Your friend sounds very much like the typical strong believer. I my self find it very difficult to understand why anyone invest so much time and energy to convince others that the path they have chosen is the righteous one. Most people like your friend will usually dismiss you as a friend...
In basic terms Hell is for bad doers and Heaven :angel2: for good. If you are a bad doer wouldnt Hell be just a place for you? Youd only be following your new masters direction, the Satins directions - so why believe that he will burn you for eternity? If Satan despises God, wouldnt...
Ok, I understand it from your point of view but than with that logic wouldn't you even say that in terms of faith and religion they have lost it, or at least comprehending it the wrong way? I mean, after all I think all religion have a room for "God forgive them for they not know"... Plus its...
An act is barbaric only in extend of pain it inflict on subject that the act is being perpetrated on. When you burn a book, WHICH EVER HOLY BOOK that is so very dear to someone, especially to an extreme believer/s – then it is barbaric. Remember, pain and suffering does not translate to...
They don't have the same problems but have problems of their own... US isn't just Christian, it's built on many different cultural and religious backgrounds.
In any case, most middle eastern countries are the way they are because of being stuck in time. I remember reading of Christians...
I doubt that any religions is "compatible" with democracy. Islam is as far from Democracy as Christianity is. But then lets not forget the fact the the country that has democracy labeled as its strong point has pretty strong element of Muslims with in it. How ironic, your racist card didn't work.

To original poster, you obviously have a strong believe that God does exist. With people that have such concrete believe for God arguments like these are pointless.
Sure we can both play the game of “well what makes you right and me wrong” but you are missing the vital point...
I'm anti religious. Religion of any form clouds ones true self. One should not need anyones else ideas or believes to find purpose for their own existence. But I guess insecurity goes long war.
Most people on this world will tend to set truth by leaning on religion based on what makes them feel content and at ease with reality.

Put it this way . Say Im a very powerful being, not like god but someone for sure not to mess...
I havent read anything in its fullest but have spoken with few that have. This is in respect to Christianity (Catholic) and Islam. Havent had chances to speak with someone with Asian religions knowledge or Hindu but I do plan to if opportunity presents its self.

With all due respect I havent been hearing anything; ever otherwise we would have not been discussing this.
People are in constant debate over whose book has most true words in it, which is a problem that could be easily fixed if God would just have it as I mentioned. Matter of fact...
