Religion & Spirituality - 11 April 2007

There's a high rate of religious crimes or religious people committing crimes also there's wars over religion every where. Muslims, Christians, Islamic and so forth.

I am not saying that EVERY religious person is a threat but I am just pointing out that there's a lot of holy wars and death going around.

Why can't we all forgive and be at peace with each other rather than fight and kill each other?

According to your bible, GOD has a plan for EVERYONE'S life. He has counted the days and knows when you will be born and when you will die. In other words, he plans abortions ahead of time. He plans cancer ahead of time. He plans murder ahead of time. He plans fatal accidents ahead of time. He even advocates and demands the killing teenagers that are disobediant. And guess what, He has a plan to kill YOU TOO! So why are you so upset about abortion. Shouldn't you look at it as another part of God's plan?

I will bet money that our Muslim neighbors in this forum oppose terrorism and consider Osama Bin Laden a heretic.

If the religious believe that every soul has a purpose to fulfill and god knows the purpose/gives the purpose, and everything that is meant to be will be and should be...then why is it hard to imagine that perhaps it is meant (by god) that a person has an abortion? perhaps it (the abortion) is part of the plan of the path of life that your god has created? perhaps there is a reason behind it. why can't the religious think of it this way?

So people have free will..but if you are religious then this free will is still governed by gods path for you and for the world at large. So if abortion is part of free will...then it is still the path chosen by god, no?

Anyway yeah, i'm not religious, but i never understood why the religious don't think of it this way.

plese no bashing. I am merely asking why this is not accepted as a possibility by the religious. respectful answers only please.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.”

Jesus himself sanctions this. When Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating. He defends himself by attacking them for not killing disobedient children according to the commandment: “He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.” (Matthew 15:4-7)

Isn't Jesus supposed to love and forgive people?

And if it had no impact on your home life, other than the child spending (more) time at church and reading the bible and praying before bed in their own time?

I don't know very much about christianity... Not christian but i was just wondering how that all works out... I also heard some branches of christianity believe that christ was god so... does that mean we're all god also? Just curious how this is addressed in the bible not attacking christianity or anything.
