Author Topic: A letter from God. || It's a flash.  (Read 17306 times)

The video says that religion has become a tool, that nobody follows the original teachings anymore.  It claims the wars that were started in the name of god were not supposed to happen, and that god didn't hate homoloveuals.  It even says the words were misconstrued and wrongly abused.  I don't see how that could possibly be interpreted any other way.

If you have an idiotic inside joke, don't post it publicly.  Wizzeh's arguments are against Creationists and Religion, this video shows how corrupt and idiotic religion has become.

I don't see how you can watch this video and then say "THE VIDEO OBVIOUSLY SAYS THAT RELIGION IS handicapped, AND I HAVE COME TO THIS CONCLUSION FROM THESE EXCERPTS". What I got from the video is people haven't followed the teachings of the bible in the way they're supposed to.

And this is far from an inside joke.

You got the meaning, but you're really not understanding it. That's not to say that religion is dumb, for me as a Christian this video is saying "I see what this is saying, we've missed the point of what God was trying to say and accomplish all along, He's disappointed in us and we should be disappointed too, we've been missing this the entire time when we had such great potential."

 How did this video make everyone fight over "How handicapped religion is."?

 Its like telling a joke, but instead of laughing you question it and kill the joke. People are stupid and don't see what the artist intended people to see.

 Ontopic: This video is powerful in so many ways, and the animation was great. I voted 10/10.

Lol, even a decoded alien message said that there is still good out there, and we are wasting time.

So you're basically saying that the main branch of Christianity is flawless.  LOL

Yes, because the main branch has a single denomination of 12 churches in the south-eastern USA, with few other churches in other denominations such as the PCA.

You are handicapped.  Your concepts of Christianity are flawed, because you are biased, and get your information from biased sources.  You obviously participate in these religious discussions, of which you have no real valid contribution to make, only for the trolling and/or ignorant Christian-bashing.

tl;dr, get out.

 I believe the ancient script was flawless, 2000 years later is bound to make misstakes somewhere.

So your beliefs are way better than all other branches of Christianity and all of the other religions in the world?  You're a loving dumb ass.

What I got from the video is people haven't followed the teachings of the bible in the way they're supposed to.

If you don't follow your math teachings of 2 + 2 = 4, aren't you an idiot?

I was raised a Christian, I was baptized and went to church and youth group.  I get my information from scientific discoveries, which are only biased when you're a dumbass creationist that refuses to accept the scientific method and evolution.  The fact that you claim a single denomination of Christianity to be utterly perfect proves your arrogance, and your stupidity.

What I don't understand is why you atheists flaunt evolution in front of Christians and go "LOOK IT'S PROOF THAT EVERYTHING RELATED TO GOD/THE BIBLE/CHRISTIANITY IS FALSE AND YOU'RE A DUMBASS!!!!!1111!!!!!"

Why you're even bringing up evolution right now is a complete mystery to me.

Why would I bring up evolution in a religious debate with a creationist.  Hmm...

This topic is funny. =)

You didn't explain why you seem to think that evolution automatically invalidates everything to do with Christianity.

you atheists
This is the exact loving reason I feel the need to slap people like Zaran and Wizzeh, who feel the constant need to argue about religion. I cannot stand it when people push christianity on me, though I can easily see how frustrating it is when atheists push atheism on others. People like them are what the general stereotype of atheists is built upon, and why this stereotype remains. I honestly have trouble understanding why people think religion is terrible because it causes people to do things they shouldn't do but do them regardless because their religion says to do so, and then argue the forget out of everybody BECAUSE OF THEIR NON-RELIGION. The best teachers follow their own teachings

If you don't follow your math teachings of 2 + 2 = 4, aren't you an idiot?

So people who don't misinterpret the bible are idiots? I'm just confused now.

What makes Christianity superior to other religions?  Nothing.  If it could handle criticism then you wouldn't be so offended when anything does, but no religion is able to do this.

Hey There, how, how’s it going?
Long time no see.
I know I haven’t been around much lately
But…it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be
The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
So I figured I’d just leave you to it, let you be your own boss

But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have,
and it’s amazing how you’ve grown.
With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown,
And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse,
But I admit there are a few things I’m afraid have impressed me less.

So I’m writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
Although that was never what I intended,
I feel I should take my share of the blame.
All the good I tried to do was corrupted
when organised religion got into full swing,
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered

Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded
Some of the deeds committed in my name
just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began,
I just kind of put it all together
I didn’t really think out a long-term plan.

I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain
so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes
without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to
grow and in your own way space to develop

I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn’t really the creater, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homoloveuals right now: I don’t hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers

It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn’t know
when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these
problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies,
even though they were in my name

So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created you.

Gosh.

You didn't explain why you seem to think that evolution automatically invalidates everything to do with Christianity.

I never said that.  I said it as a response to a creationist who calls modern science a conspiracy and decides all scientific discoveries in the area of evolution are false.  I didn't invalidate Christianity, I said it wasn't perfect.  You misread it.

So people who don't misinterpret the bible are idiots? I'm just confused now.

I can't really put it any simpler, but I'll try.

The video says religion has been corrupted, which makes it and the people who follow it stupid.  If you somehow understand it and interpret it correctly, you're just mislead.
