This video has suffered some severe trolling by Atheists.


Somehow it keeps popping up in the featured video list. You can either take it as an inspiring story of a person who managed to find a purpose in life OR, as this comment eloquently puts it:

Hillsong is like, MONEY NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM

lol i like the comment about the Giraffes  it made me laugh

@alexlati1 Trust me I have researched evolution for hours on end. Heres some simple concepts that sound pretty silly.

Woodpeckers, yeh? Their toungs rap around the back of their brain to absorb the shock. So one day a woodpecker was born with a mutated toung that somehow raps around its brain?

Giraffes, ok so they gradually grew taller and taller to get the leaves at the top, yeh simple. But if they weren't tall enough to begin with, they would all just die? Think about it.

Its just Silly.

Interesting how Christians are trying to now justify hobbies and activities that would otherwise be frowned upon by the Church if they just dedicate it to Jesus.

[Who_ate_my_rice]

LOOL  kinda weird lol

just call it pole dancing for hecks sake hahah

and as for frowned upon by the church, you should see tiwas video about trouble in amish paradise lol.   now that's a crazy church.  lucky that particular amish guy in the video has his head on straight.

[Tiwaking!]

you should see tiwas video about trouble in amish paradise lol.   now that's a crazy church.

Wait a second.

I completely agree with the Old Order Amish and think everyone else is crazy and destined for hell fire.

Give me one reason why I shouldnt believe that the Old Order Amish are wrong.

[Who_ate_my_rice]

well watch the video bro.  That guy they interview tells you why its out of wack.

what you're supposed to be doing is following Jesus.  Not a church with strange suspender rules.

[Tiwaking!]

well watch the video bro.  That guy they interview tells you why its out of wack.

Church has too many rules. Doesnt want to follow so many rules when salvation should be free for everyone.

This is the argument that all religions try out on people. So, what do you do? Break out of the religion and join another with like minded individuals?


Atheists either never opted in or simply opt out of the silly game of religion. Because that is all religion is: A game.

A game where the true cost is not your soul, it is the quality of life you want for yourself and everyone you hold dear.

[Ngati_Grim]

I thought it was more like a really bad zombie movie without enough funding to finish it off.

[Who_ate_my_rice]

Tiwa lol thats not checkmate.   He's talking about, how you put it the Old Order Amish.  Not every church under the sun.

Old Order Amish is just man.  Man made rules.  man speaking into peoples life.

I have never seen anyone say, well i stumbled because we were taking out teachings out of the bible.   hahahaha it just wont happen.

What people don't want to realise is that Jesus is the way the truth and the life.   What he has done for us makes it possible for us to enter heaven.  not all the good deeds we do, or all the fancy outreach we do for churches etc.   You're relationship with God needs to be the most important thing.  

Going to church every sunday doesn't make you a christian. Just like going to mc donalds every sunday doesn't make you a cheese burger.  

Now im not saying churches are bad.  Infact its important for your spiritual growth.  Churches are places where we go to learn about the word, Praise and worship god, share in our spritual gifts( healing, miracles, testimonies, prophesies, etc) helping people, and for getting help.  

if a member of a church has a problem with what the pastor is saying or if the leadership is doing something wrong.  IT IS THEIR DUTY TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT.    It is their responsibility to check up on what's being taught using the word of God.

Follow Jesus.  Not a pastor or organization.  but arrgh i;ve sung this song on this thread a few times already.

and Ngati...

Its a documentary and it isnt finished

[BerG.]

My girlfriend comes from a religious family. When she was young and forced to go to church, the pastor was telling her that when he was young one of his legs was longer than the other. So he prayed and prayed and prayed, then, right there in front of his eyes, his short leg grew to be as long as the other one!

I'm thinking he's speaking metaphorically. 'Short leg' means 'penis'. And 'prayed' means 'watched hardcore interracial anal porn'.

Old Order AmishReligion is just man.  ManReligion made rules.  manReligion speaking into peoples life.

Fixed.

All religions are the same. Cant throw a stone without hitting a miracle. Cant prove events happen. Cant predict future events. No more relevant than the Moon Man.

Odd,

Non-beleivers in this thread debate the fallacies inherent in religion. They debate the reason why the idea of a deity should not be adhered to, not necessarily that there is plainly NO GOD.

However Rice seems to take the approach that there is, without doubt a God, and it is his God and then spends his posts passively praising his God.

Interesting observation is interesting.

The problem lies in these three stages:

Implementation - Religion fails to secure a good quality of life for all, ALL living beings. i.e Kill non-believers or simply condemn them to an afterlife of eternal torment (with some exceptions like Hindu's, Jews or Mormons for instance).
Execution - Religion fails to practice the "peace, brotherhood and friendship" that it preaches or demonstrate what, if any, true benefits it has to offer. Praying doesnt bring people back from the dead, but medicine does.

Maintenance - God isnt dead. God was never there. Like a room labelled 'Janitors Closet' which never actually had a janitor assigned to it.

[Who_ate_my_rice]

lol yer Retardo, its impossible for me to deny the existance of God just because of what i've seen and been through.  Having a lot of friends who are atheist i don't find it weird that they don't believe in God.  I've found that everyone who doesn't believe all have their own personal reason for doing so.  Whether they saw something happen, experienced something, or they are the type of person who believes that if it cant be measured it doesnt exist.  Everyone has their own reason.  My Father didn't believe in God for most of his life.   This is until he started to actually see things changing in his life and his families.

I guess im lucky that i've been able to see God work.  because of the things i've seen and experienced there is little doubt in my mind that God exists.  

Atheist will say, well thats just a part of the human disease.  The yerning for soemthing more in life.   but i disagree.

wrong about the mormons.  If joseph smith doesn't write you a certificate of worthiness or what ever.  you can't go to heaven.
hinduisim is just getting reincarnated, recycling universe styles.

as for Christianity, if you accept what Jesus done for you, as in died for your sins past present and future on the cross.  Then you will get into heaven provided you also submit yourself to God.  I found this good video here that you might like to watch... chances are you wont want to watch it but i'll post it anyway

Execution - Religion fails to practice the "peace, brotherhood and friendship" that it preaches or demonstrate what, if any, true benefits it has to offer. Praying doesnt bring people back from the dead, but medicine does.

Not all religions want to practice peace, brotherhood and friendship.  Its silly to assume that they all want to follow this.    

as for Christianity, yes we need to practice this.  Unfortunately you're always going have people who rip people off/ harm people/ kill and claim they believe in God.  Thats just Man.

Matthew 22:36-40 (New International Version, ©2011)
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”  37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

From a personal stand point, i can forget myself at times because of stress when dealing with people and/or work.  so i may start swearing at people, and possible want to punch people.  But i also accept that i am wrong when i do these things and its my responsibility to correct myself and try my hardest to stop it from happening again.  What you'd call repenting.

as christians, everyone looks at us.  everyone looks at what i do.  wanting to see how we react to certain situations or how we act in public etc.     We are all human, and suffer from human traits.  What the bible calls the flesh.  

We are all called to kill off our flesh daily.  And to try and live like Jesus.  

Maintenance - God isnt dead. God was never there. Like a room labelled 'Janitors Closet' which never actually had a janitor assigned to it.

But tiwa thats just your opinion
