Well, my main point is that non christian or not, it is more meaningful than Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and other garbage that just sing about a 'good time' if you know what I'm talking about....  hmm

Good point your right, its better than that

Which points?
And, anyway, to put my response in a kind, not insulting nutshell:

12three wrote:

If Christians followed Christian rules 24/7, the world would be SO much better.

"So much better" for everyone?
So, Christians following their "rules" will change the world? What exactly makes you think that?
Also, I believe the world would be a much much better place without any religion at all.. (Not to offend anyone. It just would.. It'd make one less thing to argue about.)

To some people, having a good time might be more important than religion

Cursing

Thats not really a big problem, either.

Cursing basically proves that humans are too dumb to come up with less intense words to use.

And finding it hard to respond appropriately proves some of my points.  hmm

Good point. And also i agree if we follow christainaty 24/7 the world would be a better plece, in Iraq they would bew able to take thier dog out for a walk without being scared to death, i agree with 12Three

@Rufflebee and Blade
Stop saying that I'm posting flame bait because I'm NOT. And also, Recycle told me earlier that he was posting a topic that MIGHT cause flaming, and he wanted to see if I agreed.

And as I said several times before, I'm mainly referring to the none-worship rules that Christians, and every other religion, including athiesm follow. Golden rule is the main one. Ringing a bell?

Not that I would, but that is just asking for a flame. People on Scratch are famous because their stuff is good, and "good" is an opinion. And no need to be all profound about this. I could sum up that whole TL;DR post in 2 sentences.

I sort of agree. my whole family are atheists, i guess that's why.  hmm  but if there was no religion, it would make the world better, because:
-Science would be taken more seriously, so better education.
-One less thing to make fun of someone about; their beliefs.
-Less suicide. People DO commit suicide hoping to go to heaven or somewhere better, which they might if that's what you believe.

That's everything I can think of right now.  tongue  Hope I'm not offending anyone. I think i might bring up some of these topics in my Social Studies class's Socratic Seminar on Wednesday.  big_smile  These are some good points!

And, 12three, I think you are basically describing the world in the song 'Imagine' by John Lennon. I don't know why, it just reminds me of it.  tongue

Actually, he dislikes John Lennon because he said the Beatles were more popular than christianity or something.
But, the song Imagine is pretty much my view on the world.

My whole family is Catholic, yet I still think the world could do (Quite well) without religion. And every day, my opinion is reinforced more and more.
And I agree with you. (Except for on that last part.. I think suicide is a sin or something, but I don't know.)

Yes.
However, it's not like I'm always going to hold that against him, as this song does support many of my statements.

I'm going to provide you with two examples. I'm not going to say the name of the creator, but you should be able to figure it out.

There was one of a spinning cat; more than six hundred views.
One of The creator saying there were two hidden meanings in the project, all of a sudden THE GAME.

That one has at least eight hundred. Deserving? I think not.  hmm
