Iraqi's are not familiar with the "Pledge of Aligence", They have one desire in Life, that is to lift Their "God", and put their moral, and sacred principles, "First". Could America learn something from the Middle Eastern Countries, Here in America we like to put up "facades", and other countries realize this. The Terrorist involved with 9-11, came to America to Kill, they found young women with no moral principles, that in fact aided in these Terrorist pursuit of Virgin's in Heaven. We are arrogent and misleading Our own Children when We behave as We know how to dictate Morality. As Christians we are told to Love One another, but even Jesus gave us whom Our Brother is "Who does the Will of My Father", who do you put "first", and how would you direct your children to project Christ's love.

First of all, if, and that is a big if, there even is a God who created all, he created all with diversity.
Jesus is only the savior for those who believe in him. There are many other trains of thought and even interpretations in each religion.
Religion, if you look at history, has always been used to control populations, has been the justification for countless wars and murders and is not inclusive, it is the opposite, religion is divisive.
To put one moral idea in a position of power is a mistake. We all have a right to seek a higher power in our own way.
The founding fathers of this country recognized that and wrote our constitution accordingly. The most powerful tool...the word...has allowed the freedom of expression that has created amazing things we live with and the freedoms we enjoy today. That word is the constitution of the United States, not the Bible or Koran.
Morals, are not a religious idea, they are a human idea and part of being human, not part of being a Muslim or Christian.
Christ is not the answer. Love, freedom and acceptance are.

You are crazy to think that all the women's morals in the towers and on the planes and so forth that day aided those crazy demons to hurt us. Not everyone is a slut. I am sure that they had other things on their minds than virgins in heaven and now they are rotting in Hell. Wow!! you are Muslim maybe.?? That was just another excuse to kill Americans and Christians. If we are not like them, than they do not want us to be alive. I can't believe you are saying this. Why are you so speaking so badly of women? Who are you? What are you? Even if America has some "facade," does that mean we asked for punishment or got what we deserved because of idiots like you think that way? Those men did not even know us. They were fanatics and mentally off and crazy. They are getting what they deserve and I hope that all of the Muslim Martyrs like those rot in Hell.
OH my gosh I am reading other people's answers and I can not believe that they are not calling you out on this. I can't believe that they are talking about how they live for Christ and not seeing what you truly say!!!!!!!

Are you saying that the moral and sacred principles of Middle East people is to kill each each other?
'Love' as proclaimed by Jesus Christ goes much further...Jesus said 'Love your enemies' If your enemy is one who does not do the will of the father, shouldn't we love him?
Americans are not angels but there is no country in the world that does more for humanity(internationally) than the US.
May God bless America.

Part of your error is in equating "religion" with "spirituality", which is truly false. "Religion" is all about rules and regulations. Spirituality is about inner growth.
Religious people think that those who don't follow the rules are causing a moral plague on the planet.
The truth is that obeying rules "religiously" has no meaning. It is simply a means of imposing a particular "order" on society. It does not promote spiritual grownt.
Spirituality, on the other hand, will lead to peace regardless of religion. There have been many people on Earth who have demonstrated this spirituality ... Mother Theresa, Lao Tsu, Buddah and countless others. Why is it that we ignore these examples and put our trust in people reading from a book. "By their works shall ye know them", "Faith without works is dead". The Christian Bible teaches that what people DO is important.
Follow those that DO peace, that CARE for others. Religion leads to confrontation. Spirituality leads to peace and good will. Christ was spiritual, not religious. He spoke out against pompous religiosity.

As Christians we are to put Christ first. Everything else including our family is second although Christ has them high on his list so that makes it easy. The problem with the muslim virgins in heaven thing is that they don't belive that women have souls and so they're not going to heaven, the virgins are virgin boys, and don't those virgin boys have souls? I think we could learn something from the way they put their God first.

First of all i say Amen.
I woke up today with 3 dreams of rape Tormenting my mind and soul. Where do they come from? if i have never had SEx since after i became born again?
My chastity was never in question through most of my adult life too.
but if these kinds of dreams are common among all men and that it is proven that all men cannot stop them in the middle of their delusional altered state. Then NO ONE is truly worthy of Gods mercy and should be damned and thrown into hell.
No one deserves to live if all people are guilty of these things.
But truly God loves us, and our Saviour loved us so much he became the sacrificial lamb and submitted his will to the will of OUR Father in heaven.
I PUT God first! in my whole i sought to Study and learn and to preach and teach and testify of the glory of Jesus which i beheld of him. But in so doing I am despaired of life and economic plans and have no hope but to live homelessly until Gods mercy will take my life from this mortal existence. IF he does at all?

The answer is teaching your children to serve others and put themselves and your needs second. Christ served and healed others.
