    Tsunami predicted for 1st April 2007

    I’m sorry, but that's just a bit of nonsense. If we were at all created by a loving god, who loved us so greatly, that in fact he gave his son to us, who we crucified, I find it a little absurd that he would do this only to come back in "x" years and then destroy this world and it's inhabitants...

    Does Religion Promote Happiness?

    I do not believe so. There are a great number of things that can and do make us "happy". However, religion calls for a large number of things that does not relate at all to a sense of happiness. The guidelines set forth by the bible are not meant for us to live a happy life, but more so a...

    Muhammad's Quran challenged by Arielmessenger

    I do not believe that the Islamic religion is facing any sort of decline; believers, structure or otherwise. One could come to a general conclusion however, that much of what the holy books say in general is not relevant to today's beliefs in society. And rightfully so! Perhaps one day your...

    Islam - Woman is only worth 1/2 of a man?

    Well said Snowbear, as for you question, I wish I was able to answer it. :clap

    jesus was a magician!

    Just like to point out one thing (in case you didn't catch it), if we are the children of god, then therefore, the children of ours is also children of god, and if he allows us to abandon them, he in turn abandons as well..... (Hopefully I wrote that right! :) ) Ok, enough said, - I will spend...

    jesus was a magician!

    Super Universe, Yes, your right, humans are to blame, but then, what is god responsible for? Are we not the children of god? So if we were to abandon the children (as you say), and god allows that, then by some inference, can it be said that god can abandon us? I mean if god were to let humans...

    Islam - Woman is only worth 1/2 of a man?

    If you look a bit past the religion to even the first days of man, women were not a major part of history in terms of events, I believe that at the time in which the Quran was written, this mindset was still true. As in the bible, slavery was accepted, these are just aspects of the religion as...

    jesus was a magician!

    Sadly, as hard as I try to believe what you so whole-heartedly express, I fail to answer the question; If GOD is capable of everything, then, why, do young innocent children around this majestic world suffer and face hunger on a daily basis, why is it that hatred between the worlds religions...

    Would you sacrifice yourself for God?

    I believe that the concept of sacrifice shouldn't come into question, if a god does exist, and we are a part of him/her/it, the idea of sacrifice should not come into play. After all, being a father, I would NOT require my son to "sacrifice" himself to attain any level of acceptence from me or...

    10,000 Christian Clergy can't be wrong....

    In today's world, the 10,000 clergy will undoubtedly have to work much harder to suppress the teachings of such topics in school. However, this leads me to another thought, in the early days of the Vatican, I wonder what other issues were suppressed to substantiate and prolong the religion...

    Do we need God?

    From the quaint and perhaps expected responses to this question that are already posted, I find it fitting to add mine to the mix. (I suspect some will partly agree, and many will completely disagree) The fact of the matter is, there is but no logical and actual proof of the existence of god...

    The Bible doesn't make sense. Clue me in.

    Great Questions Faint, and I’ll admit you have had some intriguing responses to your post as well. With that said, allow me to express my feeling on the topic. The fact is, you along with a great number of us have questions about the teachings of the bible or perhaps the religion, or even...

    Was Jesus' death suicide?

    Was Jesus' death suicide?

    I believe that a death of a human in any aspects is wrong, regardless of the fact that his ten commandments say's it's wrong also, whether it was to fulfill scripture, or to make a point, he let man crucify him. If you think about it, how can the sins of man be cleansed, by committing a sin to...

    Real Dialogue?

    I'll agree with you on that, time is definitely being lost, so I ask you, why can't we "join hands?" what's stopping us from sitting at a table and talking things out? It is our theological differences, our “great wall” that must first be broken, in order to proceed.

    Real Dialogue?

    Her intentions may be admirable, and well worth attempting, but I’d hate to burst her proverbial bubble in that, in the end, it will prove useless. An inter-faith dialogue in this case, IMHO, would lead to a few head nods and nothing more. I'd assume that her main goal is to capture some middle...

    Where Bin Laden Comes From

    Your post was well thought out and a good read. However, I believe we are already at that point in some respects now... these Islamic extremists have been able to spread their message quite well. And, as a result, I believe, we may not face a hundred Bin Laden's, but, 10,000 people who blindly...

    Should abortions require partner consent?

    Women are definitely affected by this more so then men, however, I would have to say that the choice must come down to the circumstance in which the child was conceived. Let me explain that a little.... if say, a woman was to be raped, and a pregnancy was to result, obviously, the women...

    Bilingual/Non-english-speaking Americans

    hEY ORMISTON, after reading your post, I decided to put myself in their shoes, only as a means to understand where they are coming from. I too, have spoken to other people of older generations who have disliked the ideas of change on a number of topics. I believe that their statement can be...

    Christianity to Islam? A post in the wrong place(Warning, long post).

    Please, don’t be so narrow-minded and assume that demonic forces are tearing people away from the religion.... perhaps common sense? Perhaps logical deduction? And even, perhaps, insight into a more personal religion? Whatever the reason, please don’t just resort to demonic...
