Religion & Spirituality - 13 December 2006

I mean think abaut it.the catholic church killed everyone who criticised them,and religious wars were also common,jews were killed as well because the christians said that they killed Jesus when it was the romans.a lot of people were burned because of the reformation,why cant we all get along?and have a common religion where everyone would be safe and happy?

I go to church on Saturday because the bible says "God blessed the Sabbath day and hollowed" and one of the Ten Commandments says "Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy, for on the sixth day God made the Heavens and Earth the sea and all within it and on the Seventh day though shall not work ." so why do people go to church on Sunday?

Why is it that muslims as soon as you criticise their religion say you are going to hell! Was this not the ploy the Christian church used in the Middle ages to keep the populace in line?

Wake up muslims we are in the 21 st century......takes more than hellfire and damnation to worry us in the West.....try reasoned argument.

Somali Islamist forces and pro-government troops dug in on Wednesday on either side of a frontline in the divided Horn of Africa nation which has this week slid closer to all-out war.

Regional power Ethiopia, however, scoffed at an Islamist vow to attack Somali government lines unless Addis Ababa withdraws within a week troops backing the interim administration.

The Islamists on Tuesday gave Addis Ababa, which is backing the government, seven days to withdraw what it says are more than 30,000 Ethiopian troops in Somalia -- or face war.

Somali prime minister Gedi told Reuters the Islamist forces, backed by 4,000 foreign fighters spread around the south, were moving into position for a possible imminent attack on Baidoa.

"I don't think that they are ready for dialogue, for peace and stability to prevail in Somalia. In that case, war may become inevitable," he told Reuters in Nairobi, adding that government forces were ready for battle.

Still believe Islam is a religion of Peace?

Could it be that Mohammed had little immagination when it came to thinking up more new characters for his book?

Because I despise the Islamic religion I am deemed racist. surely racism implies the discrimination of a person because of their skin colour or country of origin. I am criticising a religion!!

peoples skin colour does not worry me in the slightest!

we are witnessing in western Europe is the end of Christendom -- the cultural, if not constitutional, alliance between church and state. Is this particular demise something that should be mourned?

Since God has been removed from school things have gone down hill. kids learn about theories like evolution or the big bang, but are forbidden to learn about God.Christianity is a part of american history. but because nonbeilievers didnt like thier kids hearing about God, they took it out. if it was ok to remove God then they should have to remove thier false theories on how the earth came to be. it was our right to have God taught in school,and unbelievers felt it was thier right to remove it.if they will not put God Back in School, then it is our right to insist that thier false theories be removed also. it is wrong when the only schools we can send our kids to is private schools that are based on Christianity. most of us cannot afford the costs. it wouldnt be so bad, but kids are not alowwed to carry thier bibles in thier back packs to read in thier personal time and they are not allowed to talk to thier believing friends about God either. so in essense , you have taken our freedom.

I'm not spreading hatred, I am a religious person but my faith is personal to me and I don't push it on to other people... that is just bad manners in my opinon. Why can't people keep themselves to themselves? Does anyone else think that we as humans are pre-programmed to hate? The message in any religious book or in any faith is a GOOD message, yet we all seem to feel obliged to spat and bite at each other, and it even goes on within different sects of the same religions!!! I just wonder why we do it? Maybe we all need wind our necks in and re-eveluate what what it means to follow the faith of our choice - and become decent human beings, cos what I am seeing and reding at them moment sux - shame on all of us.

Very serious question here... I am a graduate student studying religion... Don't waste your time or mine with stupid answers... I am not trying to be offensive, so please do not misunderstand my question, just kindly explain to me why my logic does not work if you do not agree with my conclusion. Thank you in advance.

I have one question for Muslims. The Quran refers to 2 women, Eve and Mary. Mary is referenced as the Mother of God. If this is the case, then shouldn't Muslims refer to Jesus Christ as God, not simply a prophet? Furthermore, if this is an accurate understanding, then what role does Muhammed play if Christ already stated that He is the "Way, the truth, and the light. No man comes to the Father but through him?"

Like I said, I am looking for honest answers, not confrontation.

If you believe in non-existance after death, you believe in a contridiction.

If our earthly live takes place in the universe how can we not exist after we die? By definition the Universe is the totality of all things in existance. It has no shape, no center, no beginning nor end. It is describe in scientific terms as infinte and formless (sounds like something else I know).

For one to die and then go to a place of non-existance there would have to be "something" to experience non-existance, and report back to existance to say non-existance exist. For "something" to be in a place of "nothingness" contridicts itself, because that "something" denotes existance in a place of nothing.

There is only Allness. Science has confirmed that there isn't a such thing as a "nothingness." Because the Universe, being infinte, includes all things within it, There isn't one thing that exists then not exist. Infinity includes any or all total possibiities. "Nothing" is impossible
