I have started this thread to bring Christ to Archinect. i have been doing some reading here and i am more than a little bit appalled by the level of hedonism taking place and i am concerned for both you and our profession. Threads with vulgar titles like "Bitchin' headphones" or "Mies on sex" are not really necessary and i am offended and disappointed by them. And the following sample from the "Hi all you fancy graphics lovers" thread is but a small indication of the weakness of the human soul:
"What a sad site this is, the only fun is fagot dirt , architecture made into the art of shit ,the tread showed what filth you replaced for beauty , the heaven for the class bully , fagot fagot fagot useles sadass who only find joy in doing the only skill you master, fake names criminal minds , you realy got architecture rocking fagot ..."
I am not mad at any of you...just diappointed. But I think that if we open the discussion up to more enlightening topics, then Jesus will forgive you to! So let's hear it, has anybody done anything positive or uplifting today? Anybody go to church? Better yet, is anybody builiding a church? That might a good start for architects to demonstrate their service to Jesus.
With Love!

I think it's sad that some feel it necessary to step in, on their pedestal, and preach about beliefs of good and bad, right and wrong.
When I see free thought, and I know there are many that think freely, but in general there is one voice that is heard, I'll listen. Stem cells, birth control, gay marriage, abortion, the list goes on. When I can't hear any of that anymore and we start to catch up with the consciousness of much of the world, then I will listen.
Until then, it all sounds like annoying noise.

Why is it that the topic of Christianity/Religion always seems to strike such a reaction in everyone? Be it negative or positive. Is it impossible to have a neutral or no reaction on the subject when it is brought up an if so why is this?
What could there be to this topic which demands reaction in one way or another?
bigness
May 25, 05 10:00 pm
because to codify religion or spirituality to such a mindless, reductive moral exercise is always going to generate reactions from the thinking masses, whose freedom of expression they deem to be untouchable, specially in the anonymity of the forum (talk about the others, unfortunately for me that's my real name...), thus stimulating such reactions!
you cannot come to me (anyone) and tell me not to say shit fuck or faggot because otherwise jesus will not love me, because for all you know i could be the most spiritually elevated motherfucker on the planet, and to come here and preach is only going to get you laughed at.
aknox: there are people that have neutral or no reaction to this subject: the ones who haven't bothered posting a reply. easy uh?

Dear Friends,
I can definitely feel we are making progress in bringing Christ to archinect. some of you have already pledged your support and voice your agreement. the rest of you will soon be joining us in a peaceful and loving celebration of humanity and spirituality and architecture.
Of course some of you persist in disparaging us and me in particular, but that is okay. As a prophet, I am like toilet paper, I must become soiled in order to cleanse your spirit. Moreover, deep within my heart, I can feel a change in your hearts...and it is a wonderful feeling. Truly special! Let me share it with you! Though you may like a vulgar thread title like "Bitchin' Headphones," don't you feel that a more pleasant title might be even better? Maybe something like "Pleasing Headphones that Raise my Life in a Loving Way" would be a better title for a discussion thread.
We are just poor little sheep who have lost our way and much of this is on account of our architecture and landscape. In earlier times, American settlements centered on the church. All roads led to the heart of town and there one would find a simple but beautiful church, usually with a tall steeple so that everybody understood their place and the relations within that place. Today things are much more difficult...roads are merely numbered and many establishments have the same name. You could be on interstate 40 passing a McDonald's restaurant and a Walmart retailer and have no idea whether you are in Dallas, Texas or Atlanta, Georgia. We are affected by our environment, but as architects we can improve this and add direction to our souls.
We may be lost sheep, but lets allow our shepherd Jesus to lead the way. We can do it! Keep up the good work, I believe in you even if you have reservations!
With Love!

don't assume not all Archinecters are Christian - it's the same reason the folks pushing Christian prayer in public schools piss me off - not saying eb is one of those, just using it as an example. It just alienates those who might have been inclined to be Christian and angers those not interested even more. I believe it is called proselytization.
"Bitchin' headphones" was a great thread title. Guess eb doesn't care for Dave Chapelle either then. You're missing out, eb. "Bitchin" has nothing to do with "bitch" esp. when we're talking about an inanimate object (no, not a woman, eb; the headphones). Now a little flashback to God and the creation of woman:
And Bill Cosby spake of God, that after He created man, he noticed that Adam needed a companion in the garden, God spake thusly: "Whoa, man!"

eb, your thread is titled "from our Savior" . Could you ask Him to give me a call some time? I lost his number. You must have Your Own Personal Jesus, but that song doesn't mention the actual number.
Seriously though, eb, I respect that you're concerned but what is so offensive about "Mies on sex?" God created us in His image (which means for Americans that God is getting fatter and driving ever bigger SUVs) and , like it or not, humans like sex - we're meant to, otherwise we might not be as inclined to procreate, and without that there wouldn't be new generations to worship God and/or Christ. So be thankful for sex. You wouldn't be here without it.
