Demonic Company... well, I don't work for one of those, but the students can be hell sometimes. And I'm just the technie!
Don't get me wrong, I like kids as much as the next person, it is just that I am in a Middle school... the purgatory of all schools. I mean you have the elementry, which those kids are just comming into learning, then there is the intermediate, that is just where the kids now know that there is a school and don't like it. I am in the middle of all the hatered that is pointed towards school and all that is not good. Hisgh school is a different story. They are so close to the end it is not funny. So, yeah demonic kids... ugh

Try going through your last semester as a computer science major. 100% pure hell.

My view on religion (i like that label better than theology....), is that there is no God, but an energy that surrounds us and is a part of us and everything else. The little subconscious things (stuffy air, confined space) that make you feel a certain way in a certain environment.... collectively those things produce the energy of your atmosphere you're in. And just as that energy exists for the atmosphere you're in, it also exists inside every individual. Some may call if farfetched, but if you pry open your third eye a little, it may make some sense.

God is a belief and Religion is a Faith.


Both are immune to rational thought and logical reasoning.

No offense to all you guys but I think people should really know their stuff about religion before commenting on it. I've heard so many people say, "oh there's no God" or "the Bible is all fake." To me it's pretty ignorant. That's like me saying "laws regarding relativity are nonsense and Einstein was full of it" without EVER taking at least 2 years of physics. Not enough people know about religion enough to comment on it.

I have an associates degree in Computer Networking Sciences.. so.. yeah.

The whole religion thing:
Personally I think that people are going to think and believe what they are going to believe whether they have been fed what to believe all their lives or if they just want to break awayfrom the norm. Either way, religious beliefs will always be around as long as humans are and that will be for quite a while.

Like I said earlier, my mom is a catholic, daddy catholic (conformed from baptist) and I am a jedi (padawan). My parents do not like what I have chosen, saying that what I believe is wrong and that it is just a made up religion, and I just tell them that what they believe is wrong and yet they still argue. The truth is, that no matter what happens, everyone is entitled to their own stupid opinion and no one has to like it except the person that it came from.

I keep silent about what religion I take, believing in your own is good enough.
But who doesn't ask the question: "What are we doing here?"
Or "Who am I really?" It's the life questions that bothers us. So we make it up with religions and find our answers there.

That's how I think about it.

Religion is fun to talk about but most people get shy when it comes to this topic.


Not sure why. But that is what I see.

I think it's about what history has teached us. Many thought about "righteous" doings and killed millions. Some even killed a deity or two.
Most issues still exist today and that is still killing people, perhaps not where you live. But it is 1000 m. away.

And say you were this total stranger and you see a man walk by in strange clothing, wouldn't you say: "he looks weird" or "What's his religion?"

but how many people in the world will really go up to someone and ask 'what is your religion?'


I have had that happen to me once and it was funnier than hades. He asked me 'do I believe in god?' and I said that I was jedi and that I believe what I want, waved my hand infront of his face (trying the mid trick, didn't work) and walked away. He shouted (in the middle of a crowded place) YOU WILL BURN IN THE FIRES OF HELL! I turned back around and told him that I believe what I believe and that he should rethink what it is that he is saying and walked away once more. That time he left me alone.

I think that religion is something that the masses should not decide, but what every single person should find out for themselves. It should not be pushed on another person. If they want to be like you, then let them follow. If they want to stop you, gladly step to the side.

I had the chance to watch it with my friends but unfortuneately I had no time due to school. I heard it was great though from my friends. What makes it more interesting is that I can understand Arimaic(at least some of it). Me and my friends are all Coptic Orthodox(main group of christianity in Egypt) and so we all know how to speak in Arabic. And interestingly enough Arabic and Aremaic have similar origins so many of the words are the same. Too bad I didnt see it though. I will probably see it though once its on DVD.

Another interesting note is how the media said the movie would failed. Guess that didnt happen. That movie just made millions of dollars, most of which goes to Mel Gibson instead of movie makers because they thought it would be contraversial.

What does every1 else think about the movie?

I think that most people went to see it because they were curious about it. You know. I know i was. I didn't like it though. Some of the stuff, they put wasn't even in the bible. There was a monster in the movie, it was only there for a couple of seconds, but come on. It's the first time I see a movie about Jesus that's rated "R".
