Religion & Spirituality - 9 September 2007

I'm aware not all Christians believe this but there are many that do and I find it to be one of the more sick Christian doctrines. It's equivalent to a Muslim saying that all Americans are going to burn in hell unless they convert to Islam. How disgusting and ridiculous is that to tell someone who is born into a country where the main religion is Hinduism or Buddhism that they will burn in hell unless they convert to Christianity?

At its most fundamental core, a religion is a pathway to god. The purpose of every religion is to guide man in the right direction, educate him so that he is able to adopt the correct culture, lifestyle and mentality which is needed to connect to the divine creator, as well as to be the personification of God and spread godliness, virtue and love in the world.

Each and every religion is holy, sacred and must be respected because god is in every religion and every religion is in god. Islam and Christianity have been antithetical to the fundamental concept of religion. By marketing their religions like it is a business product and begging for recruits, they are disrespecting the sanctity of religion and they are making religion appear to be cheap.

So a Chjristian friend of mine asked me a question...to me a no brainer (so I thought).
He asked, "What is the most important thing in your life?"
My answer, "my children of course!"
He said," that's where you are going wrong, you have to put Jesus first, God will take care of your children."
Ok, maybe...but I love them, I would do anything for them, I would die for them, they are my life and that just isn't negotiable!
I realize God allowed his son die for us becaused he loves us so much. I just can't fathom putting anything before my babies....
thoughts please?

I've already asked some stuff in the past, and..well..my prayers were answered. And now, I want something big, very big, like my last prayer (it's not a videogame, or a car, or something you cant pray for). And I was wondering, when I pray for it.. Will God answer my prayers for the third time, or are my prayers useless?? (A dream) Please Help!!!

And this is supposed to stop the war in Iraq? How exactly?
The terrorists that look up to this man kill more innocent Iraqi's every day then they do american soldiers. They would murder their islamic brothers just as quickly as they would an American.

It is just a false offering of peace that will go unfullfilled so that he can justify further terroristic attacks on Americans by saying his offers of peace where ignored.

Somebody get this guy already!
What are your thoughts?

Yahoo defines a troll in the following manner:

A "troll" is someone who intentionally and persistently posts inflammatory messages about sensitive topics to bait users into responding or provoke a confrontation. We also consider people to be trolls when they persistently misuse product features such as the ratings system to negatively target others.

So what is a troll in R&S? Pretty much everything we talk about is inflamatory! Which of these questions is not report-worthy by these standards:

"Atheists, do you know that you will burn in hell?"
"Why does God hate me because I'm gay?"
"What do you abortinists not understand?"
"Why do you think the Bible is the Word of God?"
"Why are atheists even here?"
"Did God really tell GWB to go to war?"
"Why do some people say Catholics are Christians?"

I mean, religion is behind wars the world over, and we're supposed to shy away from contentious topics? Any thoughts?

Can someone please explain - simply - to me what the 7 days of creation were all about.
I have to do something in school about it, and would really appreciate hearing about it in its simplest form.

I'm sick & tired of suffering from the effects of christianity & if smokers can sue tobacco companies for selling smokes, I can sue god for pissing me off. I want the email for god's lawyer & also for the legal teams representing Moses, Allah, Buddah, Tinkerbell & any other god/creator/cult leader. This is a holy war, 21st century style.

Ok, so I'm not a really religious person and I never actually believed in God (don't be mean with me because of this) but I think I'm starting to belive in Him. I saw a movie "Evan Almighty" and on the movie a person said that God doesn't give you what you want right away, he gives you oppurtunities. Like, if you want to make your dream come true, God will not give you a scholarship just like that...(just an example of a dream), instead he will give you an oppurtunity to get a schoolarship. On my first day of classes I prayed to God and I asked him to make at least just 1 one true friend, and he didn't give a friend right away, he gave me the oppurtinity to make a friend. Now I asked God for love (something related to my crush) and he gave me some upportunities to talk with him.

Is that true? Does God gives you opurtunities instead of the things that you want?

I often see a comment "if you want your children to learn about Religion take them to a Church" or words to that affect.

So the question is in all honesty would you rather have your child learn about comparative religion, and its history or only have them learn about one religion?

And people that are adamant Religion should not be mentioned in Schools, should it be unmentionable in History classes?

Please tell me does Religion have any place being mentioned in Education?
