All three, in my mind, are mythologies, neither of them are factual or proven, so what is the difference? Is it just because people still follow Christianity and Islam, but not characters like Odin and Thor?

why does God give us the change to choose wether we want to kill someone or not, would a father of his children (mankind) allow the risk that someone can kill an other person? why did God gave us free will knowing that we will abuse that gift?

I am tired of this paradox going round and round.If god can be jealous why can't we?
"For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." (Exodus 34:14)
Oh and I thought his name was Jehova or Yaweh or Brian.

When you are born again, you are made righteous ~ you were justified ~ you were sanctified!
You can read in Rom 8:1, we see that "there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".
Did you know that you were justified? We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23), but thankfully we have recieved the righteousness of Jesus when we were born again (Rom 5:17) and justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Rom 3:24). We have been made the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:21). You have been sanctified throught the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all (Heb 10:10). Read HEB 10~God doesn't wish for us to feel guilt and less than worthy due to sin.
God sees us as righteous even tho we repent of our sins.

I know many follow a more 'sin conscious' doctrine, but do you consider these scriptures? Do you feel the weight of sin? No judgements please :D

I hate The God. Because lot of partiality showing by the god now. Example A and B. If A and B do some bad thing. A get severe punishment. But B escape from that punishment and leading happiest life and enjoying this world like anything. Another thing, A and B do some good thing. A will suffer a lot in this world. Infact A suffered a lot ( it is not explain in words) that type of suffering by doing good things to the human beings. But B get all blessings from the god and enjoy the life.Infact enjoyment is in the peak.
Most of the people I witnessed not going to temple, church or Mosque. But they are very happy, No problems, their children reading very well and lots of money in their hands. But others going to temple, church and mosque regularly but suffering a lot. This is called worst politics by the god or in other words partiality by the god. I read Bagawat gita, Bible and koran. But God is acting against to that words in those books now. Why eminent people can answer my question.

A woman holding a sign outside where Bush was supposed to be reading "Someone give him a ******* so we can impeach him!"

Is this what people in their hatred have been reduced to? Cheering for immorality and hoping and praying for the downfall of our president?

I just cant identify with that type of attitude because I want America to have the best moral representation possible. I may not have liked Clinton but I didnt hope he would shame the white house getting himself into trouble. I would rather he have set a moral example dont we all?

are they afraid to question the Bible for fear that their "faiths"/beliefs might be shaken?

if so, doesn't that show a weak "faith"/belief?

just wondering.

Aren't the political activities of the christian right and some of the actions and statements of American politicians (from Bush down) unconstitutional?

It says in Mark 14:56–59

"For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree. And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.''' Yet not even so did their testimony agree."

The word he used for hands is "ต้มยำ" which does not actually look like it means hands. What is this word? Is it a symbolic something or other that he used to convey the idea of hands?

Why is it that after a person is passed on, that the Mormon Church baptizes them? Is it wrong for them to be baptized without the person having a say? Does someone actually have a say, like family etc, even if they're family, do they have the right to give that permission? Your thoughts...?

I think it is "thou shalt not steal"

If you kill someone you have stolen someone's love

if you steal something from someones home you had to have coveted it as well.

If you commit adultery then you ahve stolen someones trust

If you have an idol then you steal your faith from GOD

And while I am here I want to ask this too..God accepted Slavery and yet man has made it against the law.

Don't believe me...here is one of his commandments in length

But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as you.

So what is up with the whole "slavery is ok in the commandments?"

I would like to say more but eventually even I tire of writing'

In Eden everything was perfect then when A & E ate the fruit, the world became sinned and all bad things were allowed to happen. Is that what you believe?

As a lapsed Catholic, even I know that Catholics are forbidden to join the Masons under pain of mortal sin. Mahoney at one time said he thought it was alright. This guy is a Cardinal and technically could be Pope. I ran across a pastoral letter reversing his decision while researching the Archdiocese of L.A. after they threw out some nuns in a land grab to get some money to pay off part of the 660 million pedophile priest scandal.
Masonry has elements of naturalistic religion among other things that are forbidden to Catholics. Anyway this guy is supposed to be schooled in this stuff.

What happens to you if you are inactive for long periods of time, are fairly inconsistent with attending church, and don't pay the tithes very often.

and to actively seek knowledge. Why is it that some faiths seem to actively discourage this?
An example would be believers in divine creation refusing to study the theory of evolution, is this in case it is right, and they really don't want to know?
