No going back now you have built your belief on those stories you clung to as though they were oh so real as your parents lovingly told you them as you fell asleep..The stories I heard as a child didn't have anything to do with Jesus. they had to do with how hard life was for both parents coming up, and how lucky I was. I did not start learning about Christianity till I was in my 20s.
Quote:While your parents were filling your tender innocent mind with tales of Jesus saving mankind, across the world, other parents were pushing the virtues of Mohammad into their childrens heads because that is all they knew. It's all down to luck of the draw Drich, it's all down to where/when/who you were born to that dictates what stories you believe.we are not born into religions sport. Minnie and all of his favorite stories about how the church is supposedly dying out because this next generation is wanting to live without god proves that.
Like wise me being born to a Buddhist mother by your logic says I should be Buddhist. Even when she converted to Christianity I did not want anything to do with church as it just mucked up a sunday for me.
Quote:You got Jesus, congratulations. Iqbal, who shares the very same birthday as you but born in the backwaters of Yemen was fed the stories of the Qur'an since before he can remember.Again, doomas what makes you think I did not come to Christ on my own? that I did not 'think?' Is it just because I do not believe as you do? Do you really think you have all the answers of the known and unknown universe? If no how can you honestly think that you ideas of god are correct? Like it or not sport you like me start our beliefs out on faith, then we seek evidence to support it. I have found what I have been looking for, and you found nothing, which I guess is what you were looking for.
Your belief is nothing more than a rag-tag bunch of mythical tales that you have, by chance, been born into. If you want to pretend that some supernatural force has given his message to you personally and then dismiss the claims of billions of followers of another god as false you need to take a long hard look in the mirror.
In a Universe of hundreds of billions of galaxies with billions of stars each, a tiny planet sits there and the inhabitants have invented thousands of gods to explain it all. Yet you still believe because that one story that was handed down to you is the absolute truth.
Fuck it. You deserve your delusion if you don't see the futility of it all. Stick with it Drich, and you GC. Think.
