A lot of regional printers tout a 'Christian badge' and then totally rinse the church with stupidly high print fees for their stuff. I know this, because they've told me as much.

Does anyone else find it ironic when a God fearing Christian says religion is a joke?
Maybe it's just me.

Chris, what teleos meant is that a religion is a meaningless set of legalistic rules and regulations. Orthodox (i.e. the real thing) Christianity is about a relationship with God, not about rules.
In a manner it's all semantics, it depends on how one defines terms like 'religion'. Savvy?
- sounds like a cop out. go to a catholic church, you have to stand up and sit down, kneel, sounds like rules.mrdobolina
- must be baptised etc.mrdobolina

The reason why I am not Catholic is because their official doctrine stray from Scripture in a variety of ways:
They believe faith + works = salvation. Orthodox Christianity states that works are a sign of true faith, but that they do not add to one's salvation in the least.
They believe that the sacraments are also requirements of salvation: for example, they say baptism and communion are necessary ingredients of salvation. We believe these things are signs and seals, but do not determine salvation.
They make separations between Christians. They canonize certain "righteous" people after death, another encouragement of works-based salvation. Some Christians are post-humously called saints, others are just Christians. The Bible teaches that all believers are saints.
They pray to saints and to Mary. This is not condoned anywhere in the Bible, nor do we have any reason to believe that people hear and/or see us left here on earth after they die.

The Catholics I know who actually are Christians do not agree with the Vatican on all matters.
- are you in the business of passing judgement on who is and isnt a christian?mrdobolina
- It's ultimately between each person & God since I can't read minds.gramme
- However, you can tell for sure if a person is NOT a Christian if they claim to believe things that conflict with the core message of the gospel.gramme
- ...of the gospel.gramme
- like all catholics?mrdobolina
- core message? which can be interpreted to mean many things?ephix
- like many catholics, but not all. Many evangelicals too, for that matter.
gramme - The core message is pretty clear and undeniable. Some people just make up what they want to believe.gramme
- its all religion though, admit it.mrdobolina
- depending on your definition, yes or no are both right answers in this case.gramme
- that's bs.mrdobolina
- No, you're just thick as molasses, mrdob. "admit it".teleos
- it is a religion, czawada had it right, the church doesnt pay taxes. what does that make it?mrdobolina
- um, a non-profit organization?gramme
- Is Pat Robertson's Outfit non-profit?mrdobolina

please gramme, don't go on. even if someone asks. they aren't sincere. so you wont lose any points mate.
- gramme0
A rule is a principle by which one is saved. A principle is a guideline by which one is sanctified and glorifies God. A principle does not contribute to salvation.
dobs, I think you're missing the point. What I said above is semantics. The real point is that rules that lead to spiritual dead ends are pointless.

Well if Christianity isn't a religion then they owe a fuckload of back taxes.

gramme, even if half the banter in here is insincere and only meant to be witty/snide, i resonate with what you're saying.
that site—even if it's humorous and mockable—brings up things to be worried about with the general topic of faith and religion...
- ...and branding tooAmpersanderson
- yup. totally agree :)gramme
