Can any of you honestly stand up for his or her own religion?

Question

and say that bad or evil things have not been done in its name? Christianity? Judaism? Hinduism? Others?

Can you honestly say that everyone professing your religion is following your religious teachings to the letter? Do you not have any rotten eggs? Be honest.

And how many times have you gone out and tried to stop these actions that you thought were evil/bad. Does this make all your religion and your followers evil? Should all of you be killed/exterminated/wiped out? Answer honestly.

Do you think you have the right to judge? No?

Then why do I hear the same things being said about Islam and muslims again and again? I am sick of so many people expecting muslims to shoulder the blame for the actions of those around them? Do you?

Why do you set a different standard for a different people when you cannot stand up to it yourself? Are you not spreading hate? Are you not spreading destruction? Are you not spreading evil ideas? Be honest and be truthful when you reply.

Answer 1

This is going to be fun. I think you are trying to bash religion in a general sense (specifically Christianity), and normally I would join you because if classified I would fall under the agnostic-athiest realm.

However, I believe that my personal religion is solely mine and only mine, I believe that I have minor details different than other agnostics and I truly am the only believer of my own religion.

So with that said, let me answer your questions.

Yes I can stand up for my own religion. Yes I have done bad things in its name. I am following it to the letter because I make it up as I go! Sure, sometimes I think I am evil, but I kind of like being evil. No I do not have the right to judge, I have the right to listen. I like the Islamic religion, they have many strong points. However, there are a small community of religious fanatics that, yes, are screwing over the rest of the religion and bringing lots of negative blame to the muslim people. I do not believe that Muslims should shoulder the blame. I do not set a different standard, I believe that all people are entitled to their OWN personal beliefs and opinions. I am not one too judge. I also will never have the capacity to learn and fully understand each and every person's indvidual religion, therefore, I remain agnostic. However, I will listen to anyone's opinons as long as they do not force their religion upon me. I am not spreading hate, I am trying to spread understanding. I have spread destruction, but only to those whom bear down destruction on me first. I may have a few "evil" ideas, but I try my best not to spread them. I do not force my religion or my ideas on anyone. I am willing to listen as long as others are willing to listen to me.

Does that help?

Answer 2

Does the action of a hypocrite make the religious belief invalid?

Islam = Peace (almost the exact definition of the word Islam)
so how do you have an "Islamic Jihad"? (Peaceful Holy War)

Christianity is supposed to be about leading others to the acceptance of forgiveness through belief in Christ as savior. Its pretty hard to lead someone to accept forgiveness by blowing their brains out or chopping them up with a sword.

Judaism is also supposed to be about following God's rule in living together in peace and harmony (even though the Old Testament {Jewish people have a different name for the "Chronicles" section of the OT} has the Jews claiming God said to kill a whole series of societies off to the last man, woman and child...)

Evil people have abused religions that are SUPPOSED to be based on the premise of "can't we all just get along?" since the beginning of time.

That doesn't necessarily make the religion the problem. The evil people abusing the power they gain through the religions are the problem.

Answer 3

Honestly I really cannot point to a single evil thing done in the name of my religion.

granted there have been been many evil people that have been members of my religion, but the evil actions they did were almost always for political reasons rather than religious.

As for having the right to judge them. If they commit evil acts I have every obligation to condemn them and stop them if I can.

As for setting a different standard I do not. Its just many Muslims have failed to most of them. If a person in a Mosque talks about killing innocent people for any reason its members have every moral obligation to report it to the authorities and do what they can to stop him. And when violence happens they also have an obligation to condem it and not condone it.

I expect as much from any decent human being.

Answer 4

Have bunches of rotten eggs...in many ways. Bad and evil things have been done by all mankind and yes, tolerated or ignored by some belief systems. I am trying to stop those things that are bad and evil by being here. I also write religious commentaries. No, I have NO right to judge where sin is concerned and NO control over who goes to heaven. I hate the things said about Islam and Muslims too...and you would see that...feel free to go back and read my answers anytime.

I am always honest and truthful

No you answer all your own questions please.

Answer 5

I will stand for my faith. I am not a perfect example, perhaps not even a good one but I believe that Christianity is the true faith. I will hasten to add that in the name of Christianity more evil has been done than in many other religions. Does that make Christianity bad. No but it does make one check the teachings of the New Testament out and compare it with the church you are looking at. I do believe that the New testament is the best writings of all the religions to be able to fallow. The Koran has much good but it also contains directives to do evil to accomplish the prophets goals.

Answer 6

My religion was wiped out about two hundred years after its creation, resurfaced and was wiped out again in the 13th century, and resufaced again in the 20th century. We have a very short period of recorded history to examine, and the worst allegations ever made against us were allegations of kinky sex--made by people who had already been accused of the same thing by the previous establishment.
My religion has no dogma, and therefore no one can violate its teachings.
Do I have a right to judge? No. But decrying the deliberate bombing of civilians, not to mention torture and genocide, as evil is not a judgement. It is a statement of fact.
I had many Muslim friends in college; I keep my copy of the Q'ran on the top of my bookshelf. I shall call no Muslim friend again until the Muslims start READING their Q'rans, insteading of using them as excuses to be offended, and get active in stomping out Hamas, Hezbollah, and every other sect of MUSLIM child-killers.

Answer 7

I am a Christian. I will tell you honestly that, in the name of Christianity, people have done horrible things to each other, or people of differing views.

While I don't believe that there is any hope of salvation except in the Cross of Calvary and the shedding of the blood of Jesus, God's only son, I don't think that, as Christian's, that gives us the right to attack, in any way, those who disagree with us.

Jesus gave us the example of presenting our case, and letting people decide. I don't know enough about other religions to tell you what Buddha, or Mohammed, or anyone else thinks. However, God makes it clear in the Bible that we are to 1) Love the Lord with all our heart and 2) Love our neighbors as ourselves. You can't do that and be violent to your neighbor at the same time.

I hope that helps.

Answer 8

The Bible says in Romans c3v10 " There is no one righteous , not even one ". That means all of mankind , irrespective of Faith , are sinful....Christians included. The difference being that while Christians walking in the light recognise their sin & take it to the foot of the cross for forgiveness those of other faiths still try to live by the Law & , like the rest of us , fail. Muslims who commit terrible crimes against others , whether their own people or people of other faiths , should stand condemned by fellow Muslims....Their quest for world domination as directed by their own teaching sees them on a collision course with the rest of mankind..
It is time for Muslim people to either correct these injustices they are forcing on the rest of the world or be prepared to see their faith exposed as the fraud it really is !

Answer 9

One faith would desire to purely be ideal for right this moment's era if each and every member of right this moment's era replace into alike. Having lived in diverse components of the U. S., Europe, and Asia, i will assert that's certainly no longer the case (and that i've got not even been to the a number of confusing-center center jap international places). human beings have been bobbing up with religions for hundreds of years. instead of attempting to return up with something which will in effective condition definitely everyone, possibly attempt looking something that suits you? there is probable already a faith obtainable which you would be able to desire to alter somewhat and characteristic that's what you're searching for. then you definately would desire to tell your pals approximately it, initiate a internet web site, and notice what happens.

Alright, here we go. Yes. No. No. No. No. No. No. Yes. Zero. No. No. No. No. You hear that from people that don't like Islam and muslims. Okay. No. We are free to worship how we choose and don't kill other people for choosing differently. No. No. No. I have been.
