I just posed a partially tounge in cheek question about God being boss of the universe or just earth. I was literally inundated with responses from people the majority of who answer as if I'm foolish for having any doubt at all about whatever faith they follow. Believe, fine but be open to other points of view. How can we ever hope to live together when people of all backgrounds are so utterly convinced by whichever text they follow - text written by very questionable sources, hundreds of years ago. If it wasn't so tragic it would actually be funny.

You haven't seen anything yet.
Type in the space provided on top of page "Search for question":
If Jesus was also human, then what he think about his sexuality?
I know, the question was asked like that.
Than look for the answer from "Ahmed".
Check this guy's profile and look at all the
answers he has given.
Boy, talk about religious zealot. I think he beats them all.

You know, I sent an answer to Bono's question earlier today, and on the message board I saw a short answer - 'The answer is Islam' - what was the point of that? Everyone has a right to believe in what they want, or not, but I thought such an action a total waste of time and energy...so to a certain extent I can agree with you, but I think people don't know the meaning of self control. I'm a Roman Catholic, I go to mass, I try to be a good person, but I don't let it interfer with such issues and sometimes religion has no place in such discussions. As humans we have to get the balance right and notice when to apply our beliefs or opinions, and at other times to adopt the broader view and let common sense dictate. Nice day.

Try not to let yourself get wound up by these religious wackos.
They are so obsessed by what they think is "the truth" that they cannot accept that someone else's thoughts or beliefs are valid. Of course, to any sane and rational person such an attitude is not only oppressive, but actually offensive.
But the main difference between us rational people and them is that we can see both sides, and know that the basic religious laws ( common to all religions) such as trying to get along with everyone and not being hateful are just plain common-sense. We dont need any religion to tell us something which is blindingly obvious in the first place.
So however much religious fundamentalists of any persuasion may rant, just ignore them. Their minds are set in concrete and you'll never change them, so just smile and tolerate them. You'll be happier than they ever will be.

I'm quite happy to say each to his own but draw the line when people try to impose their views on others.
If you want to believe then that's fine. If i want to believe then it's up to me and I don't need anyone to tell me in what way I do that. Religion has a lot to answer for over the years so I don't want anyone telling me that their beliefs are better than anyone else's.
I suppose it doesn't surprise or scare me how many overly religious people there are but it is worrying.

No, not at all. What worries me is the number of people who post such questions, as yours and do not really want an answer.
Why ask the question in the first place?
However, its best to be sure of all things. Get a bit of knowledge.
The alternative to God and Creation is the Big Bang and the Evolutionary Theory.

i was actually annoyed at the replies on your post , even as a non believer you are entitled to be curious and ask questions regarding religion
I'm a spiritual person that believes in god , but I'm quite shocked at the amount of hate said through these boards let a lone the world because " mine is better than yours " attitude , its like listening to kids in the playground fighting over who's dads the strongest
what i would suggest though as i looked back on your questions is not bringing yourself down to that level by saying " all religions are nonsense " cause i think that's what sparked it .... but of course you are entitled to your opinion , but maybe say you aren't religious and that leaves your question open to all and get more logical and reasonable replies ( hopefully )

Yes, it's very scary. I find the idea that you're only a worthy human being if you belong to a particular club very, very worrying. My family is half Christian, half Muslim, while my girlfriend's family is Hindu. There are plenty of good ideas in those three beliefs, but I've chosen to form my own set of beliefs and my own code of ethics based on my own experience and on how I would like to be treated myself. Does this mean I'm going to hell? Maybe I should ask that next?

Actually yes it is scary that a human being can get into such a brainwashed state and that it appears so many have done so. It is also worrying that in the USA these people have pressure groups and a voice in the government.

about the purely element scarier than a Mormon operating will be a Scientologist. The Mormon faith become depending by using a con guy, and believed till the mid 60s that blacks were an inferior species of people, which coincidentally become around the time of the civil rights flow.

yeah there is that but then again if you go back a few hundred years our societies were absolutely drenched in Biblical meaning because it might be the only book a person ever read, so it has had a profound affect on society to the extent that many of our sayings have a Biblical origin
