Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Usually praying is done in silence....

I always find it wierd how they focus in on just a few things to criticize... Like gay marriage... I had a short convo with two co workers... and one of them was like "well Jesus says it's wrong" and so on and so forth... I go on to say while that may be true it is not his obligation nor the governments duty to legislate on God's word... We have religious freedom in this country and a dvierse population in which people worship different gods or the same on in different ways or none at all... we can't force one's view down everyone elses throat... "well it's wrong blah blah blah" I'm like "don't you have two kids?" "yes" "and you had them out of wed lock?" *silence* I'm like "Because, as you know Jesus certainly frowns upon that..." Just walked away lol...

the whole point is they seem to just pick and choose the ones they want... not to mention that the chrch and it's flock should have nothing to say about it or be upset as long as they're not forced to perform the marriages... which they wouldn't be... anyways... yeah...

i enjoy the fact my parents never pushed religion onto me :P i ended up being agnostic on my own and respect people who have their own beliefs. good morning :P

basically the same situation for me, and one reason I really don't follow up or do stray off, it is because they try to shove religion to my face and they keep telling me "you should do this and that"
I still remember my family (aunts+parents) blowing up a fuse and going all "WTF that is not right" when a cousin of mine (who I see very rarely, maybe every couple years?) had his profile in FB set to Bi or something "we are going on a 3 hr drive to talk to him and set him right"
>_> rly?

But I've screamed God's name so many times!

Jokes aside, my family is somewhat religious, so when I was little I went to church, took some sacraments, etc. However I'm also not an automaton, I questioned these beliefs, the institution, everything, and made my own choice to detach from it and live my heretic atheist life.

They don't want to acknowledge that they themselves might be going to their theoretical damnnation. That makes them seem human and all of their beliefs crash around their heads.

(Also, why I don't care to talk about it usually.)

Ninja edit I saws it!

I say technically simply because how different the Catholic church is from a majority of newer christian churches(Post Martin Luther).

I also say technically because the Catholic Church was started by the apostles and thus is the official christian church. Any other denomination is essentially a knock of.

Edit: That being said, I have a purely historical view point thus is may differ from others.

Sometimes writing in english can be tricky! Us italians don't have varying sounds!

Just to add to my dad's crazy factor. I think it was either Memorial Day or Independence Day last year that my dad got drunk and started ragging on my brother about not having his son baptized yet. He went into this slurry diatribe about how his son saw the Devil, and my brother and I countered with our reservations about religion. I don't remember all of what happened that night, but my dad and brother didn't talk to each other for a good while after that night. I hope my dad completely regrets it now, and feels like an ***.

Burrito in the microwave for 2 minutes? Bean and cheese everywhere!

Burrito in the microwave for 1 minute? Cold in the middle!

Ok then! Burrito in the microwave for 1:30, right? Right? ...no. ;; Bean and cheese everywhere.

*Liela was defeated by the frozen burrito and microwave*

Just put an "ia" or a "li" on the end of it and you're Italian.

Doubt it, but it would be nice if he did.

Pretty much how I was raised/turned out. Grandma is religious but she let me make my own mind up about religion (as I'm now doing with my son, he goes to church and stuff, it's his choice to go or believe) I was christian for awhile, but the more I learned about it, the less sense it made to me.. I ended up agnostic eventually.

That really depends... Many people who have faith don't criticize the way others live or look to limit them... Personally I think it's just bogotry in disguise but that's just me...

It goes both ways though.. just as there are those that have faith and talk down to those that don't... there are those without that talk down on those that do... People are people... just use different mediums to spout their hatred...

My collar's black, not white!

lol... didn't mean anything by it was just saying...

Black to represent your sins!

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

Religion in a nutshell:

Everything good in the world > Work of god.
Everything bad in the world > Work of the devil.

Coincidence? Nah it's all totally legit...

Ahhh it burns! *hides in the shadows*

Not really true at all and you should probably specify christianity... There are a great deal of religions out there and they don't al follow the same line that Christianity does...

Someone tie her down!
It's time for an exorcism!
And I can promise you, this time you wont enjoy being bound and gagged!

Your namesake in the Bible was the second twin son of Isaac, tricked his older brother into giving him his birthright as firstborn son, married two sisters, had twelve sons and a daughter or two by them and his two female slaves, and was renamed Israel by God. His twelve sons went on to form the twelve tribes of Israel.

Fun fact: Your Biblical namesake was the father of my brother's Biblical namesake.
