See, I was brought up christian and learned that Jesus loves and forgives, and we're supposed to be Christ-like. Why is there so much hate and violence towards gays from christians when the bible teaches love and compassion and forgiveness??

Then:
Reformation - Christians fighting Christians
Crusades - Christians figting Muslims
Culture - Caliphate retained classical Greek learning, advances in math and science, art, music, and technology. Europe lived in sh*t, Church kept the masses ignorant.

Now:
Sectarian Violence - Muslims fighting Muslims
War on Terror - Non-Muslims fighting Muslims
Knowledge - Western countries have led the world in math, science, art, music, and technology. Middle Eastern countries have been trying to recuperate from the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

Europe and Christianity made it through their "Middle Ages." Will the Middle East and Islam make it through theirs?

We are fade up seeing the cruelites between the followers of different religion and casts. I think, modern world should have to see it and should be taken initiatives to establish the peace and harmony among the religions. I think, these sorts of compound will teach the followers of different religion, how to love and respect each other.

First the question Do you think Sponge Bob Square Pants is a healthy show for kids to be watching? Could it be demon possessed or controlled? Could it be sending a wrong (Evil) message to Our children? I watched a show yesterday. They have all these sea creatures living in the ocean. Now here's the the thing they have a tree down there with a air dome over it. A squirrel lives in the tree. Now when the squirrel goes outside to visit Sponge Bob he has to wear a helmet with air in it to breath. But when Sponge Bob and the sea creatures go to visit the squirrel they have to wear helmets with water inside them.
Now I ask you is that Satanic or what? Should we keep children from watching this show? the whole thing just freaked me out? Honest answers please all religions and my freak friends.

I have read so much increasing controversy about Mohamed on so many websites, books, and now even Moslems who are leaving the faith who are quoting him and describing his questionable life and deeds, where as I can find no controversy or even a question of Jesus Christ’s purity. Now I am strictly talking of their life, deeds, and words and not necessarily the religion or the people that followed.

Question to Moslems: Do you not get weary of having the constant and ever increasing burden of defending the founder of your religion and trying to explain away his dubious actions, words and deeds?

Question to Christians: Are you eternally grateful that you don't have the burden mentioned above, that Moslems are increasingly having to bear as the truth about their prophet is revealed?

Question to both: Would you not want to have your faith and belief system based on a figure who was pure therefore who was ordained by a pure and perfect God?

325 CE: The period of time from 325 to about 590 CE is often referred to as the "post-Nicene" era. This interval takes its name from the church Council of Nicea which was held in 325 CE.
There was no single individual who spoke for the entire church; no one person had the authority to decide matters of belief and practice. Such matters could only be determined by councils at which all available bishops would debate and attempt to resolve their differences. The first such meeting was the Council of Nicea in Asia Minor (now Turkey). 318 bishops out of the approximately 1,800 Christian bishops then in existence attended. Most came from the eastern half of the Empire. 5 Bishops attempted to resolve a major uncertainty facing the early church: the relationship between Jesus and God. The church recognized the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) which described God in strictly monotheistic terms. But there were references in the Gospels (particularly John) which implied that Jesus was divine. Two conflicting theories about the deity of Jesus were argued at the time: Arius (250 - 336 CE) proposed that Jesus and God were very separate and different entities: Jesus was closer to God than any other human being, but he was born a man, had no prior existence, and was not a god. On the other hand, God has been in existence forever. Arius felt that any attempt to recognize the deity of Christ would blur the lines between Christianity and the Pagan religions. If Christianity recognized two separate gods, the Father and Jesus, it would become a polytheistic religion.
Athanasius (296 - 373 CE) argued that Jesus must be divine, because otherwise, he could not be the Savior. The atonement would not have been possible.

People of religion that are questioned with undoubted evidence of their fallacy keep trying to disprove fact at all costs just to make them feel more secure?

I almost sense that when complete evidence on the contrary towards religion is given, religious people will do whatever it takes to disprove fact even though its soooo logical perfect just to make them feel that they havent speant their whole lives believing a lie?

I mean many of these people have grown around this and their entire lively structure is based on religion, and they dont wont to admit that what they have put soooo much time into is, infact, not true. I meen, what would you do if you believed that the world was flat, and your whole life revolved around proving this theory and one day some one proves its indeed not flat but a sphere? Im sure you would come up with all the explanations trying to justify your lifes work making the world flat.

Hi, I was recently visiting a forum looking for informacion on sleep paralysis, and some people started mentioning that with sleep paralysis, it's easier to astral project.

I have never heard of astral projection before, nor do I know if it's even real. I'm not interested in trying it, but I would like to know if it's a sin?

Thank you.

The Bible is useful for inspiration, instruction etc.but there comes a point where sticking to the letter of what is written takes precedence over the leadings of the spirit so is sinful.
