Ok, I can totally agree with what you said Real, you're taking on a way of living your life by a certain set of rules basically, everyone has they're own set of rules or limits, as do you, they're just probably a bit different to mine. Having thought about it, its the fact that we all live by different rules that causes friction, so if there was no "religion" everyone could live by the same set of rules, or the same set of morals. Of course if that was to happen, life would be boring and we'd never have entertaining debates like this one, so I guess in a way I'm happy that religion does exist, so that I can be annoyed that religion does exist ... if you see what I mean [lol].


Anyway, he died .... HA! personally, I doubt he'll go to "heaven", I think he deserves to go to "hell" for wasting what was a perfectly good life until he got hold of it ... Spanner.

Actually, they arent my rules, they are Gods rules.

But the difference is that my life isnt just about the rules, its about the relationship. Thats the most vital part, also the hardest part. Also the part most people figure they can do without and still be ok.

I find when people neglect that part that they dont hold onto those rules very well, if even at all. They tend to tell others "hey, you should follow these rules" but will turn around and do the opposite what they just said.

Why? Because theres no foundation, they arent living the relationship, mearly living the motions.

I'm skipping over the second page and most of the first to reply to this quote
Last time I checked, the Catholic Church (headed by him) opposses all violence/conflicts and has been doing so for many centuries. And, by the way, it seems morally objectable to wish death upon any person, especially if that person has committed their life to a sole religious calling.

Do you not remember something called the Inqusition? One good thing I can remember this pope for is asking for forgiveness for the Inquisition. No other one has done it, all in that said, I think religion is utter BS, just live a good live, treat people good and you'll be alright.

^ Oh man, that whole time period was horrible. And I can't believe they called themselves Christians. Killing people just because they didn't believe in a specific thing is rediculous. Just like those Muslims blowing people up for no good reason. I hate people like that. Killing over your religious/spiritual beliefs is crazy. What god would tell you to do something like that?

I say just respect others beliefs, and we'll all get along. I personally don't give if you're Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or what ever you are, I just accept you... and if you're popular I accept you more! Lol, just kidding.
