Hello all, I'm new.

Post by Reflectionist »

Hey, I'm Reflectionist. You can call me Ref, or Jake. I've been looking for a forum that I can discuss ideals of Christianity and learn some things at the same time, while staying under an 'umbrella of mercy.' I'm at a point in life right now where I'm trying to find stuff out for myself, regarding God... I've been a Christian for a while, but now it's not quite working for me, and I'm trying to figure out why.

I need this place, I think... my Christian friends and mentors think I'm abandoning them and creating my own theology, and my Atheist friends and mentors think I'm too stupid and indoctrinated to be of any use to them, so I haven't been getting any help anywhere. Even from other forums online, they're all waaaaaaay biased.

I hope this is not Waaaaaaaaaaaay biased.

Anyway, enough ranting. That's me. :-) See ya around.

Welcome Relectionist.

I think you will never find your way but with islam
i am here for help
if you need any help about christinaty ,, jesus ,,islam I can help you Allah willing
I always write in non-christians forum but I always write there for atheists who claim that they were apes
so ask me if you need help because you really need help
you are not in the right way but I found it

I believe that Islam is further off the point than Christianity; I'm sorry, that is a path I will not go down.

I know that you will say that because you know nothing about islam so what is your religion may I can help you to save you from the darkness to the light of islam
You're bordering on ad hominem, so if you expect me to take you seriously you will not tell me what I do or do not understand. I will not consider Islam, and your reasoning is better suited to telling a child to believe in Santa Claus, and not for serious discussion.

I saw no anger - merely justified assertiveness.

How has Islam - the religion of peace - become so corrupt that people kill in its name

Allah is a myth
"Whatever you are totally ignorant of, assert to be the explanation of everything else"

"When I see I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see I am everything, that is love. My life is a movement between these two."

You help people to make up their minds about Islam regularly, but not int he way you intend. Keep going.

Dans tes ailes blanches,
Et je vole,
Et je coule

Other than crashing planes into tall buildings, what must a man do to be saved under Islam?

True or not, that's ad hominem. I'm not a mod, but this is my thread, so cool it. Please.

Thank you. You wouldn't want someone basing their opinion of your faith on the crusades, the spanish inquisition, or the thirty years war, or any more of the bloody killings perpetrated in the name of Christ, would you?

So I think it is unfair to base your opinion on this Muslim on September 11th, that's all.

I did not want to judge him for 911, I just wanted to give him a chance to renounce the people who support the 911 attacks, just like I renounce anyone who has used any form of violence to advance Christianity.
That is not to say that there is no place for violence, if I see someone being attacked, I will use as much force as I can muster up to stop it. The same applies to nations as well.

Violence has no place in Christianity.
