Religion & Spirituality - 11 July 2006

Buddha lived around 560 B.C., Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses even Isaiah (700)B.C. lived by God's covenants, truths and laws way before this guy came along. They prophecied of Jesus, they understood His principles and nature. Buddha himself when asked to define the state of nirvana replied that he himself had never tried to solve this question, He just wanted to show man the way to escape the suffering of life, not to describe what he would find once he had been liberated. Buddha appears to have been sincere but severly misguided and yet so many people worship him or his way instead of worshipping the one who is truth. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father but through me. How sad that people seek all else.

I am not saying Muslims are bad people. Most of them are very nice people. But compared to all the religions, the chances of being a religious extremist are much much higher if one is a Muslim. It has been that way since Mohammed founded Islam in the 6th century.

I think Islam teaches religious conquests. Even Mohammad did religious conquests. Even the Christians performed massacres in the name of religion in the medieval times... and the Muslims did too! Muslims went on conquests and destroyed churches and other places of worships.

Over the years Christians have moved away from the religious fanaticism. Hindus, Buddhists were never fanatics. But the Muslims have got stuck in the 6th century. They are just not coming out. Had it been not for the OIL (thanks to the combustion engine), middle east would have been the poorest regions.

Can anyone explain to me why does Islam produce extremists "consistently" for last 1500 years?

Time to question Islam.

Don't you know that scientists are now disagreeing with the old theory that the universe is expanding from a central point now that they can see more of the universe? Why do people gamble their whole life on changeable scientific theory instead of God?

...and God catches me walking around in my bedroom wearing nothing but a leather crotch-less panty, would He be upset with me?

Would He cuff me behind the ear and send me straight to Purgatory?

I want to limit the chances of that happening.

Thanks!

Our society seems geared to push everyone faster and faster. Meanwhile, the time traditionally given to children (Three luxurious months in summer) is either stolen to keep them in inefficient schools even longer, or is filled with meaningless babble from TV, Radio, i-pods, etc. Does anyone still take necessary time to think about important issues, like what you want to do with your life, who is pulling the strings of this society, what you are truly good at, what is the basis of your religion, and does it really make sense, (Scientific Humanism is a real, if unofficial, religion, and is subscribed to by most who claim that there is no god.)

Why is it that religion is not confined to places of worship?

Because all you get is text from Websites like Wikipedia. That is often a copyright violation. Copy-and-pasters frequently get their answers rated as "best answer", earning them 10 points, though an answerer who put some effort in real resarch don't get the reward they deserve.

For you who dont know, Fred Phleps created the group "God Hates Fags" and is the single most reason why I believe Christianity is evil. Most of the people are decent good people, but this is what happens when you become an extremist, which basically comes from rejecting what you are being educated and put all your trust in God.

If any of you God Hates Fags people are here, if you ever protest at a soldiers funeral near me, I will come and bash every one of your skulls in. You are evil, and had I the power, I would send you to Tehran.

Any other opinions?

I've had several friends die within the last year. And all of the "evil" people are still walking around. I've heard from various religions, but it still doesn't make sense to me.

I understand that wicca believes in greek gods and goddess but the concept of wicca relates to witchcraft and witchcraft believes in only one thing and thats the devil and and they also believe everything is free! they believe that all their probelms for money, beauty, love and so on comes at a wave of a wand and spells or rituals can not cure urs probelms only u can. If u screw things up thats ur fault no ones elses and also force people to love u is wrong. Would u want people to force u to love them. Love is suppose to happen at a magical moment and happens spontagaously not when u want that person to love u blindlessly. the only reason that person would love u is because u forced them to. Money yeah its hard to get. But everyone has to work to get what they want. If u want a big house out by the ocean and being able to smell the ocean breeze with the wind on ur face and looking at the sunset setting over the sun i suggest u get off ur lazy *** and do something inside of whiny that everything isn't the way u want it. If u want to live the fairytale then u better work for it. I know Cinderella didn't thats because that was a fairytale written by someone who didn't get the perfect life they wanted. Beauty who cares if most of the people in hollywood have tan skin, beautiful bodies, just perfect thats because of them are fake and the ones that are not took care of themselves, they took responisbility on how they wanna look and act. And if ur born with straight brown, blonde, or whatever hair so what the color of ur hair reflects who u are and if u have brown and die it blonde then ur hiding from the world of what u are and also tryin to be someone u are not. I'm not gonna saw everyone is born beautiful but everyone no matter what as someone that loves them and when u feel loved truely thatst he best gift u could ever have u just have to take time to realize it! Look inside urself the person u are now do u wanna be that person do u wanna be dependent to something that could very possible ruin ur life. I'm not sayin to believe in god just think about wicca, witchcraft, christainity or whatever religion, look at ur possiblities. Do u wanna be ruled by someone that loves u or hates u, u deicide what religion loves and hates u. Your salavation, ur story of ur life is in ur hands no one elses. Every mistake u did is ur fault and u need to take that responibility so u made a mistake ur lifes not over if it was u would be died. Do u feel died or do u feel alive and feel like no one can take away anything u have. U choose its time to write ur own story!

If I pray really hard do you think I will get a miracle bonus of extra questions...have you ever got bonus questions after praying for some? If you prayed and didn't get any that would be despicable and an abomination and I would hate my prayers to be ignored by God.
