See, this is why we don't allow religious discussion. Because some people cannot resist the urge to stick their middle finger up at your beliefs.

I understand. They're not just my beliefs. Government leaders are sworn in on my religious book. So if I'm delusional, or crazy, then that's very scary to think that government leaders have the same beliefs that I do.

I know that I might be wrong. I can not prove that my beliefs are correct. I don't have any hard evidence.

I'm disgusted with myself for even creating this topic.

I am one for conspiracy theories and all that but bringing in someone's beliefs is a huge no go. We don't need more bible code stories or studies of these books. You can find plenty of places for that.

Eh, relatively harmless really unless ignorant or bad people try to use it to find justification for bad things. (i.e. That "insane pastor" of another recent thread.)

But unless someone wants to get into volatile discussions they may regret later, best to leave the religion, politics,[list amendment - or he who's name should not be spoketh (Jason Biggs)] out of it.

Also, this is a little off topic but didn't you make a thread yesterday saying that you wouldn't do these kinds of topics any more?

In The Holy Bible Daniel 7:4 reads the following:

(King James Bible)
"The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it."

(New Living Translation)
"The first beast was like a lion with eagles' wings. As I watched, its wings were pulled off, and it was left standing with its two hind feet on the ground, like a human being. And it was given a human mind."


The lion represents Great Britain. The eagle represents The United States of America. The United States of America stands on its own separate from Great Britain. The "7:4" in Daniel 7:4 could be viewed as 7/4 or July 4th. The birthday for my country, as you know, is July 4th, 1776.

Remember that it is a choice to be offended (as my fellow Technodromer Leo656 said), so if you get angry about my post, you are choosing to be angry.

Not sticking up a middle finger at his beliefs at all. I just believe that the Bible is nothing more than a book of fairy tales, so that's why I said I didn't believe in any of what he posted. If he wants to believe in it, more power to him. I just choose not to believe because I feel that it's all a waste of time and a bunch of nonsense.

This sounds awfully like interpretation. Bible should be taken literally. You either understand God's word like it is, or you don't. If you don't understand it, you don't know how to be a true believer, and you don't get to the Heaven.

I think he's trying to say that certain symbols represent certain countries and that number represents the birth of America. But I just don't see that at all myself. Just a bunch of blathering to me. Reminds me of The Da Vinci Code. I think he's been reading too much of it.

Some man on TV told me that. I decided to share the information with this message board after watching TV. End of story, but yes eagle represents USA and lion represents the British.

You guys and gals are starting to turn me into an agnostic.

You are easily swayed, then.

I do not trust myself to make good choices when it comes to important topics. That's why I would never want to be a medical doctor. I have low self-esteem. I don't want to screw up.

[DarkFell]

A forum should be a lot of fun to ya dude because isn't some dark and scary pit and we're not out to get you. Heck, I've been having fun since I got here and the majority of it was just communicating with other people about all sorts of stuff.

[CyberCubed]

Thread needs to be locked.

[Jester]

You really ought to just add that to your signature, Cubed.

don't be so down on yourself that's not healthy

[Netkeeper]

There's a reason why many non-religious people hate religious people.

You want to guess why, OP?

[Powder]

Could we not do this?
