...on this site than there are believers? I would think that believers would be here to talk about Him and answer each other questions about other religions. Instead there are more non-believers that want to argue about God's lack of existence or our lack of proof than anything. Does anyone else think it's kinda strange that non-believers talk more about God here? I know that we all have the right to free speech and such, I'm just wondering why I find more non-believers in a religious chat than believers.

I'd also want to ask why we have to 'prove' that God existence versus you 'proving' that He doesn't? It's all about personal choice, personal opinion, personal faith. Believers have their faith, their God, to defend. It's a personal issue. Why do non-believers have to defend something that doesn't exist to them?

I Dont find any logic in the concept of GOD. If some one ask you a questions which you know well to answer you will never say its because of GOD. Insted if I ask you something which seience couldnot reveal till today will be answered as GOD. GOD was the answer for many questions yesterday. But not today. Tomorrow when human being can answer for all question including the secrets of universe 'will the concept of GOD will be there'?

There has been some talk in Washington that is believed to be priming US citizens for civilian sacrifice toward the war on terror. That sacrifice may be announced as religious profiling to stop radical Islam recruits in US prisons. To protect the US from terrorist attacks, would you support religious profiling?

What has happened to the world?- kids are totally out of control. They don't go to school and if they do they assault their teachers. If they get expelled- they return and shoot their teachers or classmates. They are rude, aggressive, lazy and mostly stupid as hell(because they don"t go to school). Who thinks we should bring back some proper punishment for these little bast*rds! They should be seen and not heard!! The next kid who gives me grief is going to be introduced to a whole world of pain

People always say when people die "It was their time, god chose from them to join him" and at the same time people say the murderer sinned and he needs to ask forgiveness from god.

The Indian god Krishna too bears a tremendous resemblance to Jesus in the story of his mission and his divinity. He was the incarnation of the Indian's supreme god Vishnu (the preserver and protector of the world) in the womb of Devaki. The Hindoo prophet Bala predicted that a divine Savior would "become incarnate in the house of Yadu, and issue forth to mortal birth from the womb of Devaci (a Holy Virgin), and relieve the oppressed earth of its load of sin and sorrow." Upon Krishna's birth, a great chorus of angles proclaimed "In the delivery of this favored woman, nature shall have cause to exalt." His birth was indicated by a star in heaven. Although of royal blood, he was born in a cave. He was presented with gifts of sandalwood and perfumes. His foster father was told to flee and hide him lest king Kansa might take his life. King Kansa had ordered all male infants born on that night to be slain. One of his first miracles was the healing of a leper. He was later slain and this resulted in an eclipse of the sun and a black circle forming around the moon. Spirits were seen on all sides and he descended into hell, rose again, and ascended into heaven with many people being witnesses to his bodily accent. He will have a "second coming" in the future which his followers continue await. There are countless other similarities with what is known today as "Christianity" even though his religion was well establish centuries before the birth of Jesus . The accounts of Krishna's childhood agree quite closely with the apocryphal accounts of Jesus' childhood. In the ancient epic poems, Krishna is simply regarded as a great hero, it was not until about the 4th century BC that he was elevated to the position of a god

The US Government did a war with Iraq and stated that its main element was to destroy terrorist elements and to set a democratic government in Iraq.Right now Iraq is in shambles.
As long as Saddam was in power he did commit atrocities but there were no Shia - Sunni clashes.Now Saddam is gone ,A government is also set up.The American troops are In certain areas of Iraq and trying to find out extremist elements.
But what about the rest of the Iraqis? recent figures state that The Shia-Sunni clashes are happening every day you are fighting with each other and 50 people are dying every day .Meaning the Iraqis are killing amongst themselves.You say you have a peaceful religion then why all these hate amongst your own Sects?
Buddhist have to sects They never have killled amongst themselves, Jains have two sects they never have killed amongst themselves,850 million Hindus are divided into many sects none of them ever have or killed each other amongst themselves.
So why Shia Sunni Hate each other and kill each other?

There's this man who comes in every Sunday around 10:45pm and goes through all the newspapers and picks out all the coupons. Sure no one buys them anyway, and my manager says he's really doing nothing illegal, but I think there should be some loophole that makes it wrong. Can anyone side with me on this belief? Do you want people dismantling your unsold merchadise regardless of what time of day it is? Should I take out the coupons next time, hide them, and give him a scavenger hunt list next time?

Somewhere in the Bible, I've read something about....those who choose to pray in public so that they can be seen by others as Holy, vs those who just go about their praying behind closed doors with no need to be seen by others. (I know I probably didn't word this properly).

These are opposite words but i need a word to sum them up.... for example to sum up happiness and sadness i would say they are emotions. How do you sum up 'fickleness' and 'fidelity' in this case? (I'm not referring to love... i'm referring to human fickleness as a whole and fidelity on the obedience of social codes and laws)

I realize Christianity started basically 2000 years ago.
When did the Catholic religion start?
When did the religion of Isam start?
When did the religion of Buddhism start?
And possibly the oldest when did the Jewish religion start?

What is the oldest form of religion? I'd think someone like the Indians worshiping nature basically.

Lets say you're shopping at the grocery store and see an average family of a mother, a father, and a young boy and girl. Would you silently pray in your head for the son (and only the son)? why or why not? Would you willing walk up to the parents and ask if you could pray for their son (and only the son)? why or why not?

Now lets say you're shopping in the same store and you see a family about the same. A mother, a father, a little girl and her young brother who is noticeably handicapped. Would you willingly walk up to the parents and ask if you could pray for their son? Would you silently pray for the boy in your head without approaching the family? Would you be more likely to pray for the boy in this situation than the other? and what about the daughter? why or why not? {{Be Honest}}

I know this is a lot of questions but it's something I come across a lot of in my life and I would like to know your opinion. thanks
