Yes, it is.
...... I was the one who said that no one knew when He was born and then you said:
Quote:
As I recall learning in my World Religions class, somewhere contained within the Bible it says that Jesus was born sometime in April.
And now you're saying no one really knows? I know they didn't have birth certificates. Heck, Jews didn't even celebrate birthdays. So they had no reason to keep track of that. I was asking why there was speculation if the bible specifically said it was in April, and where in the bible it says that date.
And "people who use the teachings from the pope/their interpretation of the bible to behave badly" is still a discredit to person, and not to the bible or the pope. And it's true that you don't need religious drive to do good, but you don't need religious drive to do evil either. You look at the evil people who are religious and say that religion is to blame. You look at the good people who are religious and say that they would have been good anyway. Ever think that the opposite might actually be the case? And I think Mother Teresa was indeed inspired by her faith.
“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” ― Mother Teresa
And there is no way to prove she would have lived the way she did if she wasn't.
You're bothered by blow-up things...? And I don't like how early they put stuff up either, but there's a reason for that. All that merchandise is stored at a warehouse and the store has to pay to keep it there. So as soon as the last holiday is over, they get that stuff outta there pronto. As soon as the 4th of July is over, Back to School stuff is set up. As soon as school starts, the store's filled with Halloween, etc. etc. And I'm sorry all the fancy santas and lights and reindeer and snowmen and carols bother you, but it's kind of part of our culture. There's no escaping it, so there's no point giving yourself a headache getting worked up over it.
I was saying that is what I recalled learning. When I brought that up, my point was about how that, as I was informed, Jesus's birthday was not Dec 24/25. And that, if it is in thee bible as I had been told, then the bible is contradicting itself in a major way within its own pages. I shouldn't have even brought that up, since it has caused so much miscommunication.
Yes. That is true, but so is the fact that the "bad behavior caused by religion" I perceive is not just the going out and killing in the name of God kind. But again, what I am really trying to explain/say is not as apparent as I had hoped it to be. I consider being blinded by the rule of others and the teachings of someone else to the point that you cannot use logic/see logic to be just as bad as anything else. In the interest of not continuing to screw up explaining my thoughts/reasons/etc, which I have been, so far, doing a masterful job of, I will not get into that.
And to be frank, I find that most people are "evil", not because they do bad things, but because they cannot think. But again, this is another can of worms I will avoid opening, because I know very well that most anyone who I might explain that to will not understand how I mean it and think me a horrible monster. Most of my ideas, which are based on logical reasoning and sometimes some science, the understanding of why most everyone else wouldn't think like I do/understand why I think like that, would cause that same reaction. I have always known this and usually try to not tell them to anyone who I know would get extremely offended by my thoughts, ideas and understandings, because it would just cause issues. Which, it has here.
"Good" and "Evil" exist in everything. Religion, science, the weather. It cannot be escaped.
And, as many people have said before, you cannot prove even that. Because Death is the only journey no one has come back from to tell us what it was like.
No, it was an example. I am bothered by the sheer quantity of christmas stuff that is all over during xmas and the months leading up to it. I know and understand the reason why it is like that, but it does not mean I have to like it. I understand that the retail stores are most interested in having as much stock out as possible and getting as many people to come through their doors as is possible. And it's not like I try to give myself a head ache over it. In fact, I try my hardest to ignore all of it and am unable to, because of it being such a large part of our culture and therefor inescapable. Even in my house....my sister plays xmas music practically non stop once thanksgiving is over.... There are other holidays that grate on me in much the same way, but since they are not a everywhere as christmas, it's easier to escape it.
I apologize if I have managed to anger and annoy you. I have not been doing a good job of properly stating and wording things to convey the proper meaning. That is entirely my fault and I hope you will forgive me for it.
Sorry, Seiji.
No such date is in the bible and I am baffled as to where your teacher got that notion. I intended that question to be rhetorical, but apparently was misunderstood.
I assumed you meant any kind of bad behavior. But actually by “bad behavior” you meant “being a ******** idiot.” Wish you’d have said so in the first place. And as a Catholic, I’ve been taught not to just blindly believe my faith. We are encouraged to question our faith and seek answers, to be analytical and thoughtful about what we believe. Though I may have believed based on say so when I was younger, now that I’m older, my beliefs are backed up by logic as well as science.
And okay… I’m not exactly sure why you even brought up that can of worms if you didn’t want to open it. Kind of illogical. But I’d rather not open it either.
Yes. Good and evil do exist everywhere, which is what I was trying to say earlier when I said that “there are cowards and offenders as well as saints and heroes in every religion or organization.” Glad we can agree on something.
And I was not trying to prove the veracity of the quote itself. I was trying to demonstrate through the quote that Mother Teresa was inspired by her faith to do good works. Again, I was misunderstood.
And okay, that’s fine. You don’t have to like it. So long as you don’t speak ill of the people who do like it.
It’s fine. Apparently, I haven’t been clear enough either. And I’m sorry for causing further confusion.
Being bored, I went looking for online tests to see what they would say I am if I were a mythical creature.
So far, I've gotten: Vampire
Mermaid: You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.
and this one, which was the most detailed. and very fascinating.
For 28 % you are: Ranger, or Huntress Have you ever heard of Artemis? You follow her footsteps, my friend. Cool, and collected, you don't really see the point in relationships, and prefer to distance yourself from people. Open up a little, let some sunshine through the branches in the forest. % of Quiz participants had this profile!
You could also get this result: For 28 % you are: Good Witch/Wizard.
You are kind and compassionate, always thinking of others, and fitting in perfectly. Your magic is water based, and you yourself are either an advisor to a king or queen, or an important figure yourself. You aren't QUITE sure of who you are, but in time you will learn. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and protect the ones you love.
Or even this one: For 22 % you are: Divine.
You are ALL POWERFUL! People KNOW you are wise, and a natural leader. You choose not to throw in your lot before you have assessed everything logically, and come to the correct conclusion. Try being wild and impulsive, you might like it!
Or even this one: For 11 % you are: Siren.
Naughty! You are COMPLETELY comfortable with what you are, and snare unwary men and women with your beautiful voice. You aren't afraid to speak your mind, and don't really care if some people regard you with envy or disgust or whatever. Keep yourself out of trouble, and settle down at some time!
Or even this one: For 11 % you are: Dark Elf
You love the dark and mysterious, and don't mind indulging yourself. You're powerful, and well aware of it. Ego problems sometimes are...well, problems, but who cares? You and I are alike. Embrace the dark side and live life to the fullest, aware and comfortable with who you are.
I also took one on what kind of monster you are and the result was dead on (alien), because I've said that about myself years. (description is this: Alien: You're so strange, people occasionally wonder if you're from another world. You don't try to be different, but you see most things from a very unique, very offbeat perspective. Brilliant to the point of genius, you definitely have some advanced intelligence going on. No matter what circles you travel in, you always feel like a stranger. And it's a feeling you've learned to like.
Your greatest power: Your superhuman brain
Your greatest weakness: Your lack of empathy - you just don't get humans
You play well with: Zombies)
My super villain name is apparently Black Falcon (which is super awesome sounding, actually)
Plus one about my "halloween personality".....which is a lot like my NORMAL personality(except for the naughty bit. I know I'm not that naughty. I am waaaaaay more of a modest person. Pants and long sleeves FTW), interestingly enough..... [spolier]You are an outgoing person who's a bit of a showoff. It's likely that you dress up for Halloween every year.
You like to think of yourself as naughty. But compared to most people, you're actually quite mild.
Your inner child is bittersweet, thoughtful, and never too greedy.
You fear those closest to you finding out who you really are. You dread people discovering your secrets.
You're prone to be quite emotional and over dramatic. Deep down, you enjoy being scared out of your mind... even if you don't admit it.
You are unique, expressive, and a trendsetter. Your ideal Halloween costume is over the top and one of a kind.[/spoiler
and one about what gender my brain is... 60% female, 40% male
Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve
And one about which Egyptian Goddess I'd be: Hathor
You are vivacious and high-spirited. You take a breezy approach to living your life. You dance through life. You see everything in terms of possibilities.
You are joyfully curious about the world. There's so much to explore and learn. You connect to people from all walks of life. You're always thrilled to meet someone new.
My kind of book.....god, I have just gotten sucked in to taking these tests, haven't I?
Dreamer
You tend to have your head in the clouds. You love to be drawn in to a whole other world.
You are a rational person. You like to think through ideas, and you like the thoughts that books spark.
You are a person with a few deep interests. If you're drawn to something, you learn everything about it.
You are a person who values your possessions. You tend to have fewer things but of higher quality.
Dominant or doormat:
Delight
You are easy to get along with and easy to be with, but you're definitely not a doormat. You'll cheerfully ask for what you want, and you're almost always ready to compromise.
You are comfortable speaking your mind, and you're also willing to admit you may not be right. You know how to work well with others. You can bend in the wind, but you don't break.
Personality cluster:
You are a true wordsmith and a master of words. You are original, spontaneous, and a true inspiration. Highly energetic, you are up for any challenge. You are entertaining and engaging... both to friends and strangers
((yes, I was that bored.))
I realized....I have to go do the Harvard implicit test....crap. *goes and does*
Which told me stuff about my preferences that I already knew. huh. Guess I know myself pretty well.

I like cats. They use the litter box, their good sleeping buddies.
^^'
Problem is the claws. When their sleeping between your legs, dig in. At your weak spot. That spot we care about deeply.
Oh, I know. Thankfully, this little guy will be a great sleeping companion, once he's older. Just...today, stuff has made puppy-cute-powers rather moot....
That is just painful. Ouch.
^^'
For guys. Yes.
Which is why I am so glad I'm not a guy.
^^
You are very lucky. You lady's don't have that weakness.
Yep! Though I'd still prefer being a guy at times.... Just to avoid the idiotic female stereotypes. I actually like the male stereotypes better. But then again, I'm weird like that.
*sigh* i think i'm homesick. never really been badly homesick before. perhaps watching the doctor who christmas special from last year all about family and homecoming was a bad idea. (i was homesick before, this just made it worse)

emotion_hug i don't knowwww. this is my second year in college. i shouldn't be.
perhaps it is the time of the year? I feel horrible tired like...dogs keep me up all night...
maybe? i might be seeing my parents this weekend (there had been vague plans, haven't heard much recently, so probably but not certain)

*realizes she has been/is a huge fail*
I have no idea where he got that information, other than by reading the bible.....might have read something that implied a season or time of year and interpreted it to mean April. And I had no idea it was a rhetorical question....I tend to not realize when people ask those, unless they're painfully obvious.
Yeah....see, I thought it was apparent I'd meant "being a flipping idiot"...and now I definitely know it wasn't. Sorry about that. And good. Being homeschooled, the main resources I had were religious homeschooling groups.....and the one I was tied to....well.........they were more of the "believe blindly" kind....and it was really annoying. *had no real choice in having to deal with them....basically the only way I was able to do more theater than random acting classes here and there*
.....oh, right....I brought it up because I tend to explain why I don't bring something up, by giving a short explanation of said thing I don't want to bring up.....It's how my brain works...I've spent so much time having to explain myself...I just do it naturally....and yeah, it is illogical. Sorry....>_<;;
.....and thusly my inability to realize things (such as rhetorical questions, what people really mean, etc) like that because of asperger's rears its head....
...........*see above paragraph*.....>_<;; I completely....wow. I am so sorry, Seiji....
I try. Usually I just keep it inside, or complain about it to my mother, because she can handle me doing that. There're just sometimes that I cannot keep lid on things....because were I to do so, I'd implode or explode, depending....and I do like a good debate. Though I really need to work on noticing rhetorical questions and being very clear in exactly how I mean something. Because I tend to be highly specific about what I mean, like with the "being a flipping idiot" rather than "bad behavior in general".
I think you've been very clear. I just so happen to be quite good at thinking someone is talking to/about one point and really, they're talking about another...
And whether or not it is fine....I feel awful that I managed to screw up, in my opinion, so horribly and cause such an issue. I will try to do whatever I can to rectify my mistake, starting by doubly making sure that whatever I post is definitely what I mean and that I will try to, if I manage to fail at it again, which is likely, being quicker to ask what it is thought that I mean.
Besides, I am basically made of confusion....so, really it's not your fault Seiji. .....apology accepted. *said this because I can't figure out a better way to imply that it is fine and to not worry, such that satisfies me....>_<;;*

Neh, no Twilight vamps at least... But in Nanzzy's case, any vampire is bad lol So I went with the Dark Elfs because I always thought they're cool emotion_awesome
Let one of my mules pick the vamp side though, and as it turns out the vamp badge is way cooler... and soulbound emotion_donotwant
