Christanity
    #1888114 - 09/06/03 09:31 AM (20 years, 6 months ago)

This was one of my replies to a discussion in OTD. Sorry to drag OTD into this forum but I think I made fairly good points. The situation was a few members of the shroomery joined a christian forum and they banned everyone of us in under ten mins. BTW no mentions of drug use or direct blasphamny, harassment, or explicit language was used.

FROM OTD:

What I don't understand is why they completly terminate you, if you post any diffrence of opnion, just think if a christian came here and started to post how he thought drugs are bad and tried to help convert our souls, I don't think the mods. here would ban him in under ten minutes. Drug users have more open minds, and if someone dosn't agree so be, it's good to debate topics. This further proves that christianity is brainwashing bullshit. They are afraid I might make some of there members question there faith, and realize the how the bible contridicts itself in many ways, and no they can't have that, it's there way or the highway bitch, and if you don't like it they tell you to fuck off. If they truly had complete faith in god they would have no problem debating theroy with me, but instead they just ban me. I believe that is very cult like, to seperate yourself for everyone who disagrees with you, and label them as infidels that will be damned in hell for eternity. What a load of shit I think. Thats what I meant by weak minded B_O_9, my post were not directed at any group of followers as you stated earlier. We are not as close minded. I have friends that don't use drugs, and I don't pressure them to do drugs, actually thats cool that they do their own thing. But christian are directed not to associate themselves with non-believes and if they do it is there duty to make them follow there ways. Do you see my point now?

And here was an e-mail I sent to them asking why I was banned:

I mean sure everyone has there diffrence of opnions, thats what forums are for. As a fellow christian you should welcome others with open arms, even if there opnions differ from yours. I have been registered for less than ten minutes and you disable my account? The bible teachs to witness to all, not block everyone that has slightly diffrent opnions than others. I just want to be at a place with my fellow brothers and sisters in the lord and you closed the door in my face. I do not believe jesus would turn away anyone and I don't think your setting a good example for a christain site. Please respect my diffrent point of views and let me continue to be part of your wonderful community.
May the lord have mercy on your soul.

I am not a christian myself, but found it intersting to debate these topic, with the believer, but instad of debating they just ban me. I think this is rediculious, and would love to here your opnions on this matter. The point of this is not to start a religious flame war, I was just instred in other opnions on how they handled that situation.

So, what did they send back to you?

A few Christians really have their own beliefs and are not afraid of others beliefs, but most are completely close-minded and so forth.. this just goes to show..
Peace.

They never replied and went so far as to block all of my e-mails too. I was actually in a good meaningfull conversation with one of them then a mod, killed my account. My post was on the etchics of masturbation, and was asking if god considered self gratification a sin. I didn't say "yeah I fucking jack my dick 2x a day is this wrong?" It was very easy going post, no immaturity was in it, it was a valid question. In the bible it says nowhere thou shall not flog the dolphin every now and again, and alot of christians say it's wrong. All I was asking for was refrence to a bible verse that said it was wrong, though I counld care less, I thought I'd give those bible thumpers some home work.

well, don't speak for everyone because i was not banned. probably because i didn't insult them, i just engaged in respectful discourse about a meaningful topic. we are currently still debating it. its titled "War" in the Morality and Ethics section.

How did you identify yourself - as Alchemist ? (I'm a Christian, and my car [which finally died yesterday] has a license plate that reads ALCHEMY, but it sounds heretical to lots of people, or magickal). Did you do a spelling/grammatical error check? Lots of very uptight, prissy people will simply ignore your post and think you're sloppy or stupid because they can't read the intention behind the surface imperfections. You told them you were not a Christian, and that you wanted to debate. In classical times, such debates were called 'apologias,' and engaged the greatest philosophical minds of the day like the pagan philosopher Plotinus whose work influenced much of Catholic Christianity. Today however, you'd just be an unlettered upstart that those mods don't have the patience to deal with. They probably just want to luxuriate in their own little bubble of smug like-believers, feeling superior to everyone and falsely believing that they are God's chosen people while everyone else is damned.

BTW - This is not what real Christians are like, no matter how well they attempt to identify themselves as Christians. The KKK call themselves a White Christian Fraternal Organization, and their insignia contains 'a drop of Christ's blood' inside a Maltese cross. Crosses are not burned, they are 'illuminated.' There is not anything Christian about KKK hatemongers. There is little that is Christian about lazy, selfish, self-proclaimed 'Christians' like the ones you were dissed by. Forgetaboutit.

So, is there a biblical verse? :grin:

I no longer do it, in the interest of actually taking effort into finding a girl..

It was also basically a form of an addiction, I guess, and it is all about the strength of mind. So, like yeah, anyways... hehe

there are actually forums for 'apologetics', where people pose questions debating various things about christian beliefs, along with chatrooms and websites devoted to such debates. personally i think you'd be better off finding one of these than crashing a forum just to fuck with people. or maybe that wasnt you, maybe that was somebody else, but i remember somebody went out of their way to crash a christian forum and make an ass of themselves. either way, theres a place for questions about shit like that.

I didn't go in there with 'alchemist' as a title or anything else drug related for that matter. I didn't say I do not belive in god or his teachings, I just wanted to slowly fit in then start questioning there beliefs, not attacking them, just showing them a diifrent side of things. I used proper grammar and everything, it seems they need to protect there impressionable minds, form hearing anything deamed slightly off the beaten path, like they are afraid I would show a diffrent side of things, and make them question the integerity of there relegion. I think if they were truly devoted and faithful to there beliefs they would have no problem debating with me.

Well, I wasn't there, but normalcy is never determined by mere numbers. Look at Nazi Germany. A vast majority either joined or supported the Third Reich. Relative to the rest of the world, Nazi Germany was as psychopathic as humanity can become, yet they were a statistical 'norm.'

Real Christians may not be as few as the Enlightened beings that Buddhism cynically affirms (when my '90 Miata's transmission seized yesterday in the right exit turn lane, and I couldn't even roll or push it onto the shoulder, a semi-literate Haitian man stopped and offered me his cell phone, which was great since I don't have one (yet). I offered to send him a check out of gratitude, but he said that his reward was a heavenly one from Jesus, and refused to accept payment. This kind of thing has happened before - non-acceptance of money and driving on to phone assistance to me from a pay phone, from a guy who pulled over at night by the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel with a joint and a beer - on All Saints Day!) People like this are a blessing when they appear, and their perfect altruism is the mark of God's Compassion in them, whether they know it or not. These are the kind of human beings through which Christ operates, and who are immediate answers to my own prayers, howsoever mundane this may sound. Superiority-loving people who call themselves Christians may not be Klansman or Nazis, but ontologically speaking, they are not Christians either. They are arrogant a**holes who think that being a Christian is cool, or perhaps 'The Way' [to be], which it is IMHO, but they affirm it for the wrong reasons. They only talk 'about' it, they do not embody and live it.

Christianity has a good side. At one time it was a religion which promoted compassion and tolerance, love for our neighbours and such things. Over time, Christian mythology began to degrade. These days, many children have to stifle their chuckles when they're told of golden streets and pearly gates. Square peg, round hole. People change.

I believe that humans today are certainly more complex creatures than 2000 years ago when Christ walked. Christianity, which has had it's stranglehold on the civilized world now for hundreds of years, can no longer accomodate the weight of basic human awareness. Christian myths are becoming a bit more like fairy tales in the public eye. Even some clerics will tell you that it's not about heaven and hell, God and Satan or any such things, only about leading an ethically sound life.

If being a Christian to you means following the teachings of Christ, then you command from myself and others only the most utmost respect.

Many Christians, though, call themselves such because they have put stock in the concepts of angels and demons, dark spirts and trumpets. These are some of the most paranoid people around. You can see with your eyes how much they struggle to keep it together. Clearly, there is some deeper essence of themselves which refuses to accept these ideas. There are a few of these people in my life. They smoke a lot of cigarettes.

And so when it comes to our conduct with Christians, it's not fair to lump them into one category. Granted, Christianity as a whole has exerted what many would agree with to be a very negative influence on our growth and development as a race. This has nothing to do with Jesus or the Church, and everything to do with the self-serving sociopaths whom have seized control of both. Had it not been Christianity that became warped and convoluted as a means of confining population sects into habits motivated by fear, it would have been another faith. Thankfully, this one is losing a lot of ground every day.

My opinions.

You'll get no argument from me, BUT...the myths of Christianity are archetypal - they are rooted in the very warp and woof of the human psyche: the birth of consciousness from the unconscious maternal-material-matrix (Adam & Eve); Good and Evil; mortality/immortality; space-time/Infinity-Eternity; Transcendence; suffering; meaning; self-sacrifice/love, etc., etc.

I'll tell you this - you don't pull down a 19th century, turretted, Victorian mansion with stained glass windows and multiple carved mantlepieces in order to build a 7-11. The archetypal forms of Christianity are alive and well, but the moronic, multi-tasking-cell-phone-yapping-narcissistic-anti-intellectual people who have come to populate the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave refuse to find this treasure in themselves. They are like the adolescent idiots who do B&E's in Miami, stealing a VCR or a TV and leaving a 19th century Tibetan-Nepalese bronze sitting there. The "public eye" as you put it is corrupted with cataracts and astigmatisms - there are areas of darkness and areas of distortion. The masses gorge themselves on cheap, toxic excuses for food, making themselves ill in the process. Do they know or care about what they're doing to themselves? If you don't care about yourself ('Love thy neighbor as thyself') how the hell would anyone expect them to care about anyone else - society? If you can't feed your body or mind properly, how can spiritual food even come under consideration?

I want to refurbish Christianity, but I wish to do so humbly, only within the edifice of my own personhood. I have no grandiose dreams of reformation, or the formation of my own church (or cult). The world IS going to Hell just as it has been prophesied. It has gone to Hell before in days ancient (Roman Empire) and modern (Nazism, USSR). I am attempting to be 'in the world' without being 'of the world,' and when I have to identify myself to someone as a Christian, I do so with trepidation - not because I am ashamed, but because I really do not want to be immediately misunderstood and misidentified, and treated accordingly.

I think there are alot of politics and ego involved in all religious interpretations, and how they passdown beleifs etc...

there are quite a bit of variations of the bible, some contredicting each other...

"Ped" Said: "Christianity has a good side. At one time it was a religion which promoted compassion and tolerance, love for our neighbours and such things. Over time, Christian mythology began to degrade."

I totally agree... The christian "Crusades" where they went abroad to slaughter anyone non-christian is very far from Jesuses teaching of loving thy neighbor, not judging, compassion, wisdom, etc.

I beleive all religions and spiritual worship have the same intentions of compassion, love and wisdom... they say you become what you worship...so all of the deity's and saints represent truth to the people...

when you do alot of reading on Christianity, Hinduism, the koran, tibetan teachings and buddhism.... You see strikingly similar teachings, within all of them... I've found that decyphering out the B.S. is easy when you compare the teachings of saints and whatnot to words out of a bible... some people take snipits out of context, from the bible to twist it to better fit them... But you know that Jesus did not want anyone to lead "Crusades" when he talks only about selfless compassion towards all

so in conclusion I dance around the aboriginal holy fire and offer a sacred bundle to the yagna while bowing to the cross, om, star of david, and all religious symbols devized out of love & light.

I meant not to focus on the positive side of Christianity while ignoring what's negative, only to dissociate the positive from the negative. The only bridge between the two is the word "Christianity", a word which in itself has no connection to the perennial.

The objective of religious practice is most often to shed attached conditioning and therefore discover the underlying insights of Self and Universe (1). At the heart of all religious ideology is a common philosophy of love, acceptance, compassion, tolerance, and a certain spontaneous wisdom. This implies a transformation of our relationships, the way we relate to eachother, and the way we relate to ourselves. If there is a transformation within a person, that person is no longer swayed by the expectations of any form of conditioning. Therefore, any major religion is challenging the way our institutionalized society expects things to be. When an institutionalized society adopts a religious practice, it then becomes merely another form of conditioning (2).

Put simply, in as much a religious practice can become attached conditioning, then that religious practice can block personal transformation.

The word "person" comes from the ancient Greek word "persona". The Greeks originally used the word in the field of drama, when a mask was used by the actors. The mask itself was called the "persona", or "that through which the sound passes through." And so the word "persona" implies a mask, a character. Similarly, our personalities are only an expression of the conditioning bonded to us by the particular environment in which we were raised. There is a side to being human which is deeper than that expression. Just as an actor takes on a persona, a human being takes on a personality (3).

Compassion is the central component of spiritual transformation. When a personality is transcended, there comes with it a sense of oneness with all of humanity (4), and therefore a persistent sense of indiscriminate acceptance of everyone. Normally, no matter what our particular form of conditioning is, we are told that we are separate from others. "My family", "My country", "My religion", "My race", "My sex", whatever it is that we identify with is only an expression of "Me". To have a great sense of compassion indicates a break from that conditioning, and a leap toward profound other-centeredness. Whether it be called salvation, enlightenment, or awakening, every major religion has this objective at it's core.


(1) "How shall I grasp it? Do not grasp it. That which remains when there is no more grasping is the Self." - Panchadasi

(2) "Organized religion, with it's beliefs, dogmas and rituals, denies open access to the vastness of the human mind." - Krishnamurti

(3) "In pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped." - Lao Tsu

(4) "He makes the sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust." - Jesus

I believe that today's Christianity (read: NOT CHRISTIANITY AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED) is a way of shirking the responsibility of your own actions onto the shoulders of some mythic underworld devil. Ah, but it is so much easier on the will to say "the devil made me do it". What enlightenment is there in such a belief?

I think that when you beleive in an eternal hellfire pitt... you get kind of weird...and some people have done that these days... you identify yourself with making mistakes, and therefor you figure your going to hell (ie. continue doing even worse deeds)


rather than all other religions (including original christianity) which teach that there is no "sin" there is only "obstacles we create for ourselfs" ie. we will be forgiven of our sins by reeping what we sew... all waves we send out must come back to the shore

so if we lose our identity as a mistake maker and wrong doer, we can learn from the mistakes and correct our actions and follow the footsteps of those who do right (saints etc) sitting on we ass and saying im going to hell anyways doesnt accomplish much

And, of course, they only work on those who really don't have a good sense of perspective and awareness.. The sheep are always led to the butcher, I guess.

I guess the thing is for us to continously advance and evolve, thereby always dragging the dead weight along with us...

i understand the difference of christianites current day motives... but i think its easy to see how phony things are when they have to evolve in to a peace loving religeon when they were practiced far from it, it migt as well just be dropped when realized

trying to look past mistakes not pretend we didnt make them, and its only after generations when the participators are no longer connected or resposible for what their beliefs used to be can they claim no resposibilty ... wich they are right, they are resposible for it in no way

-Masturbation?-
It was an ethical question, it wasn't immature, insulting, or inapporiate. I asked if anyone could provide a bible verse to show that god disapproved of self-gratification, other than the fact that many people look at pornography during the fact. I got no replies, because they got rid of it so quick, but there are other post about masterbation, inter-racial sex, and other things more offending than mine. I would think the logical explaination of why masterbation is wrong in gods eyes is, that when you masterbate you are thinking of something sexual (i.e. a hot teacher or model) and there for commiting the sin of lust, because according to the bible even if you don't act upon your thoughts, you have still sinned. I think I know more about the (baptist, charismatic, pentecostal) religion than they do.

Alot of people that replied to this thread proclaim to be christian, but what you describe is more like buddhisum or your own interpitation of the bible. According to most of the forms of christianity I mentioned above, they believe most catholics will go to hell, and there religion is more like a cult. They believe the same about every religion other than there own. They say there way is the only way, and if you change a thing or two, you are not following the right path, so according to them we are all going to hell, unless we change our blasphemious ways.

There is a lovely little porn story in Genesis, involving Onan and his brother's wife. God had commanded Onan to sleep with his brother's wife, but not wanting to betray his brother, he masturbated infront of her instead. God was dissatisfied with Onan's disobediance, and he was slain.

Genesis Chapter 38:8-10

jtryptamine, the book of 1 Peter (I think) mentions that a man cannot be held responsible for sinful thoughts, and that he is only held accountable for his actions, as his actions determine what's in his heart. (Paraphrased)

He cannot be held accountable if he asks for forgiveness. You wouldn't be held accountable for any sins after asking for forgiveness, but that dosn't mean you can keep sinning and keep praying.

Also the bible does specficly say that thoughts of lying with another mans wife, are just as bad as actually doing it. I'll find the scripture when I have more time

thats so cool! they like to talk about mercy and forgiveness blah blah blah but at the end of the day god just loves smiting people! the bible is all about vengence and wrath and lsmiting.

whoever said the crusades where about slaughtering non christians they werent. they where about getting pilgrims access to the holy lands.(and loot, plunder, vengence, wrath and smiting)

What was your screen name on the site, jtryptamine, if you don't mind me asking?  I did a search for masturbation topics and got over 50 pages of them.  :rolleyes: I can't believe they shut yours down when there is already so many.

In this case the brother was dead, so there was no wife-stealing involved.

God had killed Onan's brother earlier because he had been "wicked in the sight of the LORD", whatever that means. (Genesis 38:7)

#Edit: Onan was punished for masturbation because he disobeyed God by wasting sperm, not because he was intimate with a woman who was not his wife. This is where the "every sperm is sacred" theme of Catholicism started.

My screenname was jtryptamine there too. Maybe that had something to do with it, but saturdaze and acidcrys also got banned for posting similar topics, actually acidcrys posted about war or something I'm not sure. I also got banned with bucket_of_nines as a screen name for replying to a thread about inter-racial relationships, and how I didn't have a problem with it, I think they found out we were from the shroomery and banned us all, a form of internet racism.

So fornication is okay, but masturbation is a sin? What about christians who use condoms with there spouse, wouldn't they be wasting sperm? Thats a good one.

Masturbation is not necessarily a sin. If your married and separated from your spouse (due to a job, etc) you can masturbate while thinking of her/him. Masturbation itself is not a sin, it is what you think about when you do it.

I hate to say it, but browsing around the various topics on that Christianity.com board, it really seems like those people take the Bible very literally...every word.  They must not like people questioning or contemplating different interpretations of their holy book.  Jtryptamine , I couldn't even find your topic when I searched.  They deleted it completely as though it didn't even exist. 

They obviously don't want debate, or to expand their consciousnesses in any unorthodox direction.  I grew up in a fundamentally Christian household, and its taken me years to grow beyond the hold that religion has had on me, that made me feel guilty for just being born a woman due to Eve.  My parents still believe that a woman should never be in any position of power because of the Bible.  :tongue:

Any organization that halts the progression of human awareness and freedom of individual thought really gets to me.  They're welcome to believe what they want, but I just can't believe they would ban someone for raising valid questions of their own faith.  I'm sorry that you were so immediantly shot down, jtryptamine.

I see my mother:

Doesnt respond 9/10 of the time. Cant/wont think for herself. I am now searching for a psychological term better than simply "brainwashed" and "controlled". A catholic man shut down her mind. It hasnt been turned back on yet.

Its incredible how a mind-controlling fuck who rolls with the dark reptile bloodline, of king henry, and is also a part of the catholic church, with a masters in chemical engineering from purdue can turn one woman away from every last family member within 1 year of meeting her. Religion can be a path of life (aruguably for the better or not) but it can also be a very powerful tool of control and destruction.

Just take a look at Cortez, the indians of mexico thought he was their holy savior returning to bestow light upon their lands. He made them believe in catholosism or die. I'm not saying religion is bad because of what past followers have done, but did it ever cross your mind that this is how it was spread into your own mind perhaps many generations ago? This question + 99,999,999,999 more, will never be answered by many followers of their own religion, and if they are, there is a good chance they will be agued elementary school-yard style. Seen any priests in debates lately?

I agree w/ you shade

I once was doing laundry with friends at a laundrymat...inbetween visiting a hindu temple and camping... and a friend was getting a haircut next door... she (the barber) was inquiring politely about the hinduism and stuff..and she said her friend really wanted to talk to us about it cuz he was interested...and he might even buy us lunch lol my friends were like wow really!? and then after he was on his way the kid gettin the haircut was like your friend doesnt happen to be a pastor does he? and she was like well yes he is...

so a really tall pastor with a bible came in and we had a friendly intended discussion for an hour or so and the whole time he was trying to explain to us how our beleifs are narrow and how we need to widen them and that we should not follow false profits

Its really sad because the people have such good intentions but they are obstructing the beleifs of other people without trying to understand them...thats not right! I think they are focusing so much on what is wrong they dont spend as much time doing what is right... there are alot of christian churches where they get up and dance and sing really awsome songs and help the needy alot... in india the christians (i saw some churches dating from the 1500's) live with harmony in the same community as muslums and hindu people

I got a jahovas witness pamflet from somone who came to the door.
they live in this neighborhood so after I was done skimming through it and reading some of it I politely put it back in their mailbox with a letter saying how I respect their intentions of helping the community but that its not for me and so maybe they could use the book again

Onan was said to have "spilled his seed,' which  could be interpreted thusly, and why masturbation has been called Onanism. It was a violation of the Law - a defiance of God's Law more than the actual 'spilling of seed' that was at stake, but things get wildly distorted through time. Epicurus was a stoic philosopher who believed in 'the middle way' of neither excess or asceticism. So how come the adjective 'epicurean' has come to mean someone who totally digs food?

The OT patriarchs like David and Solomon had  hundreds of wives and concubines, so lust, qua lust, has long been recognized in political leaders (libidinous souls). Those guys never had time to masturbate with all those women. Moreover, reproduction of children is so important in Judaism, that today, in Kabbalistic thought, the  only reason for being transmigrated (reincarnated) is through one's failure to have produced progeny.

By NT times, the Law had been internalized, psychospiritually: "Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." - Matthew 5:27-28). Now (A) we are all guilty of this sin (inordinate attachment to sexual desire, which is a 'goddess' in the ancient world) and so we are idolatrous in the depth of our desire (eros) for love (Aphrodite, Astarte, Ishtar, etc.). (B), this makes us heathen, (C) we need to repent to be forgiven for our fallen human natures to 'lust after strange gods,' and most importantly (D) - it is not Compassionate to commit adultery. Even considering it internally is a betrayal of one's spouse. We are 'coming from' the loins, not the Heart (which Biblically includes ALL of our motive-centers, but especially is a 'spiritual organ.').

[Sorry for long-winded deviation :smile:

Every single person has a chance to be saved, if they make the choice. I don't know what happens to people who never heard of Christ, but I'm not going to try to pretend I know what God thinks. Sadly, I do not know as much about the Bible as I should, but I'm working on it.
Do not judge all of Christianity based on a few extrememly fundamentalist "leaders." I don't try to judge anybody just based on a few bad exceptions. Yes, many older Christians are very set in their ways, and even though many are true Christians, they have been taught the wrong message. I have had many people tell me that long hair on men was a sin (1 Cor. 11:13-16). But I showed them the verse, explained it to them, and told them that Christ does not care about your outward appearance (to an extent), but what is in your heart. They had nothing to say to me after that.

Most depictions of St. Paul show him as being bald. This long hair thing is one of the things he says "by permission" which is just his own trip. I know from personal experience as far back as 1966 that bald-headed men have given me the most s**t for wearing long hair. Envy, plain and simple. Those fundamentalists who take letters of Paul for the 'Word of God' should win the 'Biggest Douchbag of the Universe Award' (from SouthPark). None of those kind of people connect up what they read with common everyday human experience. They are non-thing robots and morons. Paul, never in his most ego-inflated moments would ever have considered his letters to be taken with the same reverence as Holy Scriptures! If the Shroud of Turin is a true relic and a mysterious image of Jesus, then it will be noted that He wore long hair, oiled and pulled into a pony tail like the Jewish men of his era who had hair ! Fundamentalists cannot think, and maintain that their non-thinking behaviors are evidence of faith. They cannot discern the strictly human elements from the divine ones. They don't know how to love, only to criticize and judge - they are critics not models of Christian faith. Fundamentalism is the demonic distorted carnival mirror of real Christianity which is not only The Way, but Way Cool.

I can't wait until I reach an understanding with "God", the structure that we are a part of, and some entity somewhere in the universes within me reach an understanding with me, "God".
