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?

He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. "
(Book of Matthew 12:30-32)

It truly is a ghastly set of tyrannical dogmas to consider an unforgivable sin, let alone one that is essentially dissent against a ruthless tyrant (God). It is especially ghastly to think that, in an expression of Christian doctrine (not a perversion), people like me (infidels) should be put to death, as in some way they are committing a sin greater than murder. As if that were not enough, infidels have no ability to redeem themselves; one small mental doubt in one's mind about the existence of the holy spirit is a ticket straight to hell and eternal suffering; it is unforgivable.

And to think Christians say their dogma isn't 'forced' onto others.
What anyone has done against God, wether unforgivable or not, is no concern to man. Christians dont think those who may have comitted such a sin should be put to death. Where did you come up with that? No one would have even known such a sin was commited other than God, who judges the heart.

Christian doctrine CANT be forced on to anyone, how do you see it as that?

Don't call it a temple. Temples always seem to get destroyed in the stories of the Bible.

The bible says our bodies are temples, and will return to the dust of the earth. Nothing is new under the sun.

I used to be a Deacon in my church (really). However, if I had friends coming over for a Giants game, I doubt I would consider it a religious event.

Actually, I can't really argue with that one or even make a joke. I would ammend it slightly and say we return to star dust.
