1) Rules are you can only ask questions about your religion
2) Be respectful
3) Append Trivia before your question. That way we know its pat of the game. eg.....Trivia: "What...........?"

4) You should award the 10 points to whoever is the first to answer the question.

This is HOPEFULLY a constructive way we can all learn about other faiths.

Christians, Muslim, Jews, Hindu, Budhist..and Atheist..

I think we scatter our lives by betraying our believes and damage our soul as well and it also affect our moral duties towards other.

Only serious answers please.
Many sub-castes of Hindus and mostly all Jains are vegetarians. I am curious to know about any other religions/communities who practice vegetarianism. They may be anywhere in the world. Pls do write if you have information on any of them or if you are one of them, with details. Thank you.

i personally would whack his asss with a baseball bat then release the hounds!!!
after he gets a few too many bites i will then grab him and put his face in the toilet and make him drink from the toilet.
then kick him out and make the kids throw rocks at him.

please share your thoughts and be creative!!!

When it comes to human affairs and relations, slavery is one of the back bones of the spine of Christianity and its principles:

"All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Timothy 6:1)"

"Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed. (From the RSV Bible, 1 Timothy 6:1)"

"A student is not greater than the teacher. A slave is not greater than the master. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 10:24)"

We clearly see that the Bible is not a book for freeing slaves. Slavery was practiced very badly during the times of Judaism and Christianity. It is part of the Bible's "teaching" to practice and promote slavery!

To know Islam, someone has to know what it actually preaches and has to identify false/wrong explanations and beliefs against Islam prevalent in his/her society.

Did you know that the idea of Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS: that once you've accepted Christ you are accepted no matter what) was not part of the faith until the 16th century? It was derived from Calvinists who also believed in predestination. Predestination is the idea of a predetermined faith. Thus elimination the whole purpose of free-will and repentance.

Don't believe you can do whatever you like simply because you've been "saved by Jesus". Because those who love him, keep his commandments. It is easy to profess with your tongue love of God, while lying in your heart. It is easy to see your neighbor struggling without clothes or food to eat and say, "God bless! Take Care!". Even the devils can do that. Faith without works is dead. So as a man/woman who professes faith in Jesus Christ yet continues to live in sin is not saved by any means.

It seems many who call themselves Christians today are some of the same people who embrace a lifestyle of banging random girls while single, and "commiting" themselves to one partner, only when in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Marriage is not about sex anymore, it seems to have been reduced to a meaningless instituion.
The culture decided that sex is natural and therefore good, so it seems that in the name of this, it has been trivialised. How did that happen, and why do so many would be Christians feel that they know better than the wisdom of the ages much less what has been taught as the will of their God for 2 millinia.
And beside that, what happened to a lifetime commitment to One other person. To share sex with one other person in life, till death do you part? When did this cease to be important?

If you think your open minded answer this question- Can God make a rock so big not even God could lift it? Then look at how you answered to how Jesus might have answered. Jesus would not have criticized spelling or punctuation, Jesus would not have insulted my intelligence or my faith. Jesus would not have thought less of me or that He was wasting his time with me. Jesus preach excetance of those who are different right? He did not judge or jump to conclusion did He? Yet the ones that proclaim the closness of God to lead in their faith do exactly that, use the guise of Gods faith to convey their message, is that Christian? If they are supposed to be like Jesus then why would they behave in such a manner and then justify it so contradictory from the message it originated from?
