cerek you say god transends laws of pyhsical science?how do you create something outta nothing?does coal turn into a diamond over time cause god willed it? no its scientific fact that over many years carbonization causes coal to turn into diamonds. men back in 3000 years ago were of average hieght of 4 feet tall man was tiny. why after so many years the average height of man raise up to almost 6 feet? evolution. i do believe we evolved from an ape-like state, maybe not actual apes but similar.
yes i do believe that religion and the right to thought brings chaos to order.we feel we are above everything else and because we were "givin" the right to thought that we are superior. do you see the common animal trying to wipe its own species out of existance? no they dont have the thought that they are superior but of the same. sure males fight for dominance to an "area" but they dont kill each other over it. i.e. rams will fight each other for territory. when one realizes that he is weaker and less dominate he leaves or moves on. doesnt come back later and bust a cap in his azz.
and sports now that we are on that subject. i seem to recall kobe and shaq to be very ill tempered with each other and couldnt seem to play ball well with each other. each wanted the spotlight. could win a championship for 2 years straight. then god (jackson) stepped in taught kobe how to share the ball and the limelight with shaq, and taught shaq to work in his weak areas to improve his game. next thing you know you got 2 star players and three championships later.why couldnt they do that before?didnt god grant them the Incredible "ability" to play basketball? no it took one man who knew how to play the game and hone their abilities and to work on them.
and as far as ww2 is considered it was based on religion. hitler and the rest of the non jewish germans where in poverty and the jews werent. why was that? they had an answer they might not be rich but they can take it from them cause they are superior in fighting sense and there was nothing the jews could do about it.the american civil war was about slavery and its morality issues and what god feels is morally correct about the issue.men should be treated equally. but anyways not talking about each and every war lets talk about war intails. war is caused because of to conflicting sides of interest or "beliefs". a belief that goes against religion. "though shalt not kill" "honor thy neighbor". its also a sin to start a war. most wars are based on greed. is that not a cardinal sin? if we are so in tune with religion why would we allow wars to happen. dont we know its morally wrong to kill fellow man? but we have people of all religions more than willing to fight to protect "their land". i will not join in the military to fight in a war cause i believe it is morally wrong to kill a man. but when it comes to war both sides feel they are each morally wrong for their belief as to why they are fighting that war.
one more note on war, desert storm was that religiously motivated? sure all of you would say no. that it was in U.S. interest to keep oil in the right hands, no. we didnt want the oil to be under control of terrorist extremist groups such as suddam hussien. it is religions way to control the power.the united states would not want to have to buy oil from a terrorist state like that because the U.S. knows what iraqis stand for. granted kuwait doesnt much like the U.S. for other reasons as well . but they arent trying to kill americans either.
do you disagree with hitlers views? why or why not? he felt that what he was doing was an answer to his peoples suffering. is he dumb for "thinking" like that?i would say that that man was pretty hell bent on destruction and genoside based on a belief. can you name one none beleiver of god that is or was anywhere near as hellbent as he was or any other person like him?and serial killers have no remorse for their actions? i dont buy that. why does a man rape a woman or child? cause he "knows" he has power over them and takes advantage over them. and lets not forget the people who claim god tells them to kill people cause they dont follow his rules. are they morally sound? and fighting a war. is a soldier morally sound for killing another man? it is immoral to kill a man no matter what the cause or reason is. so is a soldier not of sound mind. they are just adherering to their own code of conduct their country has instilled in them.
and finally about changing faiths. why are there so many different forms of christianity? buddism and jewdism both have one set of rules or conduct to follow. why is it that man has the right to change and warp christianity around to his own personal liking. if they had a methodist style jewish religion would you then decide to switch because it has or is more adhered to what YOU want to believe? why dont you believe in original christianity? but a parsect of it, an offshoot. would it not be to your total belief system by following christianities main beliefs?
