Being that I do peruse Gaia once in a while, I had the misfortune of posting in this loser's thread ( http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6357396&highlight= ). Not fun. My comments are in italics.
crazyfreddypop: hi
disgruntledfemale01: who is this?
Yes, please tell me. I don't like strange people talking to me in gibberish.
crazyfreddypop: inwisible
Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have put my screen name on Gaia.
disgruntledfemale01: ah.
disgruntledfemale01: Hello.
crazyfreddypop: so you never got back to what we talking about
Maybe because 1) I can barely understand you, and 2) it wasn't all that important in the first place?
crazyfreddypop: hello to you to
disgruntledfemale01: Because I had to leave the computer and go home...
crazyfreddypop: ok but you have internet at home so the topic still stands
disgruntledfemale01: ah.
disgruntledfemale01: Well, first off, (and let me find the thread so I can remember what I'm talking about), I do not think that all Christians are the same. I want you to understand that.
Because you seem to be under the impression that I'm a bigot. Take this stand and I'll pop you one straight in the balls.
crazyfreddypop: sorry if i am intruding
You damn well better be.
disgruntledfemale01: it's okay
Actually, it's not, but since I was raised to be polite...
disgruntledfemale01: My problem with Christianity is not in its message, but in the attitudes and history of its followers.
crazyfreddypop: but you seemed like a someone worthy talkinhg to
Is that supposed to be a compliment? I'm afraid that, coming from you, it's more of an insult.
disgruntledfemale01: aah
disgruntledfemale01: thank you
crazyfreddypop: the history? do you mean from the bible or of modern day?
disgruntledfemale01: Modern day. No matter how repentant, I don't think I can be a part of a group who murdered millions over a span of roughly 2000 years in the name of a peaceful deity.
disgruntledfemale01: Especially since a lot of their more zealous members have a tendency to get downright violent when someone disagrees with them.
Like members of my family.
crazyfreddypop: murdered wow this is a first well christain i know wouldnt murdered a ant and that is for real some christain pretend to be doing the right thing in front of other christans but truely are doing things for there own motives and are only after there own selfish desires thats why the bible says you will know them by there works :)
Like the guys who blew up abortion clinics?
disgruntledfemale01: Ah... I urge you to take a humanities class, if you ever have the opportunity. During the Inquisition and the Crusades, people really believed that what they were doing, which was in essence murder, was sanctioned by God and therefore almost a guarantee of getting into heaven, or at least having your sentence to Purgatory shortened. The Church pretty much controlled the population.
In other words, research history, idiot.
disgruntledfemale01: I don't have a problem with Christians who are Christians because of the overall message, and do not go along with the church simply because it's the church. I'm not saying that that's what a real Christian is, but when people think for themselves and can come to a conclusion without being coerced and cajoled by the people entrusted with their salvation, it's easier for me, at least, to agree with them.
crazyfreddypop: ok nice but where they real christain not catholics or greek or jew but christains. there is a differce by someone calling them selves a christain and someone living chritains life.
Last time I heard, Catholics ARE real Christians. I don't believe Baptists, Protestants, and born-agains were around back then, not to mention any other denomination.
crazyfreddypop: christain are just humans search and learning to do Gods will and also try so show the world that there is joy in all good things and bad things that happen.
Don't try to tell me there's joy in the crap you call typing. Jesus wouldn't be able to understand you if he learned English, 1337speak and AOHeller.
disgruntledfemale01: How do you define a Christian, then?
crazyfreddypop: well i will try to use my self as example. I try by liveing each day the way Jesus would witch most christains do a burst of joy the lights up my day how can i be mean or rude to any body when i have been saved for a reason we live by meany rules but by one that keeps up from defying God that is that he loved us first that why he Son died and it is though love that we live i daily lives how can you go wrong with love in your life even when thing go wrong and you so called life breaks down knowing that there is still hope for the next day. One more thing to judge the next person ihave know right for God will judge me so what you believe and how you believe is your choice as long as i try to show you love and compastion and help you in the right direction.
You think Jesus would save me from your run-on sentences?
disgruntledfemale01: But people interpret Jesus in different ways. Some people really believe that by spreading bigotry and blindly following what other people tell them to do in the name of God, that they are doing what Jesus would do. And I don't believe that.
crazyfreddypop: like i said there fakes out there but will alway find a real christrain that will guid you with a true heart do think us talking know is coincidence think about it have you ever thought of your self in a relactionship with God or Jesus
Oh fuck no. You are NOT trying to "subtly" convert me.
disgruntledfemale01: I have, actually. I don't deny that Jesus was a great teacher and taught many good principles, but there are some things that I just don't agree with, and because of that I wouldn't be a good Christian.
crazyfreddypop: knot that i am trying to change you but just pionting out the things that happen with out you realising
Like the fact that the world is slowly becoming stupider, even as we speak?
disgruntledfemale01: Jesus and I have an understanding. He doesn't try to convert me, I give him a good word every now and then.
Yes, I am Jesus' REAL publicity bitch. Watch the agnostic tell ya that Jesus is someone you SHOULD be following -- as long as you take the teachings with a grain of salt.
crazyfreddypop: do you think i am a perfect christain No way but i know my falts and try to inprove on them every day i have fallen from grace many times but been saved by mercy witch is for every body
disgruntledfemale01: You don't get it.
disgruntledfemale01: I don't have a problem with the religion itself. I think that parts of it are a good goal, and that parts of it are not something I can go along with.
disgruntledfemale01: But some, in fact a large number, of Christians act in such a manner that I just don't want to be associated with the group. Whether they're real Christians or not.
disgruntledfemale01: It has nothing to do with me believing or not.
crazyfreddypop: i understand then dont find some other christain groups or minstery it's up to you what you want and how you intend on geting it choice only you can make i was a fraid if the very church i know belong to they seemed to be forcing me to go into preaching and i was afriad me i am only 20 where can i preach and give sevices i still dont but i do run our youth program witch give me joy to see younge kids finding out what God can do there life not by force by just haveing fun experiencing Jesus God has called us for a reason for small or big jobys
I'm hoping Todd wasn't like this when he finally converted.
crazyfreddypop: sorry for the spellin i am at work trying to typ fast and work at the same time
Must not be a very high-paying, important job for you to fuck around like that at work...
disgruntledfemale01: aaah
disgruntledfemale01: Then maybe you should have waited until you got home to IM me?
crazyfreddypop: do have internet at home unfortunatly
What, your internet at home likes to bite your ass?
disgruntledfemale01: ah.
crazyfreddypop: are you still going to be online for a wile have to go some where would you like to chat more later ?O:-)
disgruntledfemale01: I'm on for a couple mor hoursr
crazyfreddypop: sure i will be back in 40 min bye

*takes coughdrop* Dude, why is it that the overly religious can't accept that not everyone sees their point of view? It may well be right for them but it isn't for everyone!
