If God has the power to forgive all sins and is all powerful. Why would he sacrifice his son in order to forgive our sins. Being a mother it is very hard for me to understand how a father who can say "I forgive you" and put any symbol that would last an eternity on this earth, would have us kill his child.
Isn't this the same God that stopped a human from making a sacrifice of his son?

If someone is possessed, how could you know for sure? Does anyone have any information. I study exorcisms for a living, but I would like to know what the general public thinks.

Some who say this seem to refer to treating every individual with respect, despite their religion, and not forcing anyone to believe anything or looking down on anyone as being inferior. (And this to me seems like the appropriate attitude to have as a Christian, whenever spreading the Gospel as we are called to do).

Others, however, seem to insinuate that in order to truly be disrespectful of others religious viewpoints, we must open ourselves up to the possible validity of the other religions themselves and/or refrain from “judging” the truthfulness of any such religion. And so this essentially encourages Christians to doubt the truthfulness of what Christ said out of “respect” for others. Yet Christ said, “Blessed are those who have no doubts about who I am.” Is unwavering faith in and of itself seen as disrespectful (or arrogant) just because it refuses to doubt?

People love dogs, cats, goats ,keep them in their bedroom too. but the same Hindu persons though highly religious he feel himself hate his fellow humanbeing, touching them cause sin as per his perception of Hinduism.
What I believe is, a Great(?) religion like Hinduism can not and should not permit untouchabilty, those Godmen, Pujaries, pandits are commiting sin everyday for not doing anything against this.

How are various gods and goddeses perceived by those whose faith embraces beliefs considered pantheistic. Are chosen dieties esteemed as entities unto themselves or simply considered to be as representations regarding particular aspects of the Divine which is immanent in nature and yet transcendant making it beyond comprension and therefore necessary to attach meaning using various achetypes and such making it more accessable to the consciousness of the individual. Kind of a jungian psychology thing, I guess. Most Wiccan types I've met seem to express this view. Not sure about Hindus. I think they believe in Godhead which is ultimately Krishna. All other dieties are seen as personalities of krishna, I think. And so is this actually a polytheistic religion or is it monotheistic afterall in the sense that they believe everything is God

Did you choose it or was it placed upon you by your culture, family tradition, or by informed choice?

How did you choose your bible among the dozens of current versions(some of which are VERY different)? Familiar with the Ethopian Coptic Church? The Orthodox Church?

I saw some Muslim kid say

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error. -Quran 2:256"

Children make mistakes all the time. They are very impressionable and typically rebellious. Some are drawn to Wicca, some are drawn to Islam, etc. As they grow, they learn, and often change their naive utopian assumptions.

When children under the age of 18 commit certain crimes, they are not judged as an adult, because it is believed that they are not educated or mature enough to be held accountable for certain decisions.

If a child who has realized that they made a mistake by selecting Islam as the "true" religion chooses to abandon it favor of ANOTHER religion, should they be KILLED, or given the same leniency as the man from Afghanistan who converted from Islam to Christianity, and faced the DEATH penalty?

note: they let HIM go because they declared he was "insane"

how it is portrayed in these movies? The Excsorcist for example. Little Regan meddles with a ouija board allowing Satan and 'em to invade her body. Psychiatrists are helpless. The priests come and have an epic struggle with both sides essentially beating the crap out of each other.

Please, I know, by experience that some of you have a hard time answering the actual question, but it is fairly straightforward.

For example proclaiming that there is no god, would not be a real answer.
Similarly, expounding on the virtues of prayer, would not answer this particular question.

Here are some incredably obvious irrefutable facts about REALITY that some people choose to ignore.
What kind of all knowing, OMNIBENEVOLENT (all good) being would sit and watch while "gods people" burn to death and starve in concentration camps?
Many christians belive the earth is only 8,000 years old (if you add up the ages of profits like moses). According to that belief, dinosaurs dont exist. go to a musem, honestly
If Adam and Eve were the first 2 humans, then their children wouldve bred, and thier children, and so on. We would be one big inbred family. hopefully we all know that when you do your sister, recessive genes match up. The result is mutated babies.
I mean common people, there are over 5 billion NON-christians in the world, most of which are totally decent people who do good deeds, but according to you they get tortured and ripped apart because they didnt get trapped into a manipulative moneysucking BUSINESS called christianity.
Wake up and start living, please.

Seriously. I've seen this attitude here on YA and other places as well and I really don't get it. Why do some people think that's why we become atheists, so we can be sinful and immoral, to drink, have sex, whatever comes to mind? I certainly didn't become an atheist so I could sleep around or drink or sell drugs or rob banks or convenience stores.

Let's see, I'm waiting on sex until I can afford to take care of a child properly. I don't drink as I can't see how the aftereffects(headache, vomiting, hangover) can be considered fun. As far as drugs and robbery and criminal activity? I have no criminal record whatsoever, not even so much as a speeding or parking ticket.

Does that sound like an atheist who stopped believing in God so she could be this horrible immoral person? Tell me, why do some people think we stopped believing in God so we could do such things without guilt?

The Quran hasn't said that Christians and Jews are Infidles (Neither do we like this word,nor do we use it) The word infidle does not mean non-Muslem,it means athiest(Someone who doesn't believe in God/his prophet(s)/the judment day).In Islam if anybody denies one of these three factors he/she is known as infidle (Even if he/she just believes in God).Of course no one has the right to hurt the others.If you can find things related to fighting with infidles it's got something to do at that time(1400 years ago).And also just when infidles attacked Muslems they could fight them not always.As long as one lives no one has the right to hurt him/her.This is the same as murder.So Islam has never said fight the infidles,it has ordered to talk to them peacefully.Well I don't know why people think Islam has ordered Muslems to kill infidles.It hasn't.As I said itChristianity and Judaism are both great and respectful religions In Islam.And none of the Muslems think they are false (at least in Iran).There have been always debates among different religions and that's good to better understand them, but no one has the right to insult the others' religion.Insulting Jesus Christ/virgin Mary/prophet Mohammad/Islam/Christianity/Judaism/any other prophets/true religions is the same as insulting God.Because God has sent them all and they are all perfect.The only difference between religions/prophets are1.WHEN they have come and 2.HOW complete their teachings are (The second factor depends on the passage of time,as the time passed,people found new laws necessary to have a better life because of new necessities that appeared among humans).And the word Jihad, as you said, has a vast meaning.It means that Muslems MUST (This is God's order) defend themselves/Islam/their homeland/their families when it is needed (For example when someone/a groupe/another country invades them).And I suppose that's what EVERYONE would do in this world.Right? And also when someone serves his/her country/countrymen by any means,he/she is doing Jihad.(For example a teacher,a doctor,an engineer,a policeman,a soldier and so on).When a father or mother is working to meet the needs of his/her family he/she is doing Jihad.When someone is trying to teach people the truth, he/she is doing Jihad.As you see it's not only an Arabic word,but more than that.It's got very deep meanings.
