No one knows for sure whats up.So be AGNOSTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AmericanJap89]

My title says it all.No one knows what the fuck is up there.Be like me.An agnostic I dont know kinda guy.Atleast all give all religions that much instead of saying I dont believe.So Ill be square with all the gods and fucked up religions like christianity.I definately though dont believe in the christian god.That seems fucking impossible and exagerated.The story was probably Mary had sex and didnt tell anyone in the fear she

would be stones like I am right now.She gave birth to some fucking con artist called christ.He was crucified for his crime and the disciples were in so much shock that they went senial and saw hallucinations of christ.Thats the end of the story.Period

[Iscariot2]

Shut up. Period.

But some people would like to find out.

Is it just me or is Iscariot a hypocritical bastard.He defends christianity yet he uses the last name of the man who turned in christ.Anybody else see something wrong with this picture.So to Iscariot fuck you.

To Tiger,I agree I cant wait to die and find the winning religion. I have 20 dollars on hinduism.If thats correct ill come back as a squirel(I know its not spelled right)and bite Iscariots ass and rip the motherfuckers tongue out after I magle his testacles and take out his eyes with a tootpick.Period. Iscariot must be on his.

Since every culture found any kind of religion, mostly to explain natural phenomenoms they couldnt explain, i am starting to think if in our age of science religions isnt needed anymore...... but u are a lame sucker anyway

Granted, the bible is myth. Anyone with two brian cells to rub together should be able to figure that out. It does not follow, however, that god is mythical.

There are many of us who know "for sure whats up" with god. The term for us is gnostic.

[UrbnTbone]

Well the "gnosis" is an ancient dogma from the middle East, that turned into "catharrism" in France, and was repressed by catholic church as heretical.

But ethymologically it means "knowledge" so the word is good if it doesn't refer to its historical meaning.

Agnostic means what you mean by gnostic: one who believes in a creative power but doesn't dare to put a label on it. In opposition to "gnostic", the dogma-based knowledge of god.

Fuck the hypocrits, miscarryot and such leeches who probably know how to be more boring to God than atheists.

Iscariot don't be so rude, this forum of all places should uphold a certain sense of civility, (eh, eh, ain't I classy). Anyway, I personally am agnostic, I see alot of proof that there is a power behind the movements and patterns in the universe. I can't claim to know any specifics though, cause I'd probably be lying. I guess the point is, although I find theology interesting I'm just concerned with living my life. If there is an afterlife well then I'll just have to wait. And fuck, If I end up in hell for not beleiving in a specific god, then not much is right with existence anyway, am I right, or am I right?

So you have seen god.You have had a actually physical conversation.I mean since you know "for sure whats up" with god you must have talked and seen him right.Im sure you have.

Shut the hell up.You fucking cristians have no fucking idead.Anything that happens thats good its a miracle.Anything bad its the work of satan.The only reason theres so many christians is all the great kingdoms chose it.France(Charlemange),Byzantium(Justinan), and England(Alfred The Great) are only a few examples of kings who chose christianity as the ONLY RELIGION IN THEIR KINGDOM.So all these people were maid to be christian and their children were maid to be christian and their children were maid to be christian but somewhere along the way they start wanting christianity so from then on millions were dedicated christians.Then came the inquisitions and more people were maid to be christians.Here we are today with fucking hypocrites.

And you are? I find it far-fetched for anyone to call others hyporicts without being hypocrits themselves. Arms didn't even make reference to being christian, You just seem to have some personal vendetta. Furthermore you don't give indication to what you believe, rather what you don't believe. Could it be you're covering yourself from others making the same "HYPOCRITE!" response to you.

I assume gnosis (the concept not the history) is similar to enlightenment. It feels good to have a feeling of being graced with something larger then yourself, larger then anything your mind could have previously concieved.

Perhaps it's a bit arrogant to claim that you know the score, but it feels good, it can do good as long as you try to inspire rather then force or be condescending, and it's for damn sure better then wishy-washy "I'll never know so I'll never try" agnostic attitude.
