the questions of religion and if so why have they not shared them with the rest of us to promote world peace? And if you do not have all of the answers then why can you not let everyone believe what they like and simply keep quiet if you do not believe the same thing?

At least if you have nothing nice to say or intelligent to broadcast, you should simply not answer the question if you think it is so far beneath you....correct?

i agree with you completely ......... i usually keep my mouth shut if i don't know the answer (unless someone bashes me of course - that's self defence LOL)
i feel that it's better to ''waste'' 5 points on saying ''hi, have a nice day'' than on spreading the worm of hatred
hi, have a nice day :)

The bible is the only source of true answers and if we want to know them it is imperative that we spend some time in personnal study, otherwise you would be listening to someone elses opinion. Remember how the bible cautions against following the traditions of men? We have to carefully measure what we learn against what the bible says because it alone is truth and the inspired word of God. The commandment from Jesus alone is why true christians go about teaching the word of God. He said to be fishers of men making disciples and baptizing them. There is one God, one son Jesus Christ, one bible and one truth. If a religion has untruth in it then it is not true religion. Jehovah god hates a lie, he does not lie. Remember the Ethiopian Eunuch who was riding along in a chariot reading the word of God out loud? One of the disciples asked him if he really knew what he was reading and he replied something to the effect of, "How really would I unless someone instructed me?" The same is true of us today, we must spend time in a personal study to get the bibles view point to know truth and gain understanding. This can be done with prayer and help of holy spirit. And as far as promoting world peace Jehovah God has foretold how he will end this wicked system of things at Armageddon. As long as Satan and his demons influence this system of things there will be no world peace. At Armageddon the wicked will be cut off as foretold in the bible and the earth will be restored to a beautiful paradise earth. In order for us to have a part in this peaceful condition we must do our part to be ready for that time when there are no more tears, no more sorrow and death is swallowed up forever. I have included a link to some sites that I think you will enjoy. I hope I have answered some of your questions.

no, i personally think that religion/the bible was just an ancient story told by the very first man. cuz if you think about it theres many stories like the bible with wierd tales of kings and gods and stuff like ancient greece or w/e they believed in many different gods and we know that they did not exist it was just folklore so why cant the bible be the same? in the bible god talks to man why does he not talk to man anymore? why and how are there what like thousands of different religions if it is all based on the same thing. i can only see 2 religions those who say it happened and those who dont! there are just to many things in there that seem just to unreal to be real. no one will ever believe one religion unless they find that all religion isa hoax and they would never tell the people because would absolutely go insane knowing that everything they believed in was completely wrong and fake, causing extreme violence over the world.

the funny thing about religion is there is no right answer. most religions teach the same basic concepts. the problem is that no one can agree on how to worship a God and fight over land they believe is holy, among other things. also, people who follow a religion, in general, do believe they have the correct answers. many are fervent in their beliefs. people are sharing like you ask, but no one can agree on religion, ever.

Science may not have all the answers yet, but as least it provides the right approach and religion isn't helping by defending its bronze age myths to death.

Because, no matter how hard we try to spread the word of God to promote peace throughout the world, there will still be those who are so closed minded or afraid they will never accept. How 'bout we start with you....God Bless!!

The 1st amendment of the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. That's what we're exercising. As a t-shirt I once saw reads, "put on your big girl panties and deal with it".

so how we going to get to world peace if we don't share with each other what our beliefs are. its the person who makes up thier mind on what they just heard. the way to get closer is through communication. from their is understanding, from there is acceptence. from there is unity.

God has given answers to all man's questions in His Holy Books, why don't you use your rational sense to seek them for yourself?
If you ignore God's wisdom, then who is wiser than Him to give you answers?
Please seek and you will find as He has promised through all His Divine Messengers.
