I'm was born in a duddhism family, although we don't talk about religious stuffs at all. my parents never tried to preach me or anything. religion is more like the thing you keep it to your self. and i'm allow to believe anything i choose to so i don't believe in anything now. more like i don't care about religion of any kind. but my sister on the other hand just got converted into being a christian through her friends 2 years ago. seriously! they are one of the weirdest christian group. they are just like any other christian, believes in jesus and bible, but they go to church 12am or 4am in the fuking morning. who the hell does that?!!! my christian friends thinks its weird too.
if i have kids. they are allow to believe anything they want as long as they don't drag me to the church or going to the same church with their aunt.
i think i'm a bit off topic here. so yes. believe whatever you want to believe. mind your own business unless they are going to the messed up church.

TV evangelists are to religious belief what Macca's is to fine dining.
I've no problem with personal beliefs, but when organised religions bleat out their ridiculous ideas about women/abortions/other religions etc etc ETC ETC, they deserve all they get.

OP maybe you should listen more next time you go to your church:
"Judge not, that you be not judged."For all you hyper-sensitive Atheists out there another way to say this would be:
"Mind your own fucking business."

mrock:
you need to learn to accept other people's beliefs and personal convictions. calling them "bullshit" (etc.) makes you look incredibly immature and otherwise implies you think your life's choices are superior to them.
i'd rather be his friend if he has an open mind and respect other people's choices in life than to be linked to someone like you, judgemental that you are.
foolish, i am sorry to say so.
- don't hate. I just think people ikea Joel make foolish money off of people who are vunerable and lack a sense of confidence in themselvesmrock

janne's comments instantly reminded me of the old SouthPark episode It's All About The Mormons, where all the kids except stan ostracise the mormon kid. Eventually Stan succumbs and stops hanging out with him as well. At the bus stop, the kid comes up to him and says:
"All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."

I think many televangelists are full of varying degrees of BS. Joel Osteen preaches a false gospel of health, wealth, and prosperity that people lap up simply because it feels good. The man does not use a single line of Scripture in most of his sermons. It's not really much more than his own personal philosophical/self-help forum.
The true gospel is not so much about improving ones health and wealth in this life, but rather in the next life, in eternity. Of course, Jesus came to heal the sick, the blind, to comfort the downtrodden and minister to the outcast; but his ultimate message was one of eternal life. This world is passing away. Joel Osteen settles for a temporal band-aid sort of gospel. In a word, it's heresy.
Changing gears: airey, I think you're on to something. Theoretical science, i.e. scientific "theories" that are based largely on conjecture, have more in common with philosophy and faith than with science. Robotron is wrong about the supposed line in the sand between religious faith and evolutionary science. Faith most definitely should be questioned and tested in order for it to grow.
- If Joel is really Christian, and Christian is to be like-Christ, How often did Christ or Paul quote scripture? Just sayin....philipdrumman
- Actually, Christ and Paul both quoted scripture prolifically. Read the gospels for a start.Scotch_Roman
- Then read all of Paul's letters. Copious Old Testament references (the only Bible then available)Scotch_Roman
- Scotch not getting into debate but how were parables quoting other scripture certainly not on daily accountphilipdrumman
- point im trying to make is refs are in the letters but how is the ration of letters in retrospect to years of witness by either Paul or Christ, parables to ppl vs Paul in court in Rome, etcphilipdrumman
- or Christ, parables to ppl vs Paul in court in Rome, etc.philipdrumman
- Mostly it was about witness and passion not down yer throat scripture quantity...philipdrumman

Jonestown and christianity should not be not strung together like the bakers and watchman nee. Im with you on your concern how much your friend likes televangelist as much as i hate music groupies with bad taste (30 year olds that love hanna montana). joel olsteen is not on the same parallel as jim jones but has a purpose of encouragement, however groupie overendulgence is like old folks watching jeopordy to pass the death away

We are all doomed to live in traditional ideas, that wont progress us to new consciousness. Just keep believe in the old and never look forward. Right on humans.
