change jesus to freddie in church

I say we should drop this thread or at least this topic of maturity/immaturity etc.

I'm all for it.

That's what I meant by my first post. : /

I guess some people just misunderstood that.

Take your own life - i'm sure most people have fantastic memories of childhood and adulthood. Freddie had the same, only he's are captured on film. All perceptions. That's it.

There's nothing godlike about him, or anyone. Take brian may - he's a fantastic guitarist, yet if you look back what he did it's nothing. He moves his hands on a piece of wood. Just mimic him playing the guitar - that's what he's done all his life - move his fingers around (just on a physical level here). See there's nothing amazing about anyone when you think like that.


ALso take a funeral - people cry, yet why do they do this? Probably because there is an emotional piece of music being played. Imagine if there was an upbeat song being played - bet the reaction would be totally different - life is all about perceptions - we just create the rest.

Now you know i'm correct - it sucks. But that's life.[/QUOTE]

Ive researched about that , Music one of if not the most important thing there is.
You are right, music gives the feelings , but you are wrong in saying freddie aint no more special than the rest, u know why?

Freddie is the one creating those sad tunes that creates the feelings, without freddie they wouldnt have been there. So therefore he is special , VERY special and to me inhuman. With his voice and talent.

It's not fair to come on here and critisize other peoples religions or, indeed, non religions. This is not a place for conversion or to say other people are stupid for what they beleive is right. I mean WARS have been fought over less then this topic! So perhaps i should suggest that everyone grows up a bit hmmm.

I thought an atheist didn't believe in any sort of higher power or greater human being?

I could be wrong though...

I don't get it.

ive read this extensive thread and its really intimidating! anyway, i dont like super religious people, because they sometimes blow things out of proportion and such, and they focus too much on their god and too little on their life and what is around them. i believe though, that faith and a religion are needed, so your life has a set of rules and obligations to follow.

i just really hate it though, when people blame God for things like september 11th and others say things like 'Where's your god NOW?!?' hes out of your life, thats where, right where you want him to be.

i dont think freddie would like to be worshipped. idolized, yes, but to a certain extent.

i hope i havent caused any trouble! :)

If I were at a well-attended meeting (let's say 300 people attending a lecture in an auditorium) and Freddie were to walk in, I would STAND to honor the world's greatest performer, the great vocalist, the genius composer, and the man whose music, to this day, leaves me in awe.

On the other hand, if Jesus Christ were to walk into the same auditorium.......................I would kneel.

wow. very well said racoon. That is so true.

If I saw Freddie, I'd be excited, and clapping my hands.

If I saw Jesus, I'd tremble, and bow.

No offence , but you my friend are a sheep.
How can you say that you give Jesus more respect when you never really actually know if he is more special than you and i. You have never witnessed any supposed miracles or whatever , only thing you have is a fairytale in a book.

Freddie on the otherhand was real and made some fantastic things.

Freddie walks in, i give him all respect in the world, Jesus walk in, tell him to serve the real human God ,Freddie.

Yeah, I was gonna say.

At least we can be a 100% sure Freddie existed and achieved something incredible.
Although we have the proof Jesus did exist, the rest is pure belief.
If I ever was to worship someone, I'd choose Freddie (At least no-one was killed in his name, not that I know)

okay, fine. i'm trying to, in the least biased way, to tel all of you to at least RESPECT the catholics and christians' beliefs. it's important to them, so you should at least have some morsel of respect, not mock them like truckers! this is absolutely insane! you guys must be older than me, but you act juvenile when you talk about these rather sensitive topics.

i love freddie and i have tremendous respect for him, but seriously, people. this is WAY overboard. you guys can start a religion and whatever. but you can't really replace jesus, can you? if you do then you're making another religion so don't involve church or jesus in this whole... whatever thing. you can just say... i'm atheist and i don't believe in jesus, i'd rather worship freddie mercury. just... don't insult some people's beliefs.

ps: i love Jesus and God more than i love freddie. got a problem with that?

Atheist, you've posted the most devil - stupid - idot post in the history of writing [computer or any other] and you deserve to burn in hell.

How can you even compare JESUS and FREDDIE... what a moron you are.

Not really, but I just cant belive we are living in the 21st century and we still have people like you beliving in this nonsence and stopping us moving forward, its annoying to the point of being absolutely hilarious.

The good thing about religeous people is that it makes me feel superior, so thanks for that.

And just to add on, scientific research shows that Athiests are in general more intelligent than religeous believers.
