I bet you do.

Vengeful type are you?

Ever thought that you might be wrong?

And I don't think you would have too many posters beside yourself.

It could be. That doesn't mean it has to be thought so by other members of the community. They might take a totally different view.


So, for example, if a terrorist says he's killing people because of his religion, we don't have to believe that?

We could take a different view and say, for example, that the terrorist is nothing more than a murdering coward, using religion as a convenient excuse - yeah?

I'm surprised you didn't know that already.

Anyway, I'm glad to have helped you.

Sorry. I didn't realise I was supposed to wait on your reply. Perhaps I should apologise, but I won't. Wink

So which religion says it is ok to kill people? As I said I haven't seen it in the Christian mantra.

But you seem somewhat erudite, so I suppose you can assist? Wink

Back to my questions:

You don't have to believe anything you are told.

I haven’t seen any scientific evidence that proves God doesn’t exist.

Quote:
A mental illness….???


You mean like bulimia or homosexuality, not at all, its man’s way of trying to make some sense of that external question that plagues us even until this day,

What is the meaning of life….?

Why are we here as pilgrims on the earth for a short time…………………?

Where or what were we before and after life....?

Religion which is manmade tries to fill in some of these voids.
