So you are more willing to base your own opinion and views off someone elses, rather than exploring it for yourself? You must have a lot of trust in your sources. Good luck with that. Though I really dont think you have a "good enough feel" for Hillsong or the people who attend it and work there...

Just as it is against your non-religion to consider the existence of God. Speaking for myself, you miss one important fact though... I havent always believed in God. *Shock Horror* But wait, wouldnt that mean that ive been in the same position as you?

Well with that in mind, shouldnt you think about making a judgement based on your own experience and first hand knowledge, rather than making a judgement from reading "a fair bit about them?" One would think that if you are to make such bold statements, which for all you know could be completely...

You're so quick to attack these guys, yet you have never stepped foot in this church. Of course, we really do have independent opinions here dont we? But heck, if you regard Hillsong in that light, then you obviously never will get to see it first hand. What exactly do you mean by lunatic fringe...

Are you even looking? If you still cant find people, I suggest that you at least go and research some of Hillsong's streets programs they are running at the moment. From what I see from those guys, they are doing anything but sitting on their hands. Its not the location they to which they moved...

Yeah, mostly by telegram. But nowadays, what with the advancements in technology and all, email is a lot more efficient for the both of us. :)

How can you say you know the amount of people that "truly follow the bible to the best of their ability" being very small? Thats why I was pointing out what you're trying to suggest is like somebody floating in the antarctic and spotting an iceberg. Yeah you can see it, but what you see is only...

You can towards the people that you are basing your views off, but when it comes to extending this view unto the greater population of Christians/Muslims/Buddhists etc, I would say you risk being seen as stereotyping, because im certain that there are far greater numbers of people that would...

I was meaning that in the sense that "you only know.......what you know" as in not being informed with all/or more than one angles on an issue. Does that make any more sense? Probably not. Yes, it was incoherent, but I knew what I was trying to say. Haha.

Very insightful pkc. Haha. Btw, who is Pat Robertson?

IMO, you could be less hastily in forming blanket opinions based on only your knowledge. Beyond basing claims off your own knowledge, the obvious remedy would be to seek further opinion before making these claims, thus gaining a wider held and less biased opinion. At the moment, you only know...

...yeah, what andie said. So basically, you'RE generalising the majority of all Christians, based on your knowledge of.....well, a small minority in regards to the whole Christian population. I dont really see any fairness (to say the least) in that. A very bold statement to include such a large...

Check with your uni. I know that at my uni, after the census date, there is financial penalty, but you can withdraw without academic penalty right up until the exams.

Haha that makes no sense at all. But ok, here it is: Most Christians or even any religion, fit into a stereotype. There! My point? Who are you looking for confirmation from? The people that you are stereotyping, or the people that hold the same views as you? If its the latter, then...

Seremify, I feel your pain. Was a couple of months ago, but I got done doing 54km/h in a School Zone. ow the catch was, it was a fixed camera at Bateau Bay. This school zone camera had different operating times to all others on the Central Coast, starting half an hour earlier in the...

I can see your point, but I think your missing the mark. I dont think its a case of the Roman Catholic Church going into "damage control" so to speak, rather I would say that it is somewhat to be expected. We dont even know the details of what this money is going into anyway. I dont think it...

You speak with absolute certainty that "God doesnt exist", which im somewhat perplexed by. Nobody needs to prove God, simple fact is, its not up to us to prove anything. He proves himself. Whether you refute his proof is up to you, but its certainly not hard to find if you look for it.

Amphetamines trade?

Accounting is where its at :) Things looks promising career wise for the future...then again, doing accounting/commerce and going on to do CA or CPA will put you in that situation anyway, all talk of shortages aside.

Quite the battle of pride we have going on here...
