I remember seeing a "Bastad Ga1" on the RSB forums a few months ago :lol: Yeah you get some horrible names like "Wh1t3sl4y3r" etc. Theres no way JAGex can ignore racist/sexist etc names.

Yes it was a tragic death for the Brazilian. But I put a lot more blame on him than the officer/s that shot him. 1. He had a padded jacket, could of been loaded with bombs inside. 2. He had a rucksack (Well, some dodgy looking bag), which also could been loaded with bombs. 3. Witnesses report him as being in a rush. Now If I was an officer, my orders would be to ELIMINATE THE THREAT OF A BOMB DETINATING!!! The officers saw this "possible threat, and acted accordingly. I mean WTF!? you don't do or wear/carry these kinds of things in times like these. Although I do realise he was innocent, and my prayers are with his family.

Ofcourse Shippou, non-believers wont take the Bible in the same context as Christians, but what Gosu meant was that you're way off the mark. When I say you're stupid, I dont mean to insult you, I just thought you would understand what I mean by "stupid" as opposed to "intellectually inferior". You are stupid for assuming that I'm 12, in fact I'm 14.

so inother words the bible should be ignored, and it is basically whatever you make of it. So when people say read your bible, I shouldn't take any thing I read seriously.... No he meant YOU personally dont take the Bible literally. so now you say 1 person should tell every one what the bible means... You are so stupid. Yes, you are, and that isnt something I say lightly. In fact what you just said had nothing to do with what I or Gosu meant. He means you don't look at the Bible in the right way (actually, have you even read it?).

My cat is called Sylvester. He really does like the cartoon!

Hmm about the crusades, theres much debate on whether these were inspired by God or not. Popes launched the crusades, and popes are catholics, yet I do not consider catholics to be christian for a few reasons. Theres a lot of misconception about the crusades. A lot of people believe they were excuses to conquer part of the middle east from the muslim conquerers. The first crusade was a response to a distress letter from a Byzantium emperor requesting that troops be sent to him to helpm defend whats left of the "free" christian land and people in the eastern roman empire. The Muslims were rapidly taking much of Europe, and much land that was controlled by "christian" rulers was conquered and many of the peoples forced into conversion to Islam (they would be threatened with death, slavery, rape etc. to strike fear in them, thus forcing them to submit). This terrified the Byzantine emperor, and he new he wasnt a match against the rising muslim power. Ofcourse there was atrocities on both sides, crusaders would attack the jews living in the rhine area of Europe, even when the popes that had authority over the crusades told them not to touch them! Some VERY important cities in the roman empire that were predominantly "christian" cities(such as Alexandria in Egypt and Jerusalem in Israel,or some would call it Palestine) were conquered by the muslim army. The main goals of the first crusade was to liberate Jerusalem (the holy city) and to stablish a stronghold their so that any more Attacks from the Islamic powers would be counterred. There numerous crusades, launched by numerous popes, with numerous goals, but the enemy was always the Muslim conquerers. Some crusades were more successful than others, but none of them stopped their enemies from controlling much of the middle east. I dont know if the crusades were right or wrong, but what I do know is that without them, there would of been no one to stop the Islamic powers driving into western Europe. And armaggedon, ever thought of atheism as propaganda against God? Im sorry for any mistakes regarding grammar, but Im quite sleepy right now. As for bracketing christiantiy or christians, this is to show that they called themselves christians, and that I dont know that God sees them in the same way.

Not being funny, but I see Jesus on a llama :shock:

I am going through a very hard time right now myself. I have a chemical inbalance in the brain that is causing my depression and the Doctor wont even give me the medication to treat it. On top of that, there have been rumours about me which are just destroying me and peoples oppinion of me. My life seems to be falling apart. We all have our greatly desperate time of need, and that is when we need him most. If you ask him for an answer and you have faith you will recieve one, then you will get it. Never lose faith my friend, never lose hope. You must still be in school... Why do you care about what people think of you? Trust me, it doesn't matter. If you invest energy into caring, it'll take away from your education. It's not worth it. Once you're done with school, you look back on stuff like that and think "Wow...That was totally lame." so don't even bother with it. Tell them to shut their mouths if they have a problem. Yes I am in school, but no Im not being bullied. The rumour was started by a boy, same age, slightly weaker who hated the fact that Im having a relationship with a girl that he has an interest in himself. He was saying that we've been having sex etc. in the caretakers room everyday after school. But one day he started hitting on my gf and he started getting "touchy". So when I saw this I broke and just beat the crap out of him. And the rumours are still going around, but people just hide anything from me instead of being open about it. Theres much more to life thats causing a hard time. Being a christian has its disadvantages, especially in your teen years. never assume so much so quickly Dark Tigra. So thanks for being on my side, but I really dont need any help from anyone. Im sick of people thinking im so weak.

I want to be an RAF fighter pilot in the future. Our family has had a big military background, yet no one has been a pilot. I want to see the world, through war or peace. I just dont see myself working as a civilian.

I dont regard catholicism as christianity at all. The worship of mary, and the pope are false, along with some of the teachings and rules. In fact I dont think most of their material comes from the bible! You need to be more specific about love, sex, masturbation etc. God encourages love, and sexual love is definatly not a sin, in fact it is encouraged-among married couples, so that they can be closer together and avoid temptation of adultery. You just have to read Song of Solomon to know that the Bible encourages passion. In genesis God commands, "Be fruitful and multiply". The bible doesnt actually directly talk about masturbation. The part where a man "spills his seed" is actually witdrawel (This is the OLD testament too). I hope this has enlightened you, at least somewhat.

Do neither, but take a break from runescape for a while and find a new hobby.

I agree with that. But Its actually Satanism that is masked. Satan wants it to look harmless so that the people following it will be decieved and sent to hell with him, regretting what they did and not listening to the warnings like this for eternity.

Exarch you don't impress me. There are people who put up a decent reason/argument to not worship God if he was proven to exist. How is the idea of God existing so absurd? You shouldnt compare him to a fancy toilet seat :roll:

You musn't mean the Christian God then.

Self indulgence is wrong. It can cause others to suffer.

It God doesnt exist then it doesnt matter. If he does, it means the Bible is the truth. If the Bible is the truth then it does matter if God exists. Because deeds alone will not let us into the kingdom of heaven. We have limited time on earth, but in that time we can choose how we spend eternity. Thats why it matters if God exists or not. Hope thats answered your question cupcake :)

I suggest you do the same. You shouldn't make sarcastic comments if you are interested in no flaming.

Ask christians that. God and Satan really arnt so differant. some people are just narrow minded and belive god=good stan=evil. I assume you believe that God is evil. Is love evil? Is creating us and offering us eternal life with him through Jesus Christ evil? God sacrificed his son for us, so that we can live with him forever, instead of burning and rotting for eternity with Satan. Is forgiveness evil? Is self-sacrifice evil? I think not! I think your the narrow minded one. Do some research, read the bible before making an accusation such as calling God evil.

Note sinisters avatar and signature. Its an encircled pentagon with goat (or rams?) head in it. This is used in Satanism. In the Bible the goat (or ram I forgot, sorry people) represents Satan. Satan=Evil so I would say you could call Satanism the worship of evil (assuming it's the Satan from Christianity). What do you gain from worshipping evil? P.S I can't see why this could be called flaming.

DaN I suggest you read the NIV or NAS version. Both of them come in modern day text, translations etc.

Its just a name in game anyway. Its not like your saying god is a moron.

Have faith teargod. Your prayers will be answered.

I doubt many will find out about that though, unfortunatly.
