Don't ask, don't tell, don't persueFollow

I bet it was that damn cat.

A quick summary of what I've gotten out of the last 50 or so posts, with regards to Family Guy of course.

Your mom needs to learn to read, I guess.

I need to stop posting under the influence.

Spent the last 4 days in Vegas so can't say that I thought about God all that much, but here we go...



I studied the stories in the Bible as they were presented to me & when I became an adult in the Church, what we call Confirmation in Catholicism, I decided I didn't want to be associated with it anymore. There wasn't any one thing, but more a combination of things (Buttsecks scandals, Fred Phelps, my Priest retiring and a more...conservative Priest taking over the congregation, finding out how awesome sex is, et. al) that lead me to rethink my own views on religion & God in general. I then studied other religions, for comparisons sake, but didn't really feel called to any one thing. What I did decide is outside of experiencing anything supernatural, nothing was ever going to convince me that the supernatural is real (And as a geek, I actually would LOVE for some supernatural stuff to be real. Ghostbusters, for example, IRL would be ******* awesome).

But just because I believe that, I'm not so elitist to think it means that people who do believe in the supernatural are wrong.



I believe in Jesus. I believe he existed & had some pretty awesome ideas. I believe that he believed he was the son of God (& I believe if God does exist, then we're all his sons & daughters so Jesus wouldn't of even had to of been immaculately conceived to be the son of God) Instead of spreading those awesome ideas like he wanted you too, however, you'd rather have a pissing contest over which flavor of his teachings is the correct one. I don't think that's what Jesus would have wanted & people like yourself are douchebags for your elitist views on the subject.



"Can God make a rock so big that he can't lift it?"

Honestly, the whole concept of God doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but since I know & have experienced some of the benefits that come with being religious I'm not going to knock someone else for believing.



I think there's a reason for things. A few billion years ago something happened to create the universe (The Big Bang) & we're a result of it. We, as a species, have a pretty good grip on how things came to be the way they are since the first few moments after the big bang until now, but can't quite figure out (yet) the first few moments after it nor how the big bang happened in the first place.

Until we can, "God did it" (While a cop out), is every bit as valid as M Theory. As a Catholic, I was even able to reconcile the beliefs I had with that & look at things like the story of creation as allegorical instead of literal. It's too bad other people can;t seem to do that.



Find me a non-christian reputable scholar on ancient Egyptian mythology that doesn't believe that their allegorical stories weren't picked up by Christians & you might be able to dispute my sources. EVERYTHING I've ever read on the subject, by any expert on Ancient Egyptian Mythology's similarities to latter day Christianity, seems to disagree with you that they are lies, however.

I know it's tough for you to swallow, but Science may be on to something since it has yet to show that God is absolutely necessary for anything.


And Christianity is just another flavor of it inspired by ancient Egyptian allegory & the teachings of a guy named Buddha.



I thought that was His plan?

But, Iron and steel aren't the same thing, though. That's like saying the Bronze age was actually the Copper age.

Eh, never mind.

It's the circle of life. It's all a big ferrous wheel.

It is obviously the Aquarius Age.

Everytime I hear this song I still see Steve Carell singing it, and for some other reason I still see Seth Rogen without his shirt on.

DOES THAT MAKE ME GAY!?

I thought we were in the silicon age, or something equally silly.

is it against the rules to auto-rate down anyone who accuses anything of "apostacy"?

We don't use stone as the primary material for tools. It's the tools that are important. Bronze similarly.

A case could be made that the majority of the world's tools are still made of flesh and blood.
