Yeah, basically. xD
I have no problem with Paganism, my point is just that it was a joke. If you're offended by a joke then you're welcome to say so but I'm not going to say I'm sorry for making a joke.
Anyways! Friday the 13th is usually a good day for me, but I always feel wary on Saturday the 14th. It'll get ya when your guard is down...
I dunno, when someone is hurt or offended about something, it's not in my ideals to tell them to "Suck it up." =P That is just mean, regardless of what forum you are in. While I don't think Shlup's joke is offensive and she obviously can't take into account everything she says so that no one will ever be offended (because different people get offended by different things) I do think Sploddess has ample reason to feel the way she does.
Edit: Hehee... 13 more minutes til Friday the 13th ^_^
Wat

I know, I'm a total jerk. *stabs herself*

I still love you too though, hawkdude xD
Edit! : Joel your room can get blown up by a bomb or something
I'm not leaving my room all day.
Isn't that a normal day for you though, Joel? <3
If somebody else takes something as offensive, that's their problem and nobody else's. It wasn't meant to be insulting or derogatory, and you're the only one that finds it offensive--that should tell you something. Something like "get over it". The remark about Hell was--as Hell is a concept of another religion--obviously something in which beliefs vary, depending on religion. Some people believe it's possible to for a rapist and murderer to get to Heaven, and others believe people that voted for certain politicians will go to Hell, that doesn't make them all right, or mean that everybody who voted for that politician should find them and give them a piece of their mind. I'm sure you're not the only one with a story about "oh poor me had something bad happen to him because I wasn't like everybody else", whether any of those stories are true are not. By the way, "pagan" was originally, and somewhat still is, used as a term for non-mainstream religions, especially with multiple gods and/or goddesses.
On to a lighter note. Friday the 13th. Is that a lighter note?
I actually didn't make the connection until I saw this thread, all I had been thinking was that it's the day my bogus ban ends...unless something else I say gets severely misunderstood between now and then, of course. I don't care about it either way, I'm not superstitous or anything. It's just another day.
Isn't Hell a belief from Catholicism?
See what you've done now Shlup?! A simple thread about Friday the 13th has now become a thread involving religion, personal preference and the potent power of humor. Gotta love it.
Take care all.
Heh. The day people stop taking everything so seriously will be a great day. Never to come, but it's nice to hope for.
Life is a joke, and should be experienced as one.

I don't know. Do Jews believe in a form of Hell? If so, then Catholicism got the idea of Hell from the Jews, and the Old Testament. If not, then I'd imagine it's something strictly New Testament, and would be first credited to Catholicism.
I've got to stop opening all the threads I want to see, then replying to them one by one. By the time I finally get to all of 'em, I've wasted half an hour and too much has happened, and I just look like an asshole for bringing up stuff that's like a dozen posts ago. Or, rather, more of one.
Schlup, I'm so proud you can add to 100.
I really didn't even pay attention to Friday the 13th.
To me, it's like Wednesday the 11th! It's just as bad because it knows that in two days... it will be Friday the 13th!!!
To the best of my knowledge, those of the Hebrew faith don't believe in a concept of Hell, though I'm not sure if that means they believe in damnation and all the like along with it.

It happens to everyone. Better to take the time out to express your opinion to the best of your ability than to pass up the chance to express it at all, I say.
Take care all.
Friday is a normal day whether it is the 13th or not. I like it because it means I can stay up later...and it leads to Saturday.
No, I'm serious. Every Friday the 13th something bad happens to me if I go anywhere outside of my house. Whether I get hurt, sick, grounded, have a loved one die, or have something stolen from me.Originally Posted by ShlupQuack
I really don't know about Hell...I'm reasonably certain that the Hebrew faith did have a concept of damnation, but don't know whether it was Hell, or just like Pergatory or the "holding room" or whatever until they were really judged. I'll have to look that up, see if it's in the OT. You have peaked my curiosity, Captain.
Here we go... Actually, the OT contains many references to Hell. So, I would imagine they do believe in Hell, but I don't know if it's the same Hell that Christians believe in. I'd imagine so, but I guess I would have to find a Jewish person and ask them to know for sure.
I'll remember that next time I get banned, and say you told me to do it.
