Guest, that makes you the annoying kind of religious person. Because I KNOW there are tons of good religious people who won't be sending you "to hell" everytime they hear of you.
Are you missing your own point here?

@doctorhooligan, when it comes to religion, we respect your view (we haven't been brainwashed btw) and just because you can't understand our religion or why we believe what we do , doesn't meant it's wrong.
Ok fine. I won't argue the validity of your religion. But to believe in a god who teaches children that if they're bad they'll be tortured for eternity.. well to me that's just sick.
Didn't we make a rule against arguing about religion because it doesn't matter?

actually, if we're catholic, we only believe in the new testament (except the wbc crazies) and there are different views in that as well, I personally don't think there's anyone in hell except maybe hitler etc. It's not sick, and it's a beautiful religion as long as you're not an extremist, like any religion.
@doctorwhooligan I agree with you on your point. I don't believe in a God that works that way either. I actually think it's only religious extremists that really think that. I'm religious, and I still can't believe some of the ugly stuff that comes out of people's mouths. The bible was written by people and has been translated over and over. Things have been taken out and other things have been changed. The scripture some quote to "sustain" their hurtful behavior or beliefs, may have meant something completely different when it was written. That's why I think religion needs science. Just because we read that the earth was made in 6 days, doesn't make it true, or that that's what the writer even meant.
And that's my problem. That is so extremely rare to see or hear. I've never heard more hate spoken then when those who preach love on Sundays start talking. It's disgusting. Especially when they teach that shit to a child. How do you tell a child that if they're bad then a god full of love will damn then for a length of time they can't even begin to comprehend? I've got no problem with people having their beliefs or whatever, but that's where I draw the line. Kudos to you for having some sense lol. Seems rare these days.
Guys. Please. FUNsubstance. FUN being the keyword here. The guest was an idiot for bringing religion into a post about DISNEY being WISE. There is no point arguing if there's a god or not.
@doctorwhooligan there's no doubt that fear-mongeringand manipulation happens sometimes. People are just bound to do things like that once in a while, regardless of whether religion's even involved. God is full of love, which is why he would much rather we follow correct principles so that we can live with Him again. He doesn't damn anybody, we do that to ourselves. And our Father in Heaven cries for us when we do.
My comment on this post is that it's true, but that it's really really hard to genuinely understand something, especially if it's something you don't agree with. Naturally were inclined to distort and misrepresent anything we don't believe, even if we're not trying to. You see this literally everywhere people disagree -- both sides claim to know what the other is about, but neither side's accusations ate accurate.
