Does everybody sin? Does everybody need to be forgiven?
If a baby dies after 5 minutes is it a sinner? should it have asked to be forgiven?

Why are they so intolerent if a member sins and when they put them out of their church they shun them?
This is hypocrital as Jesus said 'he who is without sin,
let him cast the first stone'. There is a report in our local newspaper today about this, and the people are distraught because their daughter who is also a JW will not speak to them.

18 years ago communism was not only a way of life in many parts of this world.....it was a religion. Today, it is no longer.
At the moment there are billions of Christians and Muslims in the world( and I believe most are also capitalists) who hold their religions to be 'the truth', just as the communists accepted communism to be the truth( or as capitalists think theirs is the best 'system' in their lives), these billions of souls also have accepted their "religions to be the truth!
What if.......(and that is truly impending social(historical)inevitable change) an upheaval that saw the fall of communism befalls these beliefs? Will people cease to worship God-the One God?
In an allegory, would Catholics cease to be Catholics should the Messiah appears now? Or the illuminati close shop because of that?

This is about Yahoo's "news" question about whether the internet should be anonymous. It is a point that did not come up in the responses. I am a Muslim who is very, very critical of the way in which Islam is delivered. I 100% agree that the Qur'an is the unmitigated Word of God. It is because of the Qur'an that I have come to believe it is God's will that humans free themselves up from human endeavours like religion.

Can you see where I am going with this?

I sure as hell do not want any of those crazy hot-blooded terrorists coming after me in the name of Allah!!

I deserve (and so does everyone reading this) to have an opinion, to have that opinion challenged, to make mistakes, to have those mistakes corrected, to be respected, to be disrespected, the whole thing.

It is not just or fair to force me or anyone else drop their anonymity because of a few meat-heads and snivellers who's views are contrary to their own.

Are we really willing to be held accountable?

Why does God allow people to be born in places that have never even heard of Jesus or if they did, it's a moot point since their entire society is not nor was ever Christian?

I didn't put myself forward as anything, that was done by others and I believe ultimatley by the hand of God. But i've been put on a pedastal and in defending myself raised myself even more. If God wanted me to do this God would have come staight out and said so, but didn't. So have I done wrong by God to defend myself. Jesus didn't in his trial and he is the ultimate example. I swear i'm not a Christian, although admittedly am confused about that.

I waiver between two. The last words of Jesus and the death of Judas Iscariot.

Acts 1:18: "Now this man (Judas) purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out."

Matt. 27:5-7: "And he (Judas) cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests...bought with them the potter's field."

Matt.27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."

Luke 23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

John19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

on most issues people tend to pick one of a only few sides (in a lot of cases only two, but say for the sake of argument, 4 or 5 different opinions on a specific issue, max).

However, on the topics of existence of God(s) and the human soul we have literally dozens if not hundred varying opinions (many mutually exclusive). Is this not an indicator that there is a lot of bullshitting going on?

Can you think of other topics which yield such a plethora of differing opinions?

If we accept that the universe is vast -as scientists claim-(although no one has gone out there that far and came back with physical proofs), what pausible reasons can "believers' have to think that He who created this miniscule earth is the creator of other vast galaxies in the universe?
The scenario here is that of a man who had never been to Timbuctu and yet "believes' that his "God' is the same "God' that Timbuctans believes in...
What i know is that unless and until universe's other inhabitants come to tell us about their "God" or "gods", we might find ourselves worshipping a different God altogether!
Sounds silly...chew it slowly.

Seems a gathering can come together and burn the American flag, burn the Bible, burn the Torah, burn the Wiccan books of spells and Magick...but the moment anyone does anything to a koran, all hell breaks loose. Why is that?

A bunch of us want to burn a few Arabic ones and a Hezbollah banner outside the city limits in peaceful protest of radical Islamofundies, but we fear we'll get arrested even still because the Muslims will whine and call CAIR. I live in the Bible Belt, worst of all, and people burn flags and Bibles all THE time down here. And nothing happens to them. What up with that?

That I, as a Christian,could ask, of the others in this section who are not Christian.
From the Atheist to the polydeist to the Pagan, Wiccan, Muslim...etc.
Certainly I expect your opinion, and if you care to a reason.
Thank You in advance for your generous responses.

The saddness of knowing that so many millions are wasting their one and only chance at life by bowing down in fear and/or false hope that an invisible deity will either punish them or save them. That causes them to pursue and defend false beliefs even to the point of war.

Atheists, what if you are wrong, and Pascal's wager really ISN'T the most overused argument in the Christian play book? What if you're wrong?? What have you got to lose?

Oh yeah, and why are Atheists in this category anyway?

I had thought that I would find this question previously asked, with many answers.(I didn't; it wasn't) I'm wondering what people think. I suppose it depends a lot on ones definition of Christianity. I'll post this question under "religion" I wonder if answers would be very different if I put it under "military.
