First Name: Robert Age: 24 Religion: Christianity Denomination: Episcopal with Gnostic leanings
What drew you to this guild? I'm sick and tired of stupid people making a mockery of my religion, especially those with in my faith.
Influential quote: Matt 22: 36-40
Matt 22:36-40 36"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' 38"This is the great and foremost commandment. 39"The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' 40"On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

I r teh Boxy. I speak pretty one day.
First Name: Andrew (ho snap, there goes my anonymity) Age: 21 years, 8 months, 11 days, 9 hours. Religion: Theism >> Abrahamism >> Christianity >> Restorationism >> Mormonism, with shades of syncretism with various pagan sources (especially Canaanite/Babylonian sources) Denomination: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Brighamite), non-Utah.
What drew you to this guild? Actually being invited by someone I knew. Do you know just how many guild invites I get that are from people I know nothing about for topics I care nothing for? Also, we need less uppity and touchy-feely Christian guilds here on Gaia.
Influential quotes: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (KJV Matthew 7:21)
"A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest. All thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all who have endured valiantly for the gospel of Jesus Christ." (D&C 121:28-29)
"And set in order the churches, and study and learn, and become acquainted with all good books, and with languages, tongues, and people." (D&C 90:15)

First Name:Brian Age:25 Religion:Christian Denomination:Toughie...I was raised Seventh Day Adventist, and still technically hold an Ordination there as a Deacon, though at the moment, I'm pretty much Non Denominational. I attend LDS Services with my Wife and her family, but after we get back on our own feet, we're going to start shopping around at different Churches to see if we can find a Congregation that doesn't either bore us to tears, or rub us the wrong way.
Or as my Wife just mentioned, "Not Crazy" sweatdrop What drew you to this guild?err, well...I bought it a few years back when it was the Gaia Geeks Guild. rmcdra mentioned a lack of Christian Guilds that lack the users who try and get as much strife in the guild as they can, so I figured I'd see if I could fix that.
Influential quote:First underlined text I find as I flip my Bible open randomly: Romans 2:9-11 NIV 9There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11For God does not show favoritism.
And so people don't think it's necessary to have a scriptural quote, my thoughts on censorship and the like:
Larry Flint "If the human body's obscene, complain to the manufacturer, not me."

Nines19 rmcdra @Nines19 Eh I'm glad someone did. I was thinking of adding a comment that it didn't have to come from the bible. Thanks though for getting the message that quote does not necessarily imply Bible verse. TBH I'm not completely solid on my knowledge of Biblical quotes to begin with, and (probably because of this) I have yet to find one that really strikes me. The song I quoted from nearly makes me cry every time I hear it, for no reason in particular. I simply well-up with emotion. If that's not "influential," you got me as to what is, heh.
That would be pretty damn influential. Green Day is a great group. I like all the extra meanings the have in their songs. I forgot the name of this song but it was something like "six pack of apathy..." I really liked that one. The reason I chose the verse that it was the only thing that kept me from giving up on Christianity completely despite all the ignoramuses in my religion that made me want to leave.

I think that one was about his stepdad and/or how he didn't want to be when he got older.
Quote: The reason I chose the verse that it was the only thing that kept me from giving up on Christianity completely despite all the ignoramuses in my religion that made me want to leave. I've always seen it this way; if you're going to "walk out" on your god, make sure you're doing it because of that god and not somebody else's opinion of him. Which may or may not also be a pretty good rule with significant others. ninja But that would make sense anyway because we're looking for relationships with our gods, usually. Especially in Christianity.
...this is getting kind of off-topic, heh.
