    YEA I remember being taught as a kid, that telling a little white lie is as bad as killing a human. so um can a murder use this argument in a court of law
    ha ha ha
    sorry

  2. there is no such thing as a little white lie, a lie is a lie. the court of law is beyond the scope of what i was talking about so i wont comment... this is my last comment on this topic. cya all

    hmm.. I'm not a Christian myself.. neither am I a strict religion follower, so I'm pretty much neutral towards Christians who dun follow their religion strictly. In fact, I admire those who have really given it much tot rather than those who follow blindly.

    I'm not sure about what Christians believe, but to me, religion is not about following the rules/ customs/ rituals whatever you call it.

    Religion is personal and 'spiritual'. The word is used rather losely here as it can have a different meaning to different people. The point is, those physical acts are not important. They were created by people who believe that those practices represent/ express/ enhance their faith. But when replicated onto others, the very same act may not have the same meaning. What it means to you... is what I think is important

    This type of open minded Christians are not welcome in society.

    Religion is wrong and bias.
     
  13. religion is the foundation of all humanity. so it has a place in all of us, however, the practice of speaking with god is what some people do not wish to follow.
