Judge Hades

It is not a name. Allah is Arabic for the word "God." Sheesh, you are thick.

Um... Man, you are freaking ignorant. Allah is Arabic for God. Studied Islam? Sure you have.

There is a catch which you are not sharing, Mothman, and that you have to worship Jesus which I will not do. No one and no god is worth my worship, plain and simple. Also the god of Christianity is the same god of Judaism, therefore the God of Islam is the same God as Judaism. SAME BLOODY GOD! God is God, no more and no less.

The Bible itself is full of contradictions so if a divinely inspired works, scripture from the mouth of God itself, can't get it right there is something screwey with God in the first place.

Yeah, and we have to make our own choices, not God. God is responsible for its actions and inactions, but all examples you've given are not God's. It loves us, helps us, and gives us guidance, but it doesn't control us. We have to be responsible for our own actions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Torturing someone for all eternity is evil, yet that is one of God's actions for those who do not worship him.

Yet, God is responsible for Its own actions and inactions.

I won't buy games off the internet. I probably will be getting HL2 for the X-Box, though.

God also has to be responsible for Its own actions and by allowing such misinterpretations and death in Its name shows that It is a s**thead. A loving and caring God wouldn't do such things.

Yes, he had given people free will, but also manipulated that will as well. If he was truly a loving and just God he wouldn't have let such strife within his own believers.

Fine I can give you others why I despise God, beyond just its Christian roots. God formed three religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Each of these religions are strongly influenced on one another and all worship the same God, yet through his divine intervention God has set these three religions against each other, sowing pain, death, and despair. It purposely made it so that there can never be peace until one religion is dominant over another, almost like some sort of social experiment.

In the Christian mindset Heaven and hell are not simple symbolic terms but places that exists on a spiritual plane. They also believe every human being has a soul, their spiritual nature, which will be rewarded in heaven or damned in eternal punishment in hell.

I certainly wouldn't call it a fighting game ala Tekken though. Although I'm not sure really what constitutes a "straight" CRPG either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fallout, BG, Old School Ultima, and the such.

I have dealt with Christianity, studied the religion, the history, and my share of believers. It does not urge the best of humanity. Any God who would be willing to torture an individual for all of eternity is not a good God, yet if you do not except Jesus in your heart, as the tenet goes, that is exactly what your fate will be when you die. No crime in the heavens or the earth is severe enough to warrant eternal damnation, yet it is the Christian belief that those who do not follow Jesus and God will receive such fate from their creator. What Christianity urges is tyranny through fear.

Urges the best in humanity? What a load of s**t.

Yet, I wouldn't call it a straight CRPG either, J.E., but then what is nowadays?

What did she ever do to you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She, he, or it has done many things to earn my ire.

I don't particular care what the framers intended. I prefer to live in the now. What happened 200 years ago has little to do with the problems we face now. The framers had no idea what our technological level would be at, the discoveries of science would make, and how these things would impact everyday life. We need a wall of separation and a secular government in order to have fairness for all governed.

I simply loathe God.

Besides isn't having those two words in the pledge discriminatory against those who don't beleive in a god?

Who would want to copy Volourn? I mean I can understand why people would want to emulate my magnificient self, but Volourn?

Yes, but should he be giving more resources to foreign governments when his own people are suffering? I don't think so. The president's primary concern, and the government in general, should be the welfare of his people. The truth on how much he cares is obvious on the slow response time and diverted funds to New Orleans, Biloxi, and other hit areas in comparison to Iraq.

So does our president.

I agree we live in a religious nation, but that does not mean we have to have a religious government. In order that all people within the nation to be treated fairly, religion needs to stay out and the government impartial and secular.

It may not be unconstitutional, Eldar, but it makes the pledge unfit for state functions such as public schools and places of public office. It doesn't matter what god it infers, separation of church and state needs to be maintained. I for one do not want to live in a religious state.
