Religion & Spirituality - 23 September 2006

The Jesus I know was tolerant. The Jesus I know was usually around prostitutes, tax collectors, and other people of that nature, the lowest of the low. The Jesus I know had an extreme dislike of the Pharisees, those Jews who thought they were better then everyone else and showed off their religion. The Jesus I know said "Love thy neighbor as yourself." The Jesus I know would be more comfortable around irreligious people then conservative Christians. Why do people think, then, that Jesus was not tolerant? Jesus was the most tolerant person in history.

Why do some Christians think it's ok to celebrate Halloween and others don't? Didn't it start as a Christian Holiday by trying to ward off evil spirits?

I dream about him often. He went to high school with me.
I never talked to him, or had no feelings toward him.

So, why is he always in my dreams?
He is married, too.

Do they rubberstamp with Jesus?
Someone asks a question about life matters, the Chrstiains respond with old Jesus cliche like this?

"Well, Jesus is our saviour and life, believe in Him and you shall have life,"

Just stamp it, cut and paste a tired old reason to love Jesus?

Is this what Christians do when they don't have any answers to questions people have?

using the standard of religion, our book says so, shouldn't that be good enough?

if proof and evidence mattered, you wouldn't believe in god.


I mean this respectfully I know there will be people who will say Im a god hater, i wish they could see my heart, but i know they are brainwashed and it doesnt matter cause im not "washed with jesus's blood" and therefor im not worthy of their "love" cause their god wont love me he'll throw me away

too bad, i don't believe in their god, cause of, you know, proof and evidence and things like that,

o well
round and round we go

If you think that do you have any scientific evidence, I'm curious to hear your point of view?

Also, before you attack the person asking this question, please read what I said, I am interested in reading your real and intelligent responses.

I know it sounds basic, but I don't understand why people hate each other so much. As a Christian, I try to be the best Christian I can. When I see discrimination against other peoples, like Muslims or Jews, it sickens me. In my high school, I knew more good Muslims and Jews then Christians. I see the famous conservative Christians and how many, in some way, support intolerance. What doesn't make sense is that when a person forces their religion onto someone else, they more then likely won't listen, yet people continue to still do it anyway.

It sounds simple, yet I know people who still say that all Muslims are terrorists. If all Muslims are terrorists, then all Christians are Amish, all agnostics and athiests are amoral murderers and rapists, and all Jews are cheap bankers. What I am asking is, when will America be able to finally be able to get along and shed this veil of intolerance and hatred from us?

Quantum mechanics puts definite limits on the amount of knowledge a being in the universe can know and in fact says some things are a pure funciton of probability and thus can neverbe known with certainty. This of course destroys the argument of an omnipotent G-d, however christians only sem to argue about evolution and not quantum mechanics, Why?
