Religious?

[Mcwop]

This is your god - Bow DOWN!

Ullr, a.k.a. Uller, Ullin, Holler, Vulder, and Ull, is a pre-Viking era Nordic God and he kept fine company with the likes of Odin, Thor, and other esteemed deities. Among his many skills, he was the god of skiing, archery, hunting, and was known to be quite promiscuous (which he may have inherited from his mother Sif, the Goddess of Fertility).

I don't know what to say besides: you first.

I voted just to give Blurred something to get all freaky-deaky psycho-religious about the next time we have a disagreement.

My grandmother once said "Religion is for the weak. I don't need to cling to a rope like a coward." Kind of some fucked up shit to say to a six year old on his way home from Sunday school.

this is pretty funny considering it comes from a "reverend"

So its ok for people to talk about anything on this board, as long as it has NSR or NSFW in the thread title and it includes no mention of religion? WTF! People get completely heated up about someone stating thier belief in god but you better not think about telling them they are not allowed to talk about their athiest beliefs. Whats the matter? Does someone talking about god and Jesus give you the creeps? Are you so insucure in your own beliefs that someone talking about a different religion scares the crap out of you? I don't get it.

I clicked Christian. I have not been to church more then twice in the last year, and I feel that a lot of what the church does and says is BS. That bieng said I still believe in the basic tenents of Christianity: There is one god, he created you, so he deserves your love and respect. His son walked this earth, he died for you, he deserves your love and respect.

Christianity is all about bieng a good person, the ten commandments are something everyone should live by regardless of religion (i guess except for the one about only believing in one god. I believe it but if you don't thats your choice.)

There, I stated my religous beliefs on the internet. Is everyone going to tear me a new ass? Maybe, I don't care. However, if I had said I was an athiest no one would have a problem with me. Niether the athiests nor the christians, but because I choose to believe in god someone (most likely an athiest) will probably rant and rave.

Good for the people who are proud of what they are and good for the others who respect their thoughts

Your head is in the mud you bible thumping freak!























Actually, you just made post of the day. I agree with you completely.

[grrrr]

Easy there PA. So far you is the only one to rant and rave about your religion in this thread.

I'm not going to bash on you for your religion. Don't bash me for mine. It is, however, solely up to me. Hence I will not discuss it.

I am glad you are not going to bash me for my religion, and I don't believe I said anything that would indicate I was going to bash you for your beliefs, I appoligise if you read it that way. If you choose not to share your beliefs, that is fine, and it is your right. My words were not aimed at you. They were aimed at those (well one person really) that have a problem with those whom are willing to discuss their religion.

That bieng said, most of the posts in this thread were just made for amusement, and the one about the dyslexic person was damn funny. My rant was based more on life experiences then what goes on on this board.

It seems that some people who love to shout about their first ammendment rights bieng infringed upon are the same ones who feel that someone speaking about religion infringes on their own religous freedom. It seems hypicritical to me.

[grrrr]

I certainly did not mean to imply that I thought you would bash me for my religion. My post was made as a live and let live expression. I'm more concerned that the very thread was started as an attempt to kindle atheist vs. Christian antagonism.

Certainly there are a few here that look for opportunities to criticize anyone who believes differently than they do. Fortunately, very few. And there are bona fide issues in our society in which the choice of religion weighs upon our collective decisions. But trying to spark such a debate on the basic issue of what someone believes, separate from the issues of state politics, rights or societal responsibilities is of little use.

When was the last Atheist crusade or jihad? When was the last time an atheist FORCED you to pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth? Is it an atheist symbol that gets burned when the KKK gets together for a lynching?

[schuss]

I'm a schussist. I believe in a god, since I lack a better term, because otherwise I'd have been talking to no one all these years. I worship at many temples, some mountains, some machines (motorcycles in particular), all of which gladly welcome my attention as my only donation. I believe in treating all people nicely, and trying not to let things get to me. We like scotch too.

[bluewood_skier]

uhhhh....I'm Catholic.

Never, and that is a good thing. Fighting in the name of religion is wrong. It is, in fact, one of the many problems I have with the church. I don't feel the church, or anyone else, has the right to push their beliefs on anyone, however they do have the right to share said beliefs with anyone that wants to listen. I have a problem with people who try to take away those rights. I understand it is annoying when people coming to your door trying to convert you, or when someone stands on a soapbox on the street corner spouting fire and brimstone, but if you don't want to hear it all you have to do is ignore it.

If they come at you with guns and demand that you listen, then you have a right to take up arms against them, and I will be right next to you defending your right to believe what you want. But when was the last time that happened in this country?

[BobMc]

Wow, whoda thunk a topic like this would provoke arguments?

i am catholic and proud of being one. but i will not down grade others because of what there beliefs are. believe what you want, and be faithful to that religion of yous. do not follow what the other person says and what he or she preaches to you as being the almighty belief.
we are all here for the same reasons, and that is skiing and livnig the life. i will not preach to all of you, but do you have to hate someone because of there religion? no, of course not, we are all humans and we live, ski, breath, and be happy.

[train07]

not to get too far off the subject but when a tradgedy occurs, many times you'll hear it said by a survivor that by the grace of god they were spared...this really bothers me.....were others not worthy of the "grace of god"?
Totally unstokable i know, but thought i'd throw it out there.


How bout them Red Sox, eh?
