You could always start an ANTI-GOD thread or a GOD-HATERS thread and I'll stay away... Jeffrey, I must remind you that the the title of this thread is Religious Thread[x], not Christian thread. Discussions about all kind of religious and spiritual questions, and also comments to the different religious communities, are allowed here. And the disclaimer from the first post says: STANDARD DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect the views of the University of California, the SETI project (including but not limited to the SETI@home and BOINC programmers), its affiliates, or the SETI@home volunteers (including but not limited to forum members contributing processing power towards the SETI@home project). By posting in this thread you assume full responsibility for the content of your post and absolve the University of California, the SETI project, its affiliates, and the SETI@home volunteers (including but not limited to forum members) from any and all injuries including slander, defamation, libel, obscenity, indecency, and emotional or monetary damage. There will be no moderator in this thread. There is no official language in this thread. There is no obligation to post in this thread. There is no requirement to read any post in this thread except for posts which contain amendments to this disclaimer. ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: Religious preaching, proselytizing, or imposition of one poster's will upon another's/s' will not be tolerated. Trolling is disallowed in all forms. Offenses will be penalized as the posters find appropriate. (I was wrong, there are no moderators to this thread, so reporting posts as offensive won't do, unless you break the rules of posting obscene language or images or threats to others. My bad.) So, if you say that only people, who believes in God or accept the existence of a God, are allowed to post here, you are wrong. This thread is not yours or anybody's personal pulpit or rostrum to speak from. I must say that if you can't tolerate what you call "GOD-HATERS" to post here, my suggestion to you will be to stay out of this thread. Again, it's not your duty or obligation to read here let alone posting. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me

'Jeffrey, I must remind you that the the title of this thread is Religious Thread[x], not Christian thread. Discussions about all kind of religious and spiritual questions, and also comments to the different religious communities, are allowed here.' And yet after 6 threads of 300 posts full of nothing other than 'christian' and 'muslim' bashing, I have yet to learn a single thing about the so called many other religions... I think I have been more than tolerant on this issue... Feel free to teach me about those other religions... Or, you could try and learn a little bit about mine... Except for a few exceptions, my religious posts have been confined to the religious threads, unless of course, the need arises to defend my religion against attack in other threads as well. This could all change if I continue to get negative ratings and/or retaliation for posting religious material in the religious threads... What happened to having tolerance for ALL religions?

Disagreement is not "bashing", calling someone a racist is. There have been lots of posts here and in the other 5 threads about religious issues, for instance, many people here know I am a Baha‘i and I am very interested in other religions. But most of us have access to a Bible, and your quotes don't add much. If you want us to know about your religion, then tell us in your own words, they will have much more weight than some Bible-thumping cut-and-paste. ID: 245009 · |

[/quote] Will they know you are a Christian by your love?...Or will they see only your threats of retaliation? This is up to you...As you are seen here...So shall God be seen in the eyes of those you want to reach with his message...If they do not know God...But they do know you...Will knowing you make them want to know God?...Or will it drive them farther away from God?...The pharisees could quote chapter and verse...But that was too much and yet not enough...Can you do better?

'Bible-thumping cut-and-paste.' My, my, my! Aren't we thin-skinned . . . but I stand by my assessment. Now, you can focus on something that you consider to be a slap, or you can look again at some constructive criticism. [Edit]: I already have God in my life, but thanks for the offer. ID: 245022 · |

Psalms 1 ;) 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Baha‘i: adj : of or relating to Bahaism n : a teacher of or believer in Bahaism Bahaism: A religion founded in Iran in 1863; emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind; incorporates Christian and Islamic tenets; many adherents live in the United States; "Bahaism has no public rituals or sacraments and praying is done in private". tenet: A religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof. Now I've learned something... Baha‘i is the combination of Christian and Islam beliefs... Baha‘i proclaims the Bible and the Koran as being true without proof... Yet Baha‘i doesn't have to adhere to the teachings within the Bible and the Koran? I wish you all the best with that Tom... ;) ID: 245032 · |

Baha‘i: You are misreading the information you have quoted: of course a Baha‘i should adhere to the spiritual teachings of the Bible and Koran--there is no conflict there. But we also recognise the validity of other major religions, like Budhism and Hinduism, at least to the extent that they teach the same spiritual values. ID: 245037 · |

'of course a Baha‘i should adhere to the spiritual teachings of the Bible and Koran' If so, why the need for a new religion? [edit] The Bible acknowledges ALL other religions... The Koran acknowledges ALL other religions... Despite popular belief... Both condemn the believer from following such other religions... But neither tell the believer to go out and kill the followers of such other religions... So I ask again... Why the need for a new religion? Sounds kinda fishy to me... ;) ID: 245038 · |

Oh man, just when Jeffrey was becoming almost civil and actually discussing things, instead of throwing qoutes at us all of the time. All we need now is for someone to come along and toss the match. ID: 245106 · |

A very interesting program was broadcast on Radio 4 today about the cartoons published in Denmark. "Malcolm Brabant travels to Copenhagen to investigate the origins of the dispute over the Prophet Mohammed cartoons. On the surface it looks like a question of freedom of speech versus religious issues, but there are more complex elements on both sides of the argument. As Malcolm Brabant learns, the reaction from the Muslim community has been fuelled by anger about the way immigrants have been treated in Denmark for decades." ...was this all an al-Qaeda plot?

A very interesting program was broadcast on Radio 4 today about the cartoons published in Denmark. This goes back to the never ending arguement whether a host country must bend over backwards to accommodate immigrants, or whether the immigrants must assimilate or leave. Abu Laban was interviewed by Larry King here in the U.S. and I saw him lying through his teeth and making contradictary statements designed for the American audience. Oh well... Account frozen...

'...was this all an al-Qaeda plot?' Al-Qaeda does not represent Islam nor do they follow the teachings within the Bible or the Koran... You can't blame RELIGION for bad people doing bad things AGAINST the religious teachings they CLAIM to follow... If you disagree, feel free to post Bible or Koran quotes proving otherwise... ;) ID: 245211 · |
