Hi Belushi,

thanks for your input..for me, i find it somewhat weird to see so many sub-divisions of following God, i.e. religions. Generally speaking they all try to guide the human mind and heart to live a life of inner peace, tolerance, humility, and the conviction to do what's right. There is no valid reason to start wars, see starvation, injustices in this trying world. That's where the trying comes into place; i believe in God (a title) where i am being tested everyday to do the right thing and gradually guide me to becoming a better person. We also have choice; henced, we reep what we sow.

Ok, before I totally go to bed...

There are a lot of divisions of christianity, and many more that claim to be christianity that aren't, many of the actual christian religion, while they call themself different, are actually except for a few church laws, pretty similiar. you get into differences when you start including the ones that claim to be christian and you can tell which ones are real and which are really big cults in utah.
The other part...
GOD AND RELIGION DOES MOT CAUSE WARS!
(yes, you get capitals on that!)
People cause wars to start trouble because they have some sort of issue or want to "rule the world" or any of many other reasons, but religion dosen't start war! It is used as a blaming tool. I can just as easy blame god because I have a cavity or stubbed my toe, but the truth is if i urshed that toothbetter or watched where i was going or in the case of war, if we wern't out to get all the money we can either by selling weapons or getting more land because we''re greedy, there would be a lot less wars, cavitys and out toes would feel a lot better!...and I don't even know if that last part made sence...so now I actually AM going to bed...Goodnight! And that totally wasn't agianst you for posting that, it jsut triggered what I was thinking...

all the injustices in mankind's past were key points to see what choices were made in reaction to them..we all are born sinners, however, it's the path we take to our graves that will show God and mankind if exit as a sinner or trying to better ourselves. I, too, cry and hurt in my heart when i see and hear of murders, genocides, starvation, and war casualties; as so, i made the choice to help and, hopefully, make an improved difference in others' lives. As for the church and the attending of sinners..well, the true church is inside us, not a physical building..

it's found throughout the Bible of examples of "we reap what we sow"; consequence / result of the choices we make..that's what i meant..since, we're all sinners, the chances are always present for war, whether it be started due to religion, greed, or honour, etc. thanks for your valid point Becca.

God is love and love is God. I love this thread, lol. It never ceases to amaze how people try to complicate such a simple truth. A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. In the Old Testament it says by what name shall we call you and it was answered I AM. What else would a true god say, lmao.

If it wasn't for God,I would have probably hurt myself in the past or present...that is why one of his names is Comforter. God gives me strength to get up in the morning and rest at night,still we must constantly be ready to handle any problem ourselves with His strength. I can't understand how anyone could live in this depressing world today without God. Putting your faith in a man or woman,will always cause disappointment.
