Christ Did Offer A 'Religion' Or A 'Faith' But Salvation...
He Never Said 'Go To Church And Listen To One Man Bash On Homo's...'
Thats What We Made It.
Stop Bitching And Start A Revolution.

Ive been through this before so im not gonna debate about religion with a couple of people whos half of them havent reached puberty yet and the other half are so fixed on keeping there current relgion ,because of fear of denying all those beliefs they once strongly had , and of the fear of being hated by there society if they do so. It seems some prefer being cool and gangsta rather than having some time alone and have an unbiased open minded thought about the universe and maybe some research about religion just incase any of that stuff you always hear about being tortured in hell till eternity is true.
On a sidenote , im a muslim. And I gree with everything drunken jesus said.

you made a few good points, as much as people like to think they are openminded most of the time they are just as closeminded as the people that they think are stubborn
look at any development in history 95% of the time the person(s) behind were going against the grain and were openminded, they didn't just believe things are the way they are for no specific reason they thought beyond the normal spectrum of whats accepted as being possible
one person may view someone as a terrorist and another may view them as a revolutionary the only difference is a persons point of view, if the group fails they're viewed as terrorists, if they have success they are viewed as revolutionarys, if anybody thinks against the grain society views them as bad and through media and any other available method they put them down and try to make them seem as horrible as possible, in america muslims are viewed in a bad light with no specific reason besides a few terrorist attacks, anybody that isn't christian will always have more trouble being accepted in this society than anybody that is, anybody that criticizes bush is viewed as a disloyal citizen even though this country is supposedly ran by the people, so it would make no sense not to criticize the leader if hes doing something we don't agree with, exspecially when 70% of the country feels the same way
as much as this country trys to deny and downplay it, the seperation of church & state isn't ever going to happen this country, or in any other country really, its unrealistic, as intelligent as a society is, the majority of the society would never be able to fuction without being told what to think, if they had to think for themselves their brains would explode
thats the main point i was trying to make with this thread, people don't think for themselves enough, they don't even know why they think what they do, they just think the way they do because its acceptable, i've never followed anything, i question everything, as foolish as it may sound if more people in the world thought like me it'd be a much better place, never thinking beyond the status of something the way it is hinders development, it applys to everything music, art, society, technology, science, creativity is hindered whenever people fear change and prefer a conservative outlook on things

there is no such thing as seperation of church and state in the constitution. Our country and its laws are BASED on judeo-christian beliefs.

It states that there is a seperation of church and state within the government, its the fact that it dosn't work out that way. They say it, but don't do it.

no, it does not state that. Try and find it, it doesnt exist. That line, which people take completly out of context, was in a letter Thomas Jefferson had written.

Its not what you would want it to be but,
Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
Thats what was made from his letter.

exactly @ typeo, 8th's a foolish caveman
the whole ideology of conservatives is fucked up
in their minds things are perfect as they are, and nothing can be improved, no matter how you look at it, thats ridiculous, anything no matter how sound the structure can use some improvement if their weren't flaws their wouldn't be the need for amendments
8's just like 90% of the world, a useless sheep, you believe what you do because its what you were told when you were a kid and you've never had a mind of your own, if you were born in the middle east you would be an arab that thinks america is bad, if you were born in england you would have bad teeth, if you were born in san francisco you'd be fucking dudes in the ass

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances "
and where in there is the seperation of church and state? that is basically saying that the government cannot create a religion and force people to be a part of it. ie the church of england.
call me what you will. If i agreed with you idiots, you would say 'wow what a free thinker.' but since i disagree, im a 'foolish caveman.' which is funny, because you only know how i stand a very very little amount of issues. but because im a conservative you group me with others. I dont think you [killah] even understand what a true conservative is.
in their minds things are perfect as they are, and nothing can be improved
^proof that you dont know anything close to what i believe. i in NO WAY think things are perfect, or even a 100 miles near perfect, as they are now.
but continue to make your blanket statements and unmerrited assumtions with your 'im so much smarter than everyone' attitude. and I think the irony of YOU calling people CLOSE MINDED, excapes you. but is hilarious to me.

8th you're just writing random bullshit that doesnt explain anything at all. i think in rap theyre called " fillers"

8th's whole life is a filler, he'll live he'll accomplish nothing, and when he dies another hillbilly will replace him doing the exact same thing
and of course i don't know your personal beliefs, i just know you're a conservative
heres the dictionary definition of conservatism:
conservatism:
Noun
1. The inclination, especially in politics, to maintain the existing or traditional order. 2. A political philosophy or attitude emphasizing respect for traditional institutions, distrust of government activism, and opposition to sudden change in the established order.
and no me calling people closeminded isn't ironic, in this thread you have admitted you're a sheep, you believe the exact same shit your parents do, i am not closeminded at all, what have i done in this thread that appeared closeminded, i've questioned peoples beliefs because they don't have the knowledge i do and they don't care to learn why they believe what they do, i haven't condemned anybody for being religious i just simply asked them why they are, and they can't supply a good answer, i know everybody doesn't think like me, they don't have the intelligence to comprehend the shit that goes through my mind, they don't have the self respect to learn why they believe what they do
i'm not going to continue to argue with you 8th, you've admitted you're a sheep anything i tell you won't have an effect, honestly i wish i could be as ignorant and naive as you, my life would be alot easier

LOL. no seriously, im sure you'll be a very successful producer. There's a huge market for tracks that sound as if they were made by a tone deaf 5 year old. People are also really into embarrassingly off-beat remixes.
drunken jesus wrote:and of course i don't know your personal beliefs, i just know you're a conservative.....
you believe the exact same shit your parents do
again with the assumptions when you admit you have no idea what my beliefs are, or my parents.
its kinda funny how IM the sheep and IM following some type of crowd, when you have the same opinions as most on this board, and others that claim to be 'free thinkers' and 'open minded'

nice attempt at a personal diss, but truthfully you'll never be as successful as i am now, i guarantee i make more money than your parents do, and very little of thats off beats
'
you're a white kid that trys his hardest to sound black over crunk beats, you're a middle aged hillbilly t'hat draws pictures for a living and imitates paul wall with less rhythm in his spare time
you admitted you're a sheep, you don't know anything about anything i mentioned you just believe what you believe cause your parents do, i'm not going to waste my time arguing with you, i would rather talk to a guinea pig, at least they show a small bit of intelligence and freewill
you're nothing but a slack jawed pile of ignorance, its no wonder where you live racism is still thriving and incest relations are common, go make some random ignorant comments about arabs or something gunther
i had no idea what most of the boards opinion on the matter was, it's not like i changed my view once someone else replyed, i've thought this way for probably 8 years now, and you ARE the sheep you admitted this in the thread, you said you believe what you believe and you don't know why and that no one could ever change your mind, that is the definition of a sheep, you live in a slow area of the country so its understandable i'm not going to continue to insult you you can actually use a computer so you were probably at the top of your class in high school in the 80's, congrats bubba you dun figured out dat derr picture box
