I'm too much of a free thinker. I've read various books (old and new Testament along with the Book of Job. I think thats apart of the christian religion) and I've come to the fact that the Christian God seems...well...a little bit of a snobby 6 year old. Not to bash anyone who is christian I for one don't care really. But to me it seems as if if it don't go his way whatever it is gets the shaft. By the way, not all demons are evil.

Christianity doesn't teach bending to the will of God, it teaches repentance, and good relationships, both with God, and fellow man. Christianity is hard, not because of schedule turned habit, or complexe dietary laws, but because you must work against what some might call human nature.

You must not only come to accept your enemies, but love them. You certainly can't, despite history, smite them.

anyway,

I was going to go on, but if you wont accept it, you wont accept it, and it's certainly not my place to judge you.

The Catholic church has lost its meaning.....I grew up catholic and went to a catholic school just like Nogrick did, and as soon as I got to high school I found the Catholic church to be all messed up. At my church the priest would go out on the weekends and drink. All he cared about was money and how he could get ahead in life. He lost the whole meaning of beening Catholic or beening a Christian. You don't have to go to church to speak with god, he is always there. No matter what religion you are "your" god or gods with be there when you need them.......

Thats just my point of view. Very Happy

Indeed I won't accept it, but I will apologize to all those whom I offended. When I let my mind go into high gear about something, it usually presents quite good lines of reasoning to whatever the problem might be, and it did so just fine, I think. The trouble with this, however, is that while I let my mind spit out reasons for the problem, I am unable to actively think about how these spttings out might affect other people. So, again, I apologize. I still hold to my reasoning up there, but I apologize.

Religion as seen by Shuri:

"My god is stronger than yours!!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

Its not quite my god is stronger,
It’s more of
"My religions interpretation of god and his teachings are right"
"No ours is"
"No OURS is"

Then they proceed to carry out wars and atrocities in gods name, when they have completely hidden agendas behind their actions.

Because Islam catholic and Judaism all derive from the same god.

The problem with Israel is the dome of the roc, which is one of the holiest sites in Islam, all well and good. BUT it was built over the site of the holiest site in Judaism. So there is a reason there is a war over it, but like you said it still goes against the teachings of both religions.

Also a Jihad is a completely defensive holy war meant to be carried out in defense of Islam only
