Bible-eirs need not apply. ^^*
Prompted by my Philosophy paper...
Ishiida [1:35 PM]: pretentious Christians are talking about how abortion is ungodly.
Ishiida [1:35 PM]: ~_~
mortalcity29 [1:36 PM]: *sigh*
mortalcity29 [1:36 PM]: not good.
Ishiida [1:38 PM]: I am irritated by their persistance that things have a ~soul~ at conception
Ishiida [1:38 PM]: and all that
Ishiida [1:38 PM]: it's like, "uh.. you eat eggs, don't you? ~_~"
mortalcity29 [1:38 PM]: there is no soul...
Ishiida [1:47 PM]: I don't think so either
mortalcity29 [1:47 PM]: it's because we cling to the notion that we are individual and we have individual souls that we can't achieve enlightenment
mortalcity29 [1:48 PM]: unfortunately while I can believe it in my head, the rest of me can't
mortalcity29 [1:48 PM]: stupid christian indoctrination
Ishiida [1:48 PM]: I don't understand christianity.. I really don't. ^^;;
Ishiida [1:48 PM]: And I know I should take a theology class or something and learn about it
mortalcity29 [1:49 PM]: it's interesting.
Ishiida [1:49 PM]: but there are so many bible thumpers in my campus, I'm pretty sure I'd throw one of them out a window before the class was over
mortalcity29 [1:49 PM]: hahahahaah
mortalcity29 [1:49 PM]: I live with one -.-
Ishiida [1:49 PM]: it came out in my Human Relations class when we discussed homosexuality, it's coming out now with Abortion
mortalcity29 [1:49 PM]: -.-
Ishiida [1:49 PM]: and it's like "GRRRRR IT'S JUST A BOOK. THAT CONTRADICTS ITSELF."
mortalcity29 [1:50 PM]: indeed. greatest story ever told...but it is a story
Ishiida [1:50 PM]: "thou shalt not kill. Unless God tells you to. Then it's okay."
mortalcity29 [1:50 PM]: hehehehe...
Ishiida [1:51 PM]: man, I'll never forget the fight I started with a friend the day I said "the bible is fiction" in front of her. o_o
mortalcity29 [1:51 PM]: O_o
Ishiida [1:51 PM]: They get REALLY offended if you imply that it might not be true. o___o
mortalcity29 [1:52 PM]: I say there's no way you can prove something 2000 years old is all true.
mortalcity29 [1:52 PM]: there may be BITS of it that are certainly true, but..
mortalcity29 [1:53 PM]: julie and I had a rather interesting conversation about that sort of thing
Ishiida [1:53 PM]: yeah, a few stories, sure. I'm sure there was a guy named Jesus, and that he was a nice enough guy that got crucified
Ishiida [1:53 PM]: And maybe he was helpful and made a beer run. ^^;
mortalcity29 [1:53 PM]: faith vs. proof and all of that. see, I can believe there was a dude named Jesus, and he said some stuff people thought was nifty, and died for being a suspected terrorist
mortalcity29 [1:54 PM]: but the faith bit begins at the son of God and the miracles.
mortalcity29 [1:54 PM]: and having faith in something means you have no proof of it.
Ishiida [1:54 PM]: I'm pretty sure most of those miracles could probably be explained, too
mortalcity29 [1:54 PM]: therefore, if the Bible was all true, their faith would be for nothing.
Ishiida [1:54 PM]: ::nodnodnoddle::
mortalcity29 [1:55 PM]: julie said she has faith in the bible. which means she knows it might not be true.
mortalcity29 [1:55 PM]: ALL true
mortalcity29 [1:55 PM]: and therefore faith
Ishiida [1:35 PM]: pretentious Christians are talking about how abortion is ungodly.
