"I'm not a christian, but it feels good to be in The Chapel", Ed Kowalczyk Options

[livebat]

I've just listen again all my bootlegs of Live and right now I'm listen "I Alone" for the concert in the Chapel, date: 2000-03-13.

Just want to share, again, like everyone, how much I miss Ed... If this thread is repetitive, it's because all we are concerned in different ways... Like I said: It's not religions fault, but in a way the people who didn't know what to believe, finds the wrong answer on them.

Want my +Live+ back!!!

[+Ed+]

I did not read the whole thread, I can not take any of this christianity bullshit for pages and pages anymore, sorry guys.

But you know what stroke me? Every second post says that Christianity took our Ed frmo our Liev and made him a greedy bastard that sings Top with a grin.

NO

NO FUCKING WAY

It is not christianity that did it to him!

How can you not see that all this god-water-christ-christianity-kids-etc etc etc bullshit is simply a MASK! This way Ed only wanted to gain new potential listeners from christian rock ... errr... gangs or audiences or whatever you call them. I am sure he can say whatever he wants, on christianity, on finding his way etc etc but in MOST religions in the world SWITCHING religion is the biggest fucking sin, bigger than fucking your neghbour's wife while your kids are playing nearby or bigger than committing a suicide!

Does anyone not see it as a marketing promotion?

Damn, guys, come on!

We can dwell forever on the topic, but please guys leave the baldy alone and stop feeding the trolls =)

switching religions is a sin?????... uh..... ok?????

have you ever heard of the prodigal son? http://christianity.about.com/od/biblestor...prodigalson.htm

and, someone said... "we're all atheist.... i just believe in one less god than you".

that makes no sense... a Christian is a monotheist.

and, saying that organized religion is evil and that it causes wars is not entirely true. while, i do agree that wars are started over it... that doesn't necessarily mean the religion, itself, is at fault. the law in america says that you can't use your house as a drug dealership... but, people do... and, when they get busted... there are fights... shootings... killings. now, i ask you... is this the laws fault or the peoples fault? so, just cause people start wars over religion doesn't make the religion at fault... unless of course the religion tells the people to start wars w/ other religions. there is a difference between defending your beliefs and obeying your beliefs. even though, i doubt Jesus ever taught to fight one another for what you believe in.

and, as for the one that said why is your belief any more true than another when you all believe in the invisible... Jesus Christ is not invisible. He walked this earth... there are facts for that. and, if you say there isn't... then show me the facts that christopher columbus walked the earth. you can't.. but, you know it's true. but, back to Jesus. He did walk the earth, and talk to people... and, my belief in Him is not from fairy tales... it's from an eye witness account (John), and Mark, who wrote his book from accounts of peter... who walked with Christ, and Matthew, Luke. http://carm.org/apologetics/evidence-and-a...ritten-and-whom

then some use logic to disprove religion... Christianity, in particular. but, Christianity doesn't use logic to base its reasoning on. it uses faith. Jesus told thomas that "he believed because he has seen, but blessed be the ones who believe but have not seen".

there are many questions about God that no one can answer. many try to come up w/ possible answers to prove or disprove God,... but, reality is, is that we must all make a decision on whether or not to believe what Jesus said to be true. i believe. was i raised to believe? yes. have i ever doubted along the way? yes. was it my parents belief that brought me back Jesus as the answer to my doubts? no.

Yes you are a monotheist. Because you only believe in one god, that means you lack belief in any of the thousands of other gods that people believe in, or at some point, believed in.

When you discover why you disbelieve in Zues, you'll see why I disbelieve in your God.
