Bible, Quaran, Tao Te Ching, Bhagavad-Gita, what do you think?

Question

How would it make you feel if the government one day mandated that you could only use one religious text(Bible, Qua'ran, Bhagavad-Gita, Tao Te Ching) for your worship?

Answer 1

The US Constitution grants us the freedom of religion and the "free exercise thereof." That would include our choice of text(or texts) to use. If I had to use only one, I'd go with the Bible, particularly the New Testament.

Answer 2

I would leave that country. But when you talk if you refer to a classic or ancient text that you can quote as a reference, it gives you more oomph. Each participant can give his interpretations of the text.

The Tarot cards have expert readers, if you look at the cards you can get some idea of the karma of the person being read. The Tarot was developed in Turkey. People have food karma, debt karma and other kinds of karma.

(A person's "karma" is the accumulation of his activities)

Some African tribes believe that a person's "debt karma" has a significant effect on the events that take place to the person. The first thing anybody has to do is erase the bad debt karma and the bad things magically stop happening!

Answer 3

In America they can't do that it would be against the First Amendment of the Constitution. Our government cannot establish a religion or prohibit the free exercise thereof. But if they did I would seriously consider having another revolution.

Answer 4

Like a criminal. The only one I haven't read is the Koran, though I have tried repeatedly. It's worse than the old Testament.
I have read many Buddhist texts, too, among others. I would still keep reading if there a way.

Answer 5

Sun has to rise in the west before that happens.

It ain't happening, so quit worrying. Religion is the very breathe of people. Most wars were on the basis of religion. You can go as far back in History.....religion has a role in it. Race, color, creed came next because humans have this ..."...holier than thou..." attitude.

Watch little boys with interest: They have this competition among them as to who pees the farthest. It all stems from there .................

Answer 6

Since you have list of it.
Notice all the ghostly kitchen's ghost stories.
One of them is glittering like a pot of golds at the end of the rainbow in planet of apes.
Notice the differences the ghostly stories was written by the past dirty old men like you and me who made blunders and slip-ups with human errors in sending living human kind on a wild goose chase in making a monkey out of ourselves in planet of apes.
So find the glittering pot of golds then you be on the home-run like me in planet of apes.

Answer 7

The only worthwhile lesson taught in any religion , no matter what language , title, etc. is , " love ye one another "
It would not be necessary to designate a book , If we would learn to " treat people the way we want to be treated ", we could stop the rhetoric , put the books down , and show our religion by our actions .

Answer 8

i think that it is a proposition that will never come true however most people dont realise that islam, christianity and judaism all came from the same person, abraham, and hence share many basic beliefs.

the old testament of the bible is actually the torah, the jewish holy book. so i spose som peepl would comprimise

Answer 9

Nothing I'd feel because I'll read at home all the religious books they are not able to interfere to my worship. It should not be happened as long as our democratic rights are respected.

Answer 10

First of all. the books are all fiction. They are second, third hand stories, written many years after the so called factual event.
This is what goes on in these Desert Countries.....We would be forced to invade ourselves. Religion has no place in politics.
