was $60 in the hole. Now, I was gonna go pay it off gradually this week, and I got another notice in the mail. I was opening it expecting another $4 or $20 service charge, but apparently, there was a $60 donation or bank error in my favor that put my bank account back to $0. I have no idea how this happens, but I hope I don't owe the mob money now.

    I'm immature? I just don't like her new avatar and her posts. Haven't I expressed that? Her new avatar annoys me, but I had no problem with her old one.

    This is why I don't like Religion

    I didn't say I hate religious people. I said I hate religion. At the same time, I don't judge anyone for being religious, and I don't even think that their beliefs are wrong. I believe that one person's belief is just as right as the next persons. I know she's not the norm for religious people. I grew up in a christian family, and went to church, as well as catholic school, until I was 16. I hate religion because it turns alot of people into the woman in the video. Most religious folk also have the impression that anyone who isn't of their religion will go to hell. People like this are just taking it one step further. And hey, maybe their right. But personally, I don't like it. I've seen alot of prejudice come out of religion. You know what it feels like for your step mother to get pissed off and say "This shouldn't be on T.V! That's SICK!" Everytime Will and Grace comes on? Especially at a time in my life when I was experimenting with homosexuality. And why? Because it's against God.. Yeah, alright. People like that are why I, personally, dislike religion. I've seen it set up more boundries between people than do any good in my life. Though I do understand why some people are religious, and don't fault anyone for it. Unless they are the type like that, who I think are ignorant. So, because I dislike religion, People hate anti-religious people? Wow, I never knew my opinion was that powerful. One Hundred Percent Bullshit

    This Week In Baseball 8/20-8/26

    Chone Figgins is a ridiculous player. He's a devilishly fast baserunner and picks up singles and shit all the times and turns them into runs on a hit and run. Not to mention Reggie Willits who has the highest percentage of singles of hits of any player in baseball. Ryan Budde is not a good catcher; I miss Molina.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrwP5TaINAQ...ted&search= I love black people. I really do. I think this is why black people hate white people. Aside from the slavery thing too. But we use words like "unwelcome" and "insulted" and "hurts my feelings".

    I'm fine with cleavage and would like at least 100 moar tirts here, but talking about how cleavage is a cry for attention is stupid. I'm just annoyed with the stupid facial expression on her avatar and the shitty quality of her posts. There.
