one more thing we miss here. Israel kill Palestinian not because of religious but land. everyone need power.


Added on December 27, 2009, 4:53 pmIsrael is race btw. Jews is religion. There are a few Israel people in Palestine are muslim (islam). take that in the first place. we dont need to be kafir/judas/budha/hindu to be in hell. muslim also go together with kafir if they dont follow the (Al-Quran)

Israel is the so-called country that was once Palestine but have been given to Jewish people who fled out.
Jews is a religion, their religion is called Judaism

Israel ppl doesnt necessarily mean Judaism ppl only, there are Christian Jews and Muslim Jews...But they were originally Palestinians

Study first before make incorrect statements.

Something for you guys to ponder.

Who is satan, Who is god?
Are you sure you are praying to GOD or SATAN?
Humans are killing humans in the name of God? Isnt that Satan's teaching?


Don't you feel weird when you tell other people (not from your religion) that only your religion can go to heaven while other's will go to hell. Are you sure the hell/heaven you are talking about is the same hell/heaven?

Me, personally very sceptical about God. But, yet there's so many miracle and strange (very strange) thing happen in the world that we cant ignore that god exist.

Believing God gives human the motivation and creativity to create/invent/evolve into something that no other species in earth are capable to be.

On the other hand, In the name of God. The hatred, wars and bloodshed that it's bring are unimagineable.

Who are you? Are you that qualified to determine who is Satan who is God?

Are you sure we don't?

There are a bunch more killings made NOT in the name of God! Does it fits morality?
You personally are skeptical of His existence, yet you can't ignore that God exists?

Motivation can come from various aspects such as wealth, power, opposite sex, status and so on. Why is it you highlight only motivation in God?

Good questions. Those are the questions I hope believers ask themselves before trying to convert anyone.

However, I would like to comment that those things that are currently unexplainable might one day be explained. Just because there are currently no explanations to them does not mean they are "miracles". There are no evidence that can support a "miracle" (at least I don't think so. The Catholic Church thinks there are), but reasoning is almost always supported by evidence.

Additionally, believing in god does not "motivate humans to evolve." Evolution of any species has no direction. No matter how hard you try to fly, you won't be able to. However, if you are talking about inventing and using tools, then motivation can do that, but I will still argue that one does not need god as their motivation to do so. Survival itself is a strong enough motivation.

Did you look up the meaning of the word miracle in the first place? brows.gif

Erm no. There is more to what constitutes religion than JUST morality. Duh.

PS: Don't bother asking me to prove it. If you're interested, you can easily google to find out more about each religion online. Good luck with the reading though, lol.

Morality defers from one place to another....Why not you run nude? It is acceptable right in some parts of this world and there is an event for that...

Don't try to convince people that Morality and Religion is the same thing...which is certainly not. doh.gif


p/s; this kinda thread is actually nothing more than a mirror of the current thread at RWI
