Is it blindly following something told to you, or is it the ability to question your deepest beliefs and yet still hold strong to them/

I'm a Theravada Buddhist.

Just curious because mostly all I see is another religion, which will remain nameless, stirring hate in other religions threads and anywhere they can find a fight..

And that you'll go there if you don't accept Jesus as the one true lord, but a Catholic priest I know says any religion that is a fountain of God's true love is a path to heaven. Truth is that most priests I have talked to don't believe in hell because they, having studied the bible, know more of it's origins and know that certain stories are only stories.

Maybe hell is only a place for those who believe in it yet refuse to live by their own dogma. After all, what may be right for you, may not be right for some, and your own beliefs in what awaits you after death is certainly a very personal thing and does not apply to everyone. Especially considering that nothing has ever, ever been proven to a certainty.

Is it not hypocrical of certain people (pro-lifers and Christians/Catholics) who say that children are born innocent to turn around and say they are born with Original Sin (whatever that is)?

Which is it? Sinful or innocent? I'm confizzled.

I would like some religious feedback on this please and thank you.

PS. This is NOT an attack, but a geniune inquiry.

Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man

.Do you know how to save your own life. No matter what your thoughts of religion is the truth of it all is the Lord said chose life or chose death. Think about it he is not speaking of a physical Life or death. God is perfect and this world is decieved es[epcially you. The bible says that you hate knowledge

Timothy 4:1-3
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils ... commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth

Agnostics assert they do not know (and/or cannot know) whether or not a deity exists. Atheists, on the other hand, assert that no deity exists at all.

What benefit do you find in holding one position over the other?

Private Jackson, the sharp-shooter, quotes from the Hebrew Psalter (I've been told) before he shoots. This is suppose to be like a prayer to bless his ability and it seems to work well. But I recognized Psalm 25:2 in one part, and he wears a Christian cross. Does anyone know what he is actually saying? Is it a prayer or a scripture? From where? Jewish or Christian?

Quran 2:217 YUSUFALI: They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter.

This verse is creating an exception for Muslims who fight murder unbelievers on the forbiden month. Heres the verse regarding the forbidden month:

Quran 9:5 YUSUFALI: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)

So now we see that Muslims can murder unbelievers at anytime, which makes the above verse unnecessary.

Ok, so the justification for breaking the 'forbiden month rule' was the idea that any "tumult or oppression" that a Muslim could possibly perceieve is worse than the murder unbelievers on the forbiden month

"One cometh from the east, O Church my mother,
His sword drips blood; his mouth is curled with hate.
Shall I bar this approach, and every other? She said: "Swing wide the gate."
He dares inside, directed by the devil, Whose words are written on the winds of hell."
She spoke: "Death has not sealed him in his evil; Point out the place I dwell."
"I am your child," I cried, "your robes enfold me.
Give me a spear and I will run him through."
"He also ia a child of mine," she told me, "Whom love must claim anew."
"His hand is on your door, soon you can never
Escape him. Speak! I hear his fearful tread."
"Though I can weep, though I can bleed forever, I cannot die," she said.
He entered in. I saw the sunlight flash on The steel as her bosom it was pressed. I saw her face, all beauty and compassion, Above the sword he buried in her breast.- "Besieger at the Gates" by Jessica Powers

Jesus isn't asking anyone to do what He Himself did not do.
He died a violent, bloody death, so His personal spiritual power
could purge our world of negative spiritual energies.
Likewise, we must shed OUR blood, (personal power), of all the
pain and negativity within. For these things cannot exist where
Christ will take us.
I've heard all the Lies, Excuses, and Justifying, by those who
twist the Word to convince themselves they will not suffer!
I say again, the DAY is fast approaching that many
"believers" will CURSE God!
And many "unbelievers" will be on their knees
before the Lord!

For all religions, do you ever think "What if I'm wrong?" How often do you think this? (( This applies to Atheits as well. ))
