witout god why would our soldiers fight?

[shadowman]

that one is quite interesting.

dont forget

why would ANY soldiers fight, not just the christian ones.



i still thik religion helps society control

and society has developed a mind just like the peoples ideas that formed it


and guess
what

its obvious that societies want to be the best!

just look at history, expansion, and imperialism and wars!

god is indeed mysterious

survival.

[shadowman]

excuse me?

how does survival make me want to go fight for an idea such as society?

if arabs were not crazy freaking muslims, i bet we wouldnt have to worry about them hurting us.

man is given to rebellion and violence and greed. without god there is no resistance to it. but when rebellion and violence and greed rears its head, the reaction to it is survival.

Namaste Shadowman,

I'm sure you mean this in the most Christian, most loving way. All those living on the Arabian Penninsula are not Muslm, and all Muslims are not Arab. And while the crazy freakiing types of ALL religions make headlines, the majority are not.

Contemplate what love thy neigbor means. Contemplate that Allah is simply Arabic for G-d, the same G-d a Christian would worship, just a name in a different language.

I really have very little tolerance for intolerance. Am quite judgmental about racism and generalizations. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explore my issues.

i was being facetious

im not christian

i follow christ as i sight him

i do not make god out of him any more than i make god out of myself.



and i think muslims are as crazy as christians. the less crazy ones just dont get it. just like the cristians over here,

moderates dont get it

How many confuse God or religion with personal ego ?

Why not? Now surely you wouldn't use any examples by people that interpret the Koran for violent reasons any more than you'd use KKK understandings of biblical scripture...

No really I do not put any weight in the followers.
Just the simple fact that the Allah in the Koran is not the same God in the Bible.
