Granted. You just posted it, but because you posted it, you had to post a wish, and this one has a violent corruption.
I wish I could see with 20/10 vision.

I do not waste my time. I spend it. And if religion prevents you from doing things normal kids do, good for you; I wouldn't know what normal kids do to waste their time.
And Bugger, why should I repent? I don't hurt people. I've done nothing in the last 60 days that strays from my moral compass, my community's ethical code, and call me a sinner if you want, but I can call you ignorant, because you don't believe my gospel truth.
Quote from: Duckling on February 18, 2011, 11:08:08 PMWaste my time? I'm sure you do some of things that are a waste of time, but I don't criticize you for it. So why are you so concerned about me wasting my own time? Does it bother you that I'm not making perfect use of my time? Sure, religion takes time. But, I get done what I need to get done, and I don't waste a lot of my time doing things that a normal kid would do, partially because of my religion.
And most of my disrespect and crude insults to religion have nothing to do with my atheism. They're just me not liking the way organized religion takes up part of the day that you could be spending doing something else, and maybe, just maybe, if, as you claim, homophobia is genetic (which I genuinely and sincerely doubt), there's an equal or greater chance that not feeling the need to be part of somthing greater or waste my time just to fit in is genetic, too. Don't hate on me for it, please.
Quote from: im2smart4u on February 17, 2011, 10:23:49 PMStealing a candy bar wouldn't be the only thing sin the child committed. But I think I know what you mean. Why would God punish a relatively moral guy with the same punishment he gave a genocidal maniac? But, by sinning, we are basically turning our back to God, saying that we don't want to and won't do things his way, and that we want to do our own thing apart from him. We tell him basically to leave us alone and that we don't want him to tell us what to do. It doesn't really matter what our sin is; we are still turning our backs on God. So God's punishment for telling him we don't want anything to do with him is giving us what we ask for. He withdraws from us and cuts us off from him. This is hell. Eternally apart from God. Since we are creations of God, being cut off from him is eternal/everlasting death.Quote from: Bugfartboy on February 17, 2011, 04:15:13 PM@im2smart4u On the issue of sin, you think that partial sin should be good enough to stand in the presence of God? Sin is sin. It's His perfection and our imperfection that separates us from Him. It's the blots on our spiritual white robes.So a child that steals a candy bar should go to hell alongside the homicidal rapist, since all sins are equal and unforgivable.

And in response to Ducky's statement a couple months ago, the major differences between buddism and Christianity is this: did budda live perfectly and die perfectly to live again three days later? Nope. He's still dead. Was budda the son of GOD ALMIGHTY(!)? Nope. Do buddist monks really care about each other if each is "to be an island unto himself"?

1. If sin doesn't exist, there would be no balance, meaning no order, meaning the world will fall into chaos, but, without order, chaos cannot exist, so either a paradox will open, or the entire universe will be destroyed.
2. Fair enough, if I understand correctly, you are saying that God "washed" us, meaning... saved us from sin, right? Because he saved us from sin, he doesn't want us to fall back? Again, though, sin cannot be annihilated, as hard as anyone will try, as that will disturb a balance.
