Typhus Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Sounds to me, that your god is a damn genocidal psycho (heck, how is he even better, than satan?). Heavy lies the head that wears the crown. You can say all you want, that doesn't change the fact that you're worshiping a murderer and a psycho. Which doesn't bother me in the slightest. He is what he is.

nlitement Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Really? You really think so? The last time Danes had some influence on English was more than a thousand years ago, and as far as I recall, we did not speak Danish back then, we spoke Old Norse, which is an ancestor to Danish, but Danish have been exceedingly been influenced by German and French later on. Indeed, the only real Danish word English have stolen from us is "kidnap". I think there is a few others too, but who's keeping score? English more heavily based on Old Norse, German, French and Latin. Which is an odd mix, which means English in several cases are quite different than other Germanic or Nordic languages. I'm well aware of that Mr. Linguistics expert. You might notice words like daughter and son are still part of English even to this very day. I don't doubt that daughter (Danish: "datter") and son (Danish: "søn") have the same origin, but I highly doubt the English versions originate from Danish, since Swedish and Norwegian and whatnot share these words quite alike. I am just saying your statement that "English originated from Danish" is very bold and very incorrect. Do you know why English uses the same word for singular and plural second person? Yeah, because people got really formal and used you a bit too much instead of thou. Hayden: Londinium. Btw. tommy vs. claude there were no significant amounts of Germanic peoples in Roman Britain. That's like saying that "the Native Americans brought Native American languages to America" = uhmm, ok, what a moot point. I think you were trying to imply that the Romans actually had influenced Germanic languages back then, but no, they really didn't do a thing, it wasn't until Romance languages split from Latin that might've influenced other language families.

Anglo-Saxons. They spoke Old English, which is closer to early Germanic than middle English.

nutboy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Besides, like Deniro said once, "If there really is a God he's gonna have a lot to explain for." And does he speak English!? Vulcans do apparently! Enough with the God talk, you cannot prove God exists or doesn't exist, it is part of his definition, which is cleverly defined by religious people to be undisprovable! Is he a he? maybe a she? black? white? mexican? All bullsh*t. You think God is some great big person. God is an entity and is of no particular race. To the guy not trying to be racist: How do black people look like monkey anymore than you do? The monkeys have black fur but not skin......Just a little advice, most of the stuff the media feeds you about black people is bull sh*t There are black people suffering in Africa but more wealthy ones to. The situationan is like your either extremly rich or poor. Seriously My friend form my old school in Nigeria has a chruch in his backyard,13 cars surrounding the house and 6 house helpers. As for the gangsta steryotype Im going to assume you have met a real black person... I wasn't being racist saying that. I'm not "technically" white myself. My mom and dad were both sicilian and therefore I have dark skin, which was caused from Moors invading Sicily years ago. And BTW I have about 3 black friends and I highly doubt you used to live in Africa because I've read some of your other posts and you seem to type in perfect english and as if you were raised in the United States. I got about 5 years on you too, kid, so don't try and act like you're trying to make me look like an idiot. You're probably just now starting highschool or about to end middle school. Oh yeah, and weren't you the one that made that topic asking why people jack off and saying that you're not ready to get into it yet, because you're not old enough? Cause I see you think you're smarter than brz59 too. First of all I dont want a flame war. I never called you racist I just forgot your username when typing my post. How does speaking good english make me seem like I was raised in the states? Let me lay it down for you born in leeds went to nigeria 3 years later came back to england a year later went to canada for 6 years nigeria for another 2 years came back to good old(but boring) britan about 6 months ago. I have never lived in the states. That staement was bullsh*t. If I have been to Africa I cant speak good english? That was what I meant! I dont know your age but that wasnt a good thing to say. I was never trying to make you out like an idiot, just trying to let you know what I thought about it. Im sorry I sounded that way. Whats brz5 got to do with this? We were just statating our religious views. got a problem with that? As for the masturbation topic, I didnt get the point at the time and even though the members who were kind enough to give me advice helped me, I still dont want to make a habit of it as it seems addictive.

Slamman Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Right up front about it, Lutheran Christian and I play GTA! I love GTA, but not for violence sake. I am a driving and car game fan. But GTA gives you all that and more. I love Uncharted too and it's all about defense, but only because you HAVE to. I recall the TC acting like a jerk for no reason so I wonder why he cares about religion!?

Alick Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Religion to me seems a way of just controlling humans. Like a law written in an infamous book to stop people doing anything that 'God' thinks is wrong. I respect beliefs but some Christians and other religious types take it to far, like Jehova's Witnesses, I don't want to sound horrible here, but people don't want these types coming round their homes and babbling their beliefs down their throats. I'm an atheist until God is proven to exist. To me Religion causes more trouble than it does good.

HolyGrenadeFrenzy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Off Topic first then On Topic after. About English as a language English has been a language of adaptation since its humble beginnings. It has ripped off each and every language it encounters and has become more dynamic instead of less by doing so. That is what all living languages do if they encounter many other tongues. Other languages do this as well yet English is known for how adaptive it is to situations and structure of communication. In truth, when people start getting upset about things from grammar to spelling it is mostly a silly thing since Modern English and Merican are so young yet they have both become more and more dynamic as they have changed into a dynamic language that is not bound by national borders and stems the distances of the entire planet and perhaps soon, beyond. In defense of nutboy! For those that like to argue with nutboy about these issues in regards to religion and faith. ------------------------------------------- On Topic There is a great deal of irony in aurguing about God. God is a topic of things ulimate and absolute and even the classic Absolutism vs Nonablsolutism doesn't solve the questions in regards to it even when the aurgument gets resolved. Absence of Proof does not Proof of Absence make. Now this aurguement can really get into some hardcore logic that is easier to avoid by changing platform. Ontology is the study of things ultimate and the ontological aurguement whish is an arguement about God is something that even this study does not allow. Yet peole persist on aurguing about such things. I myself have faith and something else in relation to God. I can not explain it to you nor can I defend it by the standards of parameters demanded by others nor do I feel it can be required for me to do so. Lest this be left to confusion I can merit this however: Belief in something and personal knowledge through experience are two completely different things yet they do have corrospondances tp and interrelations wth one another. Faith and Experience are not exclusive from one another. Both of these things are important toward any issue in life that is personal enough to warrant your investment of attention as you see fit. All of this and yet God is the supreme mathmatician. Am I christian? Am I budhist? Am I of other belief including the Native Beliefs? Do I believe in Science and Logic? Yes to all and I do not find any of these things in contest with one another and I believe the only contesting between them goes on within the minds and selfish egos of people who are in struggle with themselves and demand that others recognize the division of self for any reason they can.......so they can justify their supperiority over others. I have been many things that I am no longer as well. I have been those things without fear or remorse and I have paid a terrible price yet when I needed something Supernatural that I could not find through any means, at a critical moment, God arrived. I went from Atheist to terrified believer instantly. I would not wish my path on anyone and things only get harder after enlightenment.
