WAR.......95% of wars boil down to religion.

Yes there have been many problems related to religion. However, the fault lies in the people rather than the religion. Human beings are easily corrupted though thoughts of power and reverence and indeed in many instances they abuse thier given power. i believe that alot of the problems with religions come from misunderstandings on a human level, e.g. no, my god is the only god and so on.

I think that the closer one is to there god the more they understand that there are no fundemental differences between the religions, the difference lies in the people who say they are close to god but in actual fact are not even slighlty close.

I hope that makes some sence

i believe god probably doesnt exist but the bible is a rule book we should follow. in the last 100 or so years many of the lessons have been lost. evolution and stuff like that have been disproven but back then that was the only thing they could think of for creation. the whole sex and marriage thing has changed with contraception but i still believe people shouldnt have kids till theyre marriage.

people do often get religious about war and death cos no-one wants to believe thats the end of it all. thats why theres religious fanatics who blow themselves up because they are convinced god will be pleased with them. IMO anyway

just a quick note: catholics, jews and muslims all believe in the same god


a lot of people dont realise that

probably is the right work to use, because even if there were a god (i don't like the term god but it serves a purpose) he/she would not be shouting it around for everyone to hear, people should make thier own conclusions from thier own experience.

just have to add that i think marriage before marriage should be tried at least and that you shouldnt hurry to have sex

or something like that anyway

laws made by humans not by god

[Busyman]

I am a convert from Islam to Christian (nondenomination).

I&#39;ve looked at many religions

Shintoism+
Confucianism+
Islam
Catholism=
Nation Of Islam*
Many denominations of Christian
Jehovah&#39;s Witness=
Mormon*=
White Christian Soldiers*=
Buddhism+
Judaism*

I eliminated a number of them for having flat out racist beliefs.*
Others for having weird rules taught by the parishoners by not supported by the books they are supposedly following.=
Some were just a little light on religion and just somewhat rules to live by (with no real connection to GOD.+

rules to live by (with no real connection to GOD.+

like i said in my earlier post

the closer one is to thier god the better they understand it

Buddhism is a way of getting closer to god, only the method differs, they try to achieve the highest level of consiousness (enlightenment). Trying to become god is unobtainable but trying to become Buddha is an achievable aim for a human in a lifetime. Once at this level they say there is a realisation of oneness. In essence you realise there is no difference between you and god.

I&#39;ve looked at many religions

From what perspective have you looked, your own which might not be the same as some peoples.
