fireka Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 yes, but as for praying for peace, will that would put me out of the job now wouldn't it? "i could dance like that!.......if i felt like it...." -Master Betty
Fenris-wolf Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Ha! I'm not a Christian, but I believe in peace. Of course, I too considered the armed forces, but you can still play with big guns without having to shoot anybody. Let Us Turn The Jump Rope In Accord With Socialist Principles!
fireka Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Really Dana? history proves otherwise, can you do the same with hearts? "i could dance like that!.......if i felt like it...." -Master Betty
Fenris-wolf Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Nice riposte! Well, it is difficult and against human nature, and unlikely to ever happen. Also, no war kinda kills the budget for these things. But I'd like to think it was possible -I like playing with weapons, as I'm sure many here do, but I doubt anyone here wants to shed another's blood, and that's what war is.

fireka Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 of course, blood sheding will be avoided if possible. i apologize for getting off topic. "i could dance like that!.......if i felt like it...." -Master Betty

CheekyMusician Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 I'm a christian. Most of my fellow christians don't mind me practicing martial arts at all, but there is a few who think its wrong, although they don't stand in the way of me doing it. A few of my close christian friends were interested in taking up martial arts, and asked their parents. Their parents said that they didn't want them involved as martial arts had close links with demons and the occult. I think they were getting karate confused with witchcraft. Admittedly, there is a few things in the martial arts world that could make a christian feel uncomfortable. I, for instance, don't mind a small standing bow to my sensei or an opponent before a sparring match or before class starts (after all, I'm only showing respect for the person, not worshipping them), but I felt severely uncomfortable bowing to a picture of O'Sensei when I went to Aikido. Yes, it was still a respect thing, but we're bowing to a picture of someone who is dead. That is verging on idolatry to me. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
Tibby Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Yeah, some christians think all the Eastern Philosophy is Demonic or something. They forget the bible IS Eastern. If some of the morons would take the time to read the Tao Te Ching, they might not be so against it. I was given a Copy of the Tao Ta Ching buy the Highest Priest in the Dioceses, that should tell you something!
