Religion & Spirituality - 30 September 2006

I don't want the bible, toran, god, jesus any science theories etc. to be used in answering this question. The only sources which can be used are pieces of information in which the entire contents has been proved true, or can easily be proved true.

No God, no texts which you believe in, no "God said so and he is perfect" etc. only stuff I can read and think "yes, that is easily proved true or has been already and is nothing to do with theory"

does a good job shedding light on the way Christianity really is:

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me."
-Emo Philips

Seems like that's what Christianity boils down to. You can knowingly do something wrong and totally be forgiven for it without any punishment whatsoever. How would people feel if we adopted that into our legal system? That doesn't seem like a good way to make society better.

Why does Christianity think it's okay to steal, murder, rape, and commit every other possible crime?

She eats and wipes her mouth
and says, 'I've done nothing wrong.'

Isn't it paradoxical that Islam is the fastest growing religion and a lot of cristians are converting to muslims no matter what western people say about Islam? I had a friend who hated muslims and started studying Islam in order to prove to his muslim class mates that Islam is not a true religion but a cult, but he ended up converting to muslim. When I asked why he said that the more you know about Islam the more you understand that this is the genuine truth and that the holy Qur'an is the last and purest book where God completed his religion. He also said that the Bible was altered and distorted over the years and in the times of Konstantine it was mingled with pagan religion, that's why we cannot refer to it as the original message from God. On the contrary, the Qur'an was sent about 14 centuries ago and since then not a single dot has been changed, which proves its authenticity. And he added that we should avoid ill-informed judgements and should first learn and then speak.

I hear it on here constantly about how they think are so abused. As proof they site some website that lists someone in some country they couldn't find on a map if you paid them. Yet not one of them can ever name someone they know personally who has been persecuted because of their religious convictions as a Christian. Yet, I bet if you asked someone gay, Muslim, Jewish, Black or God forbid Pagan, they could name several specific incidents of themselves or their kind being persecuted by CHRISTIANS. It would seem that if they were really so persecuted they'd stand up for others who really are persecuted instead of joining in.

PS
Being held accountable for your actions, just because you think your religion says it's okay, isn't persecution. Let me make it simple, if your religion says to murder gays, you do it, then go to prison, that is not persecution.

I want to know why people are so racist to muslims, just cause we act differently, and we do different things. just cause there are some bad people in the muslim religion, doesnt mean all muslims are bad. you people need to know the good side of the muslim community. there isnt one religion where ALL the people are good guys and all of u know that. so why cant we not be racist and get along. No offense but that pope that made that comment about our prophet was very racist. And hes soppose to be a pope. sry if that offended anyone but its true! ALL I WANT IS PEACE

Consider the following:

Killings at high schools
Cancer
Hurricanes

Does God cause these things? Is that what it means? Or, does he merely allow things to happen...like a father allowing his child to cross the street even though he knows that he/she may get hit by a car? Is the parent still ultimately in control of the potential outcome?

Any insights would be welcomed.

Permanent members are the only members who can veto actions by the UN. The UN is not a democratic body in that the permanent members are the only members who can actually authorize the UN to do anything.

How many "Muslim nations" are permanent members of the UN Security Council?

monsters aren't under his bed if he makes up something that doesn't exist to support that it exists evertime you try to use reason? For example:

Me: I am looking under your bed, nothing is there...

Kid:He disappears everytime you look.

Me: Well, let's put the video camera and record.

Kid: He is invisible to video cameras.

Me:Well, let's use this thermal, heat-seeking to device to detect him.

Kid: It can't detect him.

..and in the end, can we HONESTLY prove that the kid's version of the monster isn't there?

Plz don't try to analyze this question but answer it as it stands. Can you suggest any techniques I could use to prove the monster doesn't exist? Plz state them and give your religion..it just a little experiment for myself....not trying to bash anyone, SO PLZ DON'T TRY TO ANALYZE!

According to W.E. Vine’s expository dictionary of New Testament Words (page 1074), the word SORCERY comes from a Greek word, PHARMAKIA - used as a noun, it “signifies a sorcerer,” one who uses drugs, potions, spells, enchantments, as in Rev. 21:8.

Were the witch trials of Lancashire carried out properly and those found guilty dealt with appropriately (Hanged not burnt, Salem also Hanged not burnt although one that refused to enter a plea was crushed). Note: Only the Spanish Inquisition burnt heretics.

When a massive proportion of the worlds population is starving and dying of curable deseases, do catholics feel that its about time to release that wealth back to the people it stole it from?

And to clarify. The catholic church DID get its wealth by theft, demanding money with menaces, and obtaining goods by deception. Unarguable.

How do we get it back?

I dont think ol' nazi boy will give it up without a fight. Whats the answer?

If they had a pile of food, the rest of the world would tell them to give it up for the good of mankind.

Instead they have priceless stolen goods.
