and that she was making a mistake by not joining him. I too have experienced extreme indoctrination, and I am only 21. Lol!!! So I welcome offence, m8. People can't "offend" me, especially on things like religion, because that is their own view and opinion. LOL!!!
I dont know whether or not you think that I am part of an extremist cult or whatever it is you think I do, but I can assure you that we do not try to force our views on anyone. If ppl ask, we tell. That is all. It is up to them to make there own decision. There are many ppl I know who I am also very good friends with who were once members of my church who have left, and I dont see them any differently whatsoever. They're my friends, God loves them, and so do I. :-)
We will have to do the 3d thing sometime. Explanation will be better. :)

OK. I think it's time I truly told you where I stand on this. I am glad that you acknowledge that I am a nice, normal person, but don't hold back. You have made your point very clear. All I am trying to make you understand is that where I come from, there are some of the few who use religion sensibly, consider it a way of life, and not as an excuse for tyranny or evil.
You have given me extensive material to look up, but I am afraid this is not going to be one sided. Lol!!! I am part of a denomination known as Seventh-Day Adventists, (look it up, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh-day_Adven tist_Church), and we have a very different belief. Read up on us for yourself.
I too have lost friends and loved ones to faith. I don't know whether or not you have heard of the Waco incident, but i lost a friend in there, another friend, who is now a member of my congregation, came back injured, and I nearly lost my mother to Waco when the guy who was running it tried to convince her that he was right...

hi
i havnt been on dis thing 4 a while. I hav jus red again thru all da msgs u lft on my page b4 about me brainwashin kids jus bcuz u saw i was in a group called "Biblical Prophcy". As far as da brainwashin bizniz goes, we dnt do dat. We had a baptism @ our church yestaday, and those ppl made a very CONCIOUS decision to get baptised. As far as the faiths not making their mind on wetha God interacts wid us in our realm or nt, is not da basis of faith. it's only a small prt of it. It is very hard 2 xplain wot "prophecy" i b-leev ova imvu. We'd hav 2 b in 3d 2 do dat properly. My "religious hierachy" do care bout my dreams. In fact, they support dem. & I am making it very clear 2 u rite nw..."self-greed", dnt evn go there!!! Lol!!! Dat is NOT the 4ce or da passion dat drives us. I was raised in my faith frm birth. But dnt tink dat my point of view is blinkered bcuz of dat, bcuz I hav xperienced lyf in & out of da faith, & i decided dat lyf outside da faith wrn..

"i am one WITHOUT supernatural beliefs"
And yet you are discussing your beliefs with me. Curious.

"Your not very good at this .. 5000 year tale? your never heard anyone "say that" (grammer, there's a saying "practice what you preach") its in your bible, these earth christans you talk about, that just shows how faith can be USED, "slander"?," ;
First, "say that" is correct grammar.
Second, do some research. No one claims the earth is 5,000 years. A small group of people claim 6,000 years.
Third, I haven't once slandered you (in fact, that's technically impossible, since slander must be spoken-- in print it's called "libel"). I would note that false accusations are themselves slanderous, however.

"My grammer? .. yea ok usa spell "colour" then go destroy the english language some more, its a msg im not writing a book, or maybe i should, i'll call it the "invisible flying spaghetti monster", oh snap that's all ready been done, popular genre this, been done many times before"
I'm not asking you to have perfect grammar. I am asking you to demonstrate your vaunted capacity for "reason" by following a simple set of rules.
"You want everyone to be a christian? that sounds boring everyone dressed the same, doing everything the same way, oh wait i forgot you would have slaves, they would be different i guess. That is the grand plan."
There is a technical term for people whose arguments are so weak that they resort to slander and baseless accusations in a feeble attempt to validate their points.
That term is "idiot."

"Ok i'll measure again the speed of which the universe is expanding, because 5000 years since creation seems quite a bit off, religious ppl have to play the truth card to help drive faith, while i can say creation 10000000 years more or less, i'm not totally sure ... but its "definitely" (with proof) way more then 5000, so no truth in faith, so whats the point of religion? oppressive control."
I've never claimed that the earth is 5,000 years old. Moreover, I've never even heard anyone claim that.
If you bothered to do so background research, you'd know that Young Earth Creationists (a small minority of Christians) claim that the universe is 6,000 years old.
All religions are not made equal. Young Earth Creationism is simply wrong; most Christians will tell you so.
As for religion as a source of oppressive control: please give me one Christian theocracy in place today (i.e. one place where not being a Christian is a crime).

"if your really brave you'll leave my comments up , at least prove that your religion gives you brave faith(and blind) in face of FACTS and doubt."
You've cited no facts.
"because we know you know we are right "
Wow, real mature: "I'm right, because you know, that I know, that you know that I'm right."
As for poor grammar as an evolution of language-- first, that's etymologically questionable (note that slang is distinct from simple carelessness). Second, your grammar wouldn't be problematic if you were actually communicating something. But you're not: you're just ranting (on an abandoned page, no less).
How cowardly.
", then we will win , as its always been"
Read your history. You seem to be operating under baseless messianic delusions.

"Philosophy of man is the battleground ..... and while religions fight for power over ALL people ..... we the atheist (and look up the meaning of the word , we are NOT theological group, nice try but you people are scraping the bottom of the barrel) and whoever just wants freedom and justice ... see this ... and we will create the new Revolution, pZ Luv Reason"
And you have what empirical proof? What atheist countries can you point do that are doing so well, exactly? The USSR? Oh right, they collapsed. China? Nasty famines and oppression. N. Korea? Don't get me started.
At best, you can point to Scandinavia, but between shrinking economies, a demographic nightmare, and increasingly violent immigrant populations, they're hardly ideal. Plus, while they may have atheist majorities, they don't have atheist governments, nor they have atheist "revolutions."
By the way-- atheism IS a theological position. It's a stance on the nature of God, which makes it theological by definiti..

"its to cover that ALL people of FAITH that preach and covert too have a TOTALITARIAN world (under there particular faith), "
How precisely am I brainwashed? I could just as easily say that you're brainwashed, because you feel the need to post on a webpage that has been abandoned for almost a month.
"your the new "Hitler youth" , the world knows this , and once again the world will win , not race or faith or the intellectual but all free people , think of the last 500 years of wars"
Yes. People of faith (such as Eisenhower) triumphed over Hitler, the agnostic. Stalin (another atheist) fared somewhat better, but his empire was broken by another man of faith (Reagan). And, for all it's talk of greatness, China (the most notable atheist power in the world today) can't even prevent famine in it's own Western border, nor can it stop the spread of Christianity among its people.
95% of the world population continue to express faith in God. Faith is not defeated, nor eve..

"NO "faith" has a argument anymore"
First, sorry for the lateness of my reply (I'm starting my freshman year of college, and I don't have much time for IMVU anymore).
Second: your assertion is baseless. You claim faith has no arguments, but then you follow-up with a bunch of assertions, strawman-arguments, and ad-hominem fallacies.
"its to cover that ALL people of FAITH that preach and covert too have a TOTALITARIAN world (under there particular faith), "
And yet N. Korea, Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, Hoxhist Albania and Ceausceau's Romania were all zealously atheistic. Even Hitler claimed that religion and National Socialism are incompatible.
The guiding philosophical underpinning in the 20th century was atheism, not religion.

HI yes the evolution revolution has come to its climax in the nineties, however now it backslides for even the scientist's computer now knows their is intelligent design represented in creation, not a mere 'acident' is your eye ball, more advanced than any camera, yet when you see a camera you know it's designed. The one that is your eyeball is so advanced you just write it off as accident, it's that advanced its beyound your comprehension. But as bible says Man has no excuse to not believe in me, he just has to look at creation to see its design. That written 2000 years ago by the Apostle Paul from Rome.
God Bless you
