    Should Society Ban The Abrahamic Religions And How?

    Ok so how about forcing the three religions to come up with a new religious book that everyone could use, with all the hatred and violence and indeed any type of prescribed harm being removed. Could that near-impossible step be the first? Bear in mind we are talking of saving countless lives...

    Should Society Ban The Abrahamic Religions And How?

    I agree with this, but so what. You can't ban the media and you can't prevent bad news making a disproportionately loud noise. The media is not the real problem. The real problem is that we value the freedom of being able to worship any way we like more than we value people's lives

    Should Society Ban The Abrahamic Religions And How?

    I agree, but the point is that for example Islamic extremism taints every Muslim with the same brush in the eyes of those who don't want to understand the differences and even the experts point to the presence of al-taaqiyah in the Koran as being evidence that even a moderate Muslim is not to be...

    Should Society Ban The Abrahamic Religions And How?

    So we are saying we can't ban it because of basic human rights etc. So if a world war was to come, worldwide with Christian Fundamentalist against Muslim, Muslim against Jew, Shia versus Sunni Iran versus Israel etc etc and millions were murdered, what do you think the terms of the peace might...

    Should Society Ban The Abrahamic Religions And How?

    IMO Given the harm they do, given all the trouble caused in the world by them they should be banned, but how? People have the right to believe what they will and worship as they see fit. These are human rights, but they turn people against people, spawn extremism and give their followers a false...

    EVERLASTING OLD COVENANT (Jew V Christian)

    God made everything universal in Genesis 9 when God blessed the whole of Humanity to be fruitful and multiply. Then there followed a coveting, followed by an uprising and ending with more lies IMO IMO God left this world to us (because God gave us freewill) back in Genesis 9 Gen 9:6 says it...

    I Know what the Fruit of Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil Really Is AT LAST!!t

    Because it is the Bible, certainly everything after Gen 9:19 that has caused the duality that represents humanity. It has split us asunder and caused bloodshed on a scale far in excess of anything else IMO It is this book that has planted the seed of judgement in all of us that read it ie This...

    One Of The Reasons I Find It Difficult To Take The Bible Seriously

    OP..You have taken the first step when you cannot take the words seriously. not of of them at least The second step, IMO is to return to the siMple and start reading from the very beginning all the words, like a child. Throw out all the ones that make you hate, make you mad, make you jealous...
