@AllWalksofLife The one and only Bob Odenkirk. He co-starred in The Ben Stiller Show as well as Mr Show (with David Cross) and he has been a writer for lots of various TV shows. Insanely funny. Today, I don't know what he's doing besides occasionally appearing on Tim & Eric Awesome Show.
About 30 years ago believe it or not! 1991 and 1992. I still have the DVD set! If you want to see something funny watch his Manson episode lol! It's Charles Manson parodying Lassie with Manson basically being Lassie! Trust me it's worth repeat watching!
you just gotta love youtubers; they (the majority) simply can't take jokes.They forget that youtube is a community with millions of memebers, each with distinctive ways of seing things and different perspectives of what's funny. Come on guys, laugh a little, it pretty darn funny.
Well you do have a good point, people do seek faith because it does comfort. Nothing wrong there. As for the company of others, you can join any club to do that. Most people think Christians are uptight so I don't think anyone would join just for the sake of company.
My family is Christian but our society was not. Even though I'm in America things haven't changed all that much. And btw, there are different types of Christians. Some in name only, the ones who are easily persuaded by your arguments, and others like me who don't change our direction just because the wind blows. I've enjoyed this little discussion, heck I've even had friends who think like you. But the thing that bugged me most was you calling religion stupid. Don't dis what you don't get.
I really do think you don't get it. It sounds nice when you write it, but it truly is something words cannot express. If what you said is really true, why do people still convert? Now you might say it is for political gain or just because they are down but that is not true. Christianity does have truth, you just can't see it. And true Christianity does not cause harm. And when you say religion is stupid, everyone who believes in religion is automatically stupid for believeing it.
What is my reason for believing there is a God? I was born in a Christian family and was brainwashed into to it. (I hope that's not what you want me to say.) Jokes aside, its not a simple thing to describe. As in the case of my religion, Christianity, it is an experience. I believe in God because he gives me hope, a purpose, and strenght. All of these things God gives to me, otherwise life would be unbearable. Besides, being a Christian doesn't seem to be popular nowadays. Marked down comments?
Let me ask, were you ever a former Christian? I am not eloquent enough to debate all ideas and go deep into philosophy. But I hear arguments from both sides, beleivers and non-believers. I have not been indoctrinated, rather, I have experienced it myself. I am not a Christian because it surrounded me. It is mostly non-believers who surround me. Everyone has a 'religion'. Your denial of God and 'religion' is your 'religion'. You just call it unbelief.
While blind faith is the ideal, not everyone goes by that. There might be different religions, but most do have something in common. However, on the region issue, I will agree with you. That region has ONE major religion, you can't apply that to all religions. And to compare religion to Sesame Street, even you should know that they are on completely different levels.Besides, we all believe. I believe in Jesus, and you in your unbelief. As for those who marked be down, grow up.
I can't speak for all religions but do know that mine never started as an organization. It does teach and gives growth to the soul, you just have to give it a chance. Anyway, you were pretty nice compared to some of the other haters. Take care.
