I do not admit I have done evil

I asked if you'd ever done any wrong thing in your life, and you answered, "I surely have", so I took that to be a Yes. Do you genuinely believe that you've never done any evil in your life?

Define evil. Define wrong. They may not necessarily be the same. It's in fact one of the fundamental flaws of christianity (as well of the other faiths of the book), imo. You've done wrong became you are evil, and you must repent to redeem yourself.

Christianity is like communism in that regard, may look great on paper but hasn't but sporadically and incidentally worked in practice.

Define 'God'. Define 'Christianity'. Define 'define'.

I didn't mention God. You define it for me.

Christianity: the religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices, examplified by the copy pastas Lejend has been posting ITT.

Definition: a statement explaining the meaning of a word.

God: Dolan

haha yea, I remember that, but as Paul grew up, he became much more peaceful and no longer wanted to uppercut Santa. He was a feisty fella though, real grit. Must've gotten that from his mother.

An interesting episode about the futility of taking pride in your devoutness. In reality, we deny Jesus every time we sin or hide our faith out of shame or fear.

The Apostle Peter's three denials of Christ

Luke 22 & Matthew 26

A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”

Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”

But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”

“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.

After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”

Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”

Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

please let the light of humanity in, that we treat every human, as a human, and the world we live in, as a planet that is worth saving. This is my religion.
The light of science, and knowledge is my guiding star

Emil Brunner once wrote that man worships either God or an idol, but he worships. There's no escape from religion; our only choice is between true and false religion, and true religion consists in rendering God the worship due to him as the source of all being. I'd ask you to consider whether it's more proper to worship the created and finite (like man, or nature, or science, or ideology) than the Uncreated Creator who is the ground of all being.

Do you think you are brainwashed @lejend ?

[lejend]

I don't know what you're asking @Snuden.

[Snuden]

I'm asking if you think that you have been brainwashed into this Christian nonsense.

[lejend]

I don't think so, bro.

Or is it the result of you using sound judgement and logic?

For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
To those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

I am guilty of gluttony, and I am ashamed.

Some months ago I played a series of 2v2 games with a player way above my skill level and vs players also much better than me.
We won all of our games and things were going well.

However in one particular game we went for a treasure and my mate lost his explorer, he then wrote "I am going to alt d and get it"
I replied with a "21" and we went on to win the game.

I went from MS to 2nd lt and was basically just waiting for Hazza to invite me to 35 and up 2v2 games.

I have already received my punishment in form of being ridiculed by 5 30+ players.
My mate had vouched for me to get me into a 3v3 on Deccan with a bunch of Lt Colonels. In my eagerness to do well, I totally forgot to make army and my team lost in 6 minutes.

I'll never do it again!

I don't think you can reason your way into Christianity. At most, you could discover via reason that Christianity is true, but actually becoming a Christian, that's a transrational choice, rooted in love and trust, not intellectual assent to a theological proposition or a fact of history.

I'll make my own corner and respond there.
