With the religions that state a one true diety and many other smaller gods (ie angels, saints, demigods etc), is the world ready for a unified religion that will solve all religious problems.

I know they were born much earlier than Jesus but other than that, it seems there were other similiarities. Could this be true?

According the the Apostle John, How do we show God we love Him? What does the heart matter?

Are real atheists keep preaching their belief that "there is no god." Or compell to prove they are right? Are most true atheists pretty apathetic about god and religion? And embrace all the positive humanistic aspects of religion (i.e. charity)?

I keep being told if I don't believe I will be sent to eternal torment. But, because God "loved" the world he gave us his Son so that only 2% of humanity (the smart ones who do as they are told) will be saved?
Pretty lame love if you ask me. A two bit lawyer can get more people off than that. Do these Christians have an angry God?

Do you understand why they reject theism? How they can look around themselves and not credit all the 'creation' to a creator? Or are you just befuddled and claim atheists are ignorant or lost?

Think about it folks, The Apostle Paul(and the New Testament) states that we are lost in our sins without the blood of Jesus Christ because "the wage of sin is death". If this is so, then why did God outline methods of atoning for sin in the Torah? This is futile if in the end everyone is going to hell anyway. Prayer, sacrafice and seeking forgiveness would all be done in vain.

pretty much a broad question so here it goes.

Christian what if you die and Allah and Muhammad are looking at you, what would you say as your being rejected from heaven?

Muslims what will u do if your looking at Jesus when you die and he really is God, and your being rejected from his presence. What would you say to him?

Atheists what would you do if you died and saw God, what would you say?

And just one more for theists....What if you died and knew there was no God. I know this question is flawed because you wouldnt be alive to know, but what if you just somehow found out once you died.

Have no worries, Peace =D

If an article by Jehovah's Witnesses comes out acknowledging a particular subject as being a personal choice, just as long as this personal choice is not imposing or stumbling others... shouldn't others in the congregation respect this decision, especially when this decision has been left up to the individual?

How do ppl think it's right or ok to go out to a bar or club or party or just sit at home on a saturday night and get drunk or maybe not even get drunk just drink and then go to church on a sunday morning and think that everything is fine...i just cant bring my self to the idea that drinking and being a Christian just don't mix. Isnt that sort of hipocritical?
i kno that drinking is not a sin...but it does say in the bible that any addiction is a sin.. and i believe ppl that have more then 2 or 3 beers a day everyday or every weekend are addicted... i have told ppl before that i dont think it's right, but of course theyre gonna argue with me and tell me it's not a sin.

I do not see myself as being any better or worse than anyone else. I am no better than the Atheist or anyone else. The only one on this planet who better than everyone else is God! I am thankful that God touched my heart and has led me to a path of salvation. I don't think its right to constantly cast judgement at others. Unless you want to someday find yourself in the same position they are in. I don't want to take God for granted. I was once an unbeliever myself. It helps when someone who is a believer can show you love no matter what. That helped me! And so when I see an unbeliever, I do not want to show them anything but how I would want to be treated. Atheists choose their belief or disbelief. But why turn them completely away by casting constant judgement against them? People know and some don't know! Some know the bible like the back of their hand! Some, think they know when they don't. I lacked knowledge once. How can anyone else be any different?

He was 33 and 1/2. He was baptized at 30 years of age and became the 'Christ' or the 'anointed one'. His preaching and miraculous works went on for 3 and 1/2 years, to Nisan 33 C.E. (or A.D.) when he was impaled on a stake and died at 33 and 1/2, ending his earthly ministry. He was resurrected within 3 days later.

Is it just the young people that go door to door, knocking and spreading the things that they spread?

What do the OLDer people do? Do they have a hemified scooter? Or do the OLDer people just not go around?

I've always wonder, why? Why is it that I have never seen an OLDer Jehovah Witness at my door?

Did Jesus shown practically 3 stages of spirituality?

Dualism / Dwaitha Philosophy
Qualified non-difference / visishta-advaitham Philosophy
Non-Dualism / Advaitham Philosophy

It is said that Jesus showed us practically 3 different stages of spirituality.

1. In his childhood he prays god and thinks that he and god are different.
2. Later he proclaims that he is son of god
3. Before his death he proclaims that he is god, by saying King of Nazareth

It is said that we are flowers of a tree. The tree is god. Initially when plucked out, the flower thinks that, it is different from the tree. When it is in the tree, it feels that it is a part of the tree. When you look at the whole tree, you realize that flower is also a tree.

This is the form of spirituality. Similar stages are explained in Islam too.

Son of God demonstrated practically the progress of spirituality.

..to be in the quandary of religious dogma? Those that adhere to religious beliefs are hindering themselves and not enjoying what life has to offer. There are so many activities that one can partake in that may be against religious dogma.

Do you think that those who are religious are missing out on things that we, who are religion-free, actively enjoy?
