Welcome back Darkish (finally). You're using the word "Catholic" a lot. Narutokid is Baptist. Say "Christian" for now and we'll go into factions later.
Yeah, but isn't that what we're talking about?
The Catholic Church and the donations...charities and the such?
He has a point there, Quan. Btw, why are ALL of my posts ignored? It's not like I'm new at debating!!!
Do any of u have ANimal crossing for ds? If u visit me i will give u golden axe and 1,000,000 bells!!!!!! NO LIE! I just really want a friend, someone who is friendly and trustworthy.
Hey EternalSlayer...this guys spamming all the popular boards with this crap. You should either give him a warning or nuke him...either ways fine with me...Jacks
Jackal's right you know, this finpop guy has the exact same message posted quite a few times; all in non-related boards... I just came across it in ES's 5000 post board, that would be the fifth time i've seen it today.
It is getting kind of aggravating because, well, I hate Animal Crossing. And he's annoying...

Anyways back on topic... to Quan Chi, first of all I don't believe in God persay, I merely believe that there is a higher power somewhere in the universe: one that is both good and evil. One who keeps everything perfectly balanced.
My opinions about hell, and the war against God, well that's just how I see Christianity...
I used to go to church, and I found it just a big joke. I saw no way for me to believe that God was real. Once I went on a retreat with my church ($80..transportation mostly) and they called it the encounter. Back then I seriously tried to become closer with God. Then one day they did this thing where those who could speak in "tongues" went and surrounded those who could not, and prayed for them using "tongues." I just so happened to be the last person standing there with all of these people yelling out jibberish to me (but remember back then I thought it was Holy) and nothing would happen...I tried "opening" myself up to God but nothing happened, so I just started yelling out some jibberish and everyone started saying Halleluja(sp?)
I mean what I did was bull...There was no Holy Spirit inside of me...I just felt bad that I was the last one..
Since then I have lost all faith in God because He was never there... Personally I don't think God exists.
Since science has provided me with answers, I am more towards the scientific side of the debate and fully support them.
And Quan, yes you would get used to the flames....think about a shower (i know it is significantly cooler than flames but the same logic applies) you gradually turn the heat up and it may feel too hot for a while, but then you get used to it and you can turn it up even hotter, and still get used to it. Therefore I think the same for if there is a Hell. Burning for eternity...ya I'd say you could get used to it, I mean you're there forever, so let's say even 100,000 years...you would get used to it.
