I saw The Passion of Christ today.

[coolbeans326]

[shocked]Not only was that "joke" unoriginal, it was also deeply disturbing.

[Coasterkidmwm]

It accomplished its goal then.

I'm still saying to myself "omg, this is still going on!"

I'm not really helping to stop it either, continue...

I think this post should get an award....Most BS in the forum We've got everything from Coasterkidmwm giving his priest a BJ to the hardcore religous fanatics that believe god makes things stick to the earth even though its been proven through science....but you know...science can't exist..people just pop out of the earth like daisies.....


I'm out of popcorn, do you need any TC? XD

So because science proves what gravity is, that means that people who believe in God believe that we just "stick" to it? LOL! So narrow are you...

Science is mans attempt to try and uncover and explain everything God has created. In some places we succeed, in many more, we dont. And still in some, we never will. Some parts of science are needed, some are not. Some serve useful purposes in each of our lives every day, some again, serve absolutly no purpose and do nothing for each of us and our purpose in life.


Science isnt a bad thing until you believe it instead of God.

So all these people who are doing research for cures and the success they have had finding cures for some are just loons that their results should not be believed in? I mean, since you are basically stating that one should believe in God's work rather than on Science's advancements, we should not believe the weelnes it can bring us and leave it to God to fix us up? I unlike you, have had medicine and the science of the docs to save my life already and grateful what these scientists have done and continue to believe in them and their work over something supernatural.

also, look at the lifespan in the middle ages, when every believed, and now, when (luckaly) everyone knows god and jesus are a looneys

oops did I start another arguement? silly me[sillyme]

In the words of Peter Griffen, "Christians don't believe in Gravity!"

What are you saying, by believing in God, you die early? Well, my friend you are stupid. They died earlier because thier enviornment isn't as clean as it is now. (not polution wise, but germ-wise) And most people were lucky just to even be born, as the birth rate mortality was pretty high do to them being not as sophistimacted as today. So living longer and Jesus have nothing to do with it. And I don't see the problem between "having a relationship with a greater being" as christianity is suppose to be, and science, as science basically just says how did God create our world? Ideas such as evolution are just as crazy as ideas like God snapping his fingers and it was there. You need faith to decide both as there is 0 proof that any of those are right. So once again, I say, it all comes down to what you believe.

Monty -- I think I have graduated from popcorn to the heavy stuff now.

Come on now, you are older than that. There was more to what I said than that one sentence.

Im not even going to bother quoting myself because if you go back and re-read, I said that parts of science are needed and other, not so needed.


I have had some medical treatments, however, my only true brush with the medical field resulted n myself being completely healed of my ailment without drugs or medication. They gave me 3 months at the fastest to heal and I came in 2 weeks later and the CT scans showed absolutly no signs that what I had, (A large blood mass) ever even existed.




You of all people here should know its not right to just pick one sentence without reading all those around it. I clearly stated that science has both its nessicary areas and unnessicary areas.

[Coasterkidmwm]

That was totally uncalled for. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Oh yeah Buddism is a lie.

I think this should go in the record books as the worlds longest topic. Good job fighting for 20 pages and counting.[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

One time a priest took me in a confessional and made me close my eyes and suck the holy water out of a hose that smelt funny. Not much holy water came out and took a while, but the priest was happy. Anyone else ever have to do this? [?][?][?]

lol *quote from Chappelle's Show* "Negrodamus, what mistakes did Michael Jackson make?" "Michael Jackson should've not been a singer. He should've been a priest. Then, he would've just been transfered."

Well, why not keep this thread going?

I am a Christian, I saw the film.

I thought it was borderline "pornographic snuff film". There was very VERY little content in it that was even remotely inspiring, let alone something that would "spread the word".

Mel seems to have a blood-and-gore fetish, and it shows in this movie.

But what really, REALLY bothered me about the whole thing was the resurrection scene. Hello, Mel? The POINT of all the suffering and the crucifixion was the resurrection. LOTS of people were crucified back then. In fact, two others in addition to Jesus were crucified THAT DAY. The suffering and death was NOT the point. The fact that Jesus OVERCAME it in the resurrection is the point.

Mel spends two hours showing suffering, blood, torture, inhumanity, PLUS a few nasty bits that are not even in the scripture (the maggot-infested camel and the crow picking the guy's eye out come to mind) just to see how far he can push the envelope of gore and still get an "R" rating. I sat thru all of it knowing that if he spent THIS much time and detail on the blood, then SURELY the resurrection will be the most awe-inspiring ending of all time.

And it was like it was just tacked onto the end as an afterthought. A deflating ballon of grave clothes, a REALLY bad temple set breaks in half, and Jesus walks out with a hole in his hand. Whee. I was PISSED.

Get off the blood fetish, Mel. Appreciate the ending of the story as much as you love the gore.

Just because Buddists believe something different than you doesn't make their ideas any less valid. The thing I find about a lot people like you is that you aren't open to the world. You are very closed minded.

Somehow I managed to just finish my 30 page essay in three nights....I think I will pray to save my brain....it hurts *twitch*

While I agree, I found the ending to be wonderful. I dont think you need a very grand ending. The way it ended, (sorry to spoil what can already be learned, lol) with just showing him get up and the nail holes still in his hands I felt was profound. It was one of those elegant and simple moments that while only moments long, most people should have seen it and gotten the point.

Remember, he did tear down the temple and rebuild it in 3 days. However, he went through a lifetime of hardship that ended in those last days of complete torture.


Im not sure how you would have ended it or shown the resurrection but I dont think that needed to be overdone really. The simplicity of the ending is what caught me.

He showed the only thing you needed to see - Him standing up and the holes still in his hands.

And one day we shall see Him ... JUST AS HE IS!

sorry that you have to hear it from me, but, ehhh, he's dead...almost 200 years, actually

^lol. I would think after reading my post you would see that he conquered death.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Reading posts is a silly waste of time, everyone knows that.[sillyme]
