Virtually all of the elements of Orthodox Christian rituals, from miter, wafer, water baptism, alter, and doxology, were adopted from the Mithra and earlier pagan mystery religions.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is being sued in a Belgian court, holding him responsible for the 1982 massacres of 800 to 2,000 Palestinian civilians in Lebanese refugee camps, the daily Le Soir reported Saturday.
The plaintiffs in the suit against Sharon are a mix of Palestinians, Lebanese, Moroccans and Belgians grouped in an ad hoc committee.
They accuse Sharon of allowing Christian militias to slaughter between 800 and 2,000 Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila camps located in an area of Lebanon controlled by the Israeli military after Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon when Sharon was defense minister.

I didn't just say Christians because I know that others of different faiths believe that what ever harm they cause will return to them. But what about the Athiest? Do they get off scott free?

Not just that you believed that God existed, but there was incontrovertible proof?

lol, my husband just asked me this, but on a serious note, is it possible for all of us to respect each other and agree to disagree without all of the adversity and strife and to stop reporting people just because you do not agree with them and leave the reporting for the ones who really deserve it, like the obscene, and the crass?

Why are you an atheist? Why don't you believe in God? To those of you who believe in God please explain why you do believe in God so that these atheists may have reason to consider a change in their ways.

I often do. Usually it is just imaginary judgements that I put on myself. Sometimes I behave in a way which I know is no good for me.

Are there any specific spiritual practices that help with shame? and/or help me to find more willpower?

(p.s. I'm into Buddhism)

Someone is going to say they think there is life on other planets as yet undiscovered, but shouldn't we wait till we find it before we conclude that God exists?
