      Why would you do that? That isn't funny, it's just wasting paper and annoying people with content that may upset them.
      I honestly don't know why people feel the desire to be negative towards people of different beliefs/cultures. Life is far too short to be miserable to others.

          Actually - during the one time that England was run by evangelical Protestants - they actually banned Christmas, believing it to be a thinly veiled pagan festival. Eating mince pies, christmas trees and even church attendance on christmas day was banned.

          Even in some American states dominated by Puritans - such as New England - children were required to attend school on Christmas day for more than two hundred years after, until 1870.

          @thevofa: but that's the point. I can see how having someone else accept the terms and conditions and pay the price of entry on our behalf might be upsetting. I just would have thought that a freebie like grace would be popular on a bargain website.

          @thevofa: The irony being, that if you don't accept terms and conditions, then there is in fact no heaven and hell, so not much to get upset about. :)

          You might want to double check that, considering the history of how religion contributed to all these evils.

          Let me remind uyou which side was fighting in the american civil war for slavery, it was the south the deeply religious half of America. Notice for example with Christianity, for 1800 years the church and the people were so brainwashed they thought it was gods will. Same goes for Islam, you are aware that many of the sellers to the west in the atlantic slave trade were muslims …

          Or how about we talk about the dozen of so islamic countries that have under age marriage on their law books, or better yet ask the UN for their list…

          Really ?

          Too bad his father "loved" Jesus so much he "sent" him to get tortured so the father could forgive …

          try that in your own life, let your kid get tortured as the only means so you can :"forgive" someone…

          doesnt sound so grand in reality does it ?

        • @ninetyNineCents: yeah no kidding.

          Too bad that wasn’t the case is it? It wasn’t God who “sent” him to get tortured, instead it was humans who were bitter and critical who condemned Jesus to be crucified on the cross like a criminal.

          I wouldn’t say I would let my kid get tortured but my kid did get molested by an individual and I am supporting her through it.

          I would say to the perpetrator, I forgive you for your actions as everyone makes mistakes, so to me the reality is pretty grand if only we can learn to love and forgive.

          99c: But thats not what god did… he demanded that jesus die before "our sins are forgiven".

          Are you telling me gods and jesus example is wrong ? Yet again i will ask what would you say if someone in your family repeated "gods" example ?

        • @ninetyNineCents: God gave his son to the world initially for a different purpose, and the context for your passage is that an interpretation that God gave his only Son for us to free us of sins but prior to Jesus dying, there was no mention of that very idea surely? Doubt there is a passage that says God demanded his Son to die prior to his death anyway

          Well if I will gladly sacrifice myself or my kids if it benefits the masses or saves the world or whatnot based on the “gods” example. I don’t seek appreciation or anything but I will sacrifice anyone in my family if it saves the world.

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: God gave his son to the world initially for a different purpose

          99: You can say whatever purpose you like, but saying that your son must die so you can forgive to yourself is disgusting.

          HP: and the context for your passage is that an interpretation that God gave his only Son for us to free us of sins but prior to Jesus dying, there was no mention of that very idea surely?

          99: Thats true the passage doesnt say that at all, but thats been christian theology forever. Do i really need to tell you about the jesus on a cross symnbology ?

          I can find a better passage if you want, i just dont think this is disputed at all. Basically all christian religions believe and teach this, that god gave jesus so he could die for our sins.

          HP: Well if I will gladly sacrifice myself or my kids if it benefits the masses or saves the world or whatnot based on the “gods” example.

          99: Well the disgusting thing is god could have just forgiven our sins without the torture of jesus. WHo exactly forced god to "follow" this rule ?

          This is the disgusting thing, God volunteered because he wanted too, too force the torture of his son. There are no double standards, human sacrifice is always wrong, be it by the aztecs, you or me or god.

        • @mriethmuller:
          It's called cutting to the chase :p

        • @ninetyNineCents:

          SO please tell me why god did "have to" sacrifice his son. Who forced him ? Bible theology is that god is the most powerful in all the universe, which means if you believe that, that god chose or volunteered to follow this :"rule", when HE DIDNT HAVE TOO because nobody could force him ?

          How come when it really counts god has terrible disgusting examples ?

          Who needs enemies when your own father will do this too you ?

          In Mat 5 jesus says Moses laws dont need to be changed….

          stop and think about it.. how come god never says kids shouldnt be raped ? What kind of priorities are they ?

        • @Orpheus:
          On your sheets?

        • @ninetyNineCents: God’s will does not mean that he commanded it does it? There is always a choice and Jesus did choose to surrender himself willingly to be tortured and sacrificed rather than fight ( which his disciples did) so essentially one may argue that Jesus sacrificed himself for the good of all out of his own free Will. I am sorry for whatever atrocities that has been done unto you to make you so bitter but I reckon Jesus made a choice and I shall not discredit his choice in sacrificing himself as him being commanded by God.

          Theology in itself is still a mystery and no one can fully comprehend it. At least no one I know.

        • @ninetyNineCents: God’s will and not God’s command. Jesus could have fought or get his followers to fight and run off but he chose to surrender himself to God’s will, that essentially is not being commanded surely

        • @ninetyNineCents: it is in the bible. Under the 10 commandments. The act of raping is essentially stealing the virginity of the child and the 10th commandment states that thou shall not steal

          Additionally thou shall not commit adultery, raping is akin to adultery

          HP: Theology in itself is still a mystery and no one can fully comprehend it.

          99: No its not, you are just a coward running away from the fact its downright disgusting.

          Show a big of "christian honesty" and admit this is wrong.

          99: Hey stay on subject, show some courage and dont be a hypocrite, and answer this hard question.

          You are pathetic you dot even have the honesty to say this is really wrong and a terrible example. JHow much lower will you go ratgher than say the basic truth this example of jesus sacrifice is WRONG ?

          HP: The act of raping is essentially stealing the virginity of the child and the 10th commandment states that thou shall not steal

          99: Well Deu says you can rape virgins as long as you pay the father, google for it if you dont believe me, or ask.

          Even Moses knew rape and stealing are not the same thing. The Australian law knows they arent the same, pretty shameful God didnt care enough to make separate laws.

          There are dozens of laws about not shaving your beard, how is that more important than laws to protect kids ?

        • @ninetyNineCents: well that is one way of looking at it, to me i would say God sacrificed his only son for the whole humankind. Disgusting as it may seem, do you know how sacrificing your only child for humankind feels like?

          We say human sacrifice is wrong but yet we agree to euthanise people who are in pain and suffering so that they may be released. Is that not a human sacrifice in essence?

          Anybody who voluntarily sends anyone including their own kids to die is disgusting and vile, there is NEVER an excuse for it.

          Christian honesty is telling the truth and not succumbing to interpretations of others who may take things out of context. Otherwise others may be misled as has been shown.

          So would you say people who have sacrificed their lives to save victims in the 911 terror attack as wrong ? Or any civil servants or even any civilians who sacrificed their lives so that others may live.

        • @ninetyNineCents: well that is the thing, if I am wrong, why are people overreact so when it comes to religion especially Christianity? Is it because there is a certain truth that people refuse to see?

        • @ninetyNineCents: well god didn’t force anyone and how would anyone know why Jesus chose to sacrifice himself , not for he excuse because god commanded him but really have you asked Jesus? If not, then you are just assuming which does not make it true

          Well what is morality then? So it is ok only if it is beneficial to ourselves and if it is not, we condemn it?

          Exactly it doesn’t give you the right or excuse because that is wrong but main thing is you believe in your interpretations which are true to you so I reckon that is good enough

          Well good on you for catching me on my lies my friend. Amazingly brilliant man.

          You have been ever so right in your own beliefs and understanding. That in itself is the greatest achievement one can have. Oops did I just lie again?

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: you have caught me on pathetic and coward in the most calm manner you could ever express it in

          99: What else should i call you for failing to say that voluntary human sacrifice is wrong ?

          HP: Just as I have invented in your mind, you are quite the inventor too in my mind (another invention of mine)

          99: What did i invent ? Write complete sentences, i asked you to show me what i have interpreted from the bible and you have so far refused to do so.

          HP: Well if my sorry are lies, then sorry. Ooops did I just lie again?

          99: Well you did lie and say different things as comapred to the bible quotes i shared?

        • @ninetyNineCents: well tell that to the many who has died for the sake of others, unfortunately I am not one of them.

          If I invented my truth, how is yours any different when it is based on the same passage, just different interpretations, making it subjective truths to each of us.

          Well thanks for your lies too and I am a happy lying guy who is off to get some bargains now. Till next time, will give you that extra cent to complete a dollar too.

          @ninetyNineCents:

          There are dozens of laws about not shaving your beard

          Ha ha ha! I don't understand how an adult can read the bible with a straight face. I read the whole bible when I was young and in the end I thought it was written by a crazy person. There are so many ludicrous things in there.

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: If I invented my truth,how is yours any different when it is based on the same passage, just different interpretations, making it subjective truths to each of us.

          99c: I will say this slowly, i never invented anything, i even shared with your a few bible passages, i can show you MORE if you want that say EXACTLY what i claim.

          If i was inventing why would i tell you to read the parts of the bible for yourself ?

          I was just offering to show you exactly where it says what i claim. Thats not invention … i cant be invetnting because im asking you to read the lines yourself.

          HP: Well thanks for your lies too and I am a happy lying guy who is off to get some bargains now

          99c: WOw you call me a liar and yet you dont have the courage or dignity to quote me. Some honest person you are… you slander people and then run away when they ask you to show them…proof.

          Then again bible believers are hardly examples of intelligence, they dont even ask for proof or read the bible themselves…

        • +1

          @Drifter:

          Yes the bible has laws about not shaving your beard, in fact the punishment for this "crime" is death. Do you see where this is going ?

          Most people cant accept the truth that ISIS in all their evil and brutality are actually following the same laws that god commands in the bible. When you see and hear about ISIS you are seeing what happens when people follow the laws of god as he commanded them.

        • @ninetyNineCents: my point exactly, your claim is but your opinion, something you invented based on your understanding and wisdom.

          Well you can say what you want, that’s your choice and I choose to disengage as there is this is not going to make a difference to what you are and what I am so you are free to say what you want and think what you want, be it truth or lies.

          Then again you are not as clueless nor naive as bible readers so you probably have all the Wisdom and knowledge to know that you are right and so good on you mate.

          There there Jesus love you

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: my point exactly, your claim is but your opinion, something you invented based on your understanding and wisdom

          99c: its not an opinion, i am happy to share with you more passages from the bible, the problem is you dont ask because you are scared to see what it really says.

          HP: There there Jesus love you

          99c: Sure he does…not that it helps anyone.

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: There there Jesus love you

          99c: You tried to palm of jesus voluntary wish to die under torture, which leaves another question. Why did Jesus think this was a good thing …? THis is as mad and sad as a suicide bomber thinking their suicide is somehow pleasing to god, but then again you just did when you said it was Jesus wish.

          Something must be really wrong if any child thinks the answer for anything to please their dad is to let themselves get tortured and die.

        • @ninetyNineCents: well if that is not an opinion why is everyone not seeing the world as you see it? Problem is you take the bible so literally in your own understanding as I have pointed out that I understood it differently. I don’t see why I need to ask if it is not constructive, do you think this is constructive? All you can claim is god is evil and all based on your proof and yet religions exists, so how does that make you any more right than those who wishes to believe differently? Irony is, you are as religious and any Christian. Why I say that? Simple because you are preaching god is evil and christians are wrong and hey need to see the world through your mind and eyes, otherwise we wouldn’t be here replying to each other.

        • @ninetyNineCents: well as mentioned, it is a mystery, if the world is all proven and explained, there wouldn’t need for anyone to question would there?

          Well you are comparing very different things there I reckon. Jesus did not take any lives with him to please others. Well that is based on your judgment that something must be really wrong. And the context is not just to get tortured and die surely. If it is, then I agree with you, but unfortunately it is far Moore than a simple idea of pleasing and being commanded to die

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: well if that is not an opinion why is everyone not seeing the world as you see it?

          99: well most people are quite stupid when it comes to religion. Look at yourself, you believe in jesus and god the father and yet from your answers its evident you have never read much if any of the bible. I mean if god gave me a book and i believe it was his word, surely you shoudl have read it.

          ~~~

          HP: Problem is you take the bible so literally in your own understanding as I have pointed out that I understood it differently.

          99: Thats the only way you can take it, because anything else means you are making it up inside your head. If god can create the universe surely he can write a coherant book that tells a complete story and other details. You are insulting him when you say he cant manage that…

          ~~

          HP: All you can claim is god is evil and all based on your proof and yet religions exists, so how does that make you any more right than those who wishes to believe differently

          99: It wasnt that long ago most christians didnt believe in germs until they were discovered, that only shows they christians were ignorant. Truth isnt a popularity contest.

          ~~

          HP: Irony is, you are as religious and any Christian. Why I say that?

          99: Sorru you dont know what that means… theres a difference between knowledge and belief.

          We both know killing, raping etf are wrong, doesnt mean we do it.

          ~~

          HP: Simple because you are preaching god is evil and christians are wrong and hey need to see the world through your mind and eyes, otherwise we wouldn’t be here replying to each other.

          99: No the problem is you are again telling lies and corrupting the meaning of belief. The word only means one thing, you are using a different meaning when you throw that label at me.

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: well as mentioned, it is a mystery, if the world is all proven and explained, there wouldn’t need for anyone to question would there?

          99: Thats bullshit there is no mystery. I told hyou i can show you from the bible that it says what i claim, hyou havent given me the opportunity because you are perhaps afraid of seeing it for yourself and realising your beliefs are based on a lie.

          Im asking you now, have you actually read the gospels or any part of the bible ? I dont mean a line i mean entire pages and entire books ?


          HP: Jesus did not take any lives with him to please others. 99: I never said anything like jesus killed anyone, i have no idea why you would say that. This is really stupid to say.

          HP: Well that is based on your judgment that something must be really wrong. And the context is not just to get tortured and die surely

          99: The bible says jesus came to die for our sins because it was required by god. That s a fact i can show you from the bible or you can google for it and read the words yourself and see what they really say.

          Im not asking you to believe anything i say, im simply suggesting that YOU READ THE BIBLE YOURSELF.. i can show you or you can google for the passages yourself.

          Its that easy , like i said you are afraid to look because you prefer to believe the fairy tales you already know, you dont want to look and find the truth of what the bible actually says.

        • @ninetyNineCents: ok if you say so. Btw god did not write the bible. They are stories written by apostles and followers. Cheers and have a good day, you can continue saying whatever you want and commenting on me and how wrong I am, and feel whatever you wanna feel about the bible. The convo is getting obvious that you have differing opinions and that is all there is and as much as I refuse to see your truth, you refuse to see mine.

          U get angry when I say you are preaching but that is exactly what you are doing essentially. Just like many christians who takes time preaching on the streets and all. No difference as much as you may think it only means one thing ( words have different meanings anyway). Christians say God is good, you say god is evil. Plain simple what you are advocating for and what christians are advocating for.

          Thing is if your belief systems work for you then good on you. If you know the truth, then good. I see why you have your beliefs and how you have to resort to labels and singular meaning of words but the world is much bigger than that. Have a good day mate, truthfully been an honour and pleasure getting to know your thoughts and what you feel about god and all.

          Have a good one, time for me to run off after all the slander and all ( to save you from typing that again), in my words, disengaging. Just in case you do not take “disengaging” as literally like you do the bible. God bless

        • @Hunnypooh:

          HP: ok if you say so. Btw god did not write the bible.

          99: Well jesus doesnt say that, so what does that make of Jesus. Is he a fool for not knowing this or is he a liar for pretending it contains gods laws and other ideas ?

          HP: Btw god did not write the bible. They are stories written by apostles and followers.

          99: Moses is claimed to have written several books including Genesis, he lived 1000+ years before jesus.

          BTW: THe apostles didnt write anhy of the gospels, the book of matthew doesnt say who wrote it, the name we use now was added hundreds of years after Jesus.

          HP: U get angry when I say you are preaching but that is exactly what you are doing essentially.

          99c: Where is your proof im angry ? Its silly for you to say these things because you have no idea.

          HP: Christians say God is good, you say god is evil. Plain simple what you are advocating for and what christians are advocating for.

          99: Yet again you dont get it, im teling you to read what god says and come to your own conclusions. Telling people to rape virgins is not a thing a good person does, and yet god makes this his law and commandments in many places in the OT.

          I will repeat ask and i will share examples and you can then read them for yourself. Im not telling you to believe me, im asking you to read the bible for itself.

          99c: God bless ?

          Haha thats funny when has god actually blessed anyone. You need to read the bibe and see what happened to th epoor jews. They never got a break, god never actually helped them once.

          Nobody needs help like that.

          BTW: I asked you a question, have you read the entire bible ?

          99c: Again you are confusing beliefs with knowledge. I dont believe in god, i know he/she/it doesnt exist and is a human invention. I also know what the bible claims and i know a lot of its absurd bullshit that never happened and is completely stupid.
