Religion and spirituality is a touchy subject. People have different beliefs. Some people don't have beliefs at all. However, there is one pressing question that has been on my mind.

What is the purpose of attacking another person's religious beliefs?

What is the use in branding Christians as ignorant; or defining Atheists as evil? Does having beliefs give you ground of bashing someone else and branding them as wrong? If so, why?

We are called to come to Christ just as we are. I will never turn someone away or make them feel unwanted in a church based upon what they wear, but I ask you to consider the following;
If the best clothes you have are a pair of ripped up jeans, worn out tennis shoes and a ragged t shirt, then it is entirely appropriate for you to wear those clothes to church. However, if you have access to something nicer, you should wear it as a sign of respect. This goes DOUBLE (in my opinion) for those who work in a profession wear business attire is required and wear a suit and tie (or dress, pant suit, etc) to work, but wear casual slacks and a tshirt to church on Sunday.
I understand that it's what's in someones heart that's important, but making an effort to show respect by wearing the best you have, whether it may be a deteriorating tshirt or armani, should be expected?
What do you think?
(PS, yes I know some of you are Jesus bashers and will post the obligatory anti christian retoric)

I know the catholic bible has 73 books and the version the protestant use has 6. But supposedly there were way many more books than that at the time of the nicea council that decided what would be kept!

Exodus 21: 23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Matthew 5: 38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right

cheek, turn to him the other also.

Recently a Dutch bishop said that Christians should start to refer to God as "Allah" to ease tensions with Muslims. I'm inclined to agree. Christians have demonized and oppressed Muslims for hundreds of years and it's about time we start to make ammends. Besides, does it really matter what we call our God? It's not like any Christians refer to him by his real name, Yahweh (or Jehovah). I agree that "Allah" is "a beautiful name" to call our God and I think we should move towards refering to him as such if it will allow us to move closer in spirituality and friendship with our Islamic brothers.

What does Yahoo think?

I'm in college, and would it be wrong to steal like the packets of equal sugar for coffee, because I have a jar of coffee and no sugar. All would it be wrong to take like a couple of forks, spoons and knives.

The tuition is like 37,000 and rising each year. So I think I'm entitled to those sugar packets and that silverware. Am I wrong in thinking like that?

I've seen Jesus on Milk Cartons but never at the bank. If Jesus really does save does he use a "piggy" bank or a little golden calf bank?

Has God changed? Is He a different God that the one to whom Abraham, Moses, King David, Jesus, and the Apostles obeyed? If not, then why not live and imitate the way they lived? If they were good enough for God then, then why are the way they lived their lives so villified by Christians today? Does God's culture and desires change with society or is it the same to day as it was 2000 years ago or even 3000 years ago?

Based on the correct answers to one of my previous questions that a covenant is an agreement or contract between two parties?

after all, isn't this the message they send from another of their imaginary friends?

my point is, one does not need some sky-god-given morality to live peacefully or tolerantly. one simply needs the laws and rules set forth by man himself, which is exactly what we have always done, only now, our law enforcement officials wear badges and guns instead of robes and crucifixes...

Since the answerers of my previous question have correctly established that a covenant is a two way agreement between two parties.

To me how it is that God and Jesus can be the same ones if here it is very clear that they cannot be. Also, when he prayed while he was here on Earth, who did he pray to if not his Father? I want reasonable answers backed with more than 2 scriptures. Focusing and interpreting one just isn't gonna do it.

conclude that it is correct to believe in a world without a god of any kind? This idea of a world without a god is one myth out of the number, diversity and variety of myths made possible by our creative abilities and powers of imagination.
