Religion and Politics

Originally posted by uc SYZYGY uc Shaker for one your bitterness shows! and logic will never answer these 2 questions! *does GOD exist* and *what is GOD* logic should make any intelligent person want to find out though! its simple! try to reach GOD! you have a mouth so why not use it for something very important to you?

reaching God is not important at all to someone who doesn't believe

And people find their own answers as to their faith, from what I know german filosopher Nietzsche was regarded pretty intelligent, and he was no Christian

One of the things he said was
'A casual stroll through the asylum shows faith means nothing'

arguements? what arguements? i'll leave the argue'n to other people! i'll just state my own views and thats it.

@Droken, reaching GOD is even more important to non believers. wether they realise it or not.

Obedience without question! Some faiths refute any other way of life but their own. I can see that in accepting some of what other faiths say as the truth is rejecting your own faith. Faiths such as Christianity and Islam are in direct opposition. But to answer the question - I would hope that a true and just God would recognise that a child is innocently following the direction of his mentors/peers and be able to show mercy. But any God would not ask u to kill another human being in his name thats mans doing for his own corrupt purposes.   wow---> If u believe in such a God then u r not religious you're sadly mistaken!

If I write a story and one person tells it to another towards the East, the other takes it towards the West, what are the odds you'll have the same story through translations and generations? You'll pretty much have the same basics tho, hopefully Agreed. Shaker mentioned the story of Gilgamesh in a thread not long ago. It is ancient Babylonian text of a man who survives a flood that wipes out every living thing around him in a nutshell. Sounds familiar but Noah's tale is some 3'000 years later if I recall. Scientific findings also confirms a great flood happened around the time in Turkey? too! It would have wiped out what to most people would have been the known world at the time. Then we have Halleys comet and the slaying of the 1st born in the Holy land - both are known to have occurred. but didnt Moses write Genesis and not Noah? and thus why it appears late? im asking not stating

Apparently, there's nothing wrong with polygamy, at least in the old testament.  I've been reading the "good" book recently, in order to understand it and such.  King David had at least two wives (one of which was widowed).  He already two by the end of Samuel 1. (That's not counting the one his father-in-law, Saul, married off to another guy after he fled Saul, who was trying to kill David because he was jealous of him and the fact David was chosen to be king now/)

You're probably old enough to be everyone's grandfather on this site, yet you're still in here making pointless topics and tons of spelling errors. Learn to use the spell check feature or take your old a ss back to school. Never too late for that....

first off, why are you hiding under an alt? 2nd my age and gramer are your buisness why? 3rd your lame trolling is ameture at best!

No thanks, just a random question that no matter the outcome will always never set well with me!

Nope, I'm pretty sure these people are righties.  I had a feeling TX was talking about these people.  They seem to be/ have been one of Westboro's allies, so this doesn't surprise me.  If people want to exclude WBC from the Christian banner, then it's best to exclude these people to.  We should be the bigger men (and women) about this, not resort to burning their religious text.

As for the politics, yes.. the Dems are going down this November and probably in 2012, but just watch what happens in 2014, given the world's still going by then.  Given nothing happens in 2012, I see the Dems taking the Congress back in 2014, after the GOP doesn't do a good enough job. (I'm hoping it's not little or nothing though.  I honestly don't care who fixes/ starts to fix our problems, as long as they're fixing stuff.  I don't wish either party failure, though I'd love to see one of the main parties go out like that Whigs did in mid 1800's, so an Independent party could rise to power.)

Hell, it doesn't even have to be that.  I'd be okay if an Independent party/ independents in general seize 10 - 15% (if not more) of either the house or senate.

well sizzle they have a different account of the story in eden so we differ at the very beginning. and of course Jesus wasnt the son of God in their eyes.
