You're dodging my original question. In regards to this, nobody's perfect. First of all, you don't even live in the U.S. We're all human and do things all the time that we think are okay but would be considered wrong. That doesn't mean the religion as a whole condones it. you also forget that there are plenty of Christians who do believe revenge and the death penalty are wrong. We have plenty of those in the US too.

This fundie would rather waste his time on something more worthwhile. But, if someone says he belongs to this or that christian sect, that means he follows the tenets established as fundamental by the leader(s) of that sect. So, for example, if someone says he's a Catholic, he can't use condoms as a contraceptive because according to his own beliefs he's commiting a terrible sin. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If what he's practicing is contrary to Biblical teachings, one could easily say he's distorting his own religion. Even if that entire scenario were true, would it be fair to say that Christian sect is applicable to all 2+ billion Christians on the globe, or to the entire religion in general? Especially when the Bible doesn't even say using condoms is a sin?

Nice glasses.

Bastila!!!

Extremist usually. The kind that preaches how bible is literally god

Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, and the Calvinists are a few huge examples. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know of them, I was trying to get him to be less vague when posting his points. It's not about what some people practice in real life, it's about what the leaders and founders of many churches establish as being their official dogma. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Both of those points matter in real life. You can't just look at what some people in a select group decide what is right and wrong then apply it to the rest of the religion and its billions of followers, which is what you seem to be doing. Contrary to popular opinion, the Catholic Church does not represent all Christians as a whole.

Don't forget the Roman Catholic Church used to sell indulgences. It's always possible to twist and distort things over time. Don't just look at how some people practice it, that's not good enough. Look at the source from which they derive their beliefs. Same goes with any religion.

How many religions? Give an example. The Christian religion comes from the Bible, which is the highest authority. The way it's practiced is up to those who intepret it. Most denominations of Christianity do not say that sex or enjoying sex is a sin.

I always thought that christianity thinks sex is a sin, but reproducing isn

As usual, your logic simply astounds me, Hades. Since when was sex a sin? Sex can't be a sin, it's part of human nature. The only time the Bible relates to sex actually being a sin is when it's done out of marriage, or if it's with the same gender.

You know it! Bah! what. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You heard right. Some of my ancestors were Muslim. Shocking, ain't it?

Well, coffee is an Arabic discovery, so it only stands to reason that the US is suspicious and hostile towards it ... " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, I resent that. I'm part Arab (and some Islamic heritage, I might add). Besides, it's not as if we shy away from Arabic Oil.

Ah, okay. I was just curious. I don't drink coffee, mostly because I never liked the taste. Then again, all I've had is sewage-esque American coffee. I'll to have to try it in one of those countries some time.

Just out of curiosity, which countries do make the best coffee?

I'd like to make a startlingly obvious observation about your even more obvious conclusion. No f

Simple; it's because videogames are now a much larger part of culture then they once were. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up in the air.

If life were like GTA (Some of you might have already seen this on Chappelle's show)

You'd have to get a special Mac version to do that. They make them, but you'd most likely have to go to an Apple Store. Only other way it'd work is if you had an intel Mac and installed Windows XP on it, that way you'd be able to run Windows programs.

This isn't TOMBS. This is more like TOMBS's evil twin brother who has escaped from prison to get his revenge upon the world.

Well, I should have said almost 16. I just mentally rounded up since you were only a few months away from being there.

Hey, I only go by what the birthday profile says.

Okay, first you need a screwdriver, a rubber ball, and a can of WD-40...

I thought he was 16. And are you sure this is okay? Is this TOMBS material? Or is this going to be more like one of Gutman's love threads?

Madagascar. Never had much desire to see it in the first place, but it actually turned out pretty funny.
