You cannot call yourself Christian, and denounce Jesus in such a way. Why does it matter? Why? Because the lesson he gives us, the lesson of redemption, peace, following him. He promises us the best life we can have, and have seen that proven right time and again, if we but bend our knee to him. He is there, working in our lives, giving us all the chances to spread his word and to grow as he can. I live with Jesus because I want to. I'm actually against most organized religion, and have many opinions on things like that. Why I give a fist about that book, is because its helped me through my life. God has always been there for me, and has always helped me. The lessons he gives, and the wisdom he provides is incredible. I need that book because without it, I would fall into sin, and would forget the right path. I need a good book to tell me how to live, because everyone around me isn't too good at that. "Drink beer, sex, women, money, power!" Screw that! I would be lost in five years without the Bible, and Jesus. Man's take on life is nothing but stupidity to me. Money? The nice car and big house? I would much rather have salvation, thanks.

It matters if he's the son of God or not. If he is, he is what he says. If he isn't, then there is no point in Christianity. Christianity is different because he rose from the dead, promises us Salvation, and defeated death. No other "God" did that.

That damned holy ghost died for you on the cross, layed down those principles you follow, and loves you, Shy. Without him, there is no 'Christ'ianity.

Shy, the bible isn't meant to be taken literally at all times. Also, The Council of Nicea decided which "God-inspired" works fit with the church's teachings of God and Jesus. Have you heard of the Gospel of Thomas? It "described" Jesus's life as a kid, but it said that he brought dead crows back to life and hit his friends with lightning bolts. The Council decided not to put it in because it didn't go with the teachings of Jesus.

Simply put Shy, just because some says that it was inspired by God, it doesn't mean that it actually was.

The Word of Man, and Word of God are two very different things. The Da vinci code is a myth, and a theory. One that I don't care about. Anyway, the ideas and chances of the Bible being fake is fake in and of itself. All the books in the Bible were written over hundreds of years, by different people. Wasn't it the book of John that was written on a stranded island? Yeah. Anyway as said, the Word of Man is garbage, and farce when put against the cross. The Cruades for Jesus? Inquisition? Bull. All of it. I'm sure Jesus wept at them all, and was torn in half. Just because someone says its God inspired doesn't mean it is. If it does not produce love, kindness, growth, and strength, but instead death, broken hearts and war, it is not of God.

I haven't used a bong yet.

You can't exactly do that at work.

I have used a papertowel roll though.  The same guy who I was talking about earlier, he can make a makeshift pipe out of anything.  He's been making them since he was 11.

yeah pipes are hella easy to make and real easy to use. i usually smoke before work haha not while im there >_>. My favourite makeshift pipe is the aluminum can...just cut a hole, put some tinfoil in it, and your done. haha

Here, I can buy 1/4 of an ounce for 50 dollars. So, 200 dollars an ounce.

Holy shit that's expensive compared to everyone else's prices. @_@

its the same here for a quarter....but don't you get deals for buying more than that? it gets cheaper when you buy in bulk.

also arthur that's a very refreshing way of thinking, and one i share.

50 $ a gram?

Holy hell, I can get 1.5 for 15 bucks, and that's almost considered a bit expensive. I'm guessing you're getting high-quality stuff though.

I can get an ounce for 60 bucks, and some better stuff for around 80.

yeah 1.5 for 15 is pretty standard, as is 10 for a gram. i cannnnot believe the 60 per ounce though that is ridiculous...where do you live? haha

uh... how can Jesus blaspheme? He is God. I find the Jewish view kind of funny, actually... "Okay, we're looking for our savior, who's gonig to come from God and be God, and yet, every person who claims to be God we will kill." No insult to any Jews, but that's kind of funny to me.

So yeah, Jesus can't blaspheme because he is God. If God claims to be God, that's just telling the truth, isn't it? And Shy, those guys really aren't following Jesus the way they should be. They really aren't Christians. How do we know? Well, we can't really know for sure, until the rapture, at which time all fakers will be exposed. True Christians will want to follow God so much that they won't want to sin like those people.
