    I was just thinking

    So why is it, every single religion, weither it be Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism or etc.

    Every single one of them, believes they are right, and that others are merely false? I'm not too educated on the topic of religions. But I'm pretty sure any God who was all loving and caring, wouldn't want his own people fighting over which religion he belongs to. It is pointless, instead of spreading their beliefs as one, they commit genocide for another persons belief.

    I mean, doesn't it seem a LITTLE backwards, that you curse to hell, condemn, kill, and the such, people JUST for their beliefs, which they are entitled to, just as you are entitled to your own beliefs?

    Why should one be looked upon as a terrorist by others, when there are people from that same faith, doing the exact same thing as the "Terrorists". Spreading fear and trying to rule with an Iron Fist. Pacifists? Or tyrants pushing an agenda with fear, and ignorance.

    Logic, Reason, Understanding.
    What has happened to these? Call others monkeys, infidels, ignorant, but when you look in the mirrior. Are you any better? You can lie to yourself saying you're going to be judged and make it past the gates, a million times. But does it get any more true? Or is it rather lying to yourself to try to kill your own insecurities?

    Re: I was just thinking

    WHY? It's human nature to both look for answers and gravitate toward what you already believe.

    Is it backward? Yes. It goes against everything I was taught about Jesus and forgiveness.

    But offering a broad opinion like that in here, you'll be considered a troll sadly. It's really hard to change anybody's mind on something so ingrained.

      There is only one True Religion, and it is called Christianity. All other religions are really just following the Devil.
      May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

        There is no proof that any one of those relgions are right. There is no proof that they are wrong.
        I just believe in christianity.
        Believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want.

          I know that, but would it not be more of a lesson if you looked even in what you didn't believe in? When one puts a bias on their learning, they look for what they like, and will merely ignore the rest.

          One should have an open mind if they truly want to be educated and find answers, I personally think.

          I know I will be considered a troll, but to be honest. I've seen that people do find it easier to just go "Eh, he's trolling" and leave, rather than actually have a changing of opinions and ideas to see things maybe for even the first time.

          I'm not here to stir up an argument as much as I am looking for answers.
          If thou shalt love thy neighbor, why condemn him for which God he worships?

            We would be doing a dis-service to humanity if we didn't warn them about their impending doom.

              But who is to say? The leaders of that same religion you follow? Just because your leaders, the ones you look up to. Say your path is right, and others are wrong, from a logical standpoint. Does it make it true? How did you define which is right, and which is wrong? Who is the Devil, and who is God?

              I'm curious on your opinion and beliefs.

              It is fine to believe what you wish, but does it mean that wars should be sparked because people worship the same man, with a different name?

                I never said I wanted wars to be made in the name of God.
                I don't think God would want silly wars over him.
                I don't think people should fight. But because we are human, there are bound to be wars.

                  If...... this forum was called "Open Religion Debate" and the motto was "Banter about all religions, All welcome." then you guys would be in the right place. This is a BAPTIST CHRISTIAN forum, based on the KJV 1611 Bible. We discuss the Bible and current events as they apply to us. We care little about joos or mooslims. Catlicks are of little concern, as are every other twisted variation. If you had the smarts to read some of the forum FAQs and stickies, you might know that.

                      Who says they're going to an impending doom? Who says that they're gonna go to heaven, or anybody? I see major differences between "warning about their impending doom" and oppressing them for their beliefs.

                      I never meant to imply you did, my apologies.

                      That is understandable and very true. It is in our own nature that we fight and kill for our own greed.

                        With all due respect sir, I feel almost as if you're trying to avoid the questions. Nobody is forcing you to, of course. But really, saying you care little about Jewish people, Muslim people and the sort, seems like a lie, considering the amount of topics relating to these people on these boards.

                            Because people like you refuse to listen, finally, a Pastor steps in, quotes scripture out the wazzoo, leaving the rest of us in utter amazment.
