Why do all religions indirectly advocate violence and killing with a pseudo notion that its for peace ?

Recently so much of prayers were offered,Pujas were conducted and daily rituals and prayers offered at various places in India for the success of the Indian Team.But what happened at the end.They were shamelessly defeated.It is simply madness but nothing comes out from these kind of rituals.

An example (a Pagan one, but it gets the point across):
http://manannan.net/occult/godtalk.html

All religions (that I know of) have some form of communication with their God(esse)s. Some people receive words, images, physical changes in their environment (a candle flame dying, wind, etc). Is it evidence of the existence of a deity/deities? Is it coincidental? Is it insanity?

What do you think? Seriously.

I read a site dedicated to banning Harry Potter because it talks about witchcraft.

I've met some *some* christians who dislike Harry potter so much they won't let their kids read them and try to get the school to ban the books.

It's just fantasy so why do uptight christians have to ruin it for everyone else.

and I happened to come across this minister. There was nothing else on so I figured...why not? I listened to this guy talk about the death of Christ and something caught my attention. He mentioned the nails that were driven through Christ's hands severed the median nerve. Apparently when this nerve is severed, it causes the most horrible kind of pain one could ever endure.

Question: How would this guy know the median nerve was severed? Obviously he wasn't there and there is no evidence to prove otherwise. It is impossible to prove the median nerve was severed, so this minister lied during his sermon. He bared false witness. He broke a commandment in church. These people are supposed to be giving you the word of God. Is the word of God a lie?

malachi 4 has a 2 fold purpose accrding to what Jesus said. the disciples said, why say the scribes the elijah must 1st come? jesus answered and said, truly elijah shall 1st come and restore all things. but i say elijah has already come and did unto him as it is listed. Then the disciples new He spoke of John the baptist.
John was already dead but Christ spoke that elijah shall 1st come and restore all things. He put it future tense, prophesying that he foreruns the 2nd coming as well as forerunning his 1st coming, which was John the baptist.
while Bro. William Branham was baptizing on the Ohio river in 1933 b4 many witnesses was heard a voice saying as John the baptist foreran my 1st coming so send I you with a message to forerun my 2nd coming. God answered his prayers for healing of the people and performed the sign of the prophet again fulfilling the Lord's words saying the works that I do shall you do also yet greater works shall you do. He fulfilled that scripture.

I love laughing so much I am strung out on it like a drug. It is like heroin to me. I want it pumped into my veins 24/7. If I laugh long enough i get high on it and it seems blissfully uncontrollable.I hope sex is better than laughing or my husband will be in big trouble. HaHa!! Is this healthy you think ? Is it OK with God that I am this way ? I think He made me this way to be truthful.Whats ur opinion ?

Laa Dee Daa...People are so naive to think that by saying God Did It, they are contributing to the answer. They know nothing. Using God to try answering questions shows ignorance because faith begins where knowledge leaves off. Like so many Ostriches with their heads in the sand. How blissful it is for them? I cannot understand. I think they are a few genes short on DNA. Or maybe they have not reached the age of reason yet..like about seven?

i never new that so many people was atheist, i guess now i understand why eternal punishment and eternal doom is mentioned so many times in the Bible.. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

With recent increase in interest concerning UFO's and the recent statement from a former Arizona Governor saying he thinks the Phoenix Lights was an actual UFO, is it possible that God also created life on other planets?

Click on the link below and you will see the Phoenix Lights that so many people have talked about for 10 years. There is still NO explanation as to what those mysterious lights were that appeared over Phoenix Arizona on March 13 1997.

Do you think that maybe God might have created life on other planets besides earth?

Here is the link to the story about the Phoenix Lights:

I am scared they will not find jesus. Please i need your help!

Before the emergence of world religions – Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam – the major form of spiritual activity in virtually every corner of the globe was comprised of various forms of ancestor veneration or ancestor worship.

Concider this. Noah and his family were apparently the only good people in the world. Abraham couldn't find 10 rightous people in Sodom and Gomora. Think about all of the infants involved in the rath. What did they do.
