7 Year Old Hijacks Car To Avoid Ch...Wait, what the hell?

[MasterSqueak]

Really depressing seeing all the church slamming, even more depressing then the knee-jerk GTA reference. Replace "chrch" with "school" to get a reference to how this should probably be viewed.

Anyhow, it's still amazing how well that kid can drive. He beats me any day.

School is more important than church.

I view them as equally important. If school is more important, it's only slightly.

Please explain your reasoning.

Well, that would probably require a whole book worth of ideas I've picked over my entire life, but lets shorten it to say that if Christianity is true (which I fully believe), then you should definitely immerse yourself with messages from someone whose spent his life learning about the Bible to get yourself ready for eternity.



No one said being a Christian is easy.

Pretty good answer.

My turn:

I'm not well versed in religious matters, but what I understand is that Christians believe that good people go to heaven.

What I understand is that heaven is a nice place where you get to relax and stuff as a reward for being good.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on that by the way.

If I'm right: why would you need to get ready for that? Wouldn't it make more sense to learn about this world in order to live longer in it and make it better?

Correction: People who believe Jesus is the Saviour go to heaven. Good deeds don't cut it. If anything, The real way is easier.

And if you don't immerse yourself in these teachings, and are regularly pounded by popular culture saying "religion is evil/sadistic/stupid/despicable" (at root, it is none of these things), then you are going to stop believing that Jesus is the saviour. Hence, you don't go to heaven.

It confuses me why there aren't more Christians, if not other religious people, when one's ticket to heaven is really quite easy to get.

EDIT: I just realized how much I've derailed this thread.

My thread anyway.

But as for what you're saying: to each his own.

I just find it hard to believe, due to the lack of proof.

Stupid kid... even a seven year old should know stealing a car is dangerous.
Can't say I condone forcing people to go to religious gatherings, on the other hand.

i heard something else like this somewhere, although i think the reason for the kid doing it in that case was that his parents had confiscated his favourite video game, and he went to the shop to buy a new copy.

so it didn't surprise me very much here. at least, not as much as the first time.

I fail to see how the kid is wrong in any of this.

He stole a car to get away from church. How do you not see what's bad?

My point exactly.

Note the "" at the end of this and my initial posts, indicating a sarcastic joke. Car theft is a serious crime.

Okay, just don't understand internet lingo all that well.

No one said being a Christian is intelligent.

Fixd

Thank you for proving my point, sir.

I'm sorry, what was your point?

Your point was 'No one said being a Christian is easy.'

How exactly did I prove that?

No matter where I go, mention I'm a Christian and I get mercilessly prodded and attacked on my intellect and sanity.

You've joined the rank of thousands. Congratulations.

Are you f***ing kidding me? (censored since IDK EM language rules)

Do you know how much I have to go through because I'm an atheist?

Christians and catholics outnumber atheists a whole lot.

Wether in public schools, the household, at summer camps, I am criticized for not believing in a God. If they ask me to explain why I don't believe, I do. Even if my argument is completely logical and makes perfect sense, their argument back is still "Well, how could you possibly not believe in a (G)god?"

The internet seems to be the safest haven for atheists. And that, lacktheknack, is probably why you tend to get 'mercilessly prodded and attacked on your intellect and sanity'.

BTW, I believe your probably a smart guy. I just said that Christianity is unintelligent, not you.

I like to think I am... but do you happen to live in the Bible belt?

I live in Canada... and I got laughed out of the Public Library discussion room for being a Christian... IN A THEOLOGICAL DEBATE.

Different people, different experiences, I guess...

Correction: People who believe Jesus is the Saviour go to heaven. Good deeds don't cut it. If anything, The real way is easier.

So you're saying, If I live the perfect life, donating to charities, treating everyone perfectly wherever I went, helping out people when I had the chance, yet did not believe in Christianity (either by Atheism, Judaism, or being Muslim) I would go to hell?

Now that's just horrible. And if that was true, then I would be a little suspicious of this 'God' figure... Sending innocent people to live a life of slavery in torture...

I always find this argument loses credibility, due to the fact that no one is like this... or am I being cynical?

The idea is that the world is totally unfair, then God broke the rules somewhat to make everything much easier.

That does sound bad, and is part of the reason I am atheist.

Can't blame him. Maybe not hijacking a car, but church is a snoozefest. If God really loved us Church would at the very least have free food.

The Eucharist doesn't count.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Wait, I just thought of something. How in the world did the kid sneak out of church by himself and start the car? Are the parents just neglectful or do they have short attention spans? And the REST OF THE CHURCH for that matter. A little kid shouldn't be able to walk out the door without someone noticing. Did he swipe the keys when they were in the middle of a prayer and the dad somehow didn't notice? Is the kid a born super spy who was trained to competently drive a car at the age of seven?

Come to North America, we're full of Christians here.

You would get laughed out of the Public Library discussion room for being an Atheist.

Can't be resisted... Canada is IN North America. It's fairly well known that Canada is mostly atheist though, so...

Also can't be resisted... My church has interesting speakers and donuts.

Go to the right church.

He hates church enough to steal his dad's car aye? Well, I know the feeling. And only 7 years old? It is time to give up on converting that one to Christianity. He is lost to to the flock. ROFL.
