[QUOTE="joao_22990"][QUOTE="Goeniko"] Your separating the terms here. When we talk about mythology, we're talking about the beliefs of those Greeks and Scandinavians centuries ago. Myth is a different idea than mythology, though not entirely unrelated to one another. What I mean by this is that a myth can come from anywhere {therefore be intentionally false} whereas mythology is a system of myths which people once believed in and has become obsolete in that aspect. It's hard calling things in the bible "myths" because these are things that people are suppose to believe in it as the truth. When it comes to myths, they generally need to have people feel that the story itself is false. Though myth has numerous definitions, one can say that to really call something a myth there has to be a large feel of untruthfulness within it. While religion does have that, I don't believe you can call religion a myth because too many people believe it's the truth.

Oh, come on. What you're doing is retracting today's myths from their right as myths because people still believe them? Myths are myths, independent of whomever believes them or not. That's like avoiding saying religion is just a bunch of lies just because people believe them. It's still a bunch of lies.

The problem with this is: YOU CAN'T PROVE IT. Myths is a factor of belief. You can consider religion to be a myth, but by proper definition it isn't. Unless you can prove to all the Christians in the world that their beliefs are a myth, then the beliefs won't be considered as such.

That is not true, maybe liberal Protestants, but not Biblical Christians. Repentance is a necessary part of coming to salvation in Christ. Without repentence there can be no salvation.

"In Scripture, repentance means "to undergo a change of one's mind." This change of mind is not a mere switching of minor opinions, but of the entire direction of one's life. It involves a radical turning from sin and to Christ." R.C. Sproul

Mat 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Act 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

2Ti 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2Ti 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Maybe Liberal protestants? ITS THE CORNERSTONE OF THE SECT, it was one of the MAIN REASONS WHY THE BROKE OFF from the Catholic sect! There are many definitions and spouting off some liens isn't gonna make your views correct.. Because those different sects will have their array of lines to which they feel justifies their position.

So sorry to disagree but a study of Church history will show that those responsible for the Protestant reformation were not liberal Christians, they were Biblical Christians. Have you ever hear of sola Scripture and sola fide? The backbone of the Protestant reformation was conformity to the Word of God, not the man-made traditions of the Catholic Church. Read about Luther, Wycliffe, and Tyndale and you will understand what I meant.

Yeah, but protestantism still has both conservative and liberal views in it. If you recall, they have liberal beliefs in reincarnation and the origin and such. You can still label protestantism to be liberal.

Because people fear death and like the thought that they'll live on spiritually after death.

I don't think anyone hasn't met at least one person who wasn't hostile towards them in life. People aren't that different on forums, either. If you go to them enough, I'm sure you're due to some hostility at some point.

[QUOTE="joao_22990"][QUOTE="Goeniko"] Might I suggest that you separate religion and mythology? Mythology comes up as more of a term for beliefs that no one believes anymore and is by all means an obsolete belief. But comparing mythology with religion is a bit ridiculous in that religion tends to focus more on morality and rules for life rather than stories and heroics. While mythology did encourage some morality, it was in no way the same as to how religion does it. Morality has more of a moral connection, which is why it has survived longer than mythology.

Hmm? Every religion has it's own mythology, as in, it' own myths. And this is not saying every religion is full of lies, but that every religion has a different sacred understanding of our reality. Right?

You are confusing physical life in the temporal sense with spiritual life in the eternal sense. You are also assuming that God owes us something. He owes us nothing. We exist at, and for, His pleasure and glory.

Okay, no offense, but... that doesn't make any sense to me. :?

Me neither. Perhaps it's the total irrelevance that is the reason >_>

I don't know, God seems pretty mean and vengeful in the Old Testament among other texts.

Why do you reject God and/or His Prophet Muhammad?

Mainly because I see God and other religions is nothing more then mythology. These mythologies are used to gain power, wealth, and brainwash people. Also God have been used as an excuse for murder, rape, many wars, racism, sexism, slavery, and the list goes on and on.

I'm personally fine if someone likes to stick with their religion. It's just that I can't stand it when people think everyone else should adhere to their own beliefs and that they use it for the basis of all their excuses and logical explanations.

Let me put it to you like this - religion is always suited up to meet societies best interests rather than made to be followed through each text. If soceity doesn't like something that's written in religious texts {such as sexism or slavery} then soceity is going to ignore it and pretend that the religion doesn't support it. It's about how people like to interpret it rather than how it should be interpreted. This is nothing new in history, and today it's a fairly common ordeal.

Never really tried it, to be honest with you. There weren't any parts of any game that ever froze on me so I never had an incentive to do so. Backwards compatibility can be somewhat problematic at times...

I'll add just about anyone on my network. if I find I like playing with them or vice versa. I have close to a full roster of friends and I'm starting to be somewhat picky about who I add now. At the moment, I'm kind of hoping Sony will increase the amount of friends you can have... I personally would like to add more guys to my network.
