I think all organized religions were created by men, and not by God. I don't think there is any one true religion. I think more evil and atrocities have been comitted in the name of religion than anything else.

i started reading this novel and was repulsed - the scene didn't appear loving and passionate but quite the opposite. i was surprised because the author was a woman.

why wouldn't you desire a gentle and devoted partner

thanx

What are your theories on why African Americans are one of the most religious minority groups in America. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. NO BIBLE QUOTES. NO RACIST OR OFFENSIVE COMMENTS.

I work for a local utility and I spend extended periods of time in peoples houses and apartments. I have a breathing condition and frequently ask people not to smoke while I am working in their homes. Most people are ok with this but some have gotten very angry. Am I wrong to ask this?

Are there many of you? I know that many people are not vegetarian because it's God's will that we have 'dominion' over the rest of the world, but if you are a vegetarian, why are you?

Love to all veggies and non-veggies out there,

Why are people so blinded to the fact that Christmas was created just for the sake of businesses making more money. Most merchants count on Christmas time to get them out of the red. Am I the only one who sees the true meaning of Christmas, which is to get as many people as possible to spend as much money as they can. Christmas is not a Biblical holiday. Jesus asked his followers to remember his death, not his birthday.

Now Christians, if you haven't read Buddhism and put pointless posts, I guess the answer to the above question would be "No".

'All who make themselves great will be made humble, but those who make themselves humble will be made great. ' - Luke 14: 7-11

I know a lot of self-righteous Christians (I also know many who are not, but this is a question for those who are.)

How can you justify being self-righteous or putting yourself above others? You may think you are not, but to me any version of 'so-and-so is going to hell' or 'you are being guided by satan' is saying that these people are worse than yourself. As are any feelings of pride at being more moral, ideas of self-importance.

It's one thing when you are a child and brought up to believe in a certain religion. But, as you grow older, don't you think that people should at least think about what they have been taught and decide for themselves what they do or do not believe. Just because you are born into a religion, is that reason enough to stay in that religion for the rest of your lives?

I am studying a certain religion and was told it is forbidden to drink coffee and tea by members of this religion. I was wondering why since it has been proven medically they are helpful in cases of some health problems as well as prevention of others. I also know that in the OLD testament we were forbidden to eat certain meat but that has all been forgotten with the New testament.

********************************************

DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT BUDDHISM

********************************************

The message of love given by Christ doesn't seem to be a new discovery - it has already been taught more profoundly by the Buddha five hundred years before Jesus. It seems the Buddhists even have a word for this unconditional loving-compassion - called 'mettha' in Pali language.

Has anyone tried the loving kindness meditation in Buddhism? What were the results?
