WOW... I just got banned from HCAF!!

[jerrydyer]

oh hey keep in mind, the crusaders werent christians. The dudes who blow up abortion clinics with people in them arent christians. They just think they are.

That's what they would say about you. Though I'd prefer your attitude over there's any day.

cool but who cares what THEY say. Ive never killed anyone..........yet.

 

[Gooseman]

i have never been a member there, or at any other forum, but this forum does seem to be a bit better organized and "nicer" than the others i've encountered. i always come across these forums when reading reviews via google. this is by far, the best i've come across. hence my membership!

whats the buddist monks definition of heaven? Is it the Biblical one? Are there writings of another heaven prior to Job or Genesis? Id love to read it. If you beleive the Biblical view of Heaven but think you can go there without really reading the manual then your going to be sorry. Its a free gift. Why would the monk turn it down anyways.

 

[jerrydyer]

I can assure you this, You were not banned from HCAF for not being a Christian cause there are lots of Christians who have been banned that wrongfully claim the opposite. funny though .

Because he has free will and his own set of beliefs. As for someone being sorry for not reading the manual, Im pretty sure thats up to God and the individual and really not for anyone else to comment on but thats just my POV...

With a brain the size of a grapefruit, we sometimes criticize and pass judgement on things in this universe we have not the slightest ability to understand. Just because I don't understand, or can't put God/Creator/Higher Power, whatever label you want to use, in a box and give it a name..... that does not mean it does not exist and function in ways beyond my understanding.

The ressurection of Christ is the proof positive that he was right. There is Roman historical documentation of his leaving the tomb and being seen by many. Others rose from the dead when he did. That is some powerful stuff. You can take all the TV preachers grabbing money off little old ladies and send them off on a slow sinking boat. All the loonies that decide to kill people in the name of religion.... let them kill each other. They are using religion as a pertext for power and wealth. Someone rising from the dead, that is proof that God or whatever name you want to call the creator, put his stamp of approval on that messenger.

In the end it is a personal decision. A somewhat weighty decision that I would imagine at some point, most folks will carefully consider. I have been to the hospital many times to see friends and relatives. Everybody wants a prayer and as much of a hug as they can bear. It seems we are geared to want to believe in something. I have never heard anyone praying to pass into the arms of satan and he legion of demons. Well, except on forums and drunken rants from death metal heads.....

Choose wisely.

The Crusaders were Christians in many cases. Some where there for glory, battle, riches, etc. but many were there to defend their faith. If you go back to the history before the Crusades and look into what happened to many Christians making pilgrimages to the Holy Lands you may find one of the key catalysts admist all the other socio-political factors. History is up to the interpreter.

You can't apply modern, moral relevance to the past, the view, perspective and circumstances define how they interpreted their faith in the context of their time. I would say many who profess to be Christian are not IMO, but not my place to judge...I'm sure others would state I'm not Christian.

To know what you must believe as a Catholic, you should read the Dogma. You either accept it in its entirety, or you are not Catholic irrespective of what your novus ordo priest may say. IMO. YMMV

I'm a Christian. I don't usually get involved in threads like this because there's really no point. Here's my stance on my faith: I believe that after this life I will stand before God and give an account for how I have lived. When I pray, I ask for forgiveness a lot because I need it. I try to love my neighbor as myself, but sometimes I make mistakes with my temper. Believing in something without being able to prove it is what faith is all about, and without faith it's impossible to please God. Whatever wrongs and evil things happen in the world and all the horrible things people do to one another is not how God intended it to be, we did that on our own. God doesn't deserve the blame. I can't base whether or not I follow Christ by the actions of others who claim to be Christians but are so in name only. I look to God's word as the final rule when it comes to deciding if something is right or wrong, and if I want to know how God views something, I can learn about it in his word.

Jesus summed Christianity up like this: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

That's the main thing I try to focus on. I don't worry too much about what others do, I can only control what I do. If being a Christian is foolish to some, then that's ok. If someone calling me an idiot because I'm a Christian is the only persecution I encounter in my life, then that's nothing compared to what other Christians have dealt with.

Unfortunatly, just about every major war, terrorist attack, case of genocide , etc, has been caused by religion and how people always think that their beliefs(fairytale) is the right one and anyone that believes otherwise is damned. Not to mention the countless families etc split up over religious differances. That being said, there is alot of good that religious groups do such as soup kitchens, shelters, rehabs etc. I just dont like when they use these things as a back door tool for recruitment. I can see the traditional thing of going to church simply because its how u were raised but to actually buy into the shit and preach these fairytales as fact is just ignorance. Blind faith is for morons. I Feel that u should be free to believe what u want, but just dont believe because u are told to without questioning the logic in it. I just dont like being preached to or judged because I am unsure. I hope my rant doesnt offend anyone.

 

[bste328]

i live in Italy, and i'm actually way nearer the center of catholicism than anyone here i think....(the vatican is in Rome)
based on my experience the far you get the more the christian religion gets distorted....
NEVER EVER had any experience here of people saying you have to be saved or that's the end of the world...here we talk about that as they are alien and we are almost 90% catholics....catholicism is associated with fanatism but that's far from the truth...

fanatism is not the way we live here our religion...not at all! have trip here and you'll see

even the most believers do not judge the others based on look and if so it's only because of their poor education, or just because they're dumbasses

 

[bste328]

aside from that you don't have to sound like an asshole or saying everyone is dumb to be cool....

I got banned from HCAF after an hour of membership because I defended Adam D from Killswitch Engage as a decent rhythm guitar player. And when I got ganged up on on by the forum warriors with 13,000 posts for my opinion, i stood my ground and offered to evaluate any audio samples that would suggest they are better rhythm guitarists than Adam D. Of course none were ever posted. I logged in an hour later to a screen saying I was permanently banned. The reason for the ban was, and I quote: "Obvious be back."

WTF does that mean? I suppose that's what happens when you let a 14 year old kid have a ban hammer. I'm surprised the reason given wasn't "Cuz u r t3h ghey. lawlz."

You didn't get banned from much. Stay over here where it is safe and you can still express an opinion.
