gotigrz's Christianity topic, part 2 Options

[gotigrz]

Someone i think badman or merica actually asked ed in person and he admitted being a christian. im pretty sure his is a little more of an open faith (i remember a recent interview where he stated that praying doesnt do much good in the world) I know he thinks the bible is the best source of morality and guide for mankind but im not clear if he believes in the divinity of jesus or that he was born of a virgin etc...

well, if ed said that he was a Christian, then he does believe in the virgin birth, the dying on the cross, and the resurrection 3 days later. that is the criteria of being a Christian. nobody says, .. "yeah, i'm a Christian, but that whole virgin birth thing is just crazy."

when ed said that about prayer not doing much good (i heard the interview)... he was referring to prayer that he thinks isn't really "prayer". he was saying that when you are truly in prayer with God that you are like one with Him, and that most people just close their eyes and ask for something. and, that THAT isn't doing much good cause that's what most people do and look at the world around us. PRAYER... aka... truly talking to God is VERY powerful.

if you followed the link i provided before you'll see how your C.S lewis argument fails, not to mention Martin Luther King Jnr. And that fraud Mother Teresa. Christopher Hitchens has put those arguments in their place.

At the end of the day it really comes down to what works for you and making sure you aren't a fanatic on either side of the spectrum.

edit: in case that first sentence made it sound like i was hating on Martin luther king jnr, i wasnt. He was a true hero way ahead of his time and we owe a lot to his legacy. The point is, christianity had nothing to do with it
