My issue isn't with Jesus. He was, by all accounts, a really cool guy. The deific figure credited to be his father, on the other hand, does little but invite my ire.
The strangest thing? My best friend's a devout Catholic and we don't give an honest damn about each other's religion.
@masterman332 You used deific in the wrong term, there isn't a individual to be placed above; if it's imaginary; then it's imaginary. Explain this, How is Jesus a Cool Guy when according to you he spent his entire life lying, pretending to be something he wasn't and practically insane? Because you Get a bunch of people to believe you're the king of kings, and lie about it. Does that sound like a Cool guy to you? What you say is just completely bullshit in a logical sense.
@Crazedgnome2 Some atheists do shove thier beliefs down others throats. My brother constantly harrasses our mother calling her "stupid" and "brain-washed." He's constantly putting up pictures and things mocking and insulting Christ just to hurt and offend her. He claims he's "Seen the light." He even tore apart and burnt one of our bibles. On the contrary, I have a wonderful friend who is agnostic who is completely accepting of people with different beliefs than his own.
I love part 2. For anyone who did not know, "Failure To Excommunicate" (from the album The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek) is followed by "Life After Death and Taxes (Failure II)" (from the album Mmhmm). Relient K is amazing. Thank you, SWBattlefrontGuru. =)
i am sorry if anything i say is controversial to what you believe. but it is what i believe and i have the right given to me by the constituion to say what i want (for now, until it is taken away). so i will proclaim it from the rooftops and give it all i have got. i will not back down no matter what the opposition is against me. i am not trying to be Jesus but he said this "you are either with me or against me" (paraphrasing, that is the gist of what He said)
hows this for having our rights taken away? my fiance goes to a Christian school. her aunt is the administrator. her aunt got a letter the other day stating all these new rules and things that the school has to do. the government is doing inspections and if the buildings are not nice and clean and "suitable" they could be shut down. im sorry, but my Christian schools around me arent filled with people. they dont have the money...that is a right being taken away. a choice of schooling!
@coolness3811 i never said i hated the sinner. i specifically said that i do not hate gays....and that i hate what they do. read all of my posts before making a judgment and a comment
I am not a pastor or preacher. im just a run-of-the-mill Christian that is tired of having my rights taken away and given to others. im tired of the persecution, of the hate. i do not hate people, i hate the sin that they commit. Now, Hillary Clinton is trying to take away American's guns. literally. im a hunter. that angers me. she is trying to pass it by using peace treaties as an excuse. im not being mean, or rude...but BACK OFF, Hillary. BACK OFF Obama! stop taking my rights away!
@SWBattlefrontGuru Do not associate Christianity with Gun control. That is just pure ignorance. And I highly doubt that Relient K was talking about guns when it comes to this song.
Just like the Demon Hunter song "This Is The Line". "This is a battle, we are the blade. And this is the line. All that they build we will break, this is the line. Which side are you on?"here is where we draw the line. where we stop them. we let them have their abortions, we let them have gay marriage. NO MORE! we need to fight back. gay rights? there ARE NO gay rights. If you are gay, you should move to another country. this is OUR country. i do not hate you but i hate what you do.
@SWBattlefrontGuru This comment is three months late. But, excuse me? No gay rights? That's discrimination and not at all Christian. Because being gay is -no- worse than lying, not a greater sin. I'm sure you lied, so should I ask you to leave the country? This isn't -your- country, it's anyone's. I am not gay, I'm a very strong Christian. And I don't feel being gay is right by any means. But I don't think you should treat it as a greater sin and discriminate.
@Sporky19 i never said its a greater sin.,..but a sin nonetheless. look at Sodom and Gamorra. DESTROYED because of homosexuality. not just given a smack on the rist or a warning....DESTROYED. i am not saying by any means to hate them...but do not do ANYTHING to encourage the behavior or help them achieve "gay rights"
@SWBattlefrontGuru Don't you see, you -are- hating them. Telling them they have -no- rights, to leave the country? That's hateful. We're supposed to love them, to show how much Jesus loves them and wants to bring them to Him. Not to kick them out of the country.
@SWBattlefrontGuru I have to say your comment about gay people is not very Christian at all. Christian people don't discriminate ANYONE, no matter what their sexual preference. It is a very un-Christian thing to do. And to say that they should move to another country is the kind of intolerance that makes people hate our country. "Jesus loved the outcast, he just loves the ones the world just loves to hate." Gay people are outcasts of our society right now, so Jesus loves them too.
@sportsfreak31 no. the intolerance they hate is the supposed intolerance of Christians to give in to what the world wants. its all a big show to make us look bad. you look at everything in the world. every religion has rights...christianity has SOME rights, but we are fast losing them. i do not hate gays. but i do in no way support them. and im sorry if i do not convey my point correctly and apologize that i may have offended you.
Again, Fight Back! Christians, stand up. Stand up against abortion! Stand up against gay marriage! Stand up against the wrongs of this world! Do not falter, do not get sidetracked, do not be afraid. Nothing is impossible with God. You see that word? NOTHING. If faith the size of a mustard seed (From one person) could move a mountain, then what could the whole of Christianity do?
Christians...we need to stand together. Someday, this technology you use to watch a video like this will be used to kill as many of us as possible. That day is fast approaching. Stand up. Shine your light. Do not be afraid for God will be with you. As the Bible says "do not be afraid for the Lord God will be with you all the days of your life" i do not remember where that verse is...but just reading some of the comments on this video laid this burden on my heart to say this: STAND UP AND FIGHT!
Christianity is a relationship with Christ, my God, not a religion. Religion is what Catholocism is. Or Buddhism. Or Atheism. i have a question for Atheists...how can you fight so hard to try to say there is no God or believe there is no God, yet you cannot just stop fighting Christians and leave them alone and co-exist with us in peace? it makes no sense. so u must believe there is a God. An all-powerful, and loving being...or else you wouldnt fight Christians so much...
This is different from the album version. Most notably the louder guitar at 1:19 Also, the strings at the end start later. Where did this version come from?
im not saying its bad to believe in something like god but i dont see the point. in my opinion its just a form of comfort. i would rather trust what i know and fend for myself. thats just my opinion. not trying to start a fight or anything
i totally agree. i honestly think for some people they are christians because its "safe" but why get scared into something you dont honestly feel? i went to church for about 15 years and stopped going because it didn't feel right at all. i honestly dont think you have to be a christian to be a good person or to do good things its all about your choice!
@ichimarukills it's part of the narrow path. But God never wastes a pain, or a hurt. and he uses it to benefit us, to mold us into our character and to be strong so we can help others who are in the positions that we've been through and overcome through Christ. i have been too no lie, but trust me. one day we'll see him face to face, and it wont matter who thought what of us because it only matters what God thinks of us. i hope that helped :)
@TheGrungiest It does help,I thank you..and God has already used me many times to heal others.For sxome reason I have this amazing gift to reach out to others and feel their painand share it but I can't help myself as well as I can other people.
@ichimarukills That's really awesome that he uses you as a vessel to others. But know, that you can't do anything to help yourself, God is what does all that for you. He wants you to trust in Him so that you can rely on Him and get a deeper, more passionate relationship with Him. I give no credit to myself anymore. It's amazing that God's given you that gift to reach out to others, just know that you wouldn't be able to do this efficiently without His guidance and help. Stay strong!!!
@ichimarukills that is all you have. im not being cynical or down. but...as a Christian, that is all you have. and you are lucky to have that. some dont have friends, or their parents are dead...im not trying to make you feel bad. trust me, i feel lonely sometimes too...and i have a beautiful girlfriend that shares my faith in Christ Jesus.
@SWBattlefrontGuru I appreciate your comment..and Yes you are correct.All I have are my Loved ones and God..Everything and everyone else is null and I would die for each and every1 of my true friends and family and God too.Hopefully I won't/we won't ever have to become martys but if so I know God will bring me through it.
I would say otherwise there are some Atheists who can be pretty forward with what they "don't" believe in and do the shoving.
There's just a bigger christian base of people so it seems more people shove the Christianity into peoples throats as you say? IMO We're all human, you'll always meet the typical person no matter what religion/non-religion you follow trying to shove what they believe to be true in your face.
I discovered Relient K around the time this album was released, and was a Christian at the time. Today I am an atheist, but this album still has a special place in my heart. This is also my favorite song off the album.
