I saw many guys arguing about religion as if they are ready to eat the adversary. I want to ask whether it's childish for you. _________________ If I say "I love you" to someone, then I also have to say "I also love everyone else inside you, I love the whole world because of you, I also love myself inside you." -- Erich Fromm, the Art of Love |

I think amicable discussions are a better way of resolving issues and understanding one another. Imagine, a Jew and an Arab, and Indian and a Pakistani expressing their views on mutually sensitive issues in a friendly and civilized discussion.

I used to discuss religion with people. but later I found it's a pure waste of time.
For everyone, religion is rooted and almost unchangable. and there are some conflicts of thinking among different religions. so people often try to tell others that their own religion is "correct", and others' is "wrong". Finally, none can convince another one. sin't that a waste of time?
Anyway, religion isn't a nice question for discussion. |

yes RedRose I'm also doubting now whether I should just ignore such discussions.
Different religions only create anger. Have you noticed that, if a Christ and a Muslim discuss about about each other's religions, the Christ only says why Islam is evil and the Islam only says why Islam is not evil?
I also think now this is a waste of time. _________________ If I say "I love you" to someone, then I also have to say "I also love everyone else inside you, I love the whole world because of you, I also love myself inside you." -- Erich Fromm, the Art of Love |

Maybe not religion as in "which religion is best", but I think it's interesting to talk about religion's histories and the impact they have on the world today. _________________ peace-monger |

Christ is the person for whom Christianity is named. A follower of Christ is a Christian, not a Christ.
And a follower of Islam is a Muslim, not an Islam.
I cannot agree that when a Christian and a Muslim discuss religion, the Christian does nothing but call Islam evil, and the Muslim does nothing but defend Islam as not evil.

by the discussion in the English Internet Forums I know _________________ If I say "I love you" to someone, then I also have to say "I also love everyone else inside you, I love the whole world because of you, I also love myself inside you." -- Erich Fromm, the Art of Love |

and for example in the discussion with CP
he hates me now and wrote a very long post blaiming me because I said he is stupid, as he has become very fanatic in Christianity _________________ If I say "I love you" to someone, then I also have to say "I also love everyone else inside you, I love the whole world because of you, I also love myself inside you." -- Erich Fromm, the Art of Love |

hi friends
I am a muslim and in my opinion we don't need to discuss religions, of course we can talk about religions but blaming totally a religion is so weird.
at the same time I have a " Universal Peace Project" and I am focusing on it. if we want "Universal Peace" we should respect each other. because religion is a choice. and everybody can be who s/he wants to be...
I hope all wars will be over one day, and we will live so friendly in this world in a peacefully way...
peace be upon you... _________________ Universal Peace... |
