Thread: Religion

All you guys blaming war on religion. Who was it that started the wars.....................people. You can't blame god or religion for the selfish and petty squabbles between people. God didn't come down here and tell them to go to war. In fact, the teachings are against such wars like the crusades. Blame the idiots that used religion for their own reasons.

Yeah it is true that people start and fight the wars, but do you really think that even though his people a slaughtering each other purely out of a misinterpretation, he STILL refuses to show himself or even give a sign that he exists?

Or even in the time of global warming, why have almost all the religions kept quiet? Why hasn't there been a miracle, or divine intervention?

God states not to test his power. He doesn't have to prove anything to us, that's the whole point of believing. Of course everyone is gonna believe in him if he starts making miracles happen left and right. The whole point of life is to test us to see if we choose to believe in him. Be a good person and enjoy life and if you can truly say you believe and worship him even though all this war and crap happens in life, that he didn't start to begin with, then you shall be rewarded in the next life. It's all a test, the outcome of this test is either heaven or hell.

I do agree with what you said deodaclan18 but its the people who use the name of God to start these wars. They always start wars in god's name. That's how religion is blamed because people can't come up with a better excuse to start a war so they have use God and religion as an excuse..

Or that's what I think.

The wars you are talking about havnt happen in 100's of years. Yes the ones in the middle east are fight us not becasue of god but becasue they think we will take there land. Religon war dont happen anymore goc. wars have been going on now.

To me the God we see will become a mith one day like the greek gods are now. It is just a way to fellow laws. To show yo uwaht you did wrong. See today god will forgive all i belive in gods teaching but i need prof that he is real.

Test us??So all the damm killing of our familes and friends is a test to see if we should go to heaven or hell??Live or die. It sounds to me but they just change it to heave or hell.Weapons don't kill people, people do themselves.And religion in many ways is the cause of war 80% of the times. In about every country.Their goverment is base on logic and in their belives.Which there forward affect their choice of what to do.I see the point in beliveinf in him.All I see is you good then good things happen to you.You don't have to belive in a god to go to a better in when you die because for all we care there just meant be just darkness waiting for us after life or maybe another life.We are reborn to a differnet world.No one knows because no one has ever came back from the dead.They said they saw a or the light and so.So if a person had a near death expiosne and said God told me to lead his people.How would we know if it is truth or not.

Give me proof before, I belive anything.People lay their lifes down for their belives.

I'm not really a religious person, more of a spiritual person. But at the same time, I do believe that there is a god. And maybe most of you are right, maybe there is one central god with many faces. But I believe when you die your energy gets transferred into something else (kinda like reincarnation). So when you die, who knows? You may come back as a tree. ^_^
