And didnt god used to be vengeful? If you didnt obey hos every word you would be deemed a blasphemer and go straight to hell. How you had super strict rules to follow or yet again, you would go to hell. What about the Angels of Death, Bartleby and Loki.;) God sent them to do mass destructions and things, or whatever. Where are the other Angels of death I ask you.:p

Now hes everyones buddy. You confess all your sins in a booth to a preist or preacher or reverend, and your sins are free. If you feel you lead a good life, your in.

Something seems different to me.... :p


Just my opinion and thoughts though.


EDIT: I just noticed we are only talking about the God called "God". Not about any of the middle eastern religions. Or anything like that.

Thats why i dont believe in God. Because it seems to be geographcal. Depending on where you live, your god could be a toga-wearing bearded man, or an 8 armed elephant.

Middel Eastern and Western religions actually share the same God. Islam calls him Allah, we call him God. Many of the same prophets are shared and I believe (I'm not sure) Jesus is even considered a prophet in Islam.

Yeah, Islam considers Jesus as a prophet.. Just not the son of God.

Yep, Jesus is the most quoted Prophet in the Quran.

The Seperation of church and state was an idea enforced my Jefferson and Madison, latter much more strongly. Indeed, until Madison's presidency, previous executives had declared National Days of Prayer.

That's the problem with separation of church and state. We are a country built on religious ideals by religious people and now we are trying to weed the religion out without disrupting the rest. In my personal opinion, it's not possible.

Agreed. In New York, there's a law that is in effect that says you can't buy alcohol before noon on a Sunday. A Catholic imposed law, it's one of the most hurtful laws to our local economies. Just think, it cuts liquor sales by about two percent.

It's predicted in the bible that governments will banish all religion. As soon as they touch the one and only true religion, God will stop them --> Armageddon --> Paradise. :)

Long time no see, whats up guys. I love religious discussions. They are always so full of life. It always seems, no matter what religion somebody is (and yes, atheist is a religion... I have my reasons for these belief) they have a strong opinion on it. And people are so easy offended if their religion is questioned.

My religion is LDS (mormon).
