How can it be good if it cause strife between people? Not that I don't believe in God, but at the same time, what's the point in presbyterian, protestant, baptist, catholic, etc? I just don't see the almighty God or Allah actually wanting their people to kill in their names and be divided.

I am dumbfounded at the waywardness of todays christians. Most religions are apathetic in today. These days are the last days, end times, days.
Bible prophecies accurately predict matters regarding the times that lead up to the rapture of the church, yet most christians today have no idea what I am talking about, because these christians have become "sheeple" who sit in a pew and expect the guy at the altar to get it right. Well, folks, the guy at the altar has strayed. Now a days the guy at the altar is generally being taught at seminary school that some parts of the bible are to be interpreted literally, and some are to be interpreted as allegory. In particular, the Revelation. Well, its not true. The rapture of the church is going to happen at some time soon, and the bible tells christians to be looking up at this time in its anticipation. Sadly, many are not.
There is only one creator of this earth, and unless a religion acknowledges the God of the Bible, then it is a part of the false system of religions. I understand why those religions (or Allah) would want their followers to kill unbelievers of their religion.....
Because if a person kills, that person breaks a commandment of God, and if Allah can get a person to commit suicide in allahs name, he has committed an even greater crime in the eyes of the One True God. Its called self murder, and that is one of the two unforgivable sins of the bible.

Why do you think of of those as 3 completely separate entities? The alliance between faith, great corporation and conservative governance has been a historic certainty of checklist. those issues artwork at the same time to maintain potential interior the palms of a few and shelter a social order that reward the precious. there are cases in background the place those 3 potential bases have squared off with one yet another yet that's extra the exception than the guideline. part of the evil genius of the Nazis state replace into getting faith, great corporation and government at the same time on the comparable website. It replace into the perfect revolution of conservative ideology in international background. the main important possibility to our freedom is our very own apathy. as long as a results of fact the generally used guy or woman maintains to be at abode, avoids questioning authority and does not participate we can consistently be threaten by skill of the forces you suggested. If the generally used guy or woman participates en mass then each thing else could be dwarfed in assessment.

It's certainly up there. Just think of all the heartache organized religion has caused by fighting with itself. As often as not, it isn't even over who to worship, but how to worship the same god!
People already have enough differences in their lives naturally to overcome--skin color, nationality, language....it is a shame religious people have to insist on one more.
Hopefully one day soon the world will realize that we need to unite ourselves, not continue to divide.

Part of the difference is man being as a god (Gen. 3:5-6); and part being Jesus said one thing, but (many) mankind is doing something else (wrongly dividing the word of truth 2 Tim.2:15) presently (in USA).

Actually, I believe it's irrational thinking. This includes some religion, some forms of racism, sexism, and many other 'isms. However, the majority of people aren't capable of thinking logically.

I'd say that and the language barrier. Instead of turning water into a fruity beverage. . maybe jesus could have done away with all the languages. . .or maybe turned the deserts into farmland and do away with world hunger.
I think i'd be a better god than the biblical one

I think that falls into a bigger pot along with politics. It's all opinion of everything. People think they're opinion is right all the time and therefore, others are wrong. That, in itself, is a division. Sure religion is a part of it, but it really is a broader subject.

No, ego and arrogance is the reason we're all divided... when we look at each other as people first, with altruism and compassion, and treat them with the same... things are different.

salvation requires belief in Jesus as the son of God. Denominations are a matter of preference. there is still only one true and living God.
