May 20, 2012 - omg i hate when rappers recycle lyrics...this was used in his new album, in the song 'the believer'
CrabbWalker Says:
May 25, 2012 - Whats up with all the hate towards us Christians, like there's an instant switch that flickers when you see any affiliation with it? Just listen to the message.....

May 25, 2012 - If you don't notice, Religion is basically forced upon non-religious people. Imagine if you were always hearing about something that you thought was bullshit, It get's annoying.
CrabbWalker Says:
May 26, 2012 - Nah, something like the Crusades is forceful. Verbally trying to exclaim the love of Christ maybe annoying to you, but it's certainly not forceful.
magxsnyp3r Says:
May 26, 2012 - When it's everywhere, and ingrained in society, even to the point where it's in the white house, it's forced onto us. I don't think you can understand because you're christian, but religion is always everywhere, and atheists get a lot of shit from pretty much everybody (I don't mean to sound self pitying or offensive, and if I do I sincerely apologize)
CrabbWalker Says:
May 26, 2012 - No need to apologize man, you're just expressing yourself. Maybe I don't understand cause I am indeed a born-again Christian since 14, but I could definitely see how it would be overwhelming as one who is persecuted because they don't share the same belief(s)-- considering the numerous amount of religions that you just discard them altogether. For me, testing out Jesus was a personal, individual endeavor that I alone needed faith to believe in-- and so far, my life has been good for me.
