RE: Church of Reality
This just seems like a cult, tbh.
I'm a Christian and I like faith, I prefer to not think of it as religion more of having faith and trying to live under grace and follow the teachings and be close to Jesus. The whole helping those who need help was one of the reasons I actually enjoy helping people out here

I have to agree there, I'm not a devout catholic, but at the same time I am dedicated to my religion and respect every religion out there...
I've already said it seems like a cult in my first post  ... but yea, there are some cults that are mass, and are pretty much religions, if they mean well then its okay, and I respect that, but if they disrespect other religions and are blasphemous etc. then its just completely rude...

RE: Church of Reality
How can you insist that its not real, a lot of the stuff isn't just belief and made up, there is evidence that jesus was real and stuff... I've read through, but its stupid, how can you make something reality when what you are trying to prevent is apparently not real, surely trying to forget that is being unrealistic...

RE: Church of Reality
lol leo very funny. i think most people will agree that jesus did exist as it seems hard to believe that the people who wrote the new testemant actually all got together to make someone up. its just the walking through walls bit that didnt happen. lets face it the bible is a work of fiction and god doesnt exist and people seem to only have religion so that they dont have to worry about what happens when they die. (if you didnt know you just decompose in the ground and thats it ..... nothing else)

Yeah, those people did exist. But the bible and other books were originally done as a politic thing against the Romans and later got translated very, very bad, and over and over again, and stuff was made up to cover the bad or lost pieces... And that's how today millions of people believe in a very crappy translation.

O.P. RE: Church of Reality
It's not just that, Leo, it's also that the there are a lot of religious books, but it was decided that some *are* holy, and others are not. Which is just completely stupid. This page features some nice questions to Christians: http://www.churchofreality.org/opinion/christian-reality.htm
- Do you believe that the Bible is the word of God, that it has been accurately preserved through the ages, and that everything it says is true?
- There are thousands of denominations of Christians. Why do you believe that your denomination is the best one - if you believe that - and can it be improved?
- If you realized that a different denomination of Christianity were more accurate than the one you are currently a member of - would you change religions?
- Do you consider yourself to be one of the "chosen ones"?
- Do you really think that everyone else who isn't a Christian is really going to burn in Hell forever?
- Do you think that Armageddon will occur in your lifetime?
Also, I ask all Christians: Why doesn't God come out of hiding? I mean, in the bible it's very clear he can do all sorts of super-natural things.. If he would show up and do some of these super-natural things, for everyone to see, I would believe in God.
