Why why why would parents send their kids to this? As a real christian (one who lives by actions and not verbal screams about being one) I find this sickening. Christian fundamentalism is no different than muslim fundamentalism...where beliefs become law. STOP IT! Watch this and tell me what you think. Sick.

I have been told by several christians that an explination to why we don't live as long as people of the bible, and why we cannot reproduce with our relatives is because of genetic impurities introduced from the sin committed by adam and eve. Is this accurate?

I'm thinking of a FAQ for each section. The one at "Religion & Spirituality" would include such questions as "Why do you (not) believe?", "What's your purpose in life?", "Why won't you take my Lord?" and so on.

The idea of this FAQ section would be to save us from reading those questions over and over again. If you really need to know what we think of that, see the FAQ section. And the FAQ's could be open indefinitely, so you can add your answer to those questions at any point. Don't you agree?

Once a religion begins to establish forced control over others, or to make its teachings dogma that must be followed or punishment results, then that religion loses sight of true spiritual understanding. That is when it brings in the seeds of corruption. It replaces the need to promote true spiritual understanding with the desire to establish its superiority over others, which can lead to the ways of totalitarianism. Then politics, disunity, intrigue and even war become prevalent.
All true religions accept that God is the ultimate unifying principle, an omnipotent, supremelu spiritual being who has infinite intelligence and capabilities, abd from whom comes pure and unlimited love for one and all. He reciprocates with us to the degree to which we surrender or desire to understand Him. A religion which cannot offer such an understanding, or whose followers have perverted the philosophy, or who cannot apply it in their daily lives, is not a truly progressive or elevating religion. In such a case, it becomes necessary to get away from the church to get closer to God. after all, the church should not make itself more important than the true spiritual knowledge it should be promoting. In other words, when the process of worship outweighs the object of worship, or God, then you have already lost Him. Such a religion will not be spiritually successful and should be corrected or avoided.
What this means, as we head into the future, is that it will be most important for people to be spiritually knowledgeable and to think for themselves and recognize that forced dogma is not what true religion is about. We have already spent many centuries witnessing religions supressing and persecuting others and we should have learned our lesson by now. As spiritual beings, we all have an eternal relationship with the Supreme Spirit. No church or institution or its representatives can interfere with that. We do not have to participate in any religion that forces us to be subservient to a faulty creed or misleading or corrupt leaders. we must only serach out those individuals, pure devotees, who can assist us and gives us the spiritual knowledge by which we can understand and reach the Supreme Being ourselves, with or without any institution or organized religion. To become atheistic because of the failure of religions to present us God as He is is the sum total of all stupidity. God's doing very well , thank you. Whether you ackowledge, recognize, know this or not.

Some of the same people that are racist are the same ones that claim they believe in the bible.

The bible says that we all originated from Adam and Eve.

Why is there so much racism between such "christians"?

I'll admit, I think religious beliefs are incredibly stupid and pointless, but I understand why people choose to believe in this stuff (my theory is fear of death/the unknown, but that's a different question). Some christians seem incapable of comprehending the atheist position.

I mean, I dont believe that Budda is THE SAVIOR but I'm not going to slander a Buddist's character over it. What gives?

Hinduism is the only major faith outside Christianity that believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ. Muslims believe he was a prophet, Jews believe he was a misquoted Rabbi, Buddhist believe he was just a man who attained enlightenment, secular historians believe he was merely a mythical figure, but most Christians and Hindus believe he was divine. Christians believe in one god manifested in three persons, Hindus believe in one god manifested in thousands of forms as compared to the Muslims and Jews who believe in one god only with no equals or other forms and Buddhist who believe in no god at all.

Of all the major world religions, Hinduism is the closest to Christianity while Islam is the closest to Judaism.

I don't get why so many people blame them of being a cult. They do not worship another human being. The believe the BIble is the complete authority for the church. They do not believe in righteousness by works. They do not believe God will only save them. I don't get it. They get such a bad rap. It's sad.

For more information, please refer to the BIble Studies at www.iiw.org.
