Description
Because some people seem to think they're synonymous.DON'T JUDGE MY BELIEFS BEFORE YOU KNOW ME.
Anyway my faith is probably the only thing i will ever get truly riled up about. Because as much as people may disbelieve it God means everything to me, i wouldn't be who i am without him. And just because i am labeled as a 'christian' i am not a homophone, i don't believe God's love is exclusive and i don't think everyone is going to hell.
So as much as people say, 'not all Muslims are terrorists' (TRUE) remember not all Christians are jerks, don't judge someone on what they believe before you find out what they actually believe. It may be quite different from the stereotypical view you may have. Most Christians are amazing wonderful generous people. And a lot of other people are too. God loves everyone
Also i felt it appropriate to quote a reply i wrote down the page, for anyone whose dropped in. I thought it was relevant to further flesh out my reasoning behind the stamp to avoid conflict, as is my main goal in life
DeadMansTouch wrote - This message goes both ways you know. Just because someone isn't a christian doesn't mean they're jerks.
Namakox wrote - Indeed you are correct, and i get where you are coming from. Forming an opinion of someone by saying "your not christian, so you must be a God hating jerk" is incredibly hypocritical and stupid. However that was most definitely not my intention, i am not directing this at every/any person who doesn't believe in my God, nor assuming that this is what most people think, it is merely a general idea/opinion that builds on the other ideas people have had about other sub groups in the world. An idea that says, "Hey, you wouldn't assume all Gays have HIV so why would you assume all Christians are bible pushing morons?"
If i based an opinion on someone because they said i was a jerk purely because of my faith. My opinion of them would not be formed on the basis of their religion, colour, sexuality or otherwise. It would be because they neglected to try and hear or understand my views before forming their opinion of me. A basis of ones actions rather than a bias.
Personally I form my opinions based on what i actually know or see in a person as opposed to pre determined assumptions, like researching before writing a book (although that sounds terribly clinical ) And if someone was that biased i admit i would most definitely not think very highly of them, i am a human and i get as defensive about my beliefs as any other human. However i would try to reason with them and try to understand why they felt that way.
Anyway i tend to rant about this stuff so forgive me for that and like i said i understand your meaning but rest assured this stamp is not any kind of finality, it's just something to keep in mind.
That's all

Your not alone on this one me and my friend are agnostic but we still can't get why some people think that the 1% of hateful and crazy Christians make up and define every Christian which is just crap. And that 1% are probably the reason why but idk.

Yes! THANK you!
As an Atheist who has had less than pleasurable experiences with people of the Christian faith, it's really nice to see that there are some Christians out there who don't automatically hate someone just because they don't believe in what they believe in.

Indeed, whether or not you believe in the God doesn't mean you shouldn't be respectful to somebody.

Oh...i didn't know that. I don't necessarily like religion but I don't trash talk Christians. I respect their beliefs at least. I wouldn't make hurtful stamps about it. I'm in the middle of being agnostic and atheist and I respect Christians. I don't agree with some of her stamps, honestly but there at least some I agree with.

Funny becuase recently I stumbled upon these few verses (Colossians 2:20-23)
www.biblegateway.com/passage/?…
In summary
If you are dead with Christ from the principles of the world why are you livining under law as if you live in the world. (law? what law? read on)
law:touch not, taste no, handle not
those who disobey the law will perish, accordding to men? commandments and doctrines of men?
Of course though, these law do have a a word of wisdom/show of wisdom in:
- will worship
- humility
- neglecting of the body (fleshly desires) - not in any honour to the satisfying of
the flesh (so like: meat, sleap, perversion, murder, etc.)
What's being said is (final breifing)
if you are dead with Christ, why are you fulfilling relgion: a set of man's ideas of what God want's?

I don't know how to answer you, but my stance in religion has changed. I see myself as agnostic, but i respect people who convert to whatever religion they most likely fit into. I won't convert to any religion, though. I just don't see myself doing that. Ever.
I do believe some of the things the bible says, just some of it. there's a few things the bible says that i will NEVER agree with. Not in a million years.

The thing is though. Religions are all fundamentally different and superficially similar. If they are all fundamentally diferent, can they all be true?

PhantomOfDestiny In reply to DeverexDrawer [2015-11-26 05:34:31 +0000 UTC]
well some people believe that the religion they are involved in is true, so I can't judge them for it.
What do you think of it? Cause you seem like a better debater than I am, right now.
