Religion & Spirituality - 6 December 2006

I dont mean to be rude but one of my biggest problems with religion is that members of certain religions are able to commit horrible acts considered as sin like murder, violence etc and yet they can go to church the next day, ask god for forgiveness and then go out and tell a non-believer who has never committed any atrocious acts comparable to thier own that they are going to hell for thier sins. This concept has been the main reason why I do not ascribe to any organized religion, it strikes me as immoral to commit sins knowing you will be forgiven for it. This facet of religion goes against everything that I believe in, I dont think it is right to hide behind forgiveness and then justify it by saying we are imperfect thats why god forgives us. Isnt it better to develop your morality so that in the future you can avoid doing what is wrong because you know it is wrong not because you fear some deity will deny you entrance to an afterlife if you dont ask forgiveness. What do you think?

Is it me or is every1 just Islamophobic? Okay I get it we're not exactly the most loved ppl in the world right now for obvious reasons. Shall i still bother to to spread the truth and not argue back even though some ppl on this page havedecided 2 go so low as to mention that they will throw the Qu'ran down the toilet. I think we should just answer those who really are asking a decent question and ignore those who are just trying to get on our nerves. What do u think??

Why do so many pick and choose what they want to accept and reject? For if the Bible tells us you are to be holy for I am holy, they is it not reasonable to be holy? And if that is impossible why did Jesus tell persons He exorcised not to sin no more?

Is it that evolutionary theory proves that blacks are least evolved and therefore closest to the apes?

Note : I do NOT accept the evolutionary 'theory".

Lost civilisation from 7,500 BC discovered off Indian coast

Archaeologists have found a civilisation dating back to 7,500 BC off India's western coast.

The find is 5,000 years older than any previously unearthed civilisation in the subcontinent.

Researchers uncovered pottery, beads, sculptures, a fossilised jaw bone and human teeth at the Gulf of Cambay site.(DNA tests?)

Previously, the oldest known civilisations were the Harrapan and Indus Valley communities - which date from around 2,500BC.

Murli Manohar Joshi, minister for human resources and ocean development, told The Times of India: "The findings buried 40 metres below the sea reveal some sort of human civilisation, a courtyard, staircase, a bathroom or a temple."

Researchers used carbon-dating techniques. The find was made by the Indian ocean development and archaeology institutes.

The very basic belief in Christianity is that humans are born sinful and therefore by default assigned to Hell because the first man and woman (Adam & Eve) broke the single rule god gave them thus introducing sin into the world.

In modern times most resonable people acknowledge the story of Adam and Eve as what it really is, a myth. Scientifically we know it's not true that people were created as they exist today 6,000 years ago. We instead evolved from other species millions of years ago.

Many Christians, despite the evidence for the reality of our situation, still cling to this myth as a truth and will fight tooth and nail anyone who disagrees with them on this point. Since this story tells us that we are evil dispicable creatures by default because of the actions of our first anscestors, and we can show quite clearly that this story is false, wouldn't that be good news? It means we aren't automatically evil. That's a good thing, why fight it?

feel like they have gained any real insight into a religion, other than your own, through asking or answering questions?If so, was it positive? Did it make you rethink a previous judgement or preconceived notion you had?
