let me tell you a story. when i was in thailand i saw some men dragging an ox to kill it for meat. the butcher had a big knife in his hand and i saw the ox with tears full in its eyes. do you think animals too can understand fear and pain of death?
do you think eating meat is a form of canibalism?

i have found that the number of upset responses against Muslims gone wild was 7 out of 12, while the number of upset responses against Christians gone wild was 15 out of 22. on top of that, several of the upset responses in muslims G.W. were those of christians while only one in Christians G.W. was that of a muslim (as far as i know, i know that there are many uncontrollable factors), but i am convinced that the christians on yahoo are just as sensitive if not more sensitive than the muslims here on yahoo!

God may have decreed before the beginning of time who will and won't be saved, but I don't have access to the Book of Life, and I'm so thankful anyway I wanna tell everyone about what Jesus has done for me. If I'm a robot, I sure are a happy one!

As a Catholic I get frustrated with other Christians who try to convince me that the Bible - as opposed to Sacrements, prayer and helping others - is the only right way to know God and be a good Christian. The Sacrements and many things Catholics do today are much older than when sacred writings were put together in an official list at the Council of Nicea.

The printing press wasn't invented until the sixteenth century. With it being so impractical for everyone before the printing press to have their own Bible, it seems like the Catholic ways of Sacrements, prayer, and helping others would have been the only way for people to know God. Did God intend everyone before the invention of the printing press to be damned?

I dont if you all saw my other post, but my question reworded is, am I stupid for excepting both science and God. Can I actually view God as the greatest scientist of all or am I just taking the slow route to atheism?

does, so why are you so hateful and scared when you're around Muslims? I'm not saying all Christians act this way, but a lot of them do. Why are you so paranoid? And please don't say because of 9/11. That one's getting old! None of the kind of Muslims I know are responsible for the attack, so get off it already! That was done by fundamentalists, who are gravely misguided, and only make up about 1% of "Muslims." Enough with the paranoia, already. If you really want to prove you're good Christians, then practice what you preach, and stop calling us names. That is not Christian behavior. Peace.

What Benedict has said about Muslims is positively benign compared to what he has said about homosexuals.

Since homosexuals don't kill nuns, burn churches and just blow up people at random, I'm guessing they won't be getting an apology anytime soon.

I beg to differ....Here's an interesting stat: Not all Muslims are terrorists; however so far, ALL terrorists have been Muslims. Their own Koran instructs them to hunt down and kill any infidels (or non-conformists). I am a born-again christian who knows the truth of the REAL canon of scripture. Faith and trust in Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to heaven...not Muhammed (this just in....he's dead)

As a side note...I'd like to point out that as a Christian, my job is to proclaim the good news of salvation through Christ to as many as I can. If someone doesn't accept the message, I'm not going to behead them.....a radical Muslim will say, "convert...or die". You call that a religion of peace? I think not.

Im 20 years old and im attending college meaning for most of the day im around other "acedemics and scholars" ive just really begun to recognize that the "intelligent" people in this world don't believe in God, I consider myself to be intelligent in the way of science and such but im feeling like religion is begining to die. As we become more advanced science is begining to push out religion and religion isnt fighting back. I cant find a fellow religious follower who has anything intelligent to say in the face of science. Usually they just give some bible quote. Im starting to believe that the only people that are still in my religious boat are older generations who had religion driven into there minds and those who lack or refuse to accept the knowledge provided by science. I feel like the only scholar who actually thinks God exists. Is it time for me to just accept what seems to be so obvious to all the "smart people" out there.

I'm having a problem and people keep telling me to pray.
I'm not sure what kind of prayer to use, but I have it narrowed down to the list below, please tell me which one works the best.

1. kneel and pray to god (the one in the bible).
2. Light a candle for the hindu god Krishna
3. Get a potion from a voodoo witch-doctor.
4. Carve my prayer in a stone and push a virgin into a volcano.

Please tell me which prayer has the best chance of working. Also do you have any evidence that would prove which one works more often? The reason I ask is because throughout history, there have been millions of people who have sworn by all of theses methods.

Thank you.

If I say any thing, against Islam, Jews, Hindus, or who ever it has called politically incorrect and I am yelled at?

now I believe in the christen god (I am not a christen though I have my own thoughts and prstice magic[say what you want about me practicing magic because I don’t really care]) and I have respect for other peoples gods but I just don’t under stand why its ok to diss(as many my age say, I don’t really know what that means ether) Christianity and the occult but as soon as you say some thing against another mainstream religion people start crying racism, or some other BS.

Any idea why this is?

Sorry if I offend any christens with the topic sentence

What is it with you people that have to make everything about god??????!!!!!!!???????? How can you honestly sit there and answer a question from someone upset about something like a relationship problem and say that it could be from disobeying god?? Are you serious?!?!?!?!?! I think that that could be karma, but god?? No. How can some people sit there and tell someone that if they do anything wrong, they'll be punished for it but then preach about how he/she's all-forgiving and such? It seems to me a lot of those religious zealots out there have a lot of growing up to do...and demons to work out in their minds...not to mention practicing what they preach and maybe stop being so judgemental of others (you know...the teachings of just about every single man made religion). Do you honestly think these people are right to act like this?????
