Convert me

[Divinus Arma]

So, convince me why I should embrace your belief system.

Give me a logical and convincing argument why your particular existential perspective is the correct one.

Seriously.

[Byzantine Prince]

You are special.

[scooter_the_shooter]

I will give you a loli pop if you become a christian!

[yesdachi]

I will give you a loli pop if you become a christian!

That probably would have worked better than the old “or burn in hell” line.

[Byzantine Prince]

What I gathered from reading too much Nietzsche is that you should create your own belief system and hold it for yourself only. Sharing it will only lead to problems.

EDIT: Creating your own doesn't mean combining a lot of other ones into a main one. It means going from the basics and building up to create something original.

if you turn to... hmm... Naturealism... ill let one of my female friend pour thousand island dressing over you and spank you while calling you "mr. poffendorf".

... yeah, thats kinda weird.

[Kekvit Irae]

There is no god. Become Athiest and concentrate on improving yourself and others around you in the material world, rather than just to score points for the afterlife.

[Papewaio]

Genes and memes these are the themes that thou shall follow to be an immortal fellow.

Don't just concentrate on what you are today, think about you can create that will last beyond yourself.

The world is unfair, that is our oppourtunity.
Every time we do a good deed that is a single drop in a land that needs an ocean of positive change.
Once we create a fairer idea through charity or law we create a stream of good deeds.

If you can leave behind a mechanism that creates good deeds then I say that is a life well spent.

become a spuddist and worship the potato bringer of chips and roast potatos... seriously though just do what you think is right is my 'religion'

No.

The Holy Church of the Sun Koyote, members 2. We believe that a gigantic Koyote lives in the Sun, and he is God. Why would he live in the Sun you ask? So he can control it, for the Sun is the giver of life and destroyer of worlds. If you convert, then i'll tell you the basic rules of the religion and how to worship.

[Divinus Arma]

Well this thread is taking a huge dump. Ask a stupid question.

[GoreBag]

Well, DA, a real conversion is messy at best. There's more to a religion than an ideal; it's part of a culture and is only changed or separated with much difficulty. Besides, you asked no specific question. "If a man does not know where he sails, no wind is favourable."

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Become a traditionalist catholic and not only dissent from the modern church (for being too liberal), but also be able to declare a crusade and retake the Holy Land! Huzzah!

Though I'm thinking of giving up on Catholicism after something Mr. Pope-Nazi just did.

[Lehesu]

Anyone too lazy to do some honest research (a thread on the Org is not research) on the most commonly held belief systems to figure out if any of them work for him probably isn't serious enough to actually join any of them with any degree of sincerity.

I think the point is to get you thinking, that's why Div makes these threads.

[ArcticSonata]

The Religion of 42 learn the answer to everything.

Okay so in reality Christianity. I know I could spend forever going opn about why Christianity, but in all honesty it not going to make a difference unless you choose two. If you want me to though I will.

Okay first the 70 Virgins when you kill the infedels with a car bo........oh wait thats the muslims is'nt.... damn!

Resistance is futile. Convert.

[Tachikaze]

Religions, doctrine, and scripture are just clutter. They are distractions from the simplicity of the Tao. There is nothing to believe in, not even the Tao. There is only what's all around you all the time. It all lies before you and requires no religious explanation or scientific proof to understand. And it exists whether you believe it or not, or whether you exist or not.

I would try to convert you to my political views, but I have to finish making a drum.

See any thinking going on?

Do you mind my asking what he did?

[Adrian II]

Do you mind my asking what he did?

Could only be one thing. Pope has defended Darwin, saying creationism is a silly excess of fundamentalism.

Excuse me.






It's true, too. Mwahahahahahahahahhaaaaaa!!!!

[BDC]

Life is only chemistry. There is no supernatural. There is nothing special about humans. We are completely insignificant and have no purpose. There is no afterlife, no destiny, no divine.

Although whiskey is good.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I encourage you to become a Christian. I would suggest reading some of C.S. Lewis's books on Christianity as one way to begin. Another would be going to a local church and talking with the priest/minister.

Why not a large number of friendly, experienced young ladies?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Well apparently Jihading doesn't leave a lot of time for more...ehem...social experiences and the holy warriors wouldn't want to be, you know, embarrased in their...shall we say, lack of knowledge?

Don't have a religion persay. Just be as nice to your fellow man as possible and you'll have a great life...

[solypsist]

you can't say no to him.
