and do you believe the Quran calls for terrorism instead of violence in self defense? if so, why? the Quran does call for jihad in the Quran when muslims are being oppressed or attacked but when does it call you to kill innocents?

also when you associate islam with terrorism do you think of 9/11 or the suicide bombings that are going on in iraq?

thank you

I'm a Christian in the Southern U.S. so there aren't a lot of Jewish people around for me to ask this. (And please don't think I'm trying to belittle your religion...I'm just curious.) I've read all the laws that God handed down to the people of Israel about sin and cleanliness and sacrifice. I know what they used then: sheep, birds, etc. But today, I'm pretty sure the average Jew doesn't have a sheep pen in his backyard. So what is used now for atonement?

From my readings, Reform Judaism had abandoned kashrut in the 70s and it only has a nominal influence on Reform congregations today. Why (during the process of conversion) does my Rabbi ask me to keep kashrut, when (to me) there are soooo many other things to learn: Basic principles and tenents, beliefs, the Sh'ma, keeping Shabbat in my home... it seems silly and a loss of focus to have me concentrating on when I eat meat or dairy products. Any Reform Jews out there with some helpful info? Should I try another Reform Synogouge?

At work, theres this one lady who is very gullible and goes to church every Sunday. Also old people also tend to believe, maybe harking back to older days when people weren't encouraged to think for themselves? Or is it because as we get older we want to believe there is something else?

I seem to remember reading an article that states there is a spirutal part of the brain which makes us believe, or indeed be gullible. Will anyone who is religious believe this? Its like telling someone that something they are passionate about is all because of a section of their brain wants them too? How easy is it to be subjective. Just interested.

On a personal note yes I am an atheist, but I am interested in those of you who are religious.

I'm a Christian and although I am too a sinner like all of us are, I still life my life the best I can because I know that there is a place for me when I'm gone. I know I'll meet Jesus.

What do atheists live for? Are they just along for the ride? And what about life's major crises, how do they get through it thinking theres no God there for them??

As a Christain I know microevolution is a fact for the many different races of man covering all the earth and in many different countries is the best evidence of it. Especially since they all came from Noah and his sons after the flood. They are red, yellow, black and white and all precious in God's sight.

When you had doubts in the Bible, did you have other people pray for you or did you pray for faith on your own?

Did you give your doubts and burdens to God or did you try to gain your faith back on your own reading?

Were you deeply involved in a good, spiritually alive Church?
