Have you ever made the choice to never tell a lie again, for any reason? If so, what is your experience? If you haven't, do you think you could if you wanted to? If most people hate liars, then does that mean that they hate themselves as well? What do you think would be the possible outcome if no one ever lyed again?

More and more these days I hear Americans tell me they have "become" Buddhist. However, if I question them further about their beliefs they seem to lack any real understanding of the forms and history of Buddhism.

One example being, many converts claim they prefer Buddhism as it is inherently more peaceful. Most seem shocked when you mention war, violence, and abuse of power that took place in the name of Buddhism throughout history.

Other "Buddhists" seem shocked when you mention there are different sects than "meditating a lot".

I don't have a problem with most Buddhist sects, but I can't understand why people claim to convert to a religion without any understanding of the religion.

Pope Leo the 7th said "Those with the smallest of minds, are the easiest to fill with faith".

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he
read her a goodnight story. From time to time, she would
take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled
cheek. Then, she would touch her own cheek, thoughtfully.

Finally she spoke, "Grandpa, did God make you?"

"Yes, sweetheart," he answered, "God made me a long time ago."

"Did God make me too?" she asked.

Yes, indeed, honey," he answered. "God made you just a
little while ago."

She touched his face and then her own again.

"He's getting better at it, isn't He?" she said ...

Today, people can accept they believe in God and under the unspecific name of GOD many people can join together as muslims and jews and christians. But why when someone says I believe in Jesus, people starts rejecting that person even offending him. This is like the matrix movie, we live in a world where we act we live but we dont know anything about the meaning or the purpose of ourselves in this life, and nobody ask theirselves am I living the truth of my life or is there something that I should know about my existence. I'm a believer and I'm pretty sure that right now you are feeling something negative against myself. I wont ask what can we do to make poverty history as the Millionair Bono guy with his ironic question: look at me I have so much money and I'm asking you what can we do to stop poverty...well I guess that his answer is in his bank account or in his pocket. But think about my question why do YOU (if so) would reject someone who believe in Jesus. Thank you all !!!

God is omniscent (or "all knowing" as the bible says). Know, knowledge is not fact untill it happens. I belive God can try to "push" us in the right direction, and he knows EVERYTHING. But he can't know the future. He knows all of the paths we can take in life, and the places we COULD end up. But I belive He doesn't even know the future...
(He was suprised Adam and Eve disobeyed him)
If you agree, say so. If you don't, say why.

I said it already, so people start invading foreign nations and forcefully converting them. Launch crusades and burn innocent women on my name! Spend innumerable amounts of money building temples to worship my father and me, both of us love the poor, but we’d rather have that money spent on valuable golden objects while millions of people starve to death.

Word of God.

So obey.

Did he create people so they could worship him? Did he need the ego boost? Was he bored? What is the reason for it all? (please no glib comments you learned in church or watching the 700 club. I'd appriciate some real unique thought here).

Who agrees with my view that the 7/7 attackers were not muslim, and that they are people who THINK they are - because what they did is not practicing this faith?

It seems very odd that God is said to be an all loving and compassionate being that loves everyone. But if you don't love/worship/believe in him you are cast in to hell. That sounds like a jealous angry god to me... That sounds like a god that punishes people for not inflating his ego. Any rational explanations? (please avoid repeating trite comments you've heard from church or your parents or friends. I'd like some actual thought to go into the answers).

A lot of people believe that Jesus was just a good teacher. But, what good teacher ever claimed to be God Himself? Countless times Jesus said that he was the Son of God. In fact, that is what got him killed in the end, which is not only shown in the Bible, but is a historical fact. So if someone goes around saying that they are God and they are not, obviously they are crazy, a terrible person, or are actually God. So why do so many people, who would otherwise consider themselves informed on the topic of religion, go around saying that Jesus was just a good teacher when it is simply not a logical option?

Our country, (u.s.a.) laws, even wars that were fought dating way back to past presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson had a major acknowledgement and awe for God. Man can't erase what he did'nt create. The clay does not mold the potter. How can an atheist decide if God or anything pertaining to spirituality should or should'nt be when he or she is a non believer to start with. Jim Jones, cult leader of the People's Temple was a "Major" example. He was just one of many ultimate, dark human beings, who proved the actual truth that................God is!, God is needed, God is sought by many, God is welcomed, God is wanted and, more importantly, God will always be because it's a fact he's always been. Those who put in overtime opposing God whether they realize it or not, share a portion of that Jim Jones spirit because they fight so, so hard to eliminate God. Atheist don't realize that they prove God is, and needed the more they complain. God saved, me from G,Jonestown....God is!
