The complaints you guys have make my complaints seem... smallish. Also complaining would let you guys know real life stuff about me, aside from a side of my personality. And you guys know how I am about that. hey, did the title change? ...rutabega!...

I don't believe you when you say you don't have friends. Who the heck do you think you're complaining to when you type that?! Who were you quoting? What would you define us as? Edit: besides cynical? Okay, that's as mushy as I'm allowing myself to get. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

First off, I do not believe in God. I do not think there is a supreme being, and I do not think there is anything outside of the universe. I also think that I don't know everything. I happen to think that people should strive to do the right thing. Most people can determine what's right without being told. Some may need help, but the general rule "help, don't hurt" works in most situations. As such, I don't believe in doing good as God's will. I believe in doing good because it is good. I don't think than doing a good deed for a reward (I'll get into heaven!) or to avoid a punishment (I don't want to go to hell!) is the right reason to do something. And if there is a God, then I'd rather be judged on what I did rather than how hard I prayed. As a side note, I think most people who believe in God do good thing because they are good. There are some cynical ones, though.  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: ("sirjeffrey")</td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> I have no friends.

I believe in God, and I used to be a fundamentalist Southern Baptist, but I've recovered <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /> Seriously, I've given up on arguing religion, but people who describe themselves as born-again Christians really get on my nerves.

Lemme just say that there are two very taboo types of topics that should really be kept to a minimum on any internet forum; Religion and politics. No matter how mature the board is, they always turn into some very, very heated flame wars. Please, keep these comments to yourselves, if you have a problem with something someone said, it could've been solved in a PM. The last thing we need are people pushing their beliefs onto others in here, that goes for both parties.

By the way, I need to remind people to keep this discussion civil. I personally have no issues with what you believe, and if you have something constructive to discuss, I may even welcome it. When you do share what you believe, however, please don't try to use that opportunity to insult and degrade other people here, or coerce others into accepting your beliefs simply because it is what you believe. It only breeds contempt and really makes it hard to maintain a community that respects its members.

I'd like to apologize for what I said earlier. I didn't mean it when I said  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> All religions are stupid. All people that belong to a religion are stupid. There is no god. You die and your corpse rots in the ground.</td></tr></table>  I should have said that I myself do not believe in god due to circumstances that I've dealt with. So to anyone who was offended, I'm sorry.

I have to disagree with Maeglin slightly... although I do technically agree with him, religion and politics shouldn't be discussed in forum boards, but... ...We haven't really erupted into a flame war yet. I think there might be hope for us... But then, I could be wrong... It'd be really (though not literally) ironic if we went into a flame war about that instead of religion <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

Yes no religion topics on here this should be locked.

I don't beleive in God, an afterlife, or reincarnation, any type of supreme being or messiahs or a non-mental soul. I have no qualms about others practicing their religion unless they use faith as tool for pain. I don't CARE what you think is divine, as long as you don't use it as an excuse to hurt.

Feel that I should apologize for the earlier post because I did not intend to offend anybody. What I am going to do is write out some information detailing what I believe. If you want me to address something specifically let me know and I will do my best to cover that. I will most likey not post it here rather I will prolly put it on the web site were I hold the images that I use here. I will try to have this done or at least a preliminary done by Monday The reason I refer to myself as a born again Christian is because in my view (at least here in the United States) just saying Im a Christian means nothing because it no long means what it once did. I feel the term born again Christian describes my beliefs better than just say I am a Christian. However I feel that say Im a Christian describes my lifestyle better than saying I am born again.
