It was in a bulletin I was given.

You seem very concerned about other people and their beliefs, but....

Do you know yourself?

All the great philosophers say this is vital toward all understanding (and since your mind creates everything about you... who will disagree ;-)

So, can you honestly say that you know yourself?

I've been reassessing my beliefs, but I feel an emptiness and I really want to find somewhere to fill that void. I'm looking for a Christian religion that's pretty liberal without a lot of dogma attached (a basic belief in God and Jesus, but more openmindedness toward liberal beliefs). The churches in my town are Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic, and Baptist.

if heaven and hell exist, would there only be one type of demon and angel, or would there be different specialized varieties, like for battle and such?

Also, they all have very similar religious texts.

Is this some subtle form of race hatred which is based on religion ? Or on what ?

We have all heard you explain how ‘religion’ is just a way for simple minded people to comfort themselves.

Well, why isn’t your materialistic view of the world the same thing?

Could there be anything more comforting then a belief that there is nothing after death (peace, nothingness, all your actions disappearing into a great void…)?

Or, how about a mechanistic view of reality… everything is a chain of physical events…. all measurable, predictable, knowable… sounds comforting to me…

So, could it be that you too are only seeking comfort? Your views are so… easy, what else can I learn from them?

In the United States Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and Muslims get along in relative peace. Other than the occasional jerk that makes a slur, religious groups here simply share the country. Why can't the same happen in Israel?

1. Pork prohibited in Qur’an
The Qur’an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places.
It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115.
“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine,
and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.”
[Al-Qur’an 5:3]
The above verses of the Holy Qur’an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why
pork is forbidden.
2. Pork prohibited in the Bible
The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible
prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus
“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth
not the cud; he is unclean to you”.
“Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch,
they are unclean to you.” [Leviticus 11:7-8]
Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy
“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud,
it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of th
