"The Passion" Open Mind View

[wlaukaitis]

Thank you Gasketman for your reply.

I ask you, in your spare time, to get a bible: NIV, Good News, New American Standard, or even on the WEB and read the book of John, then report back and tell me what you think. The King James is the original translated into english and the most difficult to understand, but give it a shot!

I don't mean to be rude but you say "I am not sure how close it is to the Bible..." Which means you haven't even looked into the issue, If you are open minder then this shouldn't be a big deal.

I want to apolgize if it (Christianlty) has been forced on you by anyone. Have a look at Matthew 28:18-20 or Mark 16:15-18!

Just curious, Do you think Christ would have bought a GN/T-Type and modded the crap out of it or would he have driven a GNX completely stock?

 

[wlaukaitis]

Considering he entered Jerusalem on a donkey, I think he would drive something more humble.

 

[smallv6]

oh, yeah, like a Honda

Jesus built my hotrod! I look forward to seeing the movie....from what I hear so far it is fairly accurate to the bible, except one line that was considered anti-semetic. The same story can be interpreted in many ways, so don't be quick to judge the movie and see for yourself. If you haven't read the bible and dont know the story, then you really should before making any assumptions. It is a good read, and the biggest best seller of all time

It was funnier the way I saw it:

Jesus loves you....everybody else thinks you're an a$$hole!

I think you took my post out of context. I have read the bible and I was raised christian. I'm just not an expert on the bible to match it to the movie script. I will find what you mentioned and let you know what I think.

I bought my Turbo Buick new and I'm on a turbo Buick board. 1 post or 1000 I'm still not a troll here. Strange comment from a non-Buick owner Guess what I was raised christian.

That was exactly my point. This guy is not here to debate. The debate has been old for quite some time and no one is changing their minds. This guy is doing nothing more than trying to get under people's skin. Calling the Bible a fairytale comes to mind. Notice how many people are no longer replying. It's time for gasketboy to get a life.

It may be old if you don't want to here it. But many here will still post. It will fall back in a few days and I agree the topic will get played out. How many times have we seen " What is the TPS setting" Do we tell him to get lost!!!

What's sad is once everyone gets sick of this thread, I can see Gasketman replying to himself over and over. Or will he start another religion bashing topic? Maybe another username so he can argue with himself?

I thought Christians are taught to love everyone. Seems like you have some issues or insecurities with your beliefs. I only started this post to continue the movie review and what some thought about it. The other thread was deleted by the starter and reopened for Christian views only. I respected that and stayed out. I offered this thread out of respect for him so opposing view can be posted here.

Jesse I agree with you 100%. I will try my best to keep it civil. I hope you feel the sameway when they come in here and attact my civil views. I hope you warned Cool84 and NJTurbo That I have a right not to be christian. I hope they can follow Raven's and a few others as an example how to discuss religion in an adult manner. Thanks again for looking out for us..

As I tried to point out in the other thread, I too believe that you are entitled to your own beliefs. But to call someone else's beliefs a "fairy tale" is a direct attack on someone's faith. I may not agree with YOUR beliefs, but it would be wrong for me to start a thread just to tell you how I think you're a tard for thinking the way you do...now wouldn't it?
Get a life, move on, and maybe we can get back to talking about turbo Buicks. At least wait until you have more than 20 posts here before you start stirring up trouble.

I called the movie a fairytale not religion. This was only a thread for the movie review. It's strange how If I don't believe in your christian religion I need to get a life. I have one But I do agree with some that it doesn't belong here. So lets keep ALL religion and ALL non- believers views off the board.

So, just be a grown up and ask for a review of the movie. The fairy tale part is better left unsaid. I've been around the Buick community for many years and I've found that most people here don't act like you. If you want to fit in around here, keep in mind the "Fast with CLASS" part of the TR community. Just some friendly words of advice.

It's strange how nasty such nice people can become when they don't get their way.

One thing that such threads bring out is the hypocrisy that lives within so many.

There is no law that says that each and every person has to declare himself a member of any particular religion and there is no official religion in this country let alone this board.

There is no prequisite that I am aware of that post count grants certain privileges beyond an avatar, either.

It seem to me that there would be a couple less "Christians" here if membership in the faith required that one actually had to practice the tenets of the religion.

Perhaps we should work more on our own shortcomings rather than cursing the beliefs, or lack of belief, of others.

Nah...that would never work!

Cool, I'm glad we agree. That's exactly what I was saying.

So grown up is not to post about a movie. Take a scroll of a few pages here in the lounge and see some of the topics.90% of the questions here can be answered from a book or newspaper. But people like to converse with others here. What's the point of the lounge if not to share thoughts. I also been around for a long time and most don't try and silence others. How can that be fast with class. I will give you one point about the fairytale maybe a bit much. But when I've been told over and over that I can only think and act the Christian way it made me a little mad.
