If you are a Christian , would you consider it to be a sin to read a book of another religion (ex -The Satanic Bible) as a result of curiosity. I mean, it's not like you are worshipping the devil or disobeying god, you just want to know about Satanists and what is thier philosophy. I'm just asking this because a lot of Christians seem to be giving false answers about Modern Satanism ,which obviosly means they don't know one thing about it. And if you do know, but just gave a false answer, wouln't that be a sin? Thou shall not lie?

I have never read any information on Pagan customs after death. If anyone has any info or links, I would appreciate it.

God doesn't exist...he is a pawn for people to play when they believe their life is in order.

What if one day the two combined and we were forced to observe a certain religion? Would you comply? For the sake of argument, let's say this will happen in 5 years, what will you do?

As A Christian who has read the Torah, I am Wondering alot of things about Judiasm lately.....I should really visit a synagogue, but I'd probably look like an idiot.

Do they have a holy place in a synagogue, with an ark, lampstand, the 2 alters and a table?? Are there scrolls in every synagogue?

Obviously due to animal rights there are no more burnt offerings in Western Judiasm. Is there anywhere? Do you do incense offerings to the L-rd? Offerings are a big part of the law from what I read....when did this stop? Do you offer money, or anything else instead? I would love to know about some of these things.

Bless you all, O Isreal!

Sincerely, David

we should respect what they belive in because there is no law or rule saying that we cant have religious symbols around so why should they be banned.

If the organization did not actually prophesy the end in 1925 and 1975, then how come so many Witnesses left the faith immediately afterwards? ("They lost roughly three-quarters of the movement between 1925 and 1928, then suffered huge losses after 1975, when the end didn't come as they had implied over and over again," said Jim Penton, an ex-Witness who writes entries on Jehovah's Witnesses for the Encyclopedia Americana.)

If the Watchtower organization rejects others calling them "inspired" yet the Watchtower organization does call themselves "God's Spirit-directed Prophet" what is the difference? Is there such a thing as an "uninspired prophet"? See Organization claims inspiration

Has the Society ever taught anything scripturally incorrect? See Prophecy Blunders of the Organization
Might the Society be teaching anything scripturally incorrect now?

Christians have no right to do this. They think they have all of the answers and people from other cultures are stupid. Look how the Native Americans got screwed out of their land and forced to convert to Christianity. Christians don't have respect for other people's cultures and beliefs. I wish to see in the future that Christian invaders will be kicked out of Buddhist lands.

Surely LOVE is the issue, not sex. Sex without love is just stimulating nerve endings, scratching an itch. It's the carrot and stick nature provided all animals to make us have babies.

Love and sex, well that's different. That's beauty and joy and enriching and empowering, no matter who it's between (providing they are consenting adults of course) - irrespective of gender, religion, etc.

So where do religions get off telling us who we can and can't love?

What do you think of the state of the church in America? Healthy, unhealthy, Biblical, unbiblical? I know that's a very broad question but I think a valid one.

Do you truly believe that Muslims worship a different God than you?

*the God of Islam created the universe and heaven and hell.... did your God not created the universe, heaven and hell?

[2:21] O people, worship only your Lord - the One who created you and those before you - that you may be saved.
[2:22] The One who made the earth habitable for you, and the sky a structure. He sends down from the sky water, to produce all kinds of fruits for your sustenance. You shall not set up idols to rival GOD, now that you know.

*the God of Islam created adam(as) and eve(as) as the first people on earth...as well as all the Prophets(as).... did the God of the Judeo-Christian tradition not create adam(as) and eve(as) and the Prophets(as)?

[3:59] The example of Jesus, as far as GOD is concerned, is the same as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, "Be," and he was.

In the name of love, to the death of innocents, in the name of humanity, trying to love the loved who you can't because of not obeying rules that was set for new humans. And why I can't come back to my own God who now loves me.
