Haha as a New Zealander I have only a vague understanding of american political policy though I do know that republicans are seen as very conservative and close minded perhaps someone should start a thread on political beliefs also?

Now I think everyone has put in valuable input on this topic. I appreciate everyone's opinion and have learned much.

Oh great...the endless discussion.

Well I myself can't stand religions over all.
Most of them lead to nothing good. So many wars are born solely on religions.
I think it's foolish to believe a book and flap your mouth about it when you don't have any proof.
Sure, many people live good lives based on the religious teachings, nothing wrong with that. But when people start to convert people and almost force them to believe, it's wrong.
Protesting and yelling "You can't mock my god!!" is wrong.
Everyone should be able to believe or not and dispute their religion and beliefs.

So no, I'm not religious nor am I Atheist. I don't count everything out nor do I belive in it all.
If there's one religion I would believe and live by, it would be Buddhism.​

The bible: Written by man, inspired by "God". And re-written a dozen times or more to produce the current version.

The theory of evolution: Written by man, inspired by "the truth" and "intelligence"

Amen.

Thats the problem with most CHRISTIANS these days. They think God only works for them and no one else. They create myths about this and that (Benny Hinn, sorry to Benny Hinn fans)and say it's by the power of God. This is the will of God - Crusades, Salem!

That's why, IMO, most people aren't happy with the way GOD is shown to them through his servants*

*You know what I mean right?

Some say the Church this, the Church that... Umm the Church shouldn't dictate which hand wipes the arse right? SOME PEOPLE THINK THATS HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO BE!

Well yeah...
Im a christain. Thts a great point man and tht is the problem some christains put them selfs above others, act like there better and thts going against wht the bible teaches. It says u should be the light to others and put them before urself. .
Good thread, i like how ppl are akshaly respecting wht others say

No religion religion is just a reason for man to start war over with each other and so it sickens me to be honest, but hey if you wanna believe in god or allah it`s your choice

I'm a Christian ...
and my opinion here is why the catholic's prayer always be scripted.?
did god say to them that they pray always like that.?
I'm saying that they can even change and tell to god what are they needed...
so even the world will destroy.. the prayer is always be repeated..
if I am they, I will ask the God to save me from suffering from my sins and be saved by Rapture... Always think about God...
I know the the world will destroy because it is written in Bible..
the Chapter of Revelations.. Try to read the whole chapter.. Thanks

It's not the religion or faith etc. That brings war

it's how we react or how we interpret things

you cannot judge religion because of it's people and

you cannot judge people because of their religion..

Believe what you want to believe

do what you wanted to do..

But don't blame it on the religions..

At the end of the day it's your choice!

Well I guess to be more specific, i belive IF their was a god that controls the actions in the universe, we definatly don't understand the way it works, not in the way religions put it at least.

: there is definetly a god and he does care. but helps some people ( some not all ) just prefer not 2 see or believe that.. and scientists are the most understanding when it comes to this..why? beacause they explore the world and they discover new things..how can those things be there when there's no1 who made it or created it.. and religion is there to show and prove it.. u just have to know which is the right 1.

: for me my religion tells me everything i need 2 know..i'm a muslim and everything i learned from my religion makes sense and i believe that it's true.. some people don't believe in islam...but if they just give a little of their time to learn it or what it's all about they will see what they have been missing~ and islam doesn't force any1 to choose it that's 1 of the beauty of it.. it gives every1 a chance to learn the truth.

@uzumakikenshin: you're not the one who choose...
thats true, because by the sins we made, we will be punished, the punishment of our sins on earth is to burned by the flames of hell and if we accept Jesus Christ as our God..
we will be saved after life.....

@siLent Rain: ummmm..

to me religion has become more about the whole believe me or you will burn or your soul will rot and decay for all time. me personally i do think there is a higher power. my proof is the whole big bag theory, scientists has determined that if thats how it happend the universe would have collapsed back in on itself, meaning we wouldent be here talking about religion. now dont get me wrong i do believe theres somthing out there and there should be a place were all good people get rewarded. the only thing i dont like about religion (mainly Christianity) is that everything seem to offend them. examples, i live in north california, they hold alot of anime conventions here, one of the biggest being a con called fanime it happens once a year, and outside were its held there are protesters saying were all going to hell for cosplaying. also harry potter books again lay off its just a book full of stories (hint hint). third and finaly, the way that most not all say being gay is evil. i may not be gay but i have tons of friends who are and especially dont like it when there told that following there hearts is evil. i may not have read the bible in a while but if i recall god make us in gods image and loves us all equally............need i say more. the last thing im going to mention is hell. i personally believe if religion is true that its not real. in the original testament the devil is only mentioned once and only once and there is no mention of hell. if i offended any1 with what i said im sorry but i was speaking from the heart. and isnt that what god tells us to do?

you misunderstand me at all dude... when i said that at the end of the day it's our choice, i mean what you have done is what you have decided to do so take the consequences and dont blame it on religions ( like religions started wars, etc).

and i'm a Christian.. I have faith in GOD.

Not sent to hell. Lets just say that those people aren't alive today.

Killing in the name of God? Last time I checked, that was an excuse for their hatred to kill.

christians don't do that.
Yeah they do.

The bible: Written by man, inspired by "God". And re-written a dozen times or more to produce the current version.

The theory of evolution: Written by man, inspired by "the truth" and "intelligence"
Amen.
You actually believe Charles Darwin is right? That's cool, but I don't like the idea that my ancestors were monkeys.

I can tell you that the reason The Bible is revised is because nitwits don't understand The King James Version. I can also tell you that there is truth in The Bible that Science has only recently caught up with. But yeah about the written word by* man inspired by God is right on the spot
EDIT:*

Im a seventh day adventist.

Ill help you out here with a good answer.

No one kills in the name of god because when jesus was being captured peter tried to fight off the guards in the garden of gesemeti and jesus told him to stand down. Then later peter denied jesus obviously but even jesus said no killing. So there is no killing in the name of god.

On the sinning part it is true that killing is a sin but in the bible it explains every sin is the same to god because only one sin seperates you from perfection. So stealing my pencil in class would be the same as killing me in class, its all a sin.
BTW the greatest missionarie ever (PAUL) who wrote most of the new testament use to kill christians before he was converted.
