Thanks to Gadjo_dilo for his explanation of what his religion means to him. I suspect this is quite an accurate understanding for many 'Cristian's' and quite a few people that consider themselves...

Just a little confused here mate.

you believe in a God but not a Religion? Is that correct?

If not, what religion do you believe in and why can you cherry pick what bits apply to you and what...

Eki, you have issues mate. Serious issues.

So, after 244 posts, has anyone modified their opinions at all and why?

Non-believers (or realists as I like to call us) cannot understand why people are so gullible to believe there is some...

I thnk that between God and Donkey, I think there's more chance of Donkey being real and that's a bit of a worry ;)

I feel a poll coming on :D

I think Uncle Fousto is Hank Williams. :laugh:

The 10 commandments are a fascinating point of this subject. To say they are a foible in the Christin faith is an understatement in the extreme.

Jihad is a religious calling and more than that, a religious duty. It could be based on a Fatwa or ruling which is a decree based on religious grounds.Do we accept and condone religious wars based on...

This is a fundamental difference that I hope we can discuss further.

My decisions are based on many things just as yours are. My upbringing, my family, experiences I have had whether good or bad....

You're right Ben. In America, you're weird and unelectable if you're not religious. In the UK, the opposite is true.

Cheers mate.

As for whether Jesus was peaceful, it matters little if the people that choose to follow Christianity adopt the "good" parts of the bible's teachings. What has or should have been is...

Totally agree. We can choose to 'believe' parts of the Bible that reflect our individual beliefs, morals and convictions while ignoring those passages that contradict our principles. It's human...

What record do we have that Jesus was peaceful? The Bible was written 300 years later by a collection of Religious leaders and influencer's headed by Damascus. The rise of Damascus himself is...

Not too sure about that one but best to let it ride for the sake of the thread ;)

At least Apple's useful :D

Religion and Apple. All we need is guns on the thread for the perfect forum storm :D

That's if you believe there is only one God.

For example, a fundemental difference between Muslim and Christian faiths is that of Jesus being the Son of God or just another Prophet. If Jesus is...

If there is a God, what faith or denomination do you think is his. Is he a Christian, Jew, Pagan, Hindi, Islamist, Shintoist etc. He can't be all of them and according to their teachings, some are...

Using that Logic, I'm going to enrol in Hogwarts :D

Shhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I've got cold toes :(

Pardon me for being cynical. 10 years experience on here but if this thread goes off without a bun fight, I might become a Beliver :laugh:




And doesn't he know it. As far as he's concerned,...

Anyway, in answer to your question, of course there's a Dog.
