This is general discussion!!! The religion forum is HERE!.  I specifically stay out of there to avoid the kind of bullshit that's been going on tonight.  Are christians persecuted?  Well, maybe we should go to the official christian bashing thread and see.  Iraqis are arming themselves against religious nut jobs- well that's good, because our country was founded on religion too- or was it?


sheesh! go back to the religion forum where you belong!

Cry about it.

Better yet, think of religion threads as another spot for you to spout your usual garbage posts.

God bless you.

God Bless America

This thread is dark-sided!

Shouldn't this be in the religious forum?



As with BOTD, or as it was when it was allowed in GD, you can simply not click.

Learn to spell then ya might get taken serous.

You taken serous? Not no but hell no!

 Simply skip by a religious thread if your so offended.  

PS - Yes...this country was founded by Christ.  Deal with it.

I don't specifically remember anyone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to click in any threads, but it would seem that your "religion" is running your mouth constantly.  This practice does not bode well for you when you hit the fleet young man.

May god have mercy on your sole

I missed his signature on the Declaration of Independence.

He certainly did not pull his weight during that whole "Crossing the Delaware" thing, walking would have been much easier...

The title of the thread clearly states whats in the thread, you don't have to read it.
If it bothers you that much you could try going outside for a change or interacting with real live humans or something other than posting here.

Christ was dead at the time of this country's founding.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

"Help, help, I'm being oppressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system!"

What is it the Leftists always tell Christians who object to something in the downward spiral of society (e.g., porn magazines on the 7-11 rack)?

Just don't look.

And heel all your sins.....

Everyone who's complaining about not clicking on topics might do well to follow their own advice even.

Funny how some threads with religion in the title get to stay in GD while others are locked or moved.

This country as founded by people that actually existed.



HAHA!

If you dont want to see the threads - STFU.

Hey N_T, I'll really piss you off and say a prayer for you tonight!!!

Quoted: Everyone who's complaining about not clicking on topics might do well to follow their own advice even.

Believe it or not I actually enjoy arguing with stupid people on the internet.

This is also NOT a forum for politics!  If you want to talk about politics, go away!  And don't come here and talk about news either!

Oh wait, I forgot this is General Discussion.

Not to hijack, but did anyone else see the latest study on the effects of prayer on sick people?

For those who didn't know they were being prayed for (on??), the prayer had no influence/healing power.

For those who knew, prayer actually caused more problems for the sick.  Working hypothesis is that it caused anxiety in the sick.


So please don't say a prayer for me

Quoted: This is general discussion!!!!

... aren't you like a n00b or something?

Got a link on that one?

here's a couple links about the prayer/sickness studies:

link 1

and

link 2


To be fair, I'm not seriously saying that prayer hurts, only saying that empirical evidence (at this point) shows no positive benefits.

You have 1 vote for the lock here.   I don't see this going anywheres but farther down the sewer system.

"The guilty flee where no man pursue" Proverbs 28.1

You are an example of one is who is bigoted.  Why do I "belong" only in the religion forum?  The sad thing is that even though you someday might be in the service,own guns and post about 82 times a day on a gun website, you are as narrow minded,self important as any other typical liberal college student.

Woah! thread hijack.

As for the prayer not working thing, I know personally sevral people that had aserious ilnesses, were prayed for, went back to the doctor and their were no signs of thier ailment. Doctors had no explination. Not to say this happens often, most people dont get healed when they are prayed for. Why? ask God.  But God is just as capible today as he was 2000 years ago.

God wont move just to satisfy unbelievers.

If those people had prayer, what's with the doctors?  Just in case?

Sorry for the thread hijack.  Ignore me!!!! I'll run back under the underpass where I live...or maybe back to the Gap.....

Don't worry Nappy T, you'll have to get some thicker skin to deal with this in the AD USAF.  They will be shoving it in your face with Chaplain emails, posters, TV ads, etc. every day of your career.  Remember you don't have freedom from religion after all.  It's actually surprising how many people I work with are NOT religious, I'd say the hardcore bible thumpers are dying out.

Except for the fact that Christians were successful in getting 7-11 to remove porn from the store.

Great, another religion thread.
