Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Religions of the world: numbers of adherents; growth rates

Oh, and hey, there are billions that don't believe in God at all. Guess that makes it right, too?
I don't think there are "billions" that don't believe in any God though. We might have different concepts of "him". But belief in no higher power at all is relatively rare.

I have 2 Rotties. Great Dogs. Though one is still a pup, and is a real pain in the ass. I would never own a doberman, very dumb dogs. Seriously, you have me confused with someone else.

Again, I meant the Christian God, Jehovah, or Allah.

The number of people who believe in something is irrelevant on whether it is truth or not. Each person must seek out their own truth. That is what I was getting at.

Just because billions of people believe something, doesn't mean it's true. Shit, there are millions of Americans that STILL think Saddam had something to do with 9/11. Doesn't make it so.

It continues to boggle my mind that people go on and on about what Paul said, but completely ignore what Jesus said.

No where does it say Paul had a vision of Jesus. It says Jesus striaght knocked him on his ass infront of wittnesses. Are you really trying to say that the women who killed her kids had the same vision as Paul? Who did Jesus command Paul to kill? Is it hard to kick against the pricks? Jesus said "Iam the first and the last, the begining and end of all things."

Of course I know that. It doesnt mean that Jesus and Paul didnt meet. Jesus came striaght outta the clouds and introduced himself. Where did you get the idea that I didnt know Jesus had already been crusified when they met? At no time did I imply such a thing.

Isn't there a rule in the forums, about creating posts to flood a thread with? Everything 'Gracie' just posted, could have been put into one post...But nooooo. Gracie wants to show she's a flood troll instead.

Acually there is a limit on the number of spaces you can put in one post. So I just made each point seperate. But what ever, get me banned, I dont care. This place is pretty slow without different view points though.
