What Adiuvo said.
Also, spreading it is fine, I guess. But forcing people to believe in God by any means necessary is, in my opinion, evil.

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters,yes, even his own life, he can not be my disciple...In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has can not be my disciple."
And why aren't we supposed to take it literal? This is the word of God. He knows what he's saying since he's all powerful and all knowing is he not? I'm sure he could of reworded it to cause less confusion(As he should of known since he's all knowing)...He also should of known people like me would "take it too literal(ie "The wrong way"). Since I'm taking it too literal right?
I'm just saying, how else can we take the verse "Anyone who works Sunday should be stoned to death?" Death means to die. Being stoned means someone has to do it. So essentially it's murder. Or if it's not murder, it still says death. Death means to die. End of story.
If you want another verse here it is. It plainly says death
"For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. "
I work every Sunday and by Christians not killing me, they are essentially not following the word of God. So what's the point if Christians aren't killing me.( or at least getting someone else to kill me since it doesn't really say who has to do the killing)
EDIT: Oh and the praying part we aren't supposed to take literal either?
What do we take literal then? Sheesh?
Only the stuff that is legal and possible? lol
I believe Jesus meant that only people who are troubled may follow him, so that they can see the wrong of their ways.

The first verse you had simply means that Jesus must be the most important thing in your life, above all else.
For the second, that's Old Testament law, and no longer in effect if you're Christian. Christian's are followers of Jesus' and his disciples teachings, ie., the New Testament. Old is only there for guidance and history's sake.

I'm an "I-don't-give-a-fuck-about-religion"ist. Extremists' can have their stupid beliefs. The only people who socialize with them are equally retarded, so they're basically isolated in their world. Its only because of modern media that we hear about their shit.
Just take pleasure in the fact that every sensible person laughs at them. I have extremist relatives and everyone one in my family laughs at them behind their back. I have officially atheist communist relatives and everyone gets along with them...

When did this happen? I mean the "no longer in effect" thing. And who said it should no longer be in effect?
Oh the verse where it says that "if two people come together and ask for anything in his name. it will happen" thing doesn't work. Which is found in the New Testament... =/
I'm not trying to be an ass or anything. I just want to know if people know this and how they deal with it.

Well if you ever have time, just send it to me because I've never heard of this. Thanks for the info.
So Christians are to follow the New Testament now? And everything in the New Testament is still the word of God and all that right??

the old law was NOT undone. Jesus said so himself.

If you think about that verse alone, then yes, it would seem like that. However, going in line with previous versus and teachings, the meaning changes. A lot of verses in the Bible are like that, which leads to people trying to manipulate the meaning.
Since I'm too lazy to explain in detail, and probably not capable of doing that good of a job, here's an article.

Yeah... The "word of god".

If I told somebody that I heard voices, they'd say I was insane...
But, if I claim it's god, then I'm enlightened.

That's where the faith part comes in. Though I suppose it only seems outrageous because of today's society and it's attitude towards religion. 70 years ago it definitely wouldn't seem that way.

It only took 1600 years, but people are finally realizing that the idea that a senior citizen build a gigantic boat, rounded up 2 of every flee, bird, bug, you name it, and got them to fuck on a boat, is fucking retarded.
Unforunately, too many are still stupid, and believe that non-sense actually happend. And even those who don't think that actually happend, still think there's a moral to that story, and the stories that it shares pages with.
The Bible has no purpose anymore... It's negatives far out weigh it's positives in the 21st century.

I'm just quoting Christians. They say the Bible is the word of God. (Or at least the Christians I've seen)
