OK, grasshopper. If that's how you deal with me handing you your fanny in the forum, then good for you. ~Ulrika~ * takes her fanny and sneaks out the side door * _____________________

Shut up! Have you been lurking here all along without telling me? ~Ulrika~ I remember the Zombie animation mess... the startup of Neualtenburg... and then I had to quit SL because I moved and didn't have broadband for a while. When I came back, I tried to get in touch with some old friends, and most of them were like "who?". So I gave up. |

You were my favorite right-wing voice on the forums! Had I known, I would have run defense for you these past few months. Nonetheless, it's great to have you back! ~Ulrika~ Defense? Heck no! I won't take anything less than 100% from you or anybody else.  |

I drink beer.
When I drink, I get drunk. When I'm drunk, I pass out. When I pass out, I commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. Lets all drink beer and go to heaven. |

You mean aside from stating the belief that I must be miserable to live in such an intolerant and hate filled mind? Give me a break! It's like christian shaming-the-nonbeliever amateur hour. ~Ulrika~ Ulrika, here is the thing. You didnt have to reply, you could have read past this thread. Never once on this forum have I ever critisized someones belief. I never called you a sinner. Yet, you feel the need to come in here just to insult someone beliefs. Why? Why does it bother you that I felt like sharing a poem for my fellow Christians? The poem did not put anyone down. Beleive what you want, but why dish out such insults? So yes, you displayed hate and intolerance. Edit: I want to add Ulrika, I dont think you're a bad person. I think you do it for the entertainment factor. I just wish you would stop and think for a moment how contradicting it is. |

On the one hand it professes that Christians are not prideful, yet the poem itself is positively brimming with pride. As a Jew, frankly, it's one of the things that turns me off about Christians. We get it already. You're better people. _____________________

You are making the assumption I feel that way . Am I content? Yes Guess where I have been the last 3 week. In Israel doing a missions trip helping Jews. Yes I am a Chritian, no I do not hate Jews. My beliefs are, Jesus himself was a Jew, as you know. So why would I feel I am better than a Jew? Assumptions suck. |

You misread, it said we are not good, just forgiven. No --it's that humilty makes us better stuff that I find so ironic. It's infuriating. All humans are good. Every single one. I think you guys don't even understand what Jesus was saying. _____________________

You make yourself all puffed up with pride about being a lost sinner. I think it's a cop-out and leads to lack of a genuine moral core. God doesn't forgive all. God doesn't give a rat's ass. It's on you. If God exists He gave us all free will. _____________________

Ok, there is one of our main difference in beliefs Kendra.
I'm not going to sit here and insult you for it though. Our belief is that Jesus gave us the right to forgiveness. You dont beleive in Jesus so you don't share that beleif. |

You dont beleive in Jesus so you don't share that beleif. I don't believe he was the messiah. No. I have read his words --and I disagree with the current line of Christian thought as to what he was saying. I also think that's what Ulrika was referring to when she posted about his ::rolling eyes::: I don't think Jesus would be at all pleased with this worship of him. Just sayin' _____________________

I was talking to Kevn. Your statement seemed to be grouping all Christians together as a whole. After all I do believe humility makes me better. Not better than you, a better person. |

Definately, I became a Christian because of my own beliiefs. Not because some "Christian" saved me! I am a Christian because I read the Bible!
I found this today. I did not write it but I think it explains alot to those who feel all Christians are trying to be "holier than tho" Wish I knew who the author was to give credit. When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!" I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this way" When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human pride I'm confessing that I stumble — needing God to be my guide When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not bragging of success I'm admitting that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it all I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect My flaws are far too visible but God believes I'm worth it When I say, "I am a Christian," I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge I have no authority — I only know I'm loved |
