Grapefruits Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I try not to get into these types of arguments/discussions with overly religious ppl. Everything comes back to God wants me to do this or God doesn't want me to do that. How do you have an intelligent conversation with a delusional person.

Wetcoaster Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't understand super religious people, they piss me off, sorry but it's true for me. I always find that they always seem to make "non-believers" feel bad about themselves, kinda like gay people when you don't support them or whatever.

TOMapleLaughs Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I also have a religious friend who refuses to see spiritual/religious horror films. It's his right. He doesn't overly preach to me about why though and i don't ask. Stupid conversations avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ok so i didn't read the entire thing but let me point something out. It says in the bible that you should deal with paranormal and the dead. Leave the dead dead as they are separated from the living for a reason. Now of course this isn't exactly what it says and i can't remember what verse it was but that could be part of his reaction. Edit: I found some verses such as Leviticus 19:31 Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord you God. Leviticus 20:27 Men and women among you who act as mediums or psychics must be put to death by stoning. They are guilty of a capital offense. 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse. Not sure if this answers what you are asking but it should help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 To the OP. You're a better man than I. I could tolerate your friend for about 5 minutes before I'd leave the room shaking my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Even if they strangely believe the bible isn't fiction, they should at least understand that horror film is, and not take it so seriously. Their inability to do so seems like it will become an imposition upon future discussions/endeavors, which is why I don't befriend the type of religious nuts that act like this.

yawn.3x Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 i don't know man, to me it sounded like you and the guy are pretty tight friends despite differences of opinion. or if not tight friends, at least authentic friends. and that's the problem with Christians generally, they come off as completely inauthentic (ie: hypocritical) and then try to make you feel crappy that you don't hold to the same standard that they do. Sounds to me like your buddy is struggling to align his life with a standard that he believes is correct (albeit imperfectly, and perhaps baby-stepping towards "un-hypocritical-ness"?) but ISN'T turning into a total douchebag as it relates to you and your friendship. At the same time, it seems like you're a good enough friend to cut him slack while he's trying to figure out what's right and wrong for himself (even if it doesn't make sense to you). Sounds to me like your buddy is a better "Christian" than the Christians most people have experienced, and you're a better "heathen" than simply dismissing him outright because he's setting his life up a certain way.

The Bookie Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'd understand that, but he's ALWAYS the one who's watched horror movies. The ring, The ring 2, The grudge, Amittyville, like the list goes on and on, so I don't think that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
