Religion & Spirituality - 12 February 2007

Muslims in the west keep saying that theirs is a religion of peace, but in the east, it only breeds violence and hate. Yet no muslim seems to be making an effort to fix this, only to hide and excuse it. The koran is clear about killing infidels, yet some muslims insist it's a misinterpretation. Practice what you preach though and focus your attention on them, and leave us alone!

Many religious people say that they experience a desire to find meaning in their lives, and that desire is only met by connecting with God. Do you feel that you have that same to desire for meaningful connection with a spiritual being, but have never encountered such a being? Or do you feel that you have never had such a desire?

Our country's growth is affected because of the mechaism of different castes and sub-castes. If we abolish this and loudly say that we are Indians, I think we will become one of the most developed countries in the world. Is it really possible???

If someone were to have God in his or her heart/life, wouldn't that spill into areas beyond just going to church? Wouldn't it make sense that your entire life would be changed not just going to church?

There is no right or wrong inherit in the universe in a world without God. Right and wrong are feelings. When you see a child murdered, and feel that is “wrong.” “Wrong” is describing your emotional reaction to seeing that event, and nothing more. There is no law in the universe about what humans should and should not do that is broken. Murder may break your personal ethical code, your societies’ laws, and may be frowned upon by your culture, but that’s it.
In a world without God you are free to create your own moral compass, and no choice is “right” or “wrong.” It is just a choice. I do not understand why atheist are unwilling to come to grips with the fact that without a God, the concept of “right” and “wrong” is superficial. In my opinion to be an existentially honest atheist you must throw out the myth that “right” or “wrong” describe anything more than a human’s mental state at a particular moment. Why will atheist not embrace their freedom to choose? Are you ashamed?

Forget the doctrine of your church, what does communion mean to you personally? Is it really Jesus' body and blood? Is it just a symbolic memorial? Does it matter, as long as you do it? What are your personal experiences and opinions regarding communion.

should the church be held accountable for every person put on trial and murdered for there beliefs and ideas, should they pay compensation to the decedents alive today ,if these people had of lived there would be no church today, that implies that the only reason the church has survived and brainwashed millions of people is because they silence the ones who would give the world true knowledge, does the church owe there existence to the murder of these innocent victims

Using this as a deterant to that idea?



Christ gives us a parable of His coming similar to ten virgins waiting for their bridegroom.

Matthew 25:1
Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Matthew 25:2
Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.

Five dummies out of ten bad odds?

and the false prophet and all the unbelievers and those that took the mark and worshiped the beast when Jesus tells them depart from me I never knew you, you workers of iniquity, away to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels, will we be there watching all the unbelievers get condemed, as Jesus said they will be bound hand and foot, and cast into the lake of fire. If we will be seeing the condemnation of the wicked it sounds very scary. Expecilly if we have to see our loved ones, that will be a terrible moment.

I was forced to read the Bible as a textbook when I was growing up, but I have also read plenty of science books.

Is it that the Bible challenges no thinking person, but that Christians would have their whole worldview demolished by the first three chapters of "The Selfish Gene"?
