My question is who's the better religion then?

[unsay_ngalan_nimo]

wasnt Zoroastrianism considered one of the oldest reg? which was practiced by the oldest civilization in Mesopotamia...di ba?

yup... sila ang mga first monotheists.. and influenced abrahamic religions like islam and Christianity and judaism...

[unsay_ngalan_nimo]

maybe some christian forgot the golden rule: We cant judge others because only GOD have that right...

We are bound by our faith to follows some rules like no to homosexuality, no to promiscuity and other no-no...

but just because we think we are right does not mean we have the right to judge others that they will burn to hell for their sins...



im a christian.. im pro-choice, i have gay friends and muslim friends...

and my philosophy in life is: only GOD have the right to judge people.. and my favorite story in the bible is the story of the Good SAmaritan...

there are too many Christians in this world but i think only a handful of them are true christians...

do you think when you die God will ask what religion you are in?

[unsay_ngalan_nimo]

your bible is the inspiration of the anti-gay movement.

hate the sin love the sinner...

Kabalo ka unsa ni? This is Pascal's wager. Logical Fallacy na bai.


I find it funny. The "Christians" who do these acts (Kill in the name of God, bomb abortion clinics, etc.) are doing these acts convinced that they are doing the right thing. A lot of them are even encouraged to do so by their pastors (e.g. Pastors praying for Obama's death, pastors advocating death to heretics and witches, and yes, pastors who support acts of the nature in the original post). How can you say that these people were wrong? Their faith certainly wasnt lacking.

Mu ingun lang dayun ning mga cristiano dire nga: "Dili man na sila true Christians" LOL!!!!

Hugas lagi dayun sa kamot.

If ingana wala na mabilin nga cristyano sa kalibutan.

Open your eyes! Believe in a religion or not, dont sweep these things under the rug.

if they were true Christians they will not do that... maybe you are right wala na gyud tingali kristiyano diri sa kalibutan... gikuha na tanan ni GOd...

i believe in a GOd but not in a religion.. i have my faith... but im still my own person...

tsk..tsk...
tsk tsk?
Why for telling the truth truth?



only fools refuse to see the similarities of the atrocities committed by both Religion. If you want to take side, take the road of appeasement.
Road of appeasement? I will not tell a Muslim to convert or die, nor will I try to convert him by force. I will not wish him harm, and try to live in peace with him as my neighbor. If he bows my head and put his blade to my neck, then I will appease him and my God. He can have my head. I will not convert or desert my Christ. I will outlive my executioner.

I choose to take the narrow path. I do not need to apologize for following the Christ. I do not need to apologize for the actions of others. I can only be responsible for my own actions. I only need to apologize if my actions are wrong. I have read the Bible and Qur'an and have made the right choice. The only appeasement in Islam is to submit to their will, Convert or Die. That is the truth you choose to either deny or hide Malic. I have told the truth by the standards set forth in both the Bible and Qur'an.

Yes, it is why evil men have done horrible deeds by the misuse of the Golden Rule. There is a big difference between trying to help a sinner and passing judgment on that person.

We are bound by our faith to follows some rules like no to homosexuality, no to promiscuity and other no-no...
Yes but we are not instructed to wish harm on them.

but just because we think we are right does not mean we have the right to judge others that they will burn to hell for their sins...

You can tell a person what is written in scripture, and try to save them without passing judgments on them.

As a Christian you should always strive to live in peace with your neighbors.

and my philosophy in life is: only GOD have the right to judge people.. and my favorite story in the bible is the story of the Good SAmaritan...
You can not pass judgment even on those judging you.

there are too many Christians in this world but i think only a handful of them are true christians...
Very true, and that is what so many members on this forum do not understand. A true Christian would not commit such evil acts, nor would they ask others to do evil acts.

True Christians follow the teachings of Christ, not church dogmas. A Christian is still a human being, we are only people nothing more and nothing less. Do not ask something from a person that you are unwilling to do your self. You have to live your live by Christ's teachings to be a Christian. Few can do it. Every man falls short of the Grace of God everyday. We are all flawed beings.

hate the sin love the sinner...

That is the key. You tell a person about sin and salvation because you hate the sin. You are suppose to love the sinner more than yourself. You can judge if an action is a sin by testing it with scripture. The sinner you do not have the right to pass judgments.

You get it, excellent post
