Let's put aside our differences and focus on a world free of hunger war and disease. I was raised christain but I know we must work together for our children. We are being fed lies about each other.
Lies come from one place. I hold my hand out in faith.
Lets turn this thing around.
Any good ideas?

So, I was reading that stupid, little book that all the christians say is great and etc...... When I came across this passage:

Luke
11:23 "He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth"

Why is this Jesus character so mean? I'm either him or against him? That's not very loving nor tolerant. Why should I want to worship a jerk like that? Does anyone else realize that Darth Vader said the same thing in Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith? Why is this Jesus character so much like Darth Vader? Mean. Cruel. You're either with him or against him. Kills countless people. Says that certain people don't deserve rights.

Why would anyone want to worship a jerk like that?

clearly it is the religous who are the BLIND SHEEP being lead by other Blind sheep. Do you actually think ridiculous superstition wasnt all that common in Jesus time? Practically every one believed in satan,angels,spirits,jinn and so on and so on in Jesus time. So do you think "you are blind sheep" was a compliment?

To me there is no difference between one person and another; I behold all as soul-reflections of the one God. I can't think of anyone as a stranger, for I know that we are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings. Then you will be able to love others as your own Self.

I mean ... aside from having faith that it's not. Afterall, the Devil is purported to be very very tricky mixing truth with lies that even the elect might be deceived.

A family I've known my whole life has become ripped apart. The father left the family because he was actually homosexual. He lived in another state for a while, but died of AIDS last year. The two sons have struggled with severe depression for ten or so years. One, call him M, tried to commit suicide when he was sixteen. The other brother, A, just committed suicide two weeks ago. He had been talking about it for months and started scratching his face out of family photos. I talked with M for a long time tonight and he is also thinking about suicide. Would you pray for M and his family?

this guy claims to be Jesus Christ and christians ask, "Is this a cult?" IS THIS A CULT!?!?! The guy is claiming to be JESUS CHRIST, and some christians ask "Is this a cult?'
These same christians will say "This guy is not Preaching the word of God, he only wants money" but then they say "The Bible is the word of God, and our pastor needs the money"(Poor pastor)
Christianity is a CULT. ALL religions are a cult. God isnt speaking to any of you. WAKE UP
God is imaginary

I was born Catholic. I believe in God I just don't agree with certain values of religions. Therefore I guess you could say I am no longer catholic. My bestfriend amanda told me about LaVey Satanism. I think it is an intresting look on life and the human behavior. I agree with a lot of what it says. What do you think about it?

This after noon my daughter and 2 friends were approached by a man who exposed himself to them. It took cops almost an hour to respond to the call. That man could have reached the next town by then. Made my family wonder if they would have responded faster if we had also stated we were also calling the news station. We didn't do that, but i still wonder if that would have made them show up faster to hunt the pervert down.

"Then, again, sever thy children and thy children's children from Cain's children; do not let them ever mix with those, nor come near them either in their words or in their deeds."

Then sin increased among them greatly; until a man married his own sister, or daughter, or mother, and others; or the daughter of his father's sister, so that there was no more distinction of relationship, and they no longer knew what is iniquity; but did wickedly, and the earth was defiled with sin; and they angered God the Judge, who had created them.

Thus did this Genun multiply sin exceedingly; he also acted with pride, and taught the children of Cain to commit all manner of the grossest wickedness, which they knew not; and put them up to manifold doings which they knew not before.

Then when they were drunk, hatred and murder increased among them; one man used violence against another to teach him evil taking his children and defiling them before him.

I mean come on, from Christianity to Catholicism, to Scientology, everywhere, people will try and force their views on me, but can never back up anything with valuable information, not even anything substantial. I am not asking for substantiated evidence or rebuttal, but I really want to know, how long will it take to get a point that everyone will believe something different?

I was talking with my kid earlier about different religions and their concept of "god", and became curious. I would like to know what constitutes "a god" or "the God" in your religion. What differentiates "God" (or goddess, if you have those) from, say, and angel or a djinn or a fairy or a superhero?

I would especially like to hear from polytheists on this question. How do you define "this character is a god", from "this character is not a god"?

Atheists, besides "fairy tale character", what would y ou expect to find in somebody claiming to be God? I want you to work for your 2 points this time!

Yesterday, I was eating dinner with a close friend. A college girl of about 20 and her friend were sitting a couple of tables away from us. She was a fairly pretty girl, with an athletic build. I was talking to my friend and eating, but it was difficult to concentrate, because this girl and her friend were loud giggly types. After awhile I overheard this girl recounting her day at soccer practice. She said that during practice she ripped a huge high pitched fart (gross). She said that she thought she messed her pants. So she preceded to pull her shorts and panties back to try to see if she had. She couldn't tell, so she kept holding her panties back and got one of the girls on the team to look down her drawers and see if she had pooped herself (nasty!). These girls were laughing hysterically as if this type of behavior wasn't out of the norm. For one I didn't know ladies of her age had accidents? Secondly, I thought ladies didn't talk about such rude behavior? Fill me in girls!

i am just curious to know if it would go against Islam, or Islamic law or something.
If a Catholic gets married, it must be in the Catholic church, otherwise the Catholic church does not recognize the marriage as valid, as being a sacrament.
so can the Muslim man and Catholic woman get married in a Catholic Church without going against the man's(Muslim man) religion?
