(Pope Leo XIII).

Does belief in your religion necessarily negate belief in all others? I ask in response to the many who claim all religions are right. That all religions believe in the same god that created all of mankind - thereby ignoring all the contradictions inherent within each biblical narrative.

why is it that most religions are against killing and wrong doings, when many people have died over religion? if it takes a war to prove that a god is real, is it really worth the fight? religious people often use the saying 'god makes things happen for a reason'...so you're saying god made all those wars break out over him? well then, that must be one selfish god! in all of history, i have never heard of a tragic war where athiests fight to prove god is NOT real. so it may be just me, but atheists must have more common sense then religious people. that's just my opinion. what do all of you think?

Force may conquer the body, but it cannot conquer the spirit. You may subdue an individual or community by the use of force, but you cannot make them believe that you are right. The Algerians were dominated by colonial France for about a hundred years, but that did not make them love their rulers. As soon as they had the opportunity, they rose in arms against their masters and broke their yoke.

It is illogical to believe that Islam had spread itself by force. Mohammad, as one person, could not force thousands or hundreds to embrace his faith. History testifies that Mohammad lived thirteen years in Mecca after he proclaimed his faith, under a constant threat from his opponents who were the overwhelming majority of the Meccans. Anyone that desired to join Islam was denounced, threatened, and persecuted by the Meccans; and, in spite of this, the number of Muslims steadily increased.

Can we conceive that Mohammad under these circumstances could convert people by force when he himself was a subject of persecution? At a later stage, the Muslims had become powerful enough to fight their opponents; and history shows that they did fight for Islam. But this does not mean that Islam had converted people by force. There are now over 100 million Muslims in Indonesia and scores of millions in West Africa.

All these millions were converted through peaceful contacts with Muslims who came to these areas as merchants or educators. There is, however, no reason to deny that Muslims were militant The Muslims actually were good defenders of their freedom We know that no ideology would spread or live in an unfree society. Freedom of belief, practice, and speech, are necessary for the growth of any ideology. In the absence of a constitutional protection of freedom, it would be the duty of the people of the ideology to secure their freedom on their own. If this does not justify the military might of the early Muslims, there will be no way to justify the military might of any modern nation that rises in arms to defend its freedom when it is threatened by its adversaries.

Ive been a Christian all my life,well,Most of it(lol),thanx to my mom being a Minister and all.Well,there are certain things I dont believe in Christianity.I dont believe in "God's Will" - that he can take you through "the Wilderness" in order to bring you out and make you see his Glory.If he wanted Us to Praise him for something he did for us,why not just let us Praise him for something he did,rather than Taking us thru hell?
Anyway,I also dont believe in "A plan" that God has for all of us.
We all are "children" or God,and he loves us equally.Right now,there is a kid in Somalia or wherever who died coz he didnt have any food to eat.And if he gets a Biscuit to eat,He is soo thankful to God for Providing him food.
In the Bible,there are certain cases where God "Delivered the enemies of Israel into their hands,and they(Israel) killed them(Enemies)"
In the same Bible,it says its wrong to take Human life.Its a sin actually.And how come they wrote the bible,events from the 1st Century
