1) Christians are in vast majority
2) We (you) tell people they are wrong all the time here. It's because we are on the discussion bulletin board discussing things.

1) Maybe in beliefs - but, from what I see, there's more "Stupid Christians always trying to tell us how to believe - well, here - PROVE YOUR STUPID RELIGION" than there is "This is how you need to believe or you'll burn in hell" type stuff on this board. Then again, I usually avoid these idiotic threads - so that could be why I'm not seeing it.

2) I've never once told someone how they believe is wrong. That would be a direct conflict with my belief system. Except Scientology. Those guys a bunch of

So believing in xenu is really that much crazier than believing in things like immaculate conception and the walking dead?

---

In my mind, yes. But I see the parallels.

Also, zombies are real.

Go Germany!

My beefs with scientology are more about them being a criminal organization than anything. But one can easily make similar arguments about the vatican. But their core of their beliefs while I think they're nuts are no more nuts than the beliefs at the center of christianity or islam. It's all wildly crazy stuff for rational adults to believe in as fact.

The rational answer to immaculate conception is that Mary was a whore who got fucked by someone who wasn't Joseph and she was a really good liar. I said it. You can believe that god knocked her up in her sleep. But would you believe that if your wife used the same excuse?

I don't believe that.

In fact, I think that the Bible is just a book of stories meant to symbolize a particular set of beliefs and was never intended to be taken literally. Does that mean that I think Mary Joe Sue from South Carolina is wrong in her belief and choice to take it literally? Nope. She can believe whatever the hell she wants. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

So I don't know where the "you" in your post comes from.

She's wrong as hell when she's believing it literally and using it as a tool to judge other people and for reasoning for voting for evangelical politicians who are pursuing a theocratic and discriminatory agenda.

---

Why does it bother you wtf she believe in?

Is it no different than what the Jews have done in the entire history of their people? Btw, you can substitute "Jews" with any other group of people if you like. It's all the same.

And I'm not going to get into politics with you (there's a forum for that where you and the rest of the tools can go spam each other silly), but you're an idiot if you think that there is anyone involved in politics who doesn't have a "hidden (or not so hidden) agenda" and is preying (praying) on the weak minds of voters to further that agenda. Not one.

---

Because she is pursuing a christian agenda to rule over me while most likely not living up to her own ideals. Prayers and creationism in public schools, women's right to choose, holy wars with islam, etc. I'm not down with any of it. I find it all offensive. I'm a firm believer in the separation of church and state. And that separation explicitly protects her right to believe in whatever she wants as crazy as I or anyone else may find those beliefs.
