mrnuts 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 decided not to comment in the thread on christianity as it is a topic that will be debated till the end of time without any resolution but for those who are christian you have to look at it from smash's point of view: if you were 6"2 and weighed 300lbs and your daily routine consisted of waking up and having cheetos for breakfast and then multi-tabling in between writing cheesy romance novels day after day i too would not believe in a god. I mean when the highlight of your day is when your 4oolb wife greases her way through the front door with a fresh bag of cheeto's, i too would not believe in god. In conclusion smash has very good reasons for his beliefs, and hey if he's right at least we won't have to listen to his ego boosting.......50-1k threads in heaven. ps. i think smash was at one time a catholic and after looking at what he has become he decided to go the cowardly route and believe in nothing.

Smasharoo 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 ps. i think smash was at one time a catholic and after looking at what he has become he decided to go the cowardly route and believe in nothing.The cowardly route is to belive in something that explains all of the scary unanswered questions...You knew that allready, though.I don't mind you making up random things about me at all, but in the future leave my wife out of it please. I'm asking nicely, if you persist, I'll be less nice.My wife, by the way, weighs about 100 pounds. Link to post Share on other sites

mrnuts 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 I for one think it takes more bravery to believe in something that nobody can truly prove rather than too take the easy route and believe in nothing because you don't have the proof handed to you. Link to post Share on other sites

TheMathProf 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 mrnuts,Let me suggest that others have alternative reasons for choosing to believe or not believe in a religion that has nothing to do with their weight or lifestyle choices.I am personally not religious. I was at one time. My parents raised me to be a good Catholic boy, and that worked out fine through my adolescence. I think religion can be a very valuable thing to young folks. Some of the Biblical stories are actually quite good at providing moral lessons that I personally wish more young people heard and heeded today.That being said, I no longer follow Catholicism. Got married to a beautiful girl, took on a full-time job as a math teacher at one of the local area high schools, trying to figure out this poker thing a little bit. It's a puzzle to me, and one that I enjoy, partially because the statistically right thing to do is not necessarily the action that would cause one to win the pot consistently. But I digress.I never completley wrapped my head around the idea of God allowing pain. An all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving God allowing pain to exist seems to be inconsistent to me. (I also know the "official" party line on this, so please spare me the details.)That being said, I do have this sense that things happen for a reason. Those reasons may never become clear to us, and I can't say that I have it figured out completely (but then, who does?). For all we know, there could be superior beings out there with the capability of creating planets and life on those planets. Such creatures would certainly be very god-like in our eyes, but perfect?Or maybe it's just luck. Or maybe the Christians are right. Who knows?Our life experiences shape our perspective, and ultimately, our belief system for how things work and how people on the whole operate.May I suggest, however, that conducting one's self with a modicum of respect to the other forum members might be more appropriate towards not only maintaining a measure of civility on the board, but also towards achieving any aims you have in starting this conversation in the first place.

mrnuts 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 So because i believe in god all my questions are already answered, thats ridiculous, i have many question all of which will go unanswered my entire life regarding god but to rip on people for believing in something regardless of it has to with religion is just unethical. To have blind faith is more brave than to not seek answers and just be fine with believing in nothing. I do not run my life according to how god lived his but i think "his story" which you don't believe is a great lesson on how life should be lived. Link to post Share on other sites

Wandering around a virgin your whole life with an ex-hooker as your closest freind and dying at 35 doesn't really strike me as the object lession in how to live, but to each his own, I guess.

mrnuts 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 MATHPROF........i completely agree with your statements and have had the same struggles with being a catholic myself. But for him to call people who believe in god idiots and simple minded crosses the line. While i agree that it doesn't help that i react to him and address him in the same manner with which he has directed those who believe in god, i believe that he and wrto had no place in the topic of christianity if they dont believe. I mean if you believe in nothing why even read the thread labeled ''CHRISTIANITY", just so you can tell them how stupid they are for there beliefs. If you believe in nothing thats fine but don't inject your unwanted opinions in an area that was meant for positive thinking Link to post Share on other sites

But blind faith gives you a crutch. It lets you believe that a higher power is taking care of your concerns. You don't need to know the answers because you have faith that a benevolent higher power knows all the answers.I'm not seeing how "blind faith is more brave." Link to post Share on other sites
