My understanding is that Orthodox Jews follow the Mosaic laws of what & what not to eat.
Strange, but modern day science is tending to prove that there is a lot of sense to it.

Don't ask, because I don't know why either.

But I was a tad confused....still am actually

I suppose I got a sort of semi rounded Christian upbringing..... I try to act in what I believe is a Christian manner.

Yetti states:

"NO way you will get meds legally without a psychiatrist... for any disorder you have. "

Actually, the above statement is not accurate. Here in US at least, some MD's will dole out meds without psychiatric diagnosis and followup, especially for things like depression. It is regrettable but true. In some certain circumstances I'm sure it has helped the patient, in others I'm equally sure it has lead to disastrous consequences.

This is also true in the UK And I have spent one year on different prescribed medicines which made me more ill than I was prior to treatment.

Before you tell me to get another doctor Yetti, it doesn't work that way in the UK.

Re self diagnosis
According to Yetti we are too incompetent to self diagnose, but Yetti can judge.....she has appointed herself to decide that it is we who are wrong.
Yet Yetti can diagnose her friend, despite the friend being unwilling!

Nothing wrong with referencing ones parents on decisions.

I think we forgot about religion.

I think it is kind of interesting that I ended up becoming a Christian because I wanted to live a tranquil, amicable life like my residence assistance friends (Buddhist leaning), but never could.

The RAs would frequently talk me out of my attitude against the campus fellowship.��I especially wanted the follow the example of one Rachael Meads, but I could not.��Then I became a Christian and I stopped having anger management problems at individuals or categories of people.

I did thinking about the charity and foreign students thing too.

No, it is not a Christian thing to refuse them, but it would have been more consistent with the behavior of my parents, who were Lutheran only in name.

Somehow I am doubting they would have done as well for themselves if they could have been talked out of their treasures on earth.��

Ever wonder why people who are more successful often hold on to their money better?

I'm not thinking like a Christian I am thinking like a, well, a Marsh.

GuessWho, I think it's time to think for yourself and not base all your decisions on what your parents would have done. Material success does not mean personal success or success in the eyes of God.

My appologies to Devote Christians... Thread Title... "Why Christianity is wrong" I think the title says it all..the film is appropo.

Tigger_the_Wing Wrote:

Yetti, that was in extremely poor taste and very offensive to devout Christians.

Ian Wrote:

I'd say most people would have found that offensive in some way.

Not really Ian.��My husband and I loved it.. No more controversial Than��"Monty Pythons Life of Brian"

I don't think its a waste of time... hence I believe so many in here need to see either a psychiatrist or a therapist. Hence so many are having challenges. Max is an NT.. and value is subjective. Max has major issues... especially the real reason he is on these boards..

tenaciouscj Wrote:

Well, Max just happens to be one of the most valued contributors on these threads, NT or not, so please pull your head in Yetti.

By the way, I think therapy is a waste of time for most of us. Asperger's isn't a disease.

Yetti, could you please at least tell us what the link leads to so we don't have to click on it to find out what it is? Thank you

Actually we had even more graphic and better Christian jokes in Catholic School growing up.. .Yes I went to private Christian school. Loved it.. .We also had a very good sense of humor! Smile I could give you a few of our jokes we had as kids in Catholic School Smile But I think the film is much more tame.
No you have to click it.��You're Welcome~

Actually our Catholic School jokes were far less tame than this film.. and we were catholic school kids.�� Smile ��We would have loved this film. Smile Want to hear a few of the jokes? This was even in Catholic grammar school. I love when people are pious selectively.

I think it isn't fair to post links in threads without telling people what the link is for. You could seriously upset someone. Please post an explanation. Thank you.

Tigger then just don't click it. It is within the rules.. I only do G rated things..�� I know people who get upset if you say the word "Cleaning Lady"��Its G rated. If you have scrupilostity I would suggest getting therapy... thats OCD.

Possibly off-topic but, human blood is considered a biohazard to those that work with it. I think urine is considered a biohazard as well, but not considered nearly so dangerous.

how can urine be a bio-hazard? isn't it completeley germ free and act as an antiseptic? although i wouldn't recomend using that as a antiseptic! Tongue

Most if not all body fluids are considered to be biohazards as they may contain infections, illnesses & excreted drugs.

Of all the reason's Christianity could be wrong, that's the reason you choose to stand with?

Why not? Most of the other reasons have already been stated here! Tongue

I'll agree with Emmy! Christianity is wrong because it hijacks the festivals of other beliefs and calls them holidays (Holy-Days).

Emmy Wrote:

There are several reason why I dont call my self Christian.
That was just one of them Smile

However the bible sais a lot of nice and true stuff,but than again,so does a lot of other religions too.

To Tigger, the  part I made bold made me laugh because I was told by an American that in the USA Christmas, Easter & other religious words are considered non-PC, so words of this ilk are substituted with holiday....they seem not to have considered the origins of the word!

to Emmy, as far as I know the Christian religion is the only one which has used all & any 'local religions',  turned them into the Christian faith whilst  turning local gods into saints, often keeping the original statues / relics etc.

As Tigger said "Christianity is wrong because it hijacks the festivals of other beliefs ".

I agree that there is good & bad in all religions, but this is mainly due to members own interpretation of  the particular religion.

quickduck Wrote:

I do think Christmas and other religious holy-days should be viewed in a religious context (not just as a chance to get drunk and eat lots). I also think that older spiritual practices which form the basis of Christian holy-days should be respected; and people should see the various different cultural and spiritual meanings of a particular day.

Over the years Christianity has hijacked holy days and ancient religious practices and turned them to its own purposes. This is an excellent way of supplanting local spiritual beliefs; and is understandable since Christianity is after all an evangelical religion.

My own religious beliefs are rather eclectic; I do consider a spiritual life important; I confirmed as a Christian a couple of years back. But I continue to incorporate other religious ideas--Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Pagan etc in my world view.

I feel that many people choose a particular religion for cultural reasons; if they had been born in a different country they would perhaps still be religious--but follow different spiritual practices.

Speaking personally, I would be just a happy being involved in a Buddhist meditation section as a Christian prayer meeting. No religion is any better or worse than another. It all comes down to how people use and interpret religious teachings.

I think that this has been very well put & I wholeheartedly agree. Smile
