Some of them. Not all.

No.

9. Do you believe in a "Divine" being(s)?
Nope. I believe in purity.

Essay Questions:

1. Did you think any of the above questions where meaningless and illogical, why or why not?
No. Since you probably chose them for a reason, therefore giving them meaning and at least some sense of logic.

2. What religious background would you classify yourself as?
Christian-turned-Atheist.

3. What religious background are your parents from?
Catholic/Christian.

4. Why do you think your religion is the right choice?
It's easier, fits my lifestyle and it doesn't contradict with any of my "solid knowledge" (Things I know are facts (or believe, if science is correct))

5. Do you think your religion is the only correct religion?
No. Not at all. It depends on every independent person. Some religions might not be right for me, but that doesn't mean that they're not right for some other people.

This is completely retarded. No one is going to do any essay questions, and the point where stories from the Bible were passed down orally for some time were Genesis and the beginning of Exodus - plus, Beowulf is a story about monsters, and if you have the original transcript, why did anyone need to make shit up to make it more exciting?

Not like I'm religious, but you presented this the wrong way.


Edit: "No one is going to do any essay questions"... I sit corrected.

Actually that whole reflection thing was my friends idea, It was kind of a point of matter. As for what you stated about the period at which it was orally passed, it was more than just those sections. Beowulf ended up being about monsters after the 300 year oral transcription. The original true story was about a man killing a snake that was killing heards of sheep, or something along those lines.

What kind of evidence do you have to support that?

Google that bitch, I did a long time ago.

Interest wrote:

Google contains all the answers.

If you truly want to disprove him find about millions of articles saying that the bible is real on google. Go find a solid one.

On the other hand, there's probably thousands saying that the bible is not completely real, but based on certain true stories. However, these are backed by scientists and people you can trust.

What does it matter if God or the Bible are real or true for you or for someone else? If what they stand for is useful and good for millions of people in their lives and has been for countless years why do you need to go around trying to disprove them? People survive, let them do so in the manner they choose. There are stranger notions and truths in the world than God and the idea the Bible is true.

Unfortunately if we or anyone was to entirely disprove the bible, the church would say they are satan and everyone will then probably build isolation camps for themselves and end up performing ritual sacrifice and other shit like that to help god kill the devil, or some bull fuck shit.

In your Bible Jesus told the disciples he'd return before their generation died.... so unless one of them was immortal and managed to slip through the cracks, then your Jesus already came back a LONG time ago, which would mean the world shouldn't be here anymore...

Lol, I feel you man.

Essay Questions:
1. Did you think any of the above questions where meaningless and illogical, why or why not?
I don't really see their point but I wouldn't say they were meaningless and illogical especially if there was a real intention of figuring out something.
2. What religious background would you classify yourself as?
A nothing.
3. What religious background are your parents from?
My family is roman catholic though, my mom is atheist. No idea about my father.

I don't really think there is a "right choice" in the end any sort of religion is fucking stupid.
Or at least has some undesirable qualities.

I don't really have one but I'm open to the idea of other possibilities.

@Frosty: I can't stand people like that! My grandpa use to scare the shit out of me with that kind of talk. (I lived with him and my grandmother.) He'd always tell me the devil was in the tv and if I was a good girl I'd die for god and go to heaven. Just a bunch of other wacky shit so I understand that, although I'm luck my mom doesn't give a shit about my sexuality. Even though I can tell her 20 ways to suck cock but when I mention anything about a girl she gets squeamish. Haha. It's more funny than anything, except she always like to bring it up to everyone like I'm some sort of side show freak. o_O;

Yes/No Questions:

1. Do you like bananas?
Maybe I do.

Maybe I do.
8. Do you think it is possible that Wizards exist?
Nope.
9. Do you believe in a "Divine" being(s)?
I believe that there is a being that created us, but does not control our life. I believe that we evolved on our own, that the "Divine Being", whatever it may be, created the thing that we needed to live and said "Have at it."

Essay Questions:

Not very true, not true at all. You make assumptions based on out dated information about the church. The same mistake you accuse the church of. Learn the facts before you condemn.

Some churches are like that, because that's the tradition they come from. Fire and brimstone are more exciting that "Love each other".
I have no clue what Bible you're alluding to aside from the Mormon one which Mormons are a cult not a church and they believe in lots of things other faiths don't.


The Church is used referrer to the Catholic Church, which despite what happened in the dark ages that people seem stuck with, has grown and developed to be most accommodating to science and the world and uses and works with it. It has come to a very Eastern type point where its not that they are right and you are wrong or any thing like that but that there is good and there is evil. That this is true regardless of who you are and that what is good and just is good and should be sought by all people how you get there and what comes of it is up to you. Despite the opinions of most "educated" people that never bother to learn any thing about the church and assume its hocus pocus and magic bread, those who have heard both sides and can put aside prejudice based on some childhood events or old notions handed down by society can see that the modern church, at least those not constructed for money or cult purposes, simple try to promote a brotherhood of man and correct action, and love.

Another thing to consider is that the conflict between these two forces: science and religion, is created when the quality of one does not match the current standard in the world and thus does not accurately reflect to the other side its views, and as I was pointing out earlier out dated info about religion or science hinders the conversation. The best scientist before the last 100 years where all very religious. They do not exclude each other, the arguments are not set against each other or formed in response to each other. In the end they are world explanations created by the human mind and limited by it. On top of that when you reach the core arguments of each they are the same. "What's the universe?" "Its mostly anti-matter." "What's that?" "Not sure" "Where is it?" "Every where, but you can't see it." Can you feel it, measure it, or sense it?" "No." "What proves it?" "Nothing, we just know its there." Sounds a hell of a lot like every religious argument.
As so as you move in to real science beyond that of high school text books you discover nothing is truly certain, regardless of what argument you look at. The real argument and division between science and religion is political, political groups grabbed hold of one side or the other and promoted a poor quality of both and that is what we have bee focused on. When you deal with people from either side that are the best of the best in terms of knowledge, there is no argument only different opinions. In the end the way both of you look at it, you are religious. Your faith is science and not unlike the Church during the Inquisition you have decided a set of people is bad/wrong/evil and say they must be cleansed and are set about doing so. You're thus more like the image/idea of the Church you hate than many of those you are set against.
