However christianity is not religion nor is it meant to be controlling, that is it's not meant for man to control man. Christianity is a relationship with GOD and a life of freedom. See NT for futher explanation. Holy SHIT BALLS, G-C is back....and still as dumb as ever!

So on the one hand we have Statler telling us that atheism is a religion even though it doesn't meet the requirements of the seven dimensions of religion, but on the other hand you maintain that christianity isn't even though it clearly does meet them. It is clear to me that you people have no fucking idea whatsoever. ![[Image: mybannerglitter06eee094.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo112%2Fpussinboots_photos%2FBikes%2Fmybannerglitter06eee094.gif) If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

See NT for futher explanation.Don't forget about the other 38,000 Christian denominations, all of which have their own unique relationship with their one true Christian God, oops I'm sorry, I meant to say one true Christian GOD. Try not to let deciding which one of them, if any, accurately depicts magic man control your life. Use logic to rule them all out as garbage.  RE: What Is The True Purpose Of Religion?

See NT for futher explanation. Worshipping god is a form of control, the main purpose of christianity is to serve god and I am a free spirit. I would never serve or worship any diety, even if he showed me how magnificent his power is. I am slave to no man, no religion, no government, no god. I exist to serve only myself and I shall maintain my freedom. Heaven is just a nice way to say prison, when you really think of it. Why do you believe your precious books say the angel lucifer rebelled, because he cannot love, because he cannot sin, he has no free will, he only existed to serve god and nothing more. Oh and don't say not sinning is a good thing, almost everything a human being does can be considered a sin.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

If you'd raised children then you should know... that it's knowing your boundaries that gives you freedom. Humans do good and bad stuff. One of Xtianity's precepts is that people do do bad stuff sometimes. It seems you agree with that. Not doing bad stuff, and therefore making your own lot better, is the aim of Xtianity.

Eh, well im only 19 I don't have kids yet and I will keep it that way until my hearts desires are met. they way I see it everyone is a king because we are incharge of where we get in our life, the only peasants are those who accept the fact they are peasants. Although your right about being a slave to money, It's not a new thing, It's been around since currancy was invented. I refuse to be a peasant, I will climb the ladder, and I refuse to accept any boundries. You don't know me, Im in a laughable way the epitome of stupid, doing what i shouldn't, breaking laws and breaking hearts and never being caught. Ofcourse Im young and dumb, but I have 5 thoughts atleast in my head at all times, I locate my entrance and all possible exits, I watch and observe everyone, I study them, know them, predict them, and I win. Don't believe me, because you don't have to, but I will be a king, in my heart if nothing else.

God is nearly the religous idea of a perfect being, I am in no way perfect, nor strive to be. I was born into the lowest postion in life and I refused to stay there, and Im slowly but surely climbing my way to the top. Not everyone has this motive in life, just us who were cursed to be at the lowest position from the day we were born.
