The world has problems whose root cause is religion. Is this something you would agree with?
I look at war in the middle east and the terrorist attacks on America and England and Spain, and I feel like the catalyst for these is religion.

I also see in America a Culture War, where the "ultra-conservative" positions are being based on the Bible. As an example of this is the literal interpretation of Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 2:7 used to justify intelligent design; and the attack on gay rights using such Bible passages as Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:24-27.

So here is my question, what is the real problem in your estimation?

1. The holy books themselves . . . Holy Bible or Qur'an?

2. The religious leaders . . who are interpreting these books and using what they see to play on the bigotry of the followers.

I tend to believe its more 2, I hope its 2, because if its 2 there is hope that we could use 1 in a more positive interpretation.

What are your thoughts.

How do christians explain this extreme punishment.
of course it wasnt just Adam & Eve that got punished either. According to the bible, we all got punished.

Ya I know ~2006 years of systematic brainwashing is hard to overcome, but it will be the most terrifying and enlightening thing ever to happen when you realize that when you die, you are dead.

John 12 verse 48 "He that rejecteth me hath one that judges him the words that i have spoken the same shall judge him at the judgement seat."
if a doctor tells you why you feel you are dying the medication to get-and offers it to you and you say not i will get better my own way-and you die-is the doctor to be blamed or you?

I read it here on yahoo answers that people who fight others aren't following the will of God. If thats true there must be something wrong with my Bible. I read in my Bible in the book of Joshua, Judges, 1Samuel that the nation of Israel went to war and had the blessing of your God.

If those Israelites went to fight at God's request and it is in the Bible does that mean that they were fighting on God's request or is this a metaphor or is it a lie?

PETERSBURG, Ky. - Like most natural history museums, this one has exhibits showing dinosaurs roaming the Earth. Except here, the giant reptiles share the forest with Adam and Eve.


That, of course, is contradicted by science, but that's the point of the $25 million Creation Museum rising fast in rural Kentucky.

Its inspiration is the Bible ? the literal interpretation that contends God created the heavens and the Earth and everything in them just a few thousand years ago.

"If the Bible is the word of God, and its history really is true, that's our presupposition or axiom, and we are starting there," museum founder Ken Ham said during recent tour of the sleek and modern facility, which is due to open next year.

Ham, an Australian native who started the Christian publishing company Answers in Genesis in the late 1970s, said the goal of his privately funded museum is to change minds and rebut the scientific point of view.

"We're going to show you that we can make sense o

Bearing in mind what happend the last time was presented with a cross of his own...

I personally find the cross offensive - and feel that it symbolzies nothing more than the power of Rome, and its ability to crush all that stand in its way - sort of like a hood ornament or hunting trophy...

Do you agree there is a serious crisis in America? I have seen on yahoo answers people asking evolutionists to explain why human footprints are inside dinosaur footprints, that this is proof that human walked with dinosaur, this disproves evolution and proves the Bible, this is their claim.

Is this a failure of Education in America,

Is this a cultural problem, that these people will go to Church's where they will be indoctrinated into this cult mentality?

Have we been dealing with this problem the wrong way, thinking a Simpsons episode where Homer goes back in time will do it?

Do you feel as I do, that its not believe in God that in these situations in what is wrong, but inability to critically reason . . . but to critically reason one would need to understand the facts.

This is not a genetic human thats 65 million years old, we can not determine the age of a footprint. How does a cult-church eliminte this capacity for reason?

Is that particular saying found in the Bible? Not that I've scanned the entire Bible, but I've never seen it. Also, if we REALLY were able to help ourselves, we wouldn't need help from God. That statement has me wondering about it's validity. Why? People who have issues in their lives. They cry out to God in times of distress and he helps them. Like King David. In times of distresss, Kind David would literally pour his heart out to God. Evidence that King David wasn't able to help himself. So I wonder about the validity of this statement. Comments? Over analyizing it? Maybe. Maybe not. I guess that point that I'm trying to make is that most people can't help themselves. Ok. Let's talk about addictions. How may people are able to break free of additions all by themselves verses the people who sincerely pray to God and are able to break free of addicitions?

please dont attack me-this question is about Jesus-i didnt die for your sins or rise to offer to come into your heart to be your friend-Revelation 3 vs 19&20 "Behold i stand at your heart's door and knock if u let me in, i will forgive your sins and become your friend."
thanks alot-if you claim to be Jewish or muslim or anything else and reject him and what he says-why will u not do what he asks you to do-what else do u think about him? what did he ever do against you? im not asking what people have done wrong in his name? do you hate a person -who another person has hurt you and said they were the other person? example Jesus is your friend-even if u dont like him-and someone comes up and hits you and says this is from Jesus-do u get upset with Jesus or with the person that hit you or both?

So where is this precious God?
1.Where was he when Jessica Lunsford (age 9) was raped and
buried alive.
2.Where was he when Maddie Cliffton (age 11) was murdered by
her next door neighbor?
3.Where was he when DreShawna Davis (age 8) was killedin her
own home by a stray bullet.
Does He sit on his mighty throne and get off on our misery. He needs to get off of His fat *** and do some work for a change. At what point did he quit giving a **** about us?

If there are over a billion Muslims in the world: and a lot of this violence and terrorism is being caused by a very small minority of Muslims; and Islam is supposed to be a peaceful religion; the Quran doesn’t advocate violence; where are all the peaceful Muslims and why do they not speak out against the violent extremists? Do I not have something correct in what I say above?

The peaceful majority is being given a bad reputation by the violent minority. This is exacerbated when the peaceful majority will not defend their own image to outsiders by speaking against the minority. Is there no self-policing within Islam? Why all the silence? What am I missing? Or are all non-Muslims just being duped?

in the old testament YAHWEH has said, "MY WORD ENDURETH FOREVER." "I AM AN UNCHANGING ELOHIM." "THIS IS A COVENANT UNTO MY PEOPLE." "DO NOT ADD, NOR DETRACT FROM MY WORD FOR, MY WORD IS PERFECT." knowing these are direct quotes, why do people still refer to the new testament as truth, and say the old testament has been thrown out? thrown out by whom? how can the new testament be, when HE said,"I AM AN UNCHANGING ELOHIM." "MY WORD ENDURETH FOREVER." forever means, no expiration date. does YAHWEH, not say what he means, and means what he says? the new testament makes YAHWEH out to be a liar. HE is not. there are several question in here. please only educated answers.
