By beliefs are we talking something we would act on, or and idea we entertain as part of our view of the world and all that? I don't seem to have any concrete beliefs as such, but I'll try the test and see.

What say you about the extra books in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible? Maybe we're the ones that got the abridged version and they got the full one. That said, do you believe God directly meddles in human affairs? I can understand if he inspired the Bible, but not that he oversaw its compilation...

So do we have a verdict? Alternative section is go?

I suppose we can't can we? :D Anyway, how is replacement theology wrong? I wish there was a list of everything that was wrong in Christianity because it's really hard to remember it all.

I'm not anymore insulting than anyone else, in fact when I am here I make it a point to be as un-insulting as possible. It's nice that your God doesn't need you to worship Him, so don't. (Btw, I personally do not think that a being that cannot even control its base emotions is worthy of worship...

Yeah, I know that. I don't see how it is even possible to commit idolatry unless you make something and purposefully worship it as something that is not God. Whether you worship Him as some loving, merciful guy or the Godfather or even a non-anthropomorphic principle should not matter.

I have read some of the Bible and I don't see why I have to worship God as a grumpy mob boss type fellow, rather than a generally nice guy. I also fail to see what the Bible has to do with God here, seeing as how those are only words used to describe God and they are subject to interpretation...

I disagree with that. You know, I don't think that we really need a section for different sects, just a little less judgement and stifling of their message when it comes to the Christian section. Of course on second thought, I don't think that will ever happen so maybe the section is a good idea...

OK, God is love so there is no idolatry in worshipping him. So what's the problem here? In reality, since the finite cannot fathom the infinite, whatever conception you have of God is essentially an idol. Hence why some people have a problem with assigning petty human emotions to a being that is...

Yeah, that's what I wanted to know; how there were considered a Christian sect. Well, what about Gnostic Christianity? That's very popular nowadays and it is older than those sects. Of course, then you have the risk of it becoming a Gnosticism section without any connection to Christianity.

I know what U571 is, but I was wondering why that universe wasn't contacting ours. It's really conventient that ours is U1, but I bet they tell that to every universe...

How is Scientology Christian?

Doesn't the Bible itself say God is love? How is worshipping that God idolatry then?

What is even wrong with JW? How does their translation differ from the KJV? You guys seem to have a pretty strong opinion about it. I know its off topic but I want to understand.

Pagans is a broad term, depending on who you are. For Christians it would be everyone who's not a Christian, but I think I understand you. If I may, I will answer this to the best of my ability: No, they don't sing gay tree songs any more than other people sing gay tree songs. What would be the...

Elaborate please, both on the term "you people" and the nature of the songs in the Wickerman.

So, what makes God any different from a normal person with infinite power, knowledge, etc? Why even side with a person like this if He's going to be like that? Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n as they say. Also, has it occurred to you that perhaps your conception of God may be the...

I would say that this will not be received too well here by certain people. I, personally, do not believe he is far off-base too much at all.

What the heck is going on? What are you people talking about? What about U3 or U571? I, for one, was angry then depressed today, followed by a little of despair then acceptance, followed by hunger. They picked a fine day for this thing to happen.
