Religion & Spirituality - 18 September 2006

I know you people are completely delusional and wouldn't deny God's existence if undeniable proof he's not real was shoved up your bible-bashing ***. BUT, I'd just like you to prove to me that he's real - any kind of proof be it big or small - if you can.

I've argued this matter to alot of Christians and Religious People and it always ends with one word... "Faith." I urge you people during this debate to not rely on such a vague and meaningless word and we'll see what you come up with then.

I was thinking about what the pope said. He outraged the muslim world by stating

'Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'

Without going into the reaction from the muslim world, isn't it a bit ironic that the quotation taken from Byzantine emperor Manuel was quoted as 14th Century (the dark ages?) where insurmountable attrocities & barbarism were commited under the flag of christianity, eg

+ Pagan torture and mass genocide 6th Cent
+ Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded.
+ Spanish inquisition (Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada alone allegedly responsible for 10,220 burnings.)
+ from the beginning of Christianity to 1484 probably more than several thousand 'witches' killed
List goes on (http://www.truthbeknown.com/victims.htm)

So isn't that quote a little rich?

I really don't want to join a group I just need to ask some questions. In light of recent events I'm finding it hard to like or trust anyone in the Arab community and it is depressing. I feel I am not a racist or anything like that and maybe I am just ignorant of the culture.

If a new human life should happen to get in our way of career and income goals,school schedules or marriage plans, The Solution of first choice is ruthless and simple: Kill it. Does that seem right to you?

People say they have the "truth" but can we humans with limitations say we really have the truth? If not, then who has the truth? who knows what is or is not true? Is there such thing as error? Can we say that everything is right? or something is wrong? How can we be sure?

OK. Let's say that God came down from heaven, and it was definately God, no questions asked. If he said: "You have 3 days to stop using the internet and repent, and all who don't listen are going to hell!" What would you do?

This fiasco over the Pope's 9/12 speech (admittedly one of his most boring and obtuse) is indicative that there is more emotion than reason in the reaction. It was the same thing after the 9/11/01 attacks. Tom Friedman (of the NY Post) went to the Phillipines and Indonesia to ask Muslims what they thought of the attacks. A number of them denied that they even happened in the first place - some said that they happened, but the Jews were behind it. When Friedman asked where they heard that, the response was that something on the internet told them that no Jews showed up to work on 9/11/01.

So there's ignorance, and ignorance breeds violence. How do we end the ignorance?

BTW, if you believe there were no Jews killed in the 9/11/01 attacks, I lost a fraternity brother - Darren - who was Jewish. He was killed in the Pentagon.

Is really mind boggling. He would come down as a Son of God as a human being? but Jesus prays on the cross to God???? I thought he was one of the same? why would he talk to himself and kill himself? Isnt that contradicting the ten commandments? "THY SHALL NOT KILL" If he died to save your sins then he is not setting a good example.

The leader of Christianity has mocked and defiled our faith, and now the infidels must pay! They say they are sorry, but we will not stop until all the world is under Allah! Allahu akbar! All who profess the faith of the Prophet must join the battle, or they will be swept under also!

"Believe whatever you want... you just may end up in Hell, with no chance of ever escaping the sulfur and fire!"

Does this truly ilicit a response of "beauty" from anyone?

I honestly want to know how you feel about this statement, especially Christians since a Christian made it and another Christian said it was beautiful.
