Jesus Died for YOU

[Verthaine]

There is a big difference between being in a religion,and being religious.
Mal-2 and Lord Omar warn about making discordianism a religion,but never said that we erisians can't be religious.We erisians can be followers of Jesus,buddha,Ralph the head of lettuce(anyone remember Exator from Mork and Mindy?), and anyone else we draw inspiration from is alright with Eris.
Discordianism is the only TRUE Faith,and all religions are discordian by nature.

Oh i'm sorry are you asking me this on a Discordian board?!?!?

So you were raised discordian?!?!?

No, as I said, I was raised Christian.

Or is the question " why Do you still believe in the truth even though people can use the truth to brainwash"?!?!?

No, the question was 'why do you choose Christianity'?

so you are asking me about my believes based on your personal experience?!?!?

Who else's experience would I base anything on?

So because of the fact that other religions have divinely inspired text's means the divinely inspired text I mainly use is wrong?!?!?

No. That rant wasn't directed at you, it was directed at those who tell me to believe in the Bible because it is the Word of God. I was just curious why you chose to be Christian, as I can currently find no reason to do so.

I have also on this board talked about being buddist, how come no one has asked me these questions about being buddist?!?!?

I dunno. I'll try to remember to persecute you for being Buddhist, if you want.

oooopppps. I forgot to address another point you asked about... Have I ever said that Christianity is any truer than Hinduism, Islam, et al.?
I don't recall this but please point it out to me if I have.

I apologize. I meant to just ask you why you picked Christianity. I ended up ranting about the reasons others have given me.

But I'd still like to know, why have you chosen Christianity?

No need for extraneous exclamation points.

[chaosgraves:agentoferis]

No need for extraneous exclamation points.

so what?!?!? there's no need for any of the post you just made... but you did it... oh well.

[chaosgraves:agentoferis]

No, as I said, I was raised Christian.

so why did you bring up the family raising someone as a basis for MY choice of religion?!?!?I mean considering you said it your self that you were raised in it but are no longer one.

No, the question was 'why do you choose Christianity'?

I can never understand why people who are aware of the brainwashing remain Christian.

this was not a question. this is a statement...or is the question " why Do you still believe in the truth even though people can use the truth to brainwash"?!?!?

so you are asking me about my believes based on your personal experience?!?!?

Who else's experience would I base anything on?

Granted. why would you base your believes on someone elses experiences?!?!? I mean that would make no sense... so as you have said this is to ask as to why I'm a christian... why tell me about your experiences, they have nothing to do with my decision.

So because of the fact that other religions have divinely inspired text's means the divinely inspired text I mainly use is wrong

No. That rant wasn't directed at you, it was directed at those who tell me to believe in the Bible because it is the Word of God. I was just curious why you chose to be Christian, as I can currently find no reason to do so

I am unsure as to why you included this in your statment as I have never told you that... and I don't believe that there are any others around here that subscribe to the believes that you are addressing... ( know your audience)and I am a little confused by someone that is on a discordian forum page getting all hung up over reason... but that is your right.

I have also on this board talked about being buddist, how come no one has asked me these questions about being buddist?!?!?

I dunno. I'll try to remember to persecute you for being Buddhist, if you want.

I don't remember asking to be persecuted in the first place... and remember that is your word for it not mine... you appearently will persecute me regardless of my fealings on the matter. and I'm pretty much ok with that I'm pretty used to knee jerk spiritual bashing.

But I'd still like to know, why have you chosen Christianity?

hhhmmmm... you know I really don't feel comfortable talking this one over with you and frankly this is something that I feel is only important between me my creator and my saviour in the blood the lord Jesus Christ...


blessed be.

Very funny
Was that a jake?

while I agree that it was funny no good jake is ever followed by the words was that a jake....

[null-n-void]

Alright, one more time I will say that

I can never understand why people who are aware of the brainwashing remain Christian. I used to be Christian, but soon I realized that the only reason I was Christian was because I had been brainwashed since I was born. God had never 'spoken' to me. I had never felt the Holy Spirit. The argument that the Bible was auto-true didn't make sense: other religions have their own 'divinely inspired' scriptures. The only reason I was Christian was because I was born in a Christian family. If I had been born in a Muslim family, I'd be a Muslim. If I had been born in a Shintoist family, I'd be Shintoist.

was NOT about you. Don't get angry, it's OK. I just felt like talking. Which doesn't seem that strange to me, considering the purpose of this place.

The only thing in my post that was directed to you was the question, which I stated twice.

If you do not wish to answer, that's fine. I was just curious, didn't mean to make you all grumpy.

Now I guess I'll respond to individual parts of what you said. I don't have anything better to do.

so why did you bring up the family raising someone as a basis for MY choice of religion?!?!?I mean considering you said it your self that you were raised in it but are no longer one.

Again, that was just a misunderstanding. I did not mean to imply that you were only Christian because you were born into a Christian family. I was just commenting on why I was originally Christian.

I am unsure as to why you included this in your statment as I have never told you that... and I don't believe that there are any others around here that subscribe to the believes that you are addressing... ( know your audience)and I am a little confused by someone that is on a discordian forum page getting all hung up over reason... but that is your right.

Again, I thought talking to no specific person was acceptable on a forum (how else would new topics be started?).

I don't remember asking to be persecuted in the first place... and remember that is your word for it not mine... you appearently will persecute me regardless of my fealings on the matter. and I'm pretty much ok with that I'm pretty used to knee jerk spiritual bashing.

I intended that remark with sarcasm. I did not, by any means, intend to spiritually bash you.

so what?!?!? there's no need for any of the post you just made... but you did it... oh well.

Sorry. I was just saying that there was no need for the animosity, it was only a misunderstanding. As for the 'no need for my post', I will again question the purpose of this forum. What is it for, in your opinion? I see it is not acceptable for me to record my thoughts here.



[edit]I see you say you thought the conversation was funny. If you weren't really getting grumpy and I just misinterpreted your response, I apologize. I really didn't want to fight with you.[/edit]

hhhmmmm... you know I really don't feel comfortable talking this one over with you and frankly this is something that I feel is only important between me my creator and my saviour in the blood the lord Jesus Christ...

Why didn't you say so in the first palce?

I say, good on ya.

Me, I've personally experienced only the Goddess Voice, but that's me.

A woman was interviewing various religious leaders on the creation/evolution debate in schools went to talk to a buddhist priest. She asked him if he believed that creation or evolution should be taught in schools. to which he replied.

I am watering you because you are going gray.

i haven't experienced ANY voices oh well.

at least they stop bothering you then. I can incite them to kill each other, which is good. Only the canniest of neuroses survive that way, and ultimately they're smart enough to realise that working with you is beneficial to their memetic survival.

You just had to bring Memes into this, didn't you?

memes are fascinating. trollax have you read "the electric meme" by some author? i doesn't actually talk about memes much, it spends the whole book trying to logically decide if they actuallly DO EXIST or not (since all other books just assume they do). kind of interesting read.
