Is there a difference in "BELIEF" (not religion) when comparing Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans, Satanists, Pagans, et al.? Just the BELIEF! NOT WHO they believe in, nor what they believe.

Belief, in-and-of-itself, is it different?!

but they don't believe in what ancient societies believed in. Religion today is loosely based on all the ancient stuff, but if you ask a devout christian if he believes in Athena, or Apollo, or Zeus for that matter they will say no. It just confuses me that back then people were killed for not believing this stuff and now we laugh when we hear this, bu people today believe in something just a ludicrous as Roman or Greek gods.

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly
his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one
easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air
then opened its mouth to swallow both. As the man sailed
head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"

At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place and, as
the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down
from the clouds.

"I thought you didn't believe in Me!"

"Come on God, give me a break!," the man pleaded. "Two
minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"

Christians are coming together over ideology and not denomination.
In the U.S.A., Conservative Catholics, orthodox, and Protestants are coming together to fight the Liberal Christians with their twisted errors. We must stick to the Bible, natural law and fight the relativist liberal Christians who believe in Gay Marriage, abortion, Euthanasia, "tolerance" for sin, femnist ideas, and not judging other religions, ideas, behaviors, sin.

Ancestral law in ancient Sparta mandated same-sex relationships with youths who were coming of age for all adult men, so long as the men eventually took wives and produced children. The Spartans thought that love and erotic relationships between experienced and novice soldiers would solidify combat loyalty and encourage heroic tactics as men vied to impress their lovers. Once the younger soldiers reached maturity, the relationship was supposed to become non-sexual, but it is not clear how strictly this was followed. There was some stigma attached to young men who continued their relationships with their mentors into adulthood.

There don't seem to be lots of Jewish or Arab people, or Native American Indian, and there aren't a lot of Asians in the media. It seems like people of these races aren't shown as much as Black or White people. I hope this question makes sense.

Through my reading in Quran, I found a verse that I could not clearly understand. It says that [37:22]: "Bring the infidels and their WIVES, and the things they worshipped, Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the Fierce Fire"

Does this mean that a wife of an infidel will be punished for a sin committed by her husband?

I'm just curious, because people are like accusing homosexuals as "criminals" but it's not in the 10 commandments. So is it a major sin? Or is it a sin at all?
