Well, it's time for my classmates and I to be Confirmed. Im somewhat nervous, thinking that I am going to screw up when I am asked a question. I have to memorise; The Catholic Beatitudes, The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit, The Appostles Creed (That's very easy) and last of all the Nincene Creed (Very hard).
Pretty much what you do for Confirmation, if you don't know is that your saying "Yes I do believe in God the Father the Almighty." God will enter your life, when you were Baptized, you could not take control and say "Yes Baptize me!" Your parents did it for you.
If you dont get Confirmed, you dont have that key into Heaven, so you go to Hell.
Thanks, Now I'm going to hell. :(
Well, it says that right in the Bible so...I'm just repeating what was written.
2 hours left till Confirmation...
Nervous as shit...
Good Luck.
I have found that killing a kitten always calms me down when I'm nervous.
Wow. You have to say all that when you get confirmed. I don't think I had to memorize anything.

I find killing a baby when I'm nervous helps to calm me down.
Quote
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
2 There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill .
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.
7 Remember, O LORD , what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
"Tear it down," they cried,
"tear it down to its foundations!"
8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
blessed is he who repays you
for what you have done to us --
9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
So what you're saying is that he should masturbate? That'll get him into heaven fast :)
Bah you Catholics.

I'm sorry, point out to me where it says "if you don't go to confirmation you are going to hell".
I knew catholics had some strange things, but this is more than I thought...

Says it right in the Bible.
Also states that there is a Hell in the Bible.

The bible has millions of words, and thousands of sentences, tell me where this is found, or were you just told this and believed it?

If you honestly have read the bible, understand that there are millions of arguments over how to interpret almost every passage, and you believe this for yourself, good for you. If it's something your teacher has told you and has not presented any other opinions on the meaning of the passage, I would urge you to educate yourself on this matter before taking it as "the word of god."
Although I have never been a religious person in any way, I took a New Testement class in high school that really opened my eyes -- our teacher walked us through almost the entire new testement, focusing on historical and political context of the writings and the author(s)' motives and christology(ies) for each book, as well as books that were not cannonized like the Gospel of St. Thomas and other gnostic writings. It was by far one of the most interesting courses I have taken, since he presented his opinion along with that of other biblical scholars who differed.

Much of what is derived from the bible is based on an interpretation of its words, just as in any other piece of writing.

Makes sense to me, but you still are not old enough to know what you are doing. You should have to be 16 to get confirmed.
I'm still waiting for the part where you go to hell if you're not confirmed.
You aren't going to get it, because it isn't there.
However I can understand confermation.
Catholics are stupid and just word it badlly.
Quote from: Forged on May 31, 2004, 10:46 AMCatholics are stupid and just word it badlly.
Ah, if that's true then you must be Catholic.
Fortunatlly no.
Dante's Divine Comedy is a good read for any of you that have yet to read it, I think you would all find parts you can connect with.
I could never be Catholic, something just bothers me about being led by a Council of hypocrites, but then I guess I'm hypocritical, because I live in America :P ::) ;D ;). Oh the irony!
I enjoy a tight butt hole far to much to ever be catholic.

Congradulations, with a few more years of watching the 700 Club and being brainwashed by Pat Robertson you'll be a full blown prejudice and closed-minded nutcase just like them.
Pat Robertson isn't catholic. I don't even think pat robertson or fred phelps are even christian...

You can't use this to prove anything, it's a work of fiction. The entire book is symbolic of his journey to overcome sin (hell) and temptation (pergatory) and reach happiness (heaven). It was never meant to be a guidebook to hell, just an interesting poem.
I very much wish I could read it in its original language, though, or at least read a better translation. The one I read was pretty crappy.
Send me to hell or heaven for a day and I'll believe it's there and convert. I do believe there is a god, but his name is Murphy. That's the only 'divine force' I've ever witnessed in my life.
