Mom threatened to kick me out...

[Disquiet]

If God is the truth, the bible may not be the best representation of his existence and love, it's a book that was written long ago, presumably based upon true events. You're placing too much faith in mankind if you expect them not to add and takeaway. One of the most common mistakes of mankind, is that they equate thinking for themselves and questioning everything to mean turning your back on a subject/belief entirely once it is no longer 'logical' to them, it is important to consider the events and circumstances surrounding that logic. If the truth behind life is something you must know, it would be quite frustrating to abandon the path and seek elsewhere when you were already on it. Though I guess other roads of life are an experience and teaching within themselves.



Anyways, if you think your mother is for real about this religious thing, be it fake or not, then it's only 'logical' that she wouldn't want you to burn in hell for all eternity lol. Even if it only exist in her head. It's showing that she loves you. Unfortunately not everyone is gonna love us the way we want them too, but it doesn't mean they don't love us with all they got (A quote from someone else).


I'm not condoning her actions, she should actually be more understanding as well and never threaten to kick you out. Let me ask you this though, do you really feel she would kick you out? Or is it nothing more than an empty threat?

My mother is very religious, fortunately for me she's never tried forcing her views on me. The way I see it no one should try to trample over another persons beliefs simply because it's not the same as their own. Your mother is only doing all she knows, and that's to give you some silly ultimatum for not doing what she says just like the bible does. It's been my experience that most people go to church out of fear, and to me that's no way to live. The way I see it if hell didn't exist churches would be empty.

...There is no hell! If anything, the earth is hell! Because we make each other suffer...

The hell you believe in, was created by your imagination...congrats...you created hell for yourself.

I keep telling people that we have control over our own destiny, we punish each other, we created religion, Jesus chose to sacrifice himself, we killed him, we created the "god" in the bible, we feed those starving children in africa, we send donations, we protect our countries from offending forces, WE pray to US to make everything better, we create people, people created us, existence is made up of energy, we ARE energy.

WE+anything that exists= GOD

 

[Yo pappy]

Well as far as ive gotten, before christ god threatened and did kill people, and people were to kill animals as sacrifices to him

Eeeeh.. animals that were sacrificed were meant to represent the coming of Jesus Christ, and they knew that one day their sins would be cleansed if they did so. So no, even then they were doing it because they wanted to be freed from their sins that way they wouldn't have to go to hell. Also, I didn't actually mean churches would be completely empty. Hyperbs bro

Hey NB members,

This morning my mom offered for me to go to church with her, now, my mom KNOWS i don't believe in religion, so I gave her a long stare, and politely said "No, you know I don't do religion".

She gave me a serious look and was like "You know what, I'm going to pray for you"...please, that fear won't work on me anymore.

I went down stairs and she started telling me how "I'm going to hell" blah blah blah...(A lot of arguing about the plausibility of the bible) And threatened to kick me out for not believing in her religion.

In the end, the fear she tried to instill within me...was ineffective. I've already experienced religion, and broke free from the invisible shackles that oppressed me!

I love my mom, and yes, I do believe in God, but not the god religious people worship. I have beliefs, but not something that could be considered a religion.

I believe that we and everything that exists are ALL god, we have control over our own destinies, and the only person who could punish us for our wrong doing are ourselves...and karma.

We're here to EXIST, not live in a box fearing the day that "Jesus" will come and take some of us away, and leave the rest to suffer...

What's your view on religious parents, do you feel their upbringing is extremely rigid and oppressive, or it's good to have religious parents, and you love religion.

In every world,once you die,you're gone

Kirito: why did you do this?

Why huh i forgot a long time ago i wonder why...
When i began developing the full dive environment system...
no long before that,i dreamed of nothing but creating that castle,a world that surpassed all our laws and our restrictions and now i seen someone surpass even my own world laws... how old must i have been when i obsessed with the fantasy of a steel castle that floated in the sky,i wanted to leave the ground to fly to that castle for a long time that was my only desire.

lol I don't actually believe in hell, and you can believe what you wanna believe. It's your right as a human being. All I was trying to get across with that statement is that if there was no hell in said religion hardly anyone would bother spending time in church. Most people convert, and attend church out of fear that if they don't they will go to hell after they die. It's got nothing to do with going to heaven or how great God is, and everything to do with not burning in Hell for all eternity.

Idk what you are trying to do posting quotes from the bible. I just know the second one is taken way out of context. He never even killed the kid. He was just seeing if Abraham would do it and stopped him at the last minute. If he killed his only kid, Israel wouldn't even exist. According to the bible that was the main lineage of the Jewish people through Abraham, and Isaac.

Not to mention using the old law and showing how horrible it was back then. Then posting the new law and trying to compare the two.

the kind of thing i hate. Tell her would god kick out their own child?

Oh my God, the irony here is astounding.

Mind telling me what your implying? Or your just gonna be a religious prick about it.

New International Version (©1984)
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

or maybe...

Genesis 22:2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.

​

Thirdly;

Now reconsider your post, are you mad at me or are you really mad at yourself?

^This statement is utterly childish..

It's not that simple...

Its very simple if you are handsome and a lot of girls love you

 

[Awkward Linguist]

No but seriously, if we're all gods, how come we can't stop global warming using our powers? Or magically cure cancer? And by "ALL" are you generalising to my pet fish as well?

First, why the hell did you even quote me if you did not read what I said. That makes no sense. Either you read it and said you didn't read it, or you really did not read it and you are quoting me because I quoted you. If it is the 2nd one why did you post everything below "didn't read" without context. If it is the first one, why say you didn't read when you did. Both are ridiculous to the claim "didn't read.

Second, "LULZ-WUT-M8T" is this even English? Then you quote a bunch of people that really makes no sense on top of that. I'm just wondering if you are just trying to get your post count up and disguising it in gibberish.

Thirdly, Why would I be mad at you? I have no reason to be mad. I'm just wondering why you are taking bible verses out of context, and wondering what point you are trying to make. There was no hate intended.

So blatantly ignorant, it really saddens me to know that people like you view and post on my threads.

Responding to the bold text:

That's YOUR idea of god, the god depicted in religion. Who said things could be magically done?You'd have to be a moron to not realize that real "miracles" take WORK and time. It was the BIBLE that gave the impression that "God" could do things magically...

We are not "God(s)" we are GOD.You can't read too well, lmao!

I can't take you too seriously, since you lack maturity on this particular topic. Buddy, these are facts...not imagination.

This guy understands the concept of God.

 

[~WastelandSociety~]

My parents are like that,only they do that for every place they take me.

Though looking back I'm glad I didn't complain like most kids these day about "Oh why do I have to go to church",or "Why do I have to go to the store with you".

I for one enjoy going to my greek church,and I like to go with my parents. Not because they are making me go,,but because I like spending time with my family and going to church to pray.Also to talk to other people during lunch or I go to a Greek cook out and help the old with carrying food,etc.

I don't see why you don't want to go,or just spend time with your family.
But you got to respect her as well.

That's right. The church does. The church's primary teachings are that off 'God' being something external and superior to us.

I agree with the respect part.

But, it's natural for a child to question things, if the child doesn't, you should be worried.

Everything needs an explanation, i believe.

Edit:Read genesis, and tell me that doesn't sound magical! lmao

It's as if god made things "mysteriously" appear.
