This applies to Samius too:

I have not spoken to Torok very much, and haven't done so in QUITE a while, but when I did she was a nice person who was kind to others. I would even jokingly talk in calls about religion and she would mostly be cool with it, simply expressing disagreement and moving on. I don't believe that she has absolute hatred for anybody (it's against her faith regardless), and that she just takes her faith to an extreme level and needs to cool it down. Otherwise she seems like a normal teenage girl.

She's not a bad person and she doesn't hate anybody. If she did, she wouldn't be trying to "save" us.


I was stating why people seem to find the things torok says offensive, it's not that I personally think she hates anybody.
She's a nice girl when she's not trying to tell people what they should and should not believe.

2. I know about the founding fathers and it is very sad.
The money that says: "In God we trust." The military had a bunch of things mentioning God: Oaths, their rifles had Bible verses on them, they were permitted to pray and see chaplains. The government prayed to God before meetings.
All those things in #2 are going away, the military and Gov is turning to Islam now instead of Christianity...

"Sin" is a "problem" but the Pope would rather focus on the good deeds that those people have done rather than harp on one thing that they do "wrong".

He's stated that he is fine with atheists as long as they are good people. Would you seriously throw away any good deeds that someone does simply because they are an atheist and that's apparently a sin?



That one thing may be leading someone to Hell. Our own righteousness is as filthy rags.
No one is good, not one. Only God and Jesus are ever good. We humans aren't even at the shallow end of what good means.

1: Keyword, SOME. I had to take attend some assembly in 5th grade (age 10) that explained sex and was basicly planned parenthood. Didn't pay attention though, they handed out paperwork to go with the vid, so I neglected the vid trying to do the paper and got a recap from a friend during lunch, but I digress. You said it was a planned parenthood, I doubt it was given to 5 year olds, likely the older crowd that was in the highest grade level at the school. I also doubt it flat out taught them to jack-off.

What's wrong with telling them about homosexuality? It's not something we have to shelter and hide from kids. It's a fact and something they should know about.

2: Seriously? Now you're gonna be racist against people who support Islam? Who said that was the county's main religion? American is full of Christians, Atheists, Jews, and other things besides Islam.

wow congrats you officaily know nothing about Islam. Why? Because women were slaves before Islam. Not even slaves just strictly tied to gender roles in their society.

Look here:
"And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision."
(An-Nahl 16:58-59)

It says that treating women like slaves and dirt is indeed bad nature, in fact evil. Besides, it's not the religion that affects the gender roles, it's the society in the underdeveloped region. do some research.

NOW ONTO THIS AND THIS

HO HO HO MADAM I DO THINK YOU ARE DROWINING IN ICE COLD WATER HERE BECAUSE YOU JUST CRASHED FROM THIN ICE.

Have you learned absolutely nothing from preachings? Literally my church spent an entire half of the year (which is honestly a long time) trying to teach our community that you shouldn't be bitter or resentful towards any living creature. That Atheists, Gays, Trans, Bisexuals, etc. are all children of God and should be treated as such. What happened to that "Love thy neighbor" stuff you got taught in grade school?

You might be saying "oh you're an atheist you know nothing". On the contrary, I am actually quite religious and have worked about 3 years as an Altar Server. I take the lessons and preachings they say personally and seriously, which is why I get mad at people who take them wrongly.

People like you. You even took that "I love you the way I made you" statement so wrong that I feel insulted. God has a plan for everything, and the way you turn out is how it is meant to be. Sometimes it will seem it will go off track, but that's fine. He still loves and forgives you. Seriously, why is that so hard to get into your thick skull?

And that "everyone is so full of sin that animals don't reflect God's will" is just a bunch of bull. Everything, everyone, is a child of God, whether they believe it or not. That's fine. Nothing is "full of sin" because there is always good to balance out the bad and that is God's plan.

Love and joy and happiness will always find bitter events because that is God's will. God's will is not "I love everyone....except you you and you", but it is indeed "I love everyone, and everything. No matter who you are, or what you choose to be. I will always welcome you to our dinner table, as long as you bring the leftovers to others who couldn't or choose not to come".

omg, torok, "love thy neighbor as you would love thyself"



"If you do judge, judge righteeously."
“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God." and I'm pretty sure getting a sex change also applies there too.

And why does EVERYONE ignore the reality that Jesus Himself is a Hellfire preacher!?

No sin shall enter the kingdom of Heaven. Check the verses in my sig if you're so quick to spit bible verses at me.

Am I hating you all because I say that you are on a path to Hell if you do not stop offending God and yourself with your sins? Am I a bigot because I say no homosexual shall enter heaven? It's right there in Jesus' words. Look it up with my sigs help.



Torok, seriously, have you even met a transgender person? Do you even know why they change gender? All I am saying is that you're spewing hate towards others, which is also against the Bible's word.

Let's put it this way:
If you were to bleed and they were to bleed, the same color of blood would spill out of your veins. You really aren't that much different.

God is NOT ok with His creation being twisted!

Ex of twisting creation: "I want to be a man cause I've always felt like one but I was born a woman."

Non-ex: "My arm was blown off by a bomb I want a prosthetic."

Ex: "Let's splice this tomato with elephant genes and see what happens."

Non-ex: "Lets put poison on this plant so the bugs don't eat it."

See the difference? I hope you do, I hope everyone does cause I'm sick of answering dumb questions.

Here, I'll say it in simpler terms: Born with penis where it's supposed to be= DON'T "FIX" IT.
Paralyzed from the waist down= Get a wheelchair/assistance/helper monkey/dog and keep God in your life.

I hope that clears everything up.



Okay, serious question:
Did you really come here for Spyro or is this another place you decided to **** religion all over? You seem like you never spoke a word about the original purpose for joining. I know this is irrelevant, but please answer sincerely.



My original purpose for coming here was because I love Spyro. I have moved away from Spyro and dedicated my time here for friends, stories, RPing and (As ridiculous as it may sound) educating all of you when I get the chance with God's Word.


moving away from spyro is like moving away from god

I really have no problem either, my only concern is that it could be on a bit of a slippery slope. By that I mean, something else regarding marriage could stem off of that, and then another thing, and then another thing, and so on. To the point where polygamy has pretty much returned, maybe we have people marrying animals, or maybe 10 year olds getting married. Of course, this all wouldn't happen just a couple months or even a couple years after legalizing same sex marriage.But it could expand to the point in which marriage is flat out chaotic.

To the point where polygamy has pretty much returned, maybe we have people marrying animals, or maybe 10 year olds getting married. Of course, this all wouldn't happen just a couple months or even a couple years after legalizing same sex marriage.But it could expand to the point in which marriage is flat out chaotic.

is this real life

I want to know how many people here are for Trans* rights here and are totally okay with it.

Y'all can have opinions but don't shoot your guns.



I'm okay with it
I fully support it.

What I DON'T support is the mentality going around Tumblr about how "oh, I'm Trans and oppressed, its perfectly OK to go tell white straight people to go and kill themselves."

slippery slope is literally a type of logical fallacy hon


No it's not.


that is not engaging the issue at hand and is shifting the attention to extreme hypotheticals that lack proof



Again, I didn't say that these extreme hypotheticals would happen the day after we legalize same sex marriage. The big point is, once we allow one thing (in this case, same sex marriage) there is NO GOING BACK. The only thing we can do is EXPAND. It COULD (Keyword: could) happen eventually. Of course there's no proof that it WILL. Back in the 1830s, the idea of slavery being abolished seemed extreme, and nobody had any proof that it would happen later in 1865 from the 13th Amendment. The point is, once you give the government the power to legalize one thing, there's NO GOING BACK when you legalize something. They COULD, just COULD expand it.

Highly unlikely. Escpecially regarding your "hypotheticals" in the post you're talking about. Your only support in the above was on something regarding discrimination, as is same- sex marriage. The hypotheticals in your earlier post were completely unrelated to equality.

Again, the point is, there is NO GOING BACK. Once we get set in that direction, we can't change things. And with so many people seeking change in the legal system, there is always a CHANCE of it. I say CHANCE because this is really my only concern on same sex marriage.

So are you saying that once the government legalizes same-sex marriage, after a while people will want some other stuff legalized? If you are...I completely agree.
