Pontifex Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 What really bugs me is that when you search for "Why I hate Religion" the video doesn't come up at the top anymore, for no reason. The numbers are still climbing, nothing has been changed in the tags or the title. Sounds like a C O N spiracy..... ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontifex Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 So the video received 32,000 views yesterday. The Muslim version received 39,000 yesterday. We have so many Catholics in this country, I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Maybe because a lot of Christians (Catholics included) are curious about the Muslim response. Also there are a lot of Catholic responses that are probably splitting the number of views.

Whosoever Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That's because many Catholic and Protestant churches are dead spiritually. It is time for all Christians to reunite and become spiritually alive again! My pastor always says the first step is to attend church (find one that is you enjoy attending regardless if it is Catholic or Protestant), the next step is to read the Bible daily and third is daily prayers. Wake up folks! You are losing your youth to the secular world where Christianity is mocked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religion is about centering your life on God, not on your own personal enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the sound editing to be pretty grating when it was trying to be dramatic. Things I don't get, when a Muslim tries to use the Bible to prove Christ isn't divine. Like when he criticized Christians for being up in the church drinking wine, when in fact there are many places in the Gospels where Jesus drinks wine or at least provides wine to people. Idgi. This type of apologetics seem very problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(People who are insecure keep searching for proof that they are correct whereas when you have the truth you know it and don't feel the need to prove it.)

Whosoever Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yes Jesus is alive and thriving! My question to you is this. Is Jesus alive and thriving in every member in your church congregation or are some members only going through motions but spiritually dead inside?
