I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky. I think about it every night and day. Spread my wings and fly away.

i always say, i'd rather believe in God and be wrong than not believe and be wrong.

The one question we can't answer when somebody asks is "where did God come from?"

I'd rather believe God simply WAS than to believe the entire universe simply was.

I believe in God and I believe in the second coming of God/Christ. Its called faith. Yes I have doubt's and questions. I wouldn't be human If I didn't.

its been coming for about 2000 years. every religious group discounts every other and says that they're the true believers. they'll discount every other god but can't seem to understand why people would discount theirs.
pot keeps coming to my door spreading anti kettle propaganda and trying to convert me.

i think that if christ were to come back today, all of you that sit and wait and preach and judge would be the first to pin him back up, chastise him, and call him a fraud.

Reminds me of a South Park bit...

Bunch of people are in hell, waiting in line at the firey gates and the jew, catholic and muslim look at the gatekeeper and ask "why am I here? I was a devout catholic (or jew, etc)?"

Gatekeeper responded "The answer to that question was....mormon. Yup, Mormonism was the real religion, thanks for playing though!"

I've never agreed with this statement.

If even part of your belief in God is based on the fear of the consequences of not believing...then you haven't truly accepted him into your heart and chances are very good that we (meaning I the atheist and you the "believer") are going to suffer the same consequences in the afterlife (assuming God does exist for the sake of argument). Going thru the motions of claiming to have accepted God on the basis of attempting to avoid eternal damnation (if this even occurs in the afterlife, which isn't agreed upon even amongst believers) isn't a true belief or a true acceptance of faith.

If you remove eternal damnation and judgment day from the equation would you still believe?

I would rather be steadfast in my convictions regardless of consequence than let fear dictate my life and use religion as a crutch.

That's my opinion, anyways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This may be the time or the place....but what is it exactly that you believe in.

I'm not really that religious...just an inquiry into the mind of squeak

It's the return of the... "Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding,

he didn't just say what I think he did, did he?"

And Dr. Dre said... nothing you idiots!

Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!)

Feminist women love Eminem

[*vocal turntable: chigga chigga chigga*]

"Slim Shady, I'm sick of him

Look at him, walkin around grabbin his you-know-what

Flippin the you-know-who," "Yeah, but he's so cute though!"

Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose

But no worse, than what's goin on in your parents' bedrooms

Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can't

but it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose

"My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips"

And if I'm lucky, you might just give it a little kiss

And that's the message that we deliver to little kids

And expect them not to know what a woman's clitoris is

Of course they gonna know what intercourse is

By the time they hit fourth grade

They got the Discovery Channel don't they?

"We ain't nothing but mammals.." Well, some of us cannibals

who cut other people open like cantaloupes [sLURP]

But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes

then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope

[*EWWW!*] But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote

Women wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes

[Chorus: Eminem (repeat 2X)]

'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady

All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating

So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up,

please stand up, please stand up?

[Eminem]

Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell his records;

well I do, so **** him and **** you too!

You think I give a **** about a Grammy?

Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me

"But Slim, what if you win, wouldn't it be weird?"

Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?

So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears?

Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs

so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst

and hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first

You little *****, put me on blast on MTV

"Yeah, he's cute, but I think he's married to Kim, hee-hee!"

I should download her audio on MP3

and show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD [AHHH!]

I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me

so I have been sent here to destroy you [bzzzt]

And there's a million of us just like me

who cuss like me; who just don't give a **** like me

who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me

and just might be the next best thing but not quite me!

[Chorus]

[Eminem]

I'm like a head trip to listen to, cause I'm only givin you

things you joke about with your friends inside your living room

The only difference is I got the balls to say it

in front of y'all and I don't gotta be false or sugarcoated at all

I just get on the mic and spit it

and whether you like to admit it [*ERR*] I just shit it

better than ninety percent of you rappers out can

Then you wonder how can kids eat up these albums like valiums

It's funny; cause at the rate I'm goin when I'm thirty

I'll be the only person in the nursin home flirting

Pinchin nurses ***** when I'm jackin off with Jergens

And I'm jerkin but this whole bag of Viagra isn't working

And every single person is a Slim Shady lurkin

He could be workin at Burger King, spittin on your onion rings

[*HACH*] Or in the parkin lot, circling

Screaming "I don't give a ****!"

with his windows down and his system up

So, will the real Shady please stand up?

And put one of those fingers on each hand up?

And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control

and one more time, loud as you can, how does it go?

[Chorus 4X]

[Eminem]

Ha ha

Guess there's a Slim Shady in all of us

**** it, let's all stand up

i gave up on religion..im not goin to heaven anyway...i mean how could i convert the most people to jehova im no good on TV, and i hate doing door to door...so im out.. oh well

 

[ruger 10+ year member]

while i see where you are coming from and agree somewhat. your example is not true for everyone. take me for example, i was raised in a household where my parents never took me to church never told me anything about Christianity or any other religion. I found God on my own, and in "seeking the truth" i found it. and along with other situations inmy life have made me the man I am today.
i always say, i'd rather believe in God and be wrong than not believe and be wrong.

we grew up the same way, no religion in our family.

but now that we are older, some of my sisters believe in that stuff.

i think its strange that people go somewere and pray and build huge

buildings, its like some sick cult that everyone is ok with.

I'm not claiming to be anything that I'm not or anything that I am, for it is not of my will, but our Father's be done. I'm about to post some insight that I've been gaining over the past 7 weeks since I was "religiously reborn" and how God has transformed my life. Some of the following that I'm about to post: a lot, will be deep and complex, yet simple to those who believe. Give me 15 mins to type it up. This is the stuff I think about 24/7 now.

"wait, no way, you're kidding...he didn't just say what I think he did. Did he?"

Edit: DOH...someone beat me to it!
