Religion

You spelled alot of things wrong. God should be capitalized.

The Bible says thou shall not murder. If you read another place in the Bible, I'm not sure of the exact refrence, but I can find it if you want. He permits killing for war.

I was never aware of the Catholic Chruch saying this. You should watch the movie "Luther" it was a blockbuster hit, on the time when Martin Luther nailed the 95 thesis to the door of the Wittenburge church. To my depection of the movie, I would say its pritty Historically accurate.

People often don't push religion to death, It was mostly during the earlier centuries, with King and Queens of different religions, forcing them upon the people who they ruled.

No man tells you how to worship, that is a choice of your own.

The pope, believed by the Catholics, is a messanger sent by God, to enterprite the Bible, and Gods will.

Thats good, you believe what you want.

If your trying to brag, I'm only 15 and hold my own in many of these topics =/

Religion often insists that people do not just relaxe. "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel" is a quote recognized by almost of Christian churches, who often go out and rpeach the gospel. Are you offended by this reilgion because they follow what they are told?

 

So you admit the bible contradicts itself?

Just because you flame my quotes.
"There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages." - Richard Lederer, Anguished English

 

I never said that. God says thou shall not murder correct? I said He permits muder during war times. That is not contradictorary, that is expanding defining the rules.

How is this relevant? Not everyone believed in God during the Dark Ages.

 

No bragging just letting know that mistakes are made. Um i am pretty sure your religous seeing about how you talk. god is not a proper noun. though in some cases it is

 

Just once couldn't you say "ha, what a clever quote Jeb."

And as far as I'm concerned the church did rule in the dark ages, as it had the power to excommunicate the King himself.

 

God is the name of someone, therefore it should be capatilized, if you are refering to all gods in general, then it is not.

No, I often don't agree with quotes, they leave too much open for arguement.

Yes, but some points during the Dark Ages, the King ruled the Church, giving him the power to decide who was Pope.

 

It was like the chinese dynastys thpugh. The emporer can decide who his genrals are. But if they wanted that genearl could take the army and kill the emporor. As the pope can excomunicate the king even thoughg the king put him in power.

Lol i just remmbered. The pilgrims came to america right? Well THey came for religious freedom Right? Well they startedf there villages. In massachusetts (i think it was them but to lazy to google it) they bannished 2 people for speeking out against the religion. The pilgrims were religous hipocrits. THat is what religion is. A BUNCH OF HIPOCRITS UNDER ONE ROOF!


And ha, what a clever quote Jeb.

 

I like this guy... he's smart.

I myself don't consider Buddhism really a religon, more of a philosophy.

 

A philosophy that includes belief in the supernatural?

 

i see why your the mod

philosphy isnt supposed to do aything with the supernatural. If it did it would be religion

 

Actually, philosophy is conceptual analysis, or the logical analysis of concepts. It's not inherently supernatural, or natural. Since philosophy is not a particular belief system, and Buddhism is, Buddhism cannot be a philosophy.

 

gahh, gotta go all technical on me.

but yeah, I guess you are right. my bad there.

 

I'll say it again. There were times during the dark ages, where the Kings had more power then the Pope. At some points the King had tha ability to choose the Pope. There are other times where the Pope controlled the kings. The Pope would often threaten to ex-communicate the King, to get what He desired. There were only a few ex-communications of the King in History.

As for a General Being able to over throw a Emporer, I highly doubt this ever happened, unless the Emporer was a horrible leader anyways.

The pilgrims came to america, to seperate from the Church of England. CAn I see some proof of this happening. Even if there is any, These people came to the new world, for freedom of worship, as a religous community as a whole. If a few people are speaking out against your religous group, something that you just traveled half way around the world to escape, wouldn't you banish them to live in another colony?

How are the piligrims Hypocrits? Did they ever say, "If you speak against our religion, we will still accept you" ?

 

killing in the name of god lol
like killing somebody to prove that you have the better imaginary friend XD

 

Is this just random input of information? or should it of been quoted from someone?

 

i think most people need to believe in something, if they dont there would be too much uncertain things wich we dont have the answer, even atheist need to believe there are no god
the important part is respect, respect on other beliefs

 

We don't need to not believe, we just don't. It's not necessary to our survival.

 

Um have you never had a history class. The chineses dynastys. Eveery emporor was overthrown by there own genreals and commanders and in some cases family

 

the way you explained a general to take the army and over through the emporer, you made it seem as if it was a simply task to do, and that any time the general wanted to he could over through the King. It wasn't such a simple task as the you explained it to be.
