ok, here's the easy steps to make your life better at church(assuming you can't avoid it)

1) bring phone or other handheld device
2) use handheld device until service is over
3) when your mom asks what you liked about the service say "I thought that the pastor did a good job interpreting the bible. Now I understand what it says much better"
4)Repeat steps one through three changing the quote every week.
Oh for *censored.3.0*'S SAKE.

Do you, do you even realize how stupid that option is? For one, there are several ways to interpret passages in the Bible, saying that just makes you look like an ignorant fool.

For two, she doesn't *censored.3.0*ing believe it. It's like reading a manual for a phone you don't *censored.3.0*ing have and never intend on getting.

For THREE, I'm pissed and felt like adding a third.
She wanted help.
We're giving possible options.
YOU'RE flaming like an idiot.

See the problem?
Coffee, do what you think is right.
Flaming like an idiot? He's not flaming, he's telling people how stupid what they said was. [/quote]<3

And no, she can't do what she wants, which is why this topic was made in the first place.

Believe it or not, you can buy a Bible and read it on your own.

You know, that thing you never thought to do because you've been spoonfed your entire life?

I go to a great church, with two brilliant priests and its a wonderful community, you have absolutely no right to call going to mass 'spoonfed'.

Youre right Ive never read the bible on my own, but its the priests job to teach it to everyone, and to explain it as well, and hes does a good one as well, now grow up, theres absolutely no need to say things like that about religion.

Yes, actually, it is being spoonfed, you're being told what ambiguous text such as the Bible means when it could have any number of interpretations, and you don't bother to find one on your own.

I never said your priests weren't brilliant, they worked hard to spoonfeed you.

No, it wasn't an insult. Unless the truth is insulting.

Oh my God, I cant believe what bull that is, if youve ever been to a church youd see just how wrong you actually are.

The priests never say 'And this part of the bible means...'

They talk about the way we should put the morals they teach their into practice.

You have absolutely no right to tell me what goes on in church, unless you go there regularly and have some proof of what youre saying.

I have been to church, for a rather large portion of my life. They told us what to take from a piece of Scripture. That's being spoonfed. I also went to a private school where, for one hour and thirty minutes every day, we would be forced to memorize verses, read the Bible, and then be told what it meant. They covered it up with other meaningless tasks.

I don't know what type of sermons your pastor is giving, but then again, I didn't go and tell you what they did, either.

EDIT: Also, don't use God's name in vain while making an argument on how wonderful church is.

You said they were spoonfeeding me, and well, Im not the most religious guy in the world, and I completely disagree with somrthings the pope says.

But, still if you expect to be pleased with everything you learn in your religion, youd need to start your own one.
Youre expected to take everything you learn with a pinch of salt, because if you sit there and take it word for word, the odds are youll find it hard to believe

A lesson = spoonfeeding

You seem to think it's a complex form of teaching and an insult as well, when it isn't either.

Also, it seems like you think that I just absolutely MUST abide by every single standard and believe every single thing a religion tells me to in order to follow it, when really it holds no authority over me in that respect and I am free to make my own conclusions about the Bible and its message.

Please, stop assuming I'm just hating on religion, I'm hating on most religious people.
