I agree though defining the "common good" sometimes can be trouble some.Quote:

Ok "m8", you tell me to learn how to form a sentence but can't do it yourself. Calling commitment as love isn't grammatically correct either yet no one cares and does it all the time for comparison. Idiot suits religious people just fine as idiot is a person who is intellectually inclined and lacks wisdom which is exactly what they are. I never claimed they are one and the same thing. Neither is being spiritual and being religious is my point. I never argued that all religions are the same, all I ever said was that they all have one thing in common god, and that is what I base religion on..no matter what kind of religion it is. If they do not have god in their religion than it really isn't as much of a religion as just someone who is spiritual as they put it.Quote:

Tell me to pick up a book? You need to pick one up and learn how to spell "guarantee", shit doesn't windows auto grammar check shit anyways these days for ****s sake?
That is irrefutable....to be religious is to study or follow a religion. So, if you believe in God but don't follow a religion, you are not religious. Why do people argue that point, it's just so stupid.Quote:

I don't consider being an agnostic 'lazy' or 'silly' (as OV was saying). I don't think of 'God' in the same way most people do, as a big conscience being in the sky. I don't believe in hell. However, It's taken a lot of time, conversations with others, and deep contemplation to sort out my 'beliefs' in my own mind. I'd hardly think of that as lazy. I put more thought into it than most atheists.
I believe in heaven and hell
Now the argument bears no fruits. You morons are just arguing the definitions of words. Is every word to be taken so literally? It's not the definitions of words which are important, but the underlying meaning in context.
It's okay, you can put the Merriam-Webster away.
Way to prove the point that religion is just another pointless label in today's crappy society! Can't have a decent conversation about anything except what 'religion' means.
Words ARE important. They are essential for communication. How can you argue about whether or not you ARE something if you don't know what it really means?
am i? muhuhaaahaa......everyone no matter whether you think it's silly has a right to say what they think within the lf rules....he has a right to say his piece and his point of view whether you like it or not...wakey wakey........chill dearQuote:

You are making me want to lobby for retroactive abortion to be legalized.
How many languages can you speak, Shh? I am assuming just English. If you studied another language, you would see how variable the meaning of a word is. There is no one definite meaning for every word.Quote:

That is not true of every language, but rather only of languages with relatively small words banks, and anyway, we are speaking English, and as such, the definition of religion has a precise meaning.Quote:

English is known for having a wide array of meanings for words. There are usually 3 separate meanings for words.Quote:

Unlike German which has 3 different words to describe what we know as "mouth".
You don't know what you're talking about, dear :P
