Skipped a whole shitload of years there didnt ya.
Not about to rip apart what you just said as parts are taken from current fiction and other parts from two different religions.

Lets just say when Constantine was Co-Emperor along with Licinus and they issued the Edict of Milan which declared Christianity to be a legal religion in 313, however Galerius had issued a similar Edict in 311. Regardless the majority of Rome was already on its way to becoming Christian. Was not until 380 that Emperor Theodosius made it the official religion of Rome.

Also the Muratorian Canon in 200 provided a list of new testament books that very closely match the list found in todays bible. Other lists that are also very close can be found when Origen did his writting in 250 and Eusebius of Caesarea in 300. I can only say it is true the Constantine did order the destroying or burning of some books by the Novatians, the Marcionites, Arius, Porphyry and a few others. However the fact remains that the biblical canon was already in place by the time Constantine became an Emperor. Other writings show that Christians switched from Saturday to Sunday as a day of worship long before him as well. In essence he did not add much of anything nor really change shit.

Damn, had to google a shit load of names as my spell checker went totally ape shit.

Only pics can save this thread.

All I know for sure...is none of us really know anything....believe what you will...

do unto others...

Lack of a penis, outside of a drawer or chest perhaps and never had one removed by a surgeon.

You know -- there is nothing more I really enjoy discussing more than religion. The other day, some Jehovah Witnesses came round, and I bent their ears for a good forty minutes in the front garden. In the end, they were trying to get away from me, but they were so well mannered they wouldn't turn round and say 'SHUT THE FUCK UP -- LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!'

Here is what I asked them;

God created Adam, and in turn created Eve. God told them they could have whatever they wanted, except for an apple. So, they take an apple and God is furious. He throws them out of the garden of Eden. Fast forward a few thousand years, and he want to forgive the sons of Adam for Adam's terrible crime, so he creates himself on earth in the form of Jesus, and then has himself arrested, persecuted, tortured, and executed so he could forgive man for Adam's sin of taking the apple.

Would it not have been easier to forgive Adam in the first place for taking the apple? Instead of going through the whole sado-masochistic process of having one's self tortured and executed -- Why didn't God just forgive Adam for taking the apple, which in the whole scheme of things is a pretty paltry crime considering what humans are capable of doing.

Free will, its a bitch.
Technically if God is all knowing he would already know both outcomes anyways.
Again though you are mixing the old testament God and the new testament God. The old testament God had no issues smoking people left and right, it was pretty damn neurotic, liked to play games, and honestly treated man and the Earth like a 4th grader.

However it technically was not a small crime, it was not just an "apple". It was knowledge, shame, and many other things. Forget the fact that Adam or man was created twice though.

Well, as God knows EVERYTHING, he had to know they were going to eat the apple before it even happened, making the whole stupid story even more rediculous.

You beat me to it!

Why would 'God' need to play such games with humans to begin with? I have always wondered this...

Yeah but like I said, that is ruled out by free will.
I admit there are many contradictions.

Is it not the same God...?

The same God who created Adam is the same God who created himself in the form of Jesus -- unless I am missing something....?

They could be the same. It could of matured, it could be psychotic, it could be made up. Remember I am agnostic. I just happen to have educated myself about such things.

I think I am done being serious for the night. I do not feel well enough to keep my head doing this while under the influence of so much shit.

I believe in the great grandfather in the sky. I believe the children are our future. Long live the king !



God doesn't believe in you. No refunds sorry ...

k... call me crazy but I have heard from Christians (catholics, adventists, pentecostals) that there are actually 3 under one name "G-d" .. the so called trinity ... G-d father, son and holly ghost (not a dove as some make it look/sound) ... all 3 share the same rank and they are separate "beings" ..

I don't take this as a fact tho.. because the whole argument is obviously impossible to prove or disprove..

Cause it's fun. Life on Earth may very well be "just a game".

IM KIDDING IM KIDDING It was just wide open.

Porn is the God

I believe in myself. That is the only person that is not going to let me down. I also believe in science.

I do not. However, if a family member wants me to join them I will, for the sake of being with the family or friends. But never for the holiday.

I've read every page.

Only when I'm waiting for my HIV test results. And even then, I just pray that I don't have it, and not really praying to a person or god figure. Just praying out loud for the sake of praying.

If I had to bet money on something, this would be it. While I'm not 100% sold this is THE answer, I do believe that at this time, it is the best answer we have.

anyone in this industry is not christian, no matter how much they claim to pray, you cant have your cake and eat it too.

if you sling porn you are not christian. it goes against everything your religion stands for and all your beliefs. hypocrisy has always walked hand in hand with faith

I just pray.

I want to believe
 

I find that so much easier to believe than the bibles version.

Also if God does exist he must love sex, he gave us sex to enjoy, not to feel guilty about.

working in porn did not change me, I am still a good Christian catholic person :)

eh..... EVERY christian has made at least one sin... So if you make something against the rules of religion you still can be cgristian. Otherwise there would be 0 christians in the whole world :)
