Helm That semicolon is pretty much right. Fuzzbot knows what he's doing. That doesn't change the fact that I can't reply to his post in any significant way, though. Sorry.

Anonymous I find that most Americans don't actually understand when to correctly use a semicolon, but they think it makes them smarter and that no-one else knows how to do it either.

Excuse me you lost me at the semicolon there.

Big Papa Goat He was jewish. He believed the universe had orderly mathmatical laws governing it that could be predicted, or something, and thats why he said that "God doesn't play dice with the universe". Also, he was wrong when he said that, at least in the conversation he was having.

Not 100% sure, but my guess is that he wasn't.

This would be the most clever turn any religion had taken until now, let's give them a prize, I am not being sarcastic, clamorous applauses please.

Christianity is more interesting when it's challenging. Fucking cheap-ass american christians have made this religion into the easiest one there is. "Fuck up all you want, just accept me as your personal saviour, say you're sorry and youre AOK".
But wait a minute, now I don't get this, do they ask you to give up your will at the same time; 'cause then it is not clever any more.

How about a little self-flaggelation? Nope. Hurts. How about giving everything you have to the poor and going through life with only the clothes on your back? Nope, too difficult. How about loving and accepting everybody, heathens and believers alike?

Its not so much a condemenation of the rich as it is the materialistic.
And you can tell why? Who's to say when the bible should be taken literally and when it should be taken as allegory? I say, this passage directly dictates people to not gather riches, and anyone who does will go to HELL.

Does that mean, conversely, that an evil person is to be commended for doing nothing?

Well, duh. Do whatI tell you and I'll hook you up.

Matthew 18:3 - And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
This one is even more obvious. Have sex with priests (I'm going to hell)

Quote:
The Apostles Mark and Luke either didn't hear Jesus talk about requirements for entering Heaven, or thought it unimportant.
Mark was the shortest Gospel because he was trying to get a message of hope to the Chritians being fed to lions. Telling them who wasn't going to heaven probably wouldn't have been a big help to them.

John 6:51 - I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

And those are all the relevant matches for the word "heaven" in the Gospels. So, you have to be a Godly, childish, and poor cannibal to get into Heaven. IT'S IN THE BIBLE!

I know the Southern Baptists and the snake handlers will tell you differently, but any real reading of the Bible backs up my statement.

The New Testament clearly states numerous times that the ONLY way to get into heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior. Anyone who believes otherwise regarding the Word is wrong, wrong, wrong.
I believe the exact wording is "The only way to know the Father is through me."(a shame I don't have it right next to me, I know)

There is a little room for interpretation there.

As in, live as He did.

kahljorn greatest good is prolly the wrong word, but thats the best i can do seeing as how i just woke up.
Nov 30th, 2004 05:37 PM
kahljorn Taoists say that doing nothing is the greatest good... non involvement. Which is really pretty simple, because you never know what effect it will have on the "World" or just various people. Lets say you save someone's life, and they end up being the next hitler(yay for cliche). It may have been good but it had evil consequences. The only problem with that is you detach yourself from situations you normally would've been a part of, which is an involvement in a way...
