Subject: Re: Catholisism Now Author: Oxymoron [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:20:11 06/20/02 Thu In reply to: Angie 's message, "Catholisism Now" on 20:55:31 01/05/02 Sat I totally do not agree that one is born into sin... that is a bogus lie, which religions use to gain followers... religion is like politics in some ways... you have to make sure that you appease the masses.. .you have to appeal to people.. and you have to have support and followers... without those things, your cult that you started to gain power over people will not become a religion... religions are used to make people do what others want them to do... that is the basis for religion.. they feed you a bunch of dope throughout your life telling you things are this way because God created them this way, and don't question my or his authority.. if you want answers they are in the bible.... O.K.. lets look at the redundancy of that book... it is just a book... it was written in greek then translated into latin... it has been re-translated over the years and re-released... during the middle ages, the "Catholic Church" (which baptists, methodists and all other christian forms of religion broke away from) was very corrupt... did the notion ever pop into your head that who ever was in charge then could have the bible written any way that they wanted it written, could have it say whatever they wanted it to say... think about it.. and most of all think for yourself... find out answers by doing your own research... not listening to what some other person who already has a formulated opinion about something tell you their version of the "truth".... There are 3 sides to every story... what one person said.. what one person wrote.. and what really happened... don't be a lamb being led to a slaughter... knowledge is the ultimate weapon.... use it wisely... and don't base your life on a system of beliefs.. base it on a system of ideas.. because you can change ideas... it's very hard to change beliefs..... that is what is wrong with religion... people have all these beliefs.. and if someone trys to change something, there is a war, or people are killed or excommunicated...
