Any priest that's able to identify where the Triforce and Scared Realm come from is okay in my book.

There was a little more to the conversation the I omitted for space... I told him it's from a video game.

NOOOOOOooooooooooes my illusions shattered >.>

All the other religions insist that you give God your money. :3

See, I never understood that.... what does God need with money? What is He/She/It spending it all on?

Commissioned furry pr0nz. Or maybe he uses his omniscience to peer into a mall and goes "omg shoes!"

Seriously, who knows. Joan of Arc knows.

Jean D'arc did know, but hell, she died as a "martyr"

The solution is simple:
Throw your money up in the air. Whatever God wants, he can keep.

Mother Teresa once said, "God has lots of money."

Money is just a tool that can be used for good or for evil. It is our wills that determine that. Many religious people asking for money mean to do something good by it, although there are always those televangelist folks who are nothing more than thieves.

In any event, we have free will, and that is something precious, but it is up to us to use it wisely and to turn it to the purpose for our creation. We will have true joy no other way.

Dominus tecum

No. Its not the religion that demands money, its the institution of the churches that demand money for support...

But why do we need these big fancy structures? Does God like it better like that?

as far as I am personally concerned, people can meet anywhere to worship god weather its someone's house, a basement, an alleyway, a fancy church, or even a park. God loves everything and everyone despite the sins the idea of meeting up in fanciful church's originally started as a catholic thing. In my life experience, church's double has gathering places for the local community as well...(as you can probably tell by now, I'm protestant.)

That's why He made Journey write "Any Way You Want It." The way of the well-funded church is the way God wants it, nay NEEDS it!

best song ever that is not metal

and that exact thoght sponed the prodistent refermation... im not kiding.

Mormon?

The whole money thing is to support the church and it's bills, help the people in it that are having trouble with money, and to help send people to talk about religion to foreign countries.

I don't think they were Mormons, they were handing out Bibles.

They are allready running around here in Frankfurt trying to recuit people. Their volunteer are learning german and fly over here from Utah just for the purpose of talking to people here. I think thats a bit exaggerated.

Funny thing is christian missionaries from Africa are running around in town too here.

Hmm.... maybe I should start running around in Link's Outfit handing out Hyrulian's holy document, "Ocarina of Time" for the N64

Pfft, you're all crazy, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the only true savior.

lol, i'm thinking about converting to hyrulian now. some guy came up to my door the other day and told him i was jewish and he just preached even more. then i slammed the door in his face... and laughed... I could hear him saying "you'll go to hell if you stay with judaism!" and all that crap. Wow... you are so right...

Heh...someone who shares my views on that. ^^

Although I'm agnostic. Religion is a big topic to discuss, but everyone gets mad if you so much as ask a simple question. *sigh* Guess that's the reason I'm writing a book that only asks questions and explains symbolism. XD

yeah, I'm religious, but the whole going around trying to convert people is stupid -_- you should only be in a religion on YOUR OWN choice, not because someone told you to -__- Very funny though, maybe I should say something like that if someone asks XD

Lol...
That, was AH-mayzing my friend! ^^

I'm something more along the lines of Wiccan myself (not quite, but its the quickest way to describe it), but next time I get a Jehova's Witness or traveling Mormon or whatever to my front door, I'm totally gonna do this! =3

one of my parent's old neighbors, some crazy old russian lady, did something really funny when jehova's witnesses showed up at her door... saying that her soul needed saving...

she yelled at them, saying: "If my soul really needs saving, you'd better get down on your knees and START praying!"

they got mad and left.

x3


(you could always be a JENOVA'S WITNESS.)

Jenova? Like the Final Fantasy Jenova? xD

yes :3 (VGCATS as reference)

Can't Brathe! laghuing to hard. when they come to your door they deserve it... LOL


BTW im crying becuse im laguing to hard

I'm a very religious person (not Christian), and I agree that it's silly to try and convert others to your faith against their own will. I got preached to at a Halloween celebration thing at a church, and the guy doing it just got a bit too 'personal'. (I like my personal space, people!)

You wanna here a strange religion? The norse religion says the world was created by a cow liking a giant icecube. And as it licked it everything in the world sprang into existance one by one with each lick. -lol- How's that for wierd?

All religions are kinda weird.
Scientology: Evil Lord Xe-nu put alien souls in us to make us unhappy.
Christianity: God gave us himself, who is his son, to go on a suicide mission.
Hyrulian: 3 Goddesses made the Earth and left a Golden Triangle behind.
Hinduism: You keep coming back every time you die until you get it right.
Muslim: If you kill yourself on purpose you get to sleep with 44 virgins.

Verry true stuff. Most religions have at least one thing thats hard to swallow. some more than others.

There is one that is very easy to swallow, downright tasty even.

But first I must ask: Have you been touched by His Noodly Appendage?

Pastafarianism is truly the faith with an edible messiah.

...And I actually laughed at that. xD

I am a christion myself (non-denominational) and here's how I view all that. Yes, we are supposed to go out and tell people about Jesus and God and all they've done for us. BUT, thats as far as we can really go. If a person doesn't care or simply won't listen. Then there's no real point in going any further. I don't think people should force our religion on other people. It's just not right. It's your choice to make. *shrugs*

((hope I explained that well enouph.))

Hey you gotta admit, being a Puritan is pretty awesome

I thought churches ran on donations. Anyways, I could care less what others call their religion. As long as they aren't jerks, they are right by me. I hate it when people use religion as an excuse or as a manual. I like to believe that my salvation lies not with my religion, but with my heart.

*steals the triforce of power*

Churches don't need to pay taxes, thus that means they kept to keep a lot of the money they bring in, and I mean a lot. Some may think they're doing gods work, but the puppet masters at the top are doing it all for the money, and the more people they bring in, the more money they get.

What's worse is when the puppet master actually believe their teachings a little too much, and start calling for the blood of "infidels" and the like. That's when you have to wonder what's so great about a religion that asks for obedience and fear of your god, instead of anything good.

Religion:
Follow this God, listen to the people that speak for this God, don't question it.

Faith:
Hope for the best.

Decency:
Be nice to others.

It's amazing how rarely the three will match up.

I know this is a typical Protestant complaint but why does the Vatican keep so much gold and valuables? If they sold off all those relics, all those gold and gems, they could make many billions of dollars then give it to all the world's poor. And millions would become Roman as a result.

Dude, that's awesome.

You have no idea.

oh wow

Those door-to-door guys got it wrong. It's like they're insurance salesmen or something. The fact is that no religion can save. Not theirs, and not anyone else's.

Keep this in mind the next you get solicited by missionaries.
"Well you two can just fuck right off. You can take that Book of Mormon and shove it so far up your righteous asses that you choke, you soul-soliciting pig-fuckers."
- Orgasmo quote.

That's not really nice. You need to show these people you can be nice without their religion, not prove that people without their religion will swear to them and be mean.

It's a movie quote from 1997's "Orgasmo". It was never meant to be taken seriously.

I wish I was Hyrulian or some other type of religionist from a video game. I might worship Kingdom Hearts. :'D
