    Pagan schmagen. I like what Paul said when he was accused of eating meat sacrificed to idols: It's just meat folks.

    Yes, I agree, considering that it's moral lessons can usually be found in the moral rules of Christianity. I have always respected things that preach proper morals, which is probably one of the reasons I like MLP FIM. I just wish people would stop lumping those extreme Evangelicals with Christians like me. A lot of people don't realize that Christianity as a whole is probably one of the most progressive religions in the world. They just think Christianity and immendiately think West Boro Baptist Church and such. If Jesus was alive, your signature would more than likely be true.

    Babylon 5, a sci fi show written primarily by an atheist has had several episodes that showed a deeper understanding of Christianity than most Christians posses.

    Yeah, would agree, and thanks:smile:.

    I would actually like to see Jesus return, so he could teach those extremists a lesson. Also, think about having Jesus as a member of this site and as a fellow brony, awesome comes to mind:omg:.

    Then I could only hope he would approve of my...feelings for Rainbow. This is something I have asked myself many times.

    I gotta say I don't agree with the religion, but I sure agree with this statement.

    I'm a Christian. Not like super religious extreme Christian but it's what I follow. Lately it's been hard thinking what is true and what is the real "true religion" but I've been raised in Christianity as well as everyone around me has (I go to a Christian school) so. As you others were saying, I would disagree with MLP being demonized all the way. The show has excellent lessons. I'm wouldn't be surprised what so ever if many Christians pastors are bronies themselves.

    As far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter which religion is "true" as long as the people following it are good. We cannot really know, the only thing we can do is believe. Eventually we will find out.

    I've already said this half a million times but I should state my views as well

    >Used to be Christian, but I don't remember it because it was -that- long ago
    >Was a Wiccan for like, 10 years when my parents converted.
    >Filled with amazing awesome fun times, made amazing friends, went to a lot of festivals.
    >Suddenly not a Wiccan anymore, never saw my friends again.
    >Now Agnostic, because I honestly don't care if there's a god or not, I'll be a good person because it's what's right.
    >I still follow the 2 main rules of Wicca: Live as you will and be a good person, and whatever you do comes back to you eventually.

    I agree, it doesn't matter what religon or code or whatever you live by, as long as you live a good full life, then everyone wins. I shall recite a quote by roman Emporer Marcus Aurelius (Though it might be bucthered a bit): "If there are gods that are just, then the code they set shall be one to follow and you shall live a good life. If there are gods that are not just, why would you want to follow them. And if there are no gods, then live a good life, as you shall live on in the memories of those you touched." It was something along those lines.

    I absolutely agree with you. It doesn't affect my belief but it has just made me wonder many times. If we can all be happy and proud of ourselves by the time we die, we've done life correctly

    you're kind of wrong on some parts. sexual activity in islam isnt "only" for hopes of making a child, its also to prevent fornication. and islam says that you get blessings for having sex with someone you married, because you arent doing it with someone you didnt marry. anyone can ask me anything on this subject, because i learned a lot when i researched if muslims were all terrorists. actually, please ask me something. im getting really bored here.

    Saying muslims are all terrorists is like saying all christians are like the Westboro Baptist Church.

    Ok, a question, does the quoran say anything about ponies?

    Is it possible to argue that women should be equal to the men in Islam?
