Moral of the story? Don't argue with idiots or they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Or something like that. | ||

she means that among the people that go to church, there are people who call themselves Christian, and then there are the "real" Christians that really believe the Christian doctrine and really act like Christians (they try to live by what the Bible says). The people that call themselves "christian".. well... they see church as more of a social thing and not really believe in anything they hear at church. Most likely they're just there to chill/hang with people. | ||

Wiki's opening line sums it up: "A church is an association of people who share a particular belief system." Which would technically make you wrong. ^_^ Anyways, if you're in highschool or whatever, just know that all of you are idiots with zero life experience, and that in a couple years, none of what you're doing now will matter.  | ||

I know alot more about the world works, and the state of the country and its intricate machine more then anyone in my school. I'm one of the few that knows what really geos on in these world, and I'm also smart to realize that getting good grades deos not make you smart, and that its not gained through an innate talent. I'm not stupid, and I know a lot of things, and that included a lifetime of experience only few people in this world has really gone through. And btw, she deos a lot of stuff through her church, like work, and she seems dedicated to it.... | ||

It's really more like a social experience where people meet every week with other "Christians", most of the time it's a friendly environment where you feel safe to meet new people. I've met only a few people who I would say are truly Christians, the rest are the phony people you see in front screaming "Praise Jesus!" flapping their arms around like a goose. You're probably talking to a girl who read some book like The Da Vinci Code and thinks she is some wizz at religions. | ||

So she claims she is a pagan of a sort, I asked her if she had sacraficed any animals, she was offended, and told me that the focus of paganism is balance and peace, and pagans cannot kill animals, it geos againts everything etc . Then she says she geos to a church, and I'm like "what?" I ask her if she is protestant or catholic, then she says not everyone who geos to a church are not christian. I'm like WTF? I tell her that if she geos to a church, she must be a christian. Based on the fact that a church is a place of worship for christians. Then she makes a comparison, saying that using my assumption, she would be a car if she went inside a garage. Since that is not true, a person can go to a church and not be christian. I'm still like WTF? I decide to stop arguing with her, because there was no point. Then I see all these people looking at me, the idiot people (and there are quite a significant amount in my class) then some stupid girl actaully agreed and somehow saw sense, so she started being a bitch to me and saying how I was wrong to make the assumption that a christian would go to a church. I didn't want any hassle so I dropped the conversation. So is it just me or is there something wrong, and stupid in that comparision between a person being a car going inside a garage with that of a christian person going to a church? A church is just a group of people who believe the same thing. The "main purpose" of the word is to mean exactly what it means, not mean something you think it means. Most christians use the phrase "church of jesus christ" a lot and recognize that the word isn't exclusive to christians or catholics. She can call her religion a church if she wants, there's nothing wrong about that. It's not like christians own the word "church" and other people can't use it. Frankly, your story just makes you sound close-minded and intolerant, you harassed this girl for no reason other than that she believed something different than you and used a word you assumed meant only one thing. That makes YOU the idiot. | ||

Any particular reason why you always type eo instead of oe (like in "does" or "goes") Also, knowing what "goes on in the world" could be many different things. You could be well informed about current events and know nothing of what college/living is like, maybe vice versa. :3 EDIT: Oh, and this part is meant to kind of offend: "A wise man knows he knows nothing" :3 | ||

And if you were as smart as you say you are you'd realize that while good grades may not reflect genuine intelligence you should "get smart" and just make the grades if you want to go anywhere in life. | ||

While the first post made me wonder, this one cleared all of the doubts - you're an arrogant dickhead who insults little hippy girls and then goes to TL.net do discuss it. Lifetime of experience? Only a few people in the world? Who the fuck do you think you are? | ||

EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL. I guaran-fucking-tee I could come back to you in 5 years and you'd be like "dude, I didn't know SHIT back then!". I'm not trying to be mean, just honest. I thought the exact same way, then Real Life® hit me like a ton of bricks and I realized how little I knew. I can promise just about everyone here in their 20's and up will agree with me on that. | ||
