the denominations of the church....

i mean im glad that martin luther did the whole protestant reformation and all, cuz i do hav some problems with catholocism (im not bashing it its just my opinion), but all the denominations hav sorta turned into different "little religions" of christianity and some of these denominations actually FIGHT over whos all right

i mean theres ONE God, why do ppl think theres a one RIGHT way to worship him?

ive grown up in a babtist church all my life....just so u know

Because I'm not Catholic, just Christian and so I was wondering. Because I'd love to get a cross because I had one before but it got too small.

Faith brings people together and religion divides. Why do good people personally and psychologically identify with a certain interpretation of the Bible to the extent of waging wars against their friends, family and neighbors over differing opinions? Which church is the true church? Are all the other untrue churches going to hell?

How? In the Gospel of Luke it says the Christ "...opened their understanding..."
Was he literally enlightening his disciples, or something else? What? Can one individual enlighten another? Many believe one must 'walk the path alone', through meditation, reflection and contemplation, but is there a way for a teacher to induce a direct experience? I'm not talking shortcuts, I'm talking accelerated learning. Is it remotely possible?

I'd like to know that if belief in several contradictory irrational concepts is required of a member of a religious group, is this faith therefore built on self-deception?

And if this is the case, does faith rely on an ignorance of multiple perspectives, an ignorance of uncomfortable logical pathways that exist.

I see that many choose to ignore to entertain the thought, but is this not in direct contradiction to carrying a truth seeking mind?

Is comfort the highest ideal of many? And by comfort I mean persisting in a worldview that encourages ignorance, by setting up assumptions that the search for all else outside the claims of a particular religion is futile.

If it is termed as futile, then people will persist in not investigating ideas from different perspectives and will use the rules of a religion as the critera for accepting or refusing to accept the logic that may exist outside it.

This is nothing more than an ignorant denial rather than a coherent knowledge inclusive search for the truth.

They're constantly making up excuses for it.

So many of the people have got after me for challenging the G & L lifestyle, and yet I try to stay out of that section. I ask questions about G & L persons that lead a life contrary to my and many others spiritual beliefs. Yet they demand that we include them in our fellowships. Athiests pop in and ridicule our beliefs and bash us, and yet many of you don't consider that persecution or "hate speach". So why do you come to fight us? If our beliefs are untrue or have no basis, why must you oppose them? Is it because you hate God so much? I mean what is you motivation for coming against us? Do you feel guilty?
Christians are compelled to share our faith, I am certian that we don't always do it correctly, but these are troubled times, I believe a message of peace in Christ is in order. Why are you compelled to share your unfaith, or come against us if you don't believe? Are you worried about a God you don't believe in? Are you concerned about your lifestyle being wrong?

Because they tell us it isn't? How can we be sure that we don't just hear what they want us to hear?
