I believe in God and id be sad if I found out you dont.

Sorry to hear that I hurt your feelings then.

I believe in God and id be sad if I found out you dont.

Hmm... not to go off-topic, but I do have to say I feel somewhat sorry for you, Enki; there are a lot of athiests out there and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. Isn't it a little too judgemental to say you're sad for them?

[Lotho offline]

Wow someone agreeing with me? Thats a first, anyways it is a bit off topic.

Hundredth post!

[Enki offline]

Thats what everyone says about me that im judgemental. But with all due respect, if you cant have faith, I feel sorry for you.

[Star Way]

So *basically* what you're saying is that unless someone has the same beliefs as you, you don't like them? That's pretty sad. No offense.

[vertig73 offline]

I believe in God but some people dont its because they choose not to.

[Enki offline]

I admit that I dont like Celahir Ciryatan the same way anymore since he said hes an atheist. So I am a little judgmental. Like his nonbelieving ways, I dont think that thing about me might change. I just feel that you should believe in God cause you know he loves you.

I go to church (and am going to minister at the mass my school has on Friday), but I don't think you should pity those who don't believe. I don't understand why everyone makes such a big hullabaloo about religion.

[Ransomed_Heart offline]

I've said before that I'm Christian, but I really don't pity those who don't believe what I believe. I try to live and let live, and I have good friends from just about every major religion. I can't see any point in alienating people simply because they don't have the same faith as me, if I did that I would be a social recluse.

Mom and I had a talk about this and weve agreed that ill try to be more flexible in this matter. I dont wanna alienate anyone so if youll accept my appology, ill be satisfied.

Before I read this I had not read the "Do you go to church?" thread. And I just now saw it when I was looking up who was what religions.

I can have faith and I do, not in an almighty being but in scientific deduction. I see religion as an aide in which we as humans may grasp our potential that is hidden by our concious mind and a way for one to seek comfort when they are the only one left.

People care about religion because essentially people are brought up seeing that God is is part of them, realistically it is, but saying the result of such might be offending.

I have a Christain father and a Budhist mother, this helped me find an open-mind for it.I make a big deal about religion because since a early age I have been seeking ideological justice. A state in which would render every human equal. For spending so much time philosophizing on a ideological world I have come to support my reasoning very strongly.

I admit that I dont like Celahir Ciryatan the same way anymore since he said hes an atheist. So I am a little judgmental. Like his nonbelieving ways, I dont think that thing about me might change. I just feel that you should believe in God cause you know he loves you.

As an atheist I feel that it is easier to interperete other religions because I don't have standards in which to bias my opinion on. I feel that one should believe in him/her self for strength and have faith that your friends and family love you.

And I never specifically said I was an atheist, don't forget the pagens/neo-pagens! (wiccans are neo-pagans).

Mom and I had a talk about this and weve agreed that ill try to be more flexible in this matter. I dont wanna alienate anyone so if youll accept my appology, ill be satisfied.

In short I accept your apology. I would also like to say that I am happy how you handled the situation and sought knowledge from a loving family member. Although your respect for me may dwindle my respect for you will not change.

[Enki offline]

Im glad you accepted my apology and I wanna say I will not lose respect for you no matter what your beliefs are. And to get this post back on topic, me and my parents are gonna buy some water for the Katrina victims and recycling some CocaCola cans for them.

My school handed out lists todays of things to donate. We have a trucking company working with us that will take the supplies we gather down to Louisiana.

I've been going through a lot of webcomic sites lately, and it seems that they're all doing something to help those who lost homes and/or families in our recent disaster.

While we all b**** about gas skyrocketing, and such, we havent really taken the time to consider what they lost. Sure we know what they lost, but we dont even have room to complain about anything. 1000's dead...homes wrecked...people starving. This is whats happening as we live out our daily lives.

We take so much for granted that we dont even know. Even a cup of water someone would kill for down there. And it just kinda ticks me off how I hear so many people with their issues, when they dont even have 1/100 of problem like this to deal with (Im guilty of this as well).

I think we should all take our time to pay our respects to those who were lost in this tradegy. We may not be able to pay cash, or...we actually may be able too. But the very least we can do is hope that people can be reunited with their familes again, and that those who are still alive can find a home.

As I keep thinking about it, I cant help but feel bad that Im able to sit here and just post away while I sit at my computer. Just remember guys, no matter what you have, be thankful for it. Some people dont have even a shirt to put on their back right now. Even if I had crappy aol again, I'd even thank god for that.

Its times like this that really bring the nation together. And as history shows us, its happened before. Think of 9/11, thats just one example of when our nation started to pitch in. Its kinda wierd how many lives have to be lost, just for our nation to be little more together.

i donated some stuff with my school today. I donated feminine products (girls imagine menstration w/o pads. awful. i've had to deal with this before.), toliet paper (self-explanitory), tuna, corn, and water bottles. i also plan to donate money. i have to make signs for student council.

We do a penny war at my school (coins & dollars add to your score, so put them in your jar; pennies subtract; put them in the other classes' jars)...plus, my class (and the rest of the school) has to bring in canned foods for our mass Friday.

[Little Vili offline]

you dont have to quote the whole thing you know (that would be better if you didnt) just highlight and copy what you want to quote. When you press the "quote" button on the reply page just add ="what ever username it is". Incase you didnt know.

[OB-waN offline]

Let me help you kids out.

Enki, if you really beleave in GOD them you know that you HAVE TO love everybody even if they don't think like you or pray like you.

When I said that you should thank the Lord everyday I meant that you could have died this moring or after school you could get hit with a car and go to the ER. Everyday, is a new day to live. Now, I know that thier are people at this forum who don't beleave in GOD. And that's cool with me, I'm not here to judge you, that's between you and GOD, who ever you make him out to be. I think of him as Jesus, some he something esle.

Now, my job is not to get you pray like me or do everything I do, cause even I fall from grace from time to time. My job is to tell you about my GOD and then you make your mind AFTER I tell you about him, OK

So thier is no pushing to make you worship like me, after all that's what makes the world a crazy cool place to be in.

So, I cool with everybody here OK???? Sorry if I made anyone mad over this

We did those in junior high, except we reverse it, so you wanted pennies and silver coins oe dollar bills subtracted money. It was fun, certain classrooms would go to war over it.

Hehe...my friend lied to a little kid who asked her which grade she was in. He put the stuff in that grade's jar...we had to run down the hallway so the kids wouldn't hear us laugh...^^

Same here, it was class against class, mine won by over 20$ worth. That means we put at least 20,000 pennies in, plus the amount other people put in.

I have about $300 saved up. From about 3 years of saving it up. I plan on sending it all to the Salvation Army.
