ISIS would agree there shouldn't be Christians on RallyPoint. Is it right to strike one religion for the sins of another?

ISIS is a group of psychopaths hiding under the banner of religion. Anyone who kills for religion is not truly religious - they're just looking to justify their behavior. These so-called muslims kill other muslims randomly.

The problem isn't religion in and of itself. The problem is the evangelicals and the fundamentalists. You believe in God, great, more power to you. But if you put your foot on my neck in order to "convert" me, regardless of what you claim to be your god, we got issues.
Wear your cross, carry your cross, I don't care. I just don't want to hear about about how you were saved again today.

I am 100% Christian, but if you really thought about things, Religion is a big root of a lot of problems. I wish people would take the bible as for what it says and not read too much into things.

People read too much in the Koran (which is written by the devil himself, I believe) and you have ISIS when such things do occur.

NO I AM NOT COMPARING A LOVING GOD & JESUS TO SOMEONE LIKE ALLAH AND THE PEDOPHILE (I meant Prophet) Muhammad.

MAJ (Join to see). What scares me has less to do with rather discrete nonthreating practice of cultural and religious traditions . . . but rather more to do with the broad exercise of formal government or broader social authority to sanction discrimination in the name of the "religious freedom law" to discriminate against anyone else who may not share your personal religious belief system.

Do you really believe purportedly christian conservative state government "religious freedom law" movement that claims to authorize discrimination against LGBT people is really going to stop with these groups which in the absence of federal and state legal protection have been historically discriminated against and targeted for assassination in our own country ( google LGBT stonewall killings ) . . . or do you see beyond immediate public relations smoke screen into the future where christian conservatives require the painting of religious identifying logos on personal residences and businesses and the wearing of religious identifying logos on both adults and childrens clothes . . . to facilitate religious discrimination . . . and return to nation state facilitated genocide . . . ghettos, dispossession, rounding up, transport, concentration, labor, and liquidation camps?

Let us not forget five million other people tortured and murdered by the Nazis including homosexuals, priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, political adversaries, etc . . .

I'm deeply concerned about return of religious / racial / behavioral intolerance / discrimination in our country.

Warmest Regards, Sandy

people are always the problem.

Ah nothing gets a good Rally Point discussion going as religion. Might as well toss my hat in the ring.

Here is my belief. Religion in itself is not bad. Its when people use religion against other people that it no longer becomes religion but a control mechanism to gain.

There are countless examples through History how religion has been used as a tool to control people, populations, and nations. Not one religion is free from this either as all have been used in one way or another to harm, hurt, take over and or control humans.

But in the same instance all religions have been used as a sign of hope, a way of healing, a support of faith in humanity. It is what ever it needs to be for people who use it for good or evil.

I believe in God. Do i understand God, no. Do I think anyone can understand God, no. Why? Because human beings do not have the capacity to think in anywhere the same level as God, or a being you may wish to represent a divine figure.

If God is the Alpha and Omega, as stated in the bible, that mean all things are one to him. He is the beginning and the end of time. So "TIME" exists to God all at once. Now as a human, comprehend that...

Take everything you can remember, Everything you know and everything you think you are going to learn and Jam that into a new born babies head at once. That is a lot of info. Now multiply that by 7 Billion (number of People on earth about now may be off by a billion). That is a lot more info. Then Multiply that by about 10 Billion (thats an estimate of the amount of people that have come and gone since we shall say 1AD). Oh and lets toss in another 50 billion as that is how many more humans will inhabit the earth for the next 500 years. And boom.. all in a newborn baby.. all those memory's all at once. And by the way.. that is just memories, I am not talking emotions, dreams, realities or anything else.

Still comprehend??

Yes that is what I believe. God is everything, everywhere and all things.

Religion is the human way to understand God.

Humans can not understand God.

This is just my belief. No proof exists but its my rational thought on God and religion.

My thought is why do you care so much if you don't believe? I think that prayers shouldn't be religion specific at military events but more generalized. And atheist chaplains don't make sense it's like a contradictory statement. But back to my original point stop trying to infringe on the rights of people. It doesn't make sense especially when we are the people who fight to allow these rights to be practiced but we want to try and diminish those rights? I don't understand. If you don't believe than that's fine but don't hinder other people's right to believe.

I'm glad you posted this, and forgive me for giving titles, however people from the loony left will always try to suppress freedom of religion, expression, and speech when it doesn't agree with their side.
I've noticed this probably since about mid 90's when I started to pay attention

I know you can't just put like 20 different voting options, but I'd say my pick was more a variation of "religion is okay as long as each is free to choose". For myself it's more like, "I think faith in itself is bad, but religion or lack-thereof is a personal matter, and no one should force their beliefs or lack-thereof upon anyone else."

It it's clear that Biblical religion is largely responsible for setting the foundation of our country. Therefore it is foolish to think that we can remove it from our Culture and expect to be better off. Show me a country that does not have a Christian background that respects people even if they disagree with them?
