stop trying to push your belief on us by posting your opinion in a public forum. let us believe what we want. i mean we were just sitting here peacefully believing that it's ok to advertise on buses and you had to come along and ruin it for everyone by making us aware of your contrary opinion. you really shouldn't push your beliefs on us like that. not cool.
alright first off, ur really gunna criticize an 18 yr old's spelling (and because i know ur gunna criticize my 18ness, " Let no one look down on your youthfulness..." 1 Timothy 4:12) then go right on ahead, I'll save my correctly spelled words for school. If i have improper grammar, then please point out exactly where it was, (unless it's with punctuation, again I'll save it for school) as I am a bit of a grammar freak myself. Next, I didn't say that the Great Commission tells us to be "bugging the h*** out of people and forcing them to convert under threats of eternal hellfire," nor did I contend that I would be "hurting each other physically or mentally to spread the word." I simply pointed out a basic teaching in Christianity to someone who claimed that this religion has nothing to do with other people. If you want to put words into my mouth, at least make them somewhat based off of what I said. I don't understand why u treat my extremely simple comment with such hostility. If you want to yell at me, look at some other of my comments and yell at them, but that one? I don't get it. (u can for instance yell at this comment, which is a little more debatable) have at it ol' chap
"I'm Catholic, but I believe in God in MY own way." Since when does believing God your own way substaniiate his way and his will. According to Bible texts those whoever do the will of God will inherit everlasting life. I think you should re-evaluate your statement above.
People who don't take religion seriously are not as decisive to their fate as ones who do not take the holy scriptures serious. Religion and the accurate truth of the scriptures are not one and the same thing.
I think that's kinda my point. Just because it's not the god that Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Jews and 90% of the world's major religions consider to be a creator, Einstein certainly believed in an intelligent creator (Please don't confuse this with Intelligent Design)."A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man." -Albert EinsteinThe religion he's referring to doesn't necessarily make him a believer in God according to the popular definition of major religions but he later clarifies himself in a way that cypherspace conveniently overlooked:I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. -Albert EinsteinSpinoza's god is a being that is concerned with the ultimate order of the universe and is what philosophers would equate to the natural law. God is not someone/something who gives a crap if cypherspace goes to mosque or prays five times a day. Anyone who thinks an omnipotent being is that concerned with their daily happenings is deluding themselves.

If I can do what "God" can do, am I god? Or is god a man?
