I honestly, do believe in God. He has been with me through the good and the bad. Lately, I have heard a lot of people blaming God for what happened to them or for what they did. I even heard someone blame God for killing their brother and he doesn't think a god exists. Not too many people stop and think about what they had done or what they had brought on themselves. They even blame the devil too, but they blame God more. People, think before you act and don't blame God for your mistakes! God loves you.

Prime Example of what Shoya and I were talking about..
Lady J- maynot like what she read here. With her being a Christain more than likely she's gonna stop speaking to me on AIM or in any other way. Or it won't be the same..Ya know they gotta stay away from us Heathen's
i dont know but i just hate it when people classify everyone of a certain group together. like just because they all believe in the same thing that they are all going to go about it the same way. just because people may have done shady Sh*t like that to you in the past or whatever doesnt mean that Lady-J or anyone else will do the same. but im sure you already know that...you just more than likely decided to forget about it in light of the discussion. i feel lady-j because i am a christian and i also happen to be hot-tempered and reading stuff like this makes me upset also. to have someone knock what i believe partially because of their own personal mishaps. but you know what...its all good. i am kinda glad for this topic because even though i dont agree with alot of what is being said, i am still taking it as a learning experience. and for the record, 1lazynigga, if i happened to know you like that, i wouldn't have stopped talkin to you becuase we have different belief systems. in being a christian myself, i accept people as they are. i may agree with their beliefs but i still admire and respect them as a person....maybe u need to be surrounded by more positive christians instead of the ones that steadily put you down....and dont say that all the ones you do know DO put you down cuz i have a feeling that that is what you are gonna say next and i dont wanna hear that Sh*t :arrow:
**officially TOO THRU with this post :arrow: :arrow: **
Gurl u know u comin back!!!
And thats where a lot of Christian people go wrong...when they get heated over this type of stuff. Its simply juss folks expressin their opinions. Ya gots ta stay coo calm and collective. So that way, all of yer thoughts get processed! :lol: :lol:
true i mean why get overheated about opinions, because its good to talk about stuff without getting angry, truely unecessary, especially amongst the black community...
besides jesus didnt get disciples by being an ****....not that im talking about any of yall trying to convert me :lol: , but christians in general just need to educate better in a more calmer, intelligent way instead of being so judgemental if they really wanted to spread the word ya know

I don't see how anyone could worship him when he continues to turn his back on us..Not too long ago..I decided to turn my Back on him...
whoa whoa whoa....now i didnt stray away from the typical christian god because i thought he caused floods and stuff....its just i did not feel a spirtual presence with going to church, the bible...it seemed fake....
Well, it's more of a combination for me. Ya know, I actually enjoyed going to church because everyone was singing, clapping, showing love to one another..But when service is over your brought back to REALITY.

You dont know what you are talking about. Keep my name out of your posts, and dont assume sh*t. :roll: :arrow:
I learned my lesson a long, long, long time ago never to get in threads that have to do with religion. Too much drama comes along with stating your views and an argument will 99.99% of the time come about, and it's an argument that will never end

i think its about time we change that, because why cant we as intelligent black students discuss our viewpoints and different cultures in a more intellectual manner so we can learn from each other.??...besides its free speech....i guess to continue on...my religion is spirtuality, it basically believes in everything about christanity except certain things in the bible that seem to contradict itself....i mean ive been buddhist, wiccan, christian and ive studied religions a bit but im not an expert from rastafari, jewish(since my last name is jewish), voodoo, heck even satanic and vampiric religions...note i said studied not practiced :lol: ....but i guess like even though i have been with my current religion for a good while, like talking withother people of those religions i mentioned and interacting with them...like it helped me to not only accept my god but to also not be afraid to question and try to figure out why some things happen instead of just saying "this was done just BECAUSE!!!" ...i mean just like christians who learn about other cultures and study their bible they are the most armed to defend and teach others about their religions ive seen...and i believe my experiences helped me in that way as well...and i think if black people did have more open discussions about their's and others religion we would definently be more educated about dealing with each other..i mean if you think about it if we cant even discuss religion amongst ourselves in a mature manner how can we expect to actually rise up in a UNIFIED fashion as a people now and in the future...i mean, for example, martin was christian and X was muslim but they were still fighting for civil rights just in different manner, feel me??...and i just rambled sooo much damn :?

I only read the first line, but yeah we should be able to discuss these things intellectually, but on most cases these discussions are not handled intellectually. Why have a debate with someone who can't take what u say and try to look at it in your point of view? It is like writing a big **** paragraph trying to debate and it all goes out the window. Plus, people get offended by stuff, so....
Hey! I'm back! But only for a few min. Anyways...I agree wit Shoya...cause i feel like we should be able to have an intellectual convo. Im not getting offended by anything she is saying. I am a very open minded person. I feel like our whole convo that we've been havin, hasn't been more than juss different views. And i hope that i haven't offended anyone...and if i did...i apologize!! But i think that we're all getting along fairly well in this post!!!
God is real...
and we need to stop blaming the devil for our mistakes too.
every five seconds the devil is like " who me?" because one of us clowns cannot take up for our own mistakes...
yeah, and don't blame God either!
