Topic: Serious Discussion / What happens after death

I got that it was a joke, but since I don’t read his posts anymore, I have no idea what you are agreeing with. I’d rather eat 7 pounds of broken glass than read his shitty posts. I’ll just have to assume this conversation is at a dead end.

Originally posted by tenco1:you would get burned.

I’m not going to argue that you are incorrect, but I will say that you are being really strong arming and threatening. You are also not considering those who don’t agree with your beliefs. I wholeheartedly condemn your intimidating approach to understanding fire. It’s way too judgmental.

That’s pretty much how you come across. The consequences for our actions, as humans, is death, as in eternal death, much like the consequences for jumping into a bonfire is that you will get burned. God went ahead and offered to pay that debt for us, because He was capable of avoiding the “eternal” part of death because He is God and sinless. So, pretty much, we jumped into a bonfire. God went ahead and got burned for us, already, and said that we can avoid being burned if we agree to accept His payment of our mistake, and stop jumping into bonfires. You painting this as some sort of “threat” from God, or religious “strong arming” is a uncharacteristic of my beliefs. Simply stated, you have a shitty understanding of Christianity. You wouldn’t scream at someone not to threaten you with burns as they explained the virtues of not jumping into a fire, so you shouldn’t accuse Christians of threatening you with hell when they explain the virtues of following God.

I did, would you not be classified as suicidal if you were to jump into a bonfire?

What would happen to my physical body, smart-alec.

Thanks vika, but I’m asking Tenco.

Topic: Serious Discussion / What happens after death

Oh my. Let’s try this again. Tenco, you aren’t explaining why my belief is incorrect, but why you think it is socially unacceptable, so you feel I am “wrong” in that sense of the word “wrong”. Semantics, right?

So, let me ask you, Tenco, what would happen to me if I were to light a bonfire, and then jump into it?

Originally posted by tenco1:why are you still here?

So, let me get this straight, you feel that I am over reacting, and thus, should no longer come to these forums? You don’t feel that in itself is an over reaction? I wonder if you include a heaped serving of hypocrisy and hyperbole to every post simply to elicit a reaction, so that you may belittle said reaction, or do you actually feel that you are exempt from the scrutiny that you apply to others.

I’d wonder how much of an over reaction my post actually was, anyway. I simply said that your approach to “your way won’t do” argument with a “your way won’t do argument” is hypocritical and told you to fuck off. Not quite the nuclear apocalypse you’re painting it to be. Nor is it “playing victim” as you earlier claimed. How bout you drop the hyperbole against me, and defend your initial assertion. Explain why you feel that you can tell people that their belief about heaven is wrong because it doesn’t accept other’s beliefs about heaven. Explain why that isn’t hypocritical.

Originally posted by tenco1:Oh boy, religious strong-arming.

I was going to reply to this sarcastically, but instead I’ll just be frank with you. I’m entitled my viewpoints of life after death, and I stated them honestly. You calling out my viewpoint as somehow wrong is in itself “strong arming”. Your being a hypocrite, by explaining that my view that other’s view is unacceptable, is unacceptable. I’m not forcing anyone to believe what I believe, or berating anyone. You are calling my viewpoint out. It’s a double standard in this forum. The viewpoint that other’s viewpoints are unacceptable, is unacceptable, if the original viewpoint is religious. It’s shocking how oblivious the people who subscribe to this line of thinking are to their own hypocrisy.

Topic: Serious Discussion / What happens after death

If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, were baptized for the remission of sins, and then spent the rest of your life endeavoring to spread love, peace, and life to humanity using the Word of God, then you go to Heaven. If you didn’t do that, you’ll be cast aside like chaff to the fire.

Topic: Serious Discussion / How different would USA be seen if...

I don’t think the US chooses its targets based on which country reported the least on its last loss.

I think the reason there is more reported about the US tragedy, is that the US just has more of a presence in reporting. There are more media outlets, better funded, more reporters, more outlets for it, more American ownership of foreign news agencies, and more users of the internet from the US than any other country. This is the “Spanish Flu Symdrome”. Look up why the Spanish Flu was called the Spanish Flu. It started on a US base in the US, but got the name the “Spanish” flu because Spain had better media at the time, and reported about it, so it came to be known as such.

You misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to say that you do stuff because it is mainstream, but I meant that you DO things because you think they AREN’T mainstream, which is, actually, a very mainstream thing to do. Counter-Culture has become the culture. All of the people who think they are unique, are just as unique as everyone else, who also think they are totally completely unique, just like everyone else. You think you are bucking the system, and a rebel, but so is everyone else, so you are mainstream. Which brings us to this lump of shit:

Originally posted by cdledzep13:We are the only country developed country in the world where people go bankrupt because they get sick.

What the fuck dude? If any line is overused, this one is. You name a country, and I’ll tell you something shitty it’s government is doing. Whether you agree with the US’s healthcare system, or not, pointing out ONE problem it has, and singling it out from among nations as somehow worse than all of them, is pretty shitty. You can do that if you can point to a wide and engulfing range of problems, like in North Korea, where people aren’t allowed to do shit without permission from their Dear Leader, but the US is a fairly decent country, by any reasonable account. Hating the US is simply the “in” thing to do, and the line you are using to hate it is a trendy one indeed.

Originally posted by cdledzep13:Also, in America, we are full of ourselves.

Pride is a problem isolated to the US? Or do you just get that impression from watching TV? Or are you speaking of people who are proud of their country? Is it wrong for a resident and citizen of the US to be proud of the past triumphs of the US? Or, should we be ashamed of our mistakes? Should we just hang our heads in shame? I hate this fucking anti-US attitude. It isn’t an anti-US logic, it’s an attitude. I can fight a shitty argument, but I can’t fight a shitty attitude.

Originally posted by cdledzep13:Nothing here means anything. Or at least, how I see it.

This is ambiguous and false. Things here “mean stuff”, to lots of people. People have rich, diverse, and varying ways of life. If all you see is the stereotypical red neck, then yeah, I can see how you would think the life pointless, but it appears to me that you are just watching TV too much, and haven’t gone out into the US culture and gotten to know anyone, except your shitty hipster friend who complains that the US doesn’t pay for people’s healthcare. WHAAAAAAA. Tell him to stop whining and get a job. I’m sick of the US being the only country you can see through stereotypes. Why not whine about the French because they all smell bad and don’t shave their armpits? Why not whine about Brits because they all wear monicles and drink tea. Why not whine about Iran because they all pray on rugs and want to kill the infadels? Why not whine about China because their eyes look funny and they eat rice? Why? Because that would make you look like an ignorant jerk. But, talk about the one country that it is trendy, that it is MAINSTREAM, to complain about, and no problems. Right? RIGHT? Fuck off.

@karma – I saw that you replied to one of my posts. I didn’t read what you said, though. I don’t read what you post. I don’t care what you have to say, about anything. Have a good day.

I wonder why.

Originally posted by cdledzep13:Like you don’t see a story about a cute local kitten on the BBC.

Nearly all news outlets, especially major ones, do fluff pieces. Here is a fluff piece the BBC did on some local kittens: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-20266653

You have fallen victim to the anti-American bandwagon. The bandwagon that says that America is just full of itself, and doesn’t have anything nearly as good as foreign stuff. America has reached saturation for the rest of the world, and it has become the vogue thing to do, the trendy thing, to rail against American stuff and flaunt the fact that you use something other than American. Whether that is news, or politics, or education, or music, or games, or whateverthefuck… I can’t wait until the bandwagon goes from vogue to cliche. Then, when everyone realizes that the rest of the world has its faults, just like America does, and that it is nothing new, and they begin to give credit to the US when it is due, then people like you will fall off the bandwagon. People like you who do stuff because you see other people doing it. People like you who follow culture and trends, who recite the same bullshit they read somewhere, or heard someone else saying. When people like you fall off of one bandwagon, and quickly jump onto another, I’ll be the same place, down here, pointing out the inane bullshit you guys preach, too busy having your heads up your asses to realize that you’re absolutely wrong. To busy nodding in agreement and patting each other on the back to realize the trend you follow exists just because it is a trend, and not because it has merit. You are person #5,748,433 in a large mass of people who are unable to think for yourself, so you all think for each other, in one massive, idiotic, lump of annoying shit.

Wake up from that. See that product A that you slander and try to replace with product B, is, in essence, the same exact thing, often sold to you by the exact same person.

Topic: Serious Discussion / The Nature of Time - {Metaphysics and Physics} As Matter is to Space :: as Entropy is to Time

I’ve often wondered if time progresses in a void of space. If there is nothing there, what is there to progress? And if time does not progress, how does anything come to occupy a void of space that is not moving in time? And if a void of space cannot come to be occupied, how does one account for the void within atoms? Mind Boggling.

Topic: Serious Discussion / What if Jesus was just a philosopher?

I don’t have any desire to argue what the objective truth is. Everyone has their opinions as to what the truth is. I’m a preacher, but I’m not going to preach here, mostly because it would be negatively received. All I wanted to say was that the truth is independent of opinion.

Originally posted by Dante_Dreiman:Only problem is that it can’t be objectively determined because of the nature of the question.

We agree on that much. The point isn’t which is right or wrong, but that one is right and one is wrong, and that a modern opinion on which is right and which is wrong doesn’t influence whether the statement then was accurate or not.

Originally posted by JohnnyBeGood:This becomes especially apparent since the context already establishes/claims in the first that he is objectively a liar.

I don’t remember him doing this. In fact, he just said that that can’t be objectively determined, right above your post.

What the OP is saying is valid. Compare how the US reacted to terrorism to how Norweigians reacted.

There are some major differences between Sept 11 and Oslo, so much so that the difference in reaction between the two is completely valid. How about looking at the reaction between Brevik and Major Hasan. Those are closer to being comparable, and the reaction was comparable. Neither public reaction could be considered more outstanding.

Like I said, believe in what he said, or what anyone says, doesn’t affect whether the original statement is a lie or not.

Its not that shitty. You either did not take a good look at the English used here or did not understand it.
If you take a good look, there are to factual statements. 1. Jesus was liar and 2. except of course to those who believe in him being the son of god.
In this case 1. is prolaimed always true in an absolute sense. As in Jesus naturally lied even to the believers, because he was not the son of god and so. 2. Is true in the relative sense that some people don´t believe that Jesus is/was a liar, to them Jesus is/was not liar(even if objectively according to 1 he is/was).

To those who believe it, they don’t believe it to be a lie. To those who don’t believe it, they believe it to be a lie. Whether it actually is a lie or not, is not dependent on beliefs, but is objectively determined.

Topic: Serious Discussion / What if Jesus was just a philosopher?

I tell you what. It doesn’t matter what you believe. That’s not what makes a lie a lie. If I told you I was a man, I would be telling the truth. However, if I was actually a woman, I would be lying to you. It wouldn’t matter if you believed the lie, or not. So, if Jesus was the son of God, then He wasn’t lying when He said he was. If He was not the son of God, then He was lying when He said He was. It wasn’t just a lie for those that don’t believe it.

I can’t tell if you don’t understand the concept of lying, or if you are just trolling.

This is so illogical.

Let me sort it out for you. If He was the son of God, then he wasn’t a liar. If He wasn’t the son of God, then He was a liar. It doesn’t matter what people think about what He said. He either was, or He was not, the son of God.

Learn to logic.
