I don't think it's upright in them to burn that which is not Christian, true Christians keep an open mind towards all religion, but stay true to Christianity. I think that they just might be a cult, though they claim they're not. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted February 28, 2003 They certainly sound like a dangerous bunch of nutters, regardless of whether or not they are a cult. They might just be pyromaniacs. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted February 28, 2003 Sounds like a cult or some messed up Christians to me. 0 Share this post Link to post

niguel Posted February 28, 2003 i think that he meant that the new members burn their OWN possessions that are not christian. aren't cults kind of "unofficial" organizations, so i think they are a cult... 0 Share this post Link to post

Gokuma Posted February 28, 2003 Tell them they're not really Christians so they burn themselves. If you need help convincing them just tell them about how the Bible is all rescripted with lots of bastardization and even the original contains errors. Paul had a couple King Herold's mixed up and based Jesus's birth year partly on their reigns resulting in that being off by four years (1996 would have been his 2000th birthday). A good one to three fourths of the Bible are omitted because they were just written by some sect of Christians to attack another sect. And all the depictions of Jesus as a tall white guy with long hair are wrong. He was short dark skinned Middle Eastern Semite with short dark curly hair and the painting of black Jesus is actually a bit closer. Just explain that stuff to them and hopefully they'll light themselves up pretty quick regardless of your or my beliefs or lack thereof. major source of info: some recent 2002 issue of Popular Mechanics, November or December maybe 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted February 28, 2003 We had those at our school. Fortunately, they didn't burn shit. They just stood around the flagpole while we sat there and made fun of them. Boy, those were the days. 0 Share this post Link to post

Goat Posted February 28, 2003 our school has Young Life. i havent heard of them burning shit, but they gather about twice a month (every other thursday) at one guys farm place. they photocopy a TON of invitations, about 800 or so, and some YL members give them out to EVERYBODY they see. they are all nice, so i take the invitation (it is a piece of paper with a bunch of random shit on it, quotes jokes etc, and then a map to the place) and kindly go about my business. i dont go, im atheist. i live in georgia, so theyre all a bunch of hicks and all, and this IS the bible belt region, so 99.9 percent of my school is christian, and i know for a fact that a lot of people go to this thing. as far as i can tell, its just a friendly gathering of people to talk and hang out. no burning shit from what ive heard, but a while back they did have a gallon-of-milk chugging contest. i heard it didnt go to well.... 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted March 1, 2003 Suddenly, I wish the English had wiped out all the puritans and let none of them flee to America. Think about how much better the States would be without those Christian fanatic assholes. /Me goes and sharpens his machete 0 Share this post Link to post

According to Hong Xiuquan, god has a long beard, a black robe and wears a hat. And the younger brother of Jesus couldn't be wrong could he? Poor Chinese and their poorly translated copies of the Bible. Good thing the Taiping pissed off the British and the British helped the Qing kick their ass... 0 Share this post Link to post

Gokuma Posted March 1, 2003 I wasn't really talking about any god. Whether people believe in Jesus as a saviour or not, historically the man existed and he wasn't a tall white guy with long hair. 0 Share this post Link to post
