I know. Thats my point. Without offending anyone, Maper or anyone else. I believe all this faiths are based off of one another and i don 't believe any of them exist. This is how the faiths balance.
The Western world are mainly christians and jews and eastern world is mainly islam and jews. Strange that they are all in certain areas.

I know it's a bit later in the thread than it aught to be, but I have no religious inclination. If there is a God, which I personally sincerely doubt, I'd have a lot of questions to ask him (eg. why, if he loves us so very much why he puts us through this shit we call life, and why wars happen etc.).


Also like too know CJ, Religion is the biggest, most common, cause or war.

I don't think thats a proper reason for war. Most wars are due to religion or greed or disagreements, not free will.

The only think that causes war is disagreements and greed. And this free will that everyone has... you are more limited by yourself. Yes im talking about the concience. To me is gods way of directing our lives.

[SARCASM]What, historically, has caused more disagreements than any other subject, I wonder?[/SARCASM]
Wars Because of Religion (just a few I can be arsed to name right now, because I know them offhand):

Crusades
WW2
Northern Ireland
When Britain broke from the Pope for the C-of-E
(To a certain extent, Iraq and Afghanistan had a religious entanglement)

My case, sirs and madams, is rested.

Now, y'see there are TWO things there that put me off being religious.

1) God is supposed to love us and cherich us, right? Now if that's the case, why does he have us chop eachother up, blow each other's brains out or lob nukes at each other? If he loved us that much, IMHO, no crap like that would happen.

2) Why would we fight over what name to call the Almighty? Surely if he loves us all equally, and creates all equal, why can't we all get along.

Plus, it raises a SERIOUS :o Question:

It's written:

"And God createth Man in His own image"

Well what does that say about God, might I enquire?

Ever heard of the devil? He is the root of all evil. The answer to your questions comes from Genesis. The devil changed shape to a snake and tricked Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. When they ate the fruit all the evils of the world. And God does love all. Even you. You see the devil causes man to fight and kill each other. I know you wont listen but maybe this will give you some insight. :|

It never came up in our conversations :roll:

This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Andre 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

You believe that? You believe in Adam and Eve? I don't. Thats the biggest crap in the bible. I mean scientists even have proof that the big bang is the more likely thing that happened. Due to all the radiation in space.

'I am god. You ate fruit off of the forbidden tree, i will kick u out of my garden'

Any idea why eden hasn't been discovered? Or why the dinosaurs were now mentioned in the bible?

Just some evidence, IMO
