I'm sorry sir, it appears I owe you an apology. I do sincerely apologise for the majority of my comments above. Your writing shows a decent understanding of the Port Arthur massacre and my comments regarding your intellect were a little hasty and obviously unfounded.
As one of the other forum members wrote once:
"Here is a stick. Beat me for my ignorance" :D
Sorry dude.
However no matter how many statistics or conspiracy theories you throw at me, if he didn't have a gun I doubt that it would have been a massacre. If he had had a baseball bat it would have been the "Port Arthur assault" perhaps. And that's the bottom line. But, each to their own I suppose.
Erm...I suggest you look up the meaning of "occult" in a reputable dictionary. Particularly in relation to Christianity. Your info on Port Arthur is good. Your info on Christianity is not so good. As I said, each to their own. I guess the difference between you and me is I have been an atheist (15 years), and I am now a Christian. So I can speak with a little authority on both counts. By all means, slag off at the church. I myself have been a victim of church politics and the bullsh!t that one often finds in the institution. In fact I'd be inclined to agree that the church is too ritualistic.Quote:
Straight Blast- First lets get this out in the open my nutless mate from down under, christianity is an occult practice, sorry to bust your bubble but it fits the descrition, christianity is a cult movement and there followers use occult practices and rituals.
But Christianity is not. Slag it when you know something about it. I would rather make peace between us (note I have not slagged atheists or other beliefs) but please don't expect me to respect the irreligious views of a man who looks in the mirror and sees God each morning? Even though he doesn't believe in God?
I don't want a religious debate. Apology offered in all sincerity.
Peace be with you
