many religious/spirtual people can agree that we're in a fallen/abnormal state. This is why we pray,meditate-nirvana,etc. inorder to reconcile ourselves with the Divine each in our own way. My question is are our works enought to satisfy God or so we need him to mercifully reach back to us through a savior>?

It is weird that some people cut and copy massive text files as a form of speading the WORD.
Seems lazy and downright deceptive.

We set them up and ask questions like "Do I look fat in this dress" and then tell them to be honest and then get made at them for their honesty. I found a man that does answer fairly but does not allow me the discomfort of being too brutal. I like a man that can talk/comfort. Anyone else !!!!

Read subsequent interpretations of the 1st Amendment. The SCOTUS says that they're illegal because it means that the Government is "showing favor" towards religion. So what's the deal?

I don't have a problem with it if ALL religions are represented....but everyone knows they aren't. On that same token....I don't have a problem with the 10 Commandements being shown in a courtroom if ALL other religions have representation as well. The USA is a big melting pot of different people and beliefs....it's not fair to show bias.

Why does the semitic god (christian god/yahweh/allah) say that he's a jealous god? Would it not force you to question his very being! Ideally one who is infallible, assured of his qualities would not be jealous of others. If this god is not perfect why worship him is monotheism demands perfection in the one supreme being! Can anyone give me a logical answer instead of the usual commandments that tell you not to worship other! For a change think for yourself, afterall if there is a god he gave you the brain to think.
Also don't tell me the disbelievers eyes are covered so they donot see. If you cannot debate a point logically don't just recite passages written/advised by an obviously fallible god!

What the Bible says about Religious Tolerance

Deuteronomy 13:6-10
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.

2 Chronicles 15:13
Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
