Anyway I finally clicked the video link last night from home.

Sorry OP but that is up there with the most retarded things I have ever seen.

I just wish people were more tolerant. my hippie-liberal calculus teacher wouldn't let me only learn integrals and skip over differentials :roll:

Think again. What would the world be like if in every profession everyone was like a bible-thumper and was allowed to pick the easy stuff while ignoring everything they didn't like?

We'd have airline pilots that could take off, but not land.
We'd have doctors who never learned anatomy because "the knee bone's connected to the ankle bone" was easier to remember.
We'd have cops who would be happy to give out tickets for jaywalking, but who would refuse to go after real criminals because it was dangerous.
We'd have firemen who would rescue cats from trees, but who would refuse to fight fires because it was inconvenient.

 
I think the real question being posed in this thread is why Gag has such a raging boner for bashing religion. Anyone else agree?

Just as annoying as the zealots?

Why do men climb mountains? Because they're there.

I'm getting lazy and religion is just too easy a target. I wish I could be like you and believe in leprechauns and unicorns and invisible men in the sky. I wish I could be like you and have a tolerance for sexual predators who have the temerity to tell me how to live my life. I wish I could be like you and forget everything science can prove and instead rely on a book of fairy tales.

Oh wait, no, I don't wish any of that stuff. I'd rather have a brain. Why does my Jesus-bashing cause you such grief? If I railed on about the sky being green you wouldn't care. If I claimed that 1+1 = 3 you wouldn't care. Could your anger at my scorning you and your pedophile God be caused the knowledge that I'm right?

FACT: Your church has been practicing pedophilia for 2000 years. You can't dispute that.
FACT: Your church has always sided with the criminals rather than the victims and have allowed them to molest more kids. You can't dispute that.
FACT: Your pathetic excuse for a god did nothing about it. You can't dispute that either.

You can try to spin it any way you want. You can even try to get yourself to believe in that "free will" bullshit despite the fact that the bible clearly states your head pedophile will protect his followers from evil. But no matter what you do it HAS happened, it has CONTINUED to happen and your god DID NOTHING. What's really sad is that you're angry at your kiddy-diddling god and you're mad at his church and you're even mad at yourself for wasting your life believing in them when they're nothing but a band of criminals and you don't have the courage to admit it. So instead you get mad at me for pointing out all the FACTS about your religion.

You can try to stick your head in the sand and pretend the last 2000 years never happened, but it's not going to work. It did. So deal with it.

Shut the fuck UP already. WOW you have some stamina in those fingers.

NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK.

Now I'll proceed to read your useless tirade.

edit: LOL, I see you branded me as a zealot yet again. Can you read?

unlike the mountain climber, you'll never get anywhere.

a mountain climber at least gets closer to his goal with every step. what you're doing is like putting a treadmill at the bottom of a mountain, hopping on, and calling it mountain climbing.

Hey, I'm not taking sides - these guys are perfect examples of why there should have been one more forum category added.

i don't think the op did anything wrong... he posted a video that he wanted to share with people because he felt personally moved by it.

the problem is with people who come in and go page after page bashing the religion or defending the religion rather than saying "thanks for the video" or "this video is retarded". either one of those posts would be perfectly fine in here, but dumbshits like gag will keep repeating the same behavior over and over expecting a different result (which is to have someone religious say, "wow, i've never heard that before! you're so smart! thanks for opening my eyes! God IS fake!")

genetically predisposed? lol. so, an excuse to be gay?

gay is a choice, not genetic.

Keep telling yourself that.

If it makes you feel so much better about it, you can lie all you like. But once again, do not try to claim that gays do not deserve the same rights, because then you're stepping into the realm of bigotry and fascism.

I'm so sorry that gays make you feel uncomfortable (no I'm not, blow it out your ass), but stop lying. To make this statement proves that you have a complete lack of understanding of the science behind sexuality, or the recent discoveries about homosexuality and genes.

Lastly, it does not matter if you think your little story book written by nut-jobs 2000 years ago says that gays are bad, that doesn't make it true. It doesn't even make it a valid opinion to be looked into, because thats just what it is. A story book.

I'm not sure why you have these views, but I'm pretty sure it's not because you're a bad person. You've probably been misled and taught this your whole life like all the rest of them, and for that I pity you.
i said gays are bad? make me uncomfortable? no...

i said there is no gay gene, which there evidently isn't.

pity me, lol. sure, go ahead. i also take cash donations.

At this point I'm convinced the OP is a troll, based on his flamebait comments throughout the thread (no, they're not directly offensive, but it's a fact that they're flamebait).

Yup, along with many others in this thread. They know damn well that they're not going to change anyones mind but they keep going like a bunch of mental patients.

Amen brother. I had the same experience too, except The Mighty Leprechaun is the one who saved me. It changed me in every good way. Christians say that's impossible because only Jesus saves, and scientists are always throwing these stupid things called "facts" and "proof" at me, but I was there and know what happened. As a matter of fact, I have the Lucky Charms he gave me to prove it.

Believe it or not, but I used to drink the koolaid myself until I came across a discusion not unlike this one. It didn't change my mind right away but it caused me to think critically about my religious beliefs.

Or as Michael Shermer said "Smart people are very good at rationalizing things they came to believe for non-smart reasons."

I will admit that sometimes I get a bit colorful when making a point but I usually reply in the context of the message I am replying to. If you want to throw bible quotes at me I will throw some right back at you. Unlike the vast majority of Christians, I have actually read the Bible cover to cover three times. And begging your pardon about the "spin" part but thats a direct quote from the bible. Interpret it as you wish but it seems pretty cut and dry to me. If your willing to have an intelligent discussion then I will respond in kind.

As a matter of fact, I asked this earlier in the thread and received no real answers from any of the Christians, but why are parts of the Bible open to interpretation while others are not? Along the same lines, why are some versus in the Bible taken literally while others (even on the same page) are not? Point in case, the whole Christians against gays thing. One or two versus in the Bible about homosexuals and you have people preaching and protesting in the streets about how bad gays are. Yet, I don't see anyone protesting or condemning people who work on Sunday, I haven't heard of any Catholics (lately) stoning people even though its mentioned numerous times, and I have never heard a preacher tell me that I must stay away from a woman when she is on her period (although sometimes I try) even though the Bible clearly states that you should.

Who chooses which parts are taken literally and which are not and what methods do they use to decide?
 
Besides, the Bible's already been skewed from its original text - it happened the first time it was translated. Something is almost always lost (or added) in the translation.

And in addition to choosing which portions are open to interpretation, who chooses which version is the "correct" one? Where's the official G.O.D. seal of approval?
