Way. Cool.

However, the server takes FOREVER to render all that shirtage. Is there a way to maybe, I don't know, list one shirt and the linky?

They are funny to Rob, because Ron still has a 7th grade humor level folks.

Not really. Read the quote on the narrow minded one. They're basically claiming their narrow minded viewpoint is the 'right' way. Bhahaha. Classic.

What's the difference between someone who wears a t-shirt with 'narrow minded' and 'brain washed' written on it, and someone whose posts have 'narrow minded' and 'brain washed' written all over it ?

No Rob, they are making fun of those that call them that. I promise.

Which makes more sense? Come on, use that superior intellect you claim you have.

Since when did Christianity start making sense? Read the shirts. They THINK they're making fun of people like me, but in reality to anybody with a brain it's just funny, because they ARE being narrow minded. "The only way to reach god is through me alone". Basically, all other religions are **** in comparison to Christianity, is what that just said, and all the buddhists, hindus, shinto, etc etc etc people are goign to rot in hell.

THAT is narrow minded. Period.

And that's why that shirt is so god damn funny.

Again rob, you don't get it. You want it to mean what you want it to me. You probably saw that, and in a knee-jerk reaction posted this thread, not realizing it was making fun of people like you.

That's ok. We all make mistakes.

BTW Is saying "The only way you are going to learn to swim, is get in the water" narrow minded?

Of course not. I don't think you know what narrow minded means.

You do know by acting like this, you too are being narrow minded right?

I doubt you do.

You really need to stop and think before you get excited and make threads.

Teronzhul · Oct 13, 2005, 12:01 PM

Sadly you can't subscribe to any of the worlds major religions and remain open minded. Being a (true) follower requires a bit of narrow mindedness. To remain completely open minded would require never deciding who is right and who is wrong, and the realization that god may exist in any form or may not exist at all. No one who names themself christian, agnostic, or atheist can fall into an open minded category.

You picked your paths, now quit bitching at each other and be happy.

PS. I did find the brainwashed one kinda funny.

Maybe if you'd use that energy for something worthwhile, you wouldn't be such a tick on humanity's ass.

But, you just called Him narrow minded because of the following quote:

Or, are you one of those people that thinks that you can just pick and choose the parts of the Bible that suit you and say the rest aren't really there?

Nope. I pretty much think the bible is one of the worst books ever written.

wallinbl · Oct 13, 2005, 12:54 PM

If Christianity truly is correct and the Christian God created the world and Jesus was truly His son, then it's not narrow minded. It's simply fact. You can't accuse the Christian God of being narrow minded - that simply doesn't make any sense.

Would it be narrow minded to insist that there are four quarters in my pocket and not believe anyone that said otherwise? Not really. If there weren't four quarters in my pocket, then I simply would have been wrong, but I wouldn't have been narrow minded.

You seem to have a problem comprehending the concept of faith. It requires you to believe something that you can't prove to be true. It's not an easy thing to do.

So, you're saying that there was a guy that lived 2000 years ago that was so cool that many people started inventing things to write about him and kept doing so for 2000 years while growing in popularity? Wonder what the guy really did. Must have been rather impressive.

I think you are less intelligent than this dude:

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
-Galileo Galilei

So I'll take his viewpoint over yours. Or maybe these people's:

And the day will come, when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as His Father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva, in the brain of Jupiter.
-Thomas Jefferson

The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
-Albert Einstein

Me too. But it probably wasn't killing people who disagree with you or starting wars and crusades, genocides, etc etc etc etc.

Plus I don't think Jesus would be down with a lot of going ons in the bible. It's ******** obviously written by man, not by 'god'.

Big whoop. Many great scientists/thinkers were Christian (Isaac Newton, for example). Many were not. Obviously, that means that some of them are wrong.

Mastrap · Oct 13, 2005, 03:35 PM

Rob, why are you arguing? There's nothing to be gained by this, you cannot, and probably should not, change people's believes.

You should however read the Tao Te Ching. I recommend Stephen Mitchell's translation.
"What is a good man, but a bad man's teacher? What is a bad man, but a good man's responsibility?"

And if you run Tiger you can get it delivered to your dashboard. You can get it from http://dailytao.org/

Edit: Today's offering. Seems apt somehow

If you want to be a great leader,
you must learn to follow the Tao.
Stop trying to control.
Let go of fixed plans and concepts,
and the world will govern itself.

The more prohibitions you have,
the less virtuous people will be.
The more weapons you have,
the less secure people will be.
The more subsidies you have,
the less self-reliant people will be.

Therefore the Master says:
I let go of the law,
and people become honest.
I let go of economics,
and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion,
and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the "accident of evolution" had created. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing. He ran even faster, so scared that tears were coming to his eyes.

He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
Even the river stopped moving.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don't exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice. The light went out.

The river ran again.
And the sounds of the forest resumed.

And then the bear dropped his right paw ...
brought both paws together... bowed his head and spoke:

"Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful".

JoshuaZ · Oct 13, 2005, 09:39 PM

Soooooo just because someone yells `help me　superman` when falling off a cliff doesn`t mean superman is going to save him.

Plus I would say that `Oh my God` is an expression that people say without any religous meaning behind it in day to day life.

Just my two cents.

i honestly don't get it - is that site taking the piss or is it for real? or does it depend on who buys the t-shirt?

and i hate to say it but i'm almost getting bored with arguing about religion over the internet.

i'm right.

no, i am.

you're narrow minded.

no, you are.

how do you explain this out-of-context bit of biblical trivia?

ha! it's all explained by this out-of-context bit of biblical trivia.

you idiot, this [waves bible passage in the air] clearly proves you're wrong!

moron! [waves quote from darwin / dawkins etc] and you're not even a real christian [cue next piece of out-of-context bit of biblical trivia]

which just shows how little you know - try out THIS out-of-context bit of biblical trivia!

grrr! personal attack!

&c &c...

By that rationale, the prerequisite for salvation is blindness.
