Religion & Spirituality - 20 August 2006

I'm not a religious person but am very spiritual, I was wondering why most religions have sections about not killing people, yet religion has been the biggest cause of death in the history of man...whats with all the bs and craziness?

Do you believe there is extra terestrial life out there? If so, do you also think they were taught to believe in the the same God you and I know? Also, try to keep in mind just how INFINENT space really is!!

I see lots of questions to the tune of "Why are non-believers in this forum?" I'm a little confused as to what Christians mean when they call someone a non-believer.

Do you simply mean they arn't Christians? So that, for example, a Jew or a Wiccan or a Buddhist is a non-believer to you? If that is so, why do you think that Christianity is the only religion that should be in this section?

Or is a non-believer someone who dosn't believe in any god, like an Athiest or an Agnostic (like me)? Do you think that, just because someone dosn't believe in something, they can't be intrested in it? We don't believe in the greek gods anymore, but many people study their mythology. I agree that the people who come here just to harrass others are annoying and should be ignored, but there are many Athiests and Agnostics who just want a little friendly debate, might like to learn something, and have some genuine questions. I know that's why I'm here.

What do you think? "Non-believers" can answer too.

It just seems odd that there is always VERY vocal opposition to and hatred of Jews and Christians but no where nears the comments and criticizism or hatred of Muslims. Why? Do people feel that criticizing a Jew Or Christian won't get a violent reaction but criticizing a Muslim might get you blown up or your head sawed off or your family raped and slain? I certainly don't believe that the majority of Muslims are radical terrorists but it seems that people don't get mad...and say so or write it in Yahoo!Answers.. at Muslims or the Islam religion in general the way they do at Chistians and Jews in general.

and she told me that if she had sex before she was married and her father found out, he'd take her "back home" and kill her. Why? I agree that it's a sin (to have premarital sex) but what's with the death? Isn't that a sin in islam, too?

I really love Jesus. He is my Lord and Saviour and there is none like him. However, I think my love for him has gone a bit too far. I have recently begun defiling myself to the bible. Obviously, I know this is a sin but it also means the pages stick together and I cannot read his word. Will christian readers please pray for me?

I'm amazed at the misinformation regarding the martyrdom of the early Christians. They were offered the opportunity to worship Caesar, and if they refused, they were tossed to the lions. They knew this would be the consequence if they refused. They -chose- the lions, rather than worship a false god.

Is there a point in asking any Christian today whether they'd do the same? Has being Christian become so safe that any self-delusional fool can be one?

Some people may believe we are nothing more than this physical or biologocal body.Well I want them and others to read this completely and share their views.
Normal people(wether religious or not,believer in god or not) become happy after they do a good act, even if their action can't be justified by materialistic laws , for example sacrifising one's self for another person, or to give your kidney to someone else for free.
And they will get sad in their hearts when they do something evil , even if they make a good money(that their actions are justifyable by materialistic laws) ofcourse I am talking about 'normal' people whose heart hasn't changed dramatically.
So if we read between the lines it proves there is something more than this physical world it proves reward and consequence for our actions. >>
this is a feeling so deep in our heart(deeper than one can say because they were taught it in the school when they were child), it is deep there.
Just like we love and want the beauty , we love good acts( even if they dont make sense with materialistic laws).
you know, when something is in our heart there is a response outside, if there is the hunger inside ,there is food outside. if there is the need of love inside ,there is marriage and love outside.For every natural need or tendency or feeling that we have inside our hearts ,there is a response a satisfaction outside. the response to this feeling is that there is more than
this world, there is reward and consequenses.
Things make sense.
If we admire sombody when he get killed, trying to rescue somebody else which doesnt make sense by the physical laws,it means our hearts knows that there is more than this physical world.even if some people has become unbelievers and consciously deny it while their hearts unconsciously act in according to spritual laws.
and yes when god created us he put this in our heart.
Note that I dont say non-belivers dont do good acts,some of them do,beacause the truth is in their hearts but they consciously deny it.and sometimes they act in according to spritual laws without paying attention to it.
peace to you all
a muslim friend.

Why are you even on a forum about religion?

Trolling? Hoping to learn something? Or do you just like to try to antagonize the people who aren't going to hell?

I'm an Agnostic, and I always thought that a "Christian" was anyone who believed that Jesus was the son of God and that, by accepting him, he forgave you for his sins. There are many differant denominations of Christians, but they all agree on that one central idea, correct?

It has been my understanding that Catholics not only believe this as well, but that the Catholic church was the church from which all the other Prodistant denominations branched off from when Martin Luther nailed his grevances to the church door. Is this correct?

So why do I see questions and answers that seem to classify Catholics as "non-Christians?" I know they arn't Prodistants, but they believe in the saving grace of Jesus, so that makes them Christians, right? Is there some other core belief that makes them non-Christians that I am missing here, or is it just the ignorance of others?
