3DollarBill Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Can't find fault with what Jesus did for you huh? Well, lemme see...the "price" he paid for our sins was apparently sufficient to cover everyone who has or ever will exist. And yet the only people who receive it are the ones who swear allegiance to him and manage to correctly guess the proper salvation doctrine based on an ambiguous and convoluted text. Yeah, actually...I find fault with that. Religion is definitely a drug, it's addicting, and unlike reefer...it's really really really bad for ya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdelsolray Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Jesus apparently had a bad weekend. The Christian meme, moreso than most religion memes, is a powerful meme. It contains numerous defense mechanisms (rationalization, peer pressures, logical fallacies, etc.) which have helped it replicate within the human population. I suspect the coming centuries will be more difficult for it. Some memes become extinct or mutate well beyond the original meme. We can only hope, and observe.

Paine Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 WIth every new boyfriend, I was a BORN AGAIN VIRGIN. Does that count? >>>>> And you know what I tell strangers who come to my door peddling Jesus---when they ask....."What has Jesus has done in (your) life? I am quite honest, with as much enthusiasm and excitement as I can muster...... I tell them...."He left." Then I slam the door in their blank faces.

Yeah, that's another thing that irks me, ie: what has god or he done for me lately? Diddley squat is my response. And I really have no problem with that because I'm fairly capable of doing things for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best line Ricardo ever said, at least in my view, was when asked why he was so obsessed in chasing Kirk (Star Trek), he gritted his teeth and said 'because he tests me'.

jdog Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I love your video and the way you talk and what you said. Funny too. You seem like a cool person to hang out with. And I think you are right comparing the way some Christians act like they are on drugs. I was a born againer myself and i use to say I was high on Jebus. Yep. I was in cuckoo land. It is beyond me how I even got there. I am glad I got into rehab .. (here at Ex-C) I have Been clean and sober from religion for 4 yrs now.

What you said, though, is SSSOOO right on the mark about this being our 'rehab'. That's exactly what it is - I was trying to find a way to describe it and you just did. I gotta hang out over here a couple of hours, off and on, each day to keep my equilibrium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB0XX Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 ]Mea culpa! I didn't mean to disrespect the wonderful weed or its users. LOL Christianity made me hungry for information, insecure, and deeply question my motives of everything. Weed makes me hungry for triple fudge cookies, paranoid, and deeply question my ability to drive. I'd rather get cookies than communion wafers.

Oh this reply was made at 4:20 Regarding both posts of yours - the first one was a great analogy and incredibly funny. I was thinking about this in a similar vein yesterday with some additional views. Once I got into the delusion and found nothing had really changed much after the initial 2 week honeymoon I'd mentioned elsewhere, I began studying it like you in depth. I read and was told something like 'well your circumstances may not change, bad things will still happen, but now you have someone to lean on or hang on to for comfort and strength'. What they described was my wife or some very good friends I could go to and get the same things from. And I found she and they were a hell of a lot more reliable than the 'god' substitute. And your 2nd post about it being 4:20am - I get it! I'm doing this one at 5:40am EST. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
