...Ever shook you up or challenged/changed your perspective of that faith?

I worked at a children's clothing store, and one day a priest came in and asked for my help picking out baby clothes. I figured he was donating them to a charity but... He was giving them to one of his secretaries at the church, a young unwed mother. He figured she was going to have a hard time and wanted to help her out. Have you ever had a similiar experience, where you expected one thing based on your perspectives of the person's faith, and were taken by surprise?

Some Muslims , because they cannot justify terrorism in Islam, what they do is , try to justify it by saying that Christianity has done terrible things. Now another persons mistake is not an excuse for you to do the same, especially when you claim Islam to be best religion.

The christian crusades have never been based on Bible or Jesus teachings. No protestant beheaded a catholic Shouting Praise to Jesus, But MuSLIM do it saying Allah Akbar

Look at the leaders of these two groups
One is Jesus who asked to forgive seven seventy times and forgive and pray for your enemies

Another one Nabi , sex Maniac , who fought and killed and gave orders to kill and torture and married so many women(he did not even think that Allah will take care of the widows and orphans, But then how can he get them to bed)

Islam founded by a terrorist , is terrorims while Christianity found by a peace loving man, but some christians are terrible.

Comment on the above please

Born into a Catholic family, I was raised by the liberal ideals of freedom and individuality... essentially making up your own mind about things and respecting other people for what they think as well.

Recently however, I announced to close friends and family that I was leaving my Catholic religion due to many reasons, but evidently, hypocrasy was the leading cause. I refused to go to church with people who "preached" about doing the right thing and the better good of humanity whom in turn, only left that building to practice just the opposite. Perhaps the beliefs of the religion are not what is wrong necessarily... but rather the men and women who are involved and have corrupted it so.

So I denounced all organized religion and switched to a Buddhist ideology of Karma and the balance of the universe. That does not mean I no longer believe in God, but rather... that I just want to be at peace again and feel whole, not corrupt.

Do you feel this way too sometimes about it all?

People speak of helping the children.
People speak as if the entire family abused the children.

Does no one think of the family members who discover the abuse and have no part in it? Do they not also suffer?

If you don't believe me read this:

And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them (2 Kings 2:23-24).

If you don't know who Israel is, you don't know God. If you don't keep His law ans say that you know him, you are a liar. The Lord only knows those that Keep his law. R U keeping his Law.

In many countries it used to be illegal to deny god. In England before the US Declaration of Independence for example. I think we are moving toward a world with less and less religion. Although the majority of people are still religious, I believe that it is less of a majority than 100 years ago. 200 years from now (assuming no nuclear holocausts) do you think the majority of people will still be religious?

The bibile says that his people are scattered thru out the world. If that is so who are the people in israel now. Israel was slaves and in bondage and are still held captive. But they are not in israel. So where are they? And how can they be Identified. I know I just want to know if anyone else knows. The bibile says that these people are the Lords people and the people that are in israel now are inposters and he will deal with them in due time. After that he will take the true israel home and Israel will reign with the Lord. Betta find out truth.

I mean if you go with acts 20:7 and say they broke bread, well they did that thursday before the cross, they did it on Monday John 19&20. Also I know for a fact (daniel 8:14) that the catholic church changed the day all together. they call it the inquisition-except they were really hunting Sabbath keepers. Go to a search engine look up 457 B.C.

Christian profess faith in God. Therefore, heaven is something you have to believe in. Yet, why is heaven something we cannot get excited about? The promise of heaven is something that should commit us to really work for God. And in the process, like what Jesus did for example, if we should die in a couple of months doing the will of God, then it's great . . . we'll be with Him for eternity. Isn't that awesome ! Ah, well, hmm . . . why can't we get excited about heaven?
