I will not tell you whether I'm religious or not as it makes no difference.

But, this is what I'm curious about... the people that say they're Christian and sin without end... they forget completely about God, according to the Bible every action, every breath is for God. You place NO one before God.

This is just one of the ten commandments.

Another one is no sex before marriage and NO THOUGHTS OF LUST (ahem) - those are considered adultery.

The majority of Christians just say they believe... but they don't even practice what they preach.

God won't forgive you if you sin day and night without end. I guess all these wannabe Christians aren't going to Heaven as they think they are. They're destined for Hell.

Wouldn't that be correct?

PS - I am aware that most Christians in the R&S section are True Christians... the ones you don't meet every day. But what are your thoughts on the other SUPPOSED Christians?

I asked a previous question about if a believer would kill if commanded by god. I was shocked at how many said yes.
In Iraq and other parts of the middle east the terrorists kill because some very charismatic leaders told them that god wants them to kill for him. Are die hard christians in this country on the path to possibly having the same fanatasism?

Supposedly, Islam's Allah is the same god as the Jehovah of the Jews and Christians. Until around 600 AD, Allah supposedly sent many prophets and none of them said that Allah thought Mecca was important, or even mentioned Mecca at all. Then suddenly, Mohammed comes along and says the Allah wants everyone to bow towards Mecca when praying and visit there at least once. It seems a bit queer that all of sudden, God should decide that this town is so incredibly important when he never mentioned it before.

Are there any Muslim sects that believe that the rules about Mecca are not divinely inspired? Or do all the Muslims in the world actually just go along with this weird sudden fetish that God supposedly developed for Mecca?

I think it's a given that there are certain large evils in this world, famine, war, destitution, terrorism and suchlike.

But what about closer to home?

Isn't it time that religions set aside their differences for their gods and beliefs, and worked towards a common goal of aiding humanity rather than dividing it?

I think a large amount of people have lost sight of what a lot of religion entails - kindness and giving to others.

Just think that if for one morning of each month, every single muslim, christian, jehovah (etc etc) gave up worship and devoted it to doing something for others what could be achieved? Caring for old people? Facilities for youths, coaches for sport, or even just lending a hand to your friend.

Are religious followers so blinded by their own need to get to their utopia, that they forget some of basic fundamental principles along the way? Do you think it's time to believe more in humanity, and a little less in omnipotent entities?

It's really bizzare. And what about creationism THROUGH evolution?

Why so much focus on the body and such little focus on the spirit?

Quote, "In the 1400s, the Inquisition shifted its focus to witchcraft. Priests tortured untold thousands of women into confessing that they were witches who flew through the sky and engaged in sex with the devil -- then they were burned or hanged for their confessions. Witch hysteria raged for three centuries in a dozen nations. Estimates of the number executed vary from 100,000 to 2 million. Whole villages were exterminated. In the first half of the 17th century, about 5,000 "witches" were put to death in the French province of Alsace, and 900 were burned in the Bavarian city of Bamberg."

Why would they be extinct as a result of the flood if Noah obeyed and took them on the ark? If they died out soon after, does that mean God's plan to save the animals was flawed? Most importantly, can you not see that taking the flood story as a factual historical account creates more problems than it solves?

If they had no eyes I could see how one might argue they were made this way to live underground. But having an organ that no longer functions seems more readily explicable in evolutionary terms, is it not?

Like the ranks of Bishops and Cardinals and Popes and Holy Sacraments and holy communions, confirmations and such. Jesus never preached any of this. Why not just focus on the bible? Why all the Jazz? I am a methodist, but my mom is Catholic. And do Catholics think that if you're not catholic then you wont go to heaven?

Quote, "In the Third Crusade, after Richard the Lion-Hearted captured Acre in 1191, he ordered 3,000 captives -- many of them women and children -- taken outside the city and slaughtered. Some were disemboweled in a search for swallowed gems. Bishops intoned blessings. Infidel lives were of no consequence. As Saint Bernard of Clairvaux declared in launching the Second Crusade: 'The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is glorified'."

Takes me about three hours, that's to take a shower (40 mins), brush my teeth (3 mins), wash my face (3 mins), put on make up (5 mins), do my hair (5-10 mins)... the rest of the time is fretting over what to wear, looking for my shoes... finding the perfect pair of socks....lallygagging...
and the funny thing is that I can't fit in enough time for breakfast.
