Please, answer intelligently; I find most people never really dig into their own conclusions. Think critically before you answer this question.

Gandhi said "Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth"

Since that is obviously true, and each of us has our own interpretations/beliefs regarding what is true, then how can we ever come to a consensus?

Is our debating therefore completely worthless and a waste of time?

Christ took away any reason for that fear. It's the major point of the crucifixion. We believe in Christ which allows us to forget the fear and focus on living lives that make a difference in this world. We're left to bring heaven hear and represent God. So why argue that we are only followers because of fear? It's the opposite of the actual truth.

"if you open your mind to other religions then your basicly abandoning your own"
a direct quote from my last question. btw thanks for being honest in your opinion.

i guess what i'm trying to say is this, i don't understand how opening your mind and being educated means you abnadon your personal beliefs.

Didn't Jews and Palestinians live peacefully together say 100 years ago or something? Anybody know?

is it because they feel threatened by the spanish language because it has 5 words for each one english word to convey the same message or mean the same thing? one note: if one learns spanish one will automatically understand its culture & be able to compete for bilingual job requirements, thus you hit three birds with one stone. isnt that a triple asset? keeping in mind that spanish is here to stay (it is not going elsewhere).

Is it possible to fall in love with someone you've never actually met face-to-face, but just been in contact with through long-distance correspondence?

This is not a real scenario, just hypothetical...

Given that there seems to be no consensus--at least so far--on the definitions of atheist, theist, and agnostic, maybe the labels are meaningless.

I am curious do you think people following other religions will also go to your version of heaven? Or do you believe all other religions are doomed to your version of hell? Please state your religion first and then your belief citing any certain religions you have strong beliefs about.

And I am sincerely interested; so just know if you go off on a ramapage or are a total non-believer I will simply ignore your anser because it will not be helpful and you will be wasting your own time.

How about it's opposite..what is it gnostic? what's that about. I've heard these terms mentioned but unsure.
Reminds of the saying "Ignorance is bliss"

Pt. 1: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aje8iCj.2XG_owo6Ta5Xp3Xzy6IX?qid=20060824112433AALzsYU

the general consensus of answerers to this question seems to be that belief does not equal truth.

So going along with these results, I will ask these questions:

How can you tell someone that you KNOW they WILL go to hell?
How can you KNOW that you WILL go to heaven?
How can you tell someone Allah IS the ONLY way?
How can you tell someone there IS no god?

What makes your belief more truthful than theirs?

(not that i am saying everyone does this)

i see a lot of people here are very closed minded and won't even consider other beliefs. is it because you feel you might lose your beliefs if you tollerate others?

I've noticed when a homosexual asks a question (or a straight person asks a question about homosexuality) and people put that they don't agree with being gay that people tend to not mind. But, when someone puts that being gay is a sin they get like 10 of those "thumbs down" things. Personally, I think people know the truth that the Bible is true and what is says goes which is why they give you a "thumbs down" for disagreeing. Are people that lame these days that they will do anything to disagree with the Bible? Does it threaten you that bad that you have to be against it and anyone who reads it or believes it? So sad...

I don't believe in any gods but I believe in lots of stuff. I don't have to see something before I believe it . . . like I believe in the Big Bang though you can be sure I never saw that. And I believe in human kindness, and taking care of the environment.

Is it just that the christians think you either have to believe in something for which there is no proof, or else you believe in nothing?

This is getting to be one of my pet peeves I think . . .
