Why would I do that? We can have our own in depth discussion here. Why sniff other people's assholes if we can expose our own.

You know as well as I do that there are some people here that would go to Hell if they died today. I'm not going to name any names because they probably know who they are. I've never met a Christian that said they are better than the non-beilever. We aren't like that. I myself have NEVER said that I am better than a non-beilever. They are just misinformed. I'll bet there are some people who donate to charity every day that is a non-beilever. You jump to conlusions and say that I think myself as a better person than a non-beilever. That's hypocracy. Jesus says ''Treat everyone as you would like to be treated.'' I never treat someone with disrespect unless they show disrespect towards me. Making fun of something I beileve in is an insult towards me, and yes I will call someone who insults my religion a fool because they do not know the truth. I feel sorry for them as well.

Because the mental capacity of the some of the people on this forum is not enough to fill a glass of water.

Cough me cough

Yeah, people who view religious ideas like Vance are the reason we have holy wars in the first place. I know he's still a very young and naive person who has alot of lessons to learn so I'll leave him alone about that part.

I've been there, I was baptised Catholic, both sides of my family are devout Catholics, I went to Catholic schools, went to mass two times a week, read the bible on a nightly basis, confessed my sins regularly and even went on a Religious pilgrimage in The Philippines. When my life started to hit the shitter I prayed to Jesus and kept the faith hoping that God would help out in one way or another. One day though, I thought real hard about it all and I just said "fuck it, fuck all this religious shit. People get killed on a daily basis for their religious beliefs, I'm not dying for an invisible man that doesn't do shit for me."

So from that day on I live for myself and the people I care about. I threw away all my rosaries, crosses; anything religion related. For now, I couldn't be more content. I have a roof over my head, food on the table and a love in my life. I am essentially, free. So thinking back I've realised that religion is just a waste, you just simply have to live for yourself.

What in the name of Allah are you talking about?

You'll understand later in life.

I don't. I don't judge people by the way they post. I have not seen that many true blasphemous posts on that forum. Or is flaming or saying fuck a sin? This is just the internet.I have met lots of them. Some are like that.You have never said that on this forum, I'll admit that. Donating to charity does not mean you are a good person. Donating to charity is the one of the easiest things a person can do to make himself feel like a better person.Making fun of someone is not always disrespectful. It keeps you and other people sharp. Hurting someone on purpose is. People who insult religion are, too. I have not seen insults in this thread, only opinions, pretty civilized for AA.com I'd say. I guess I was jumping to conclusions, yes. But I have seen too many people who 'pity non-believers', using it as a euphemism for 'I am better'.

What, that God doesn't answer my prayers? Why don't you go up to my youth minister and tell him ''You'll understand later in life.'' Because he wouldn't be here today if it weren't for Christ.

How did Jesus save his life?

Well, that's not how I use it. As I said, I feel sorry for the non beilevers, which is pretty much the same thing as pitying someone.

Let's just say he was really screwed up. Getting drunk almost every other day and going out and almost killing himself in a car accident. He was just really messed up and he needed help so he turned to Christ.....in turn, Christ changed his life around and now he is our youth minister. I am sure I am missing alot of things on his life but that's the jist. May I ask how your life became bad?

Heh, I'm the total opposite of him. My life changed for the better when I knocked off all this god shit. Hmmm, it was mostly due to my parents. Things started to get rocky, my mother got addicted to heroin and my father and I moved out. Then about three months later he died from a stroke. My mother ran off something and my only relatives left were my brother (in prison) and my uncle (who was on a sabbatical in South Africa). I was alone. I had no money, no shelter, no food. I had to sleep on the streets for almost a month. Basically, I had hit rock bottom, my life couldn't suck more. So as I was sitting on the stairs of the church I basically had a moment of clarity and basically told Jesus to feck off and denounced my religious beliefs since they really didn't help much. So finally a social worker comes along and throws me in a group home (aka: Orphanage) where I stayed for a couple more months. I hated it there and eventually I worked out a deal with one of my friends and I ran away and crashed at his place for awhile.

I stayed there for almost a year. I got the odd job here and there and I collected my father's death benefits and I was saving up some serious cash. Well that unxle I was talking about earlier died in a car accident and he willed me his house. So here I am today, living in my late uncles house, girlfriend cooking breakfast, and a BMW in the driveway. I am content.

err not to be mean or offensive but technically you were a Hobo?

Yup, definition of rock bottom.
