Sanders' Religion Thread, Begun @ LC Forum Options

[Sanders]

e-Dog and I have decided to re-constitute this from LC. It is a thread about the 3 major religions of the world. The goal was to follow the path of each from their common origins to the present day. We (a number of LC posters and I) got as far as the begining of the First Crusade while the thread was active.

What becomes of this thread when all the copying is done is not clear. It may be just a read-only thread for the Religion topic. Or it may be left open to posting, so we can finish the journey.

call God jehovah .. allah .. or Fred Dickinson ... it doesnt matter. you can have a million different beliefs on the details of what God wants for his creation and such. but when it comes to worshiping and following ... you're all following the same God. even if you entertain the idea of more than one God ... your thoughts/prayers/energy .. are all going to the same entity. see what i'm saying? a christian prays to god ... a muslim prays to god .. a mormon .. a jew .. whoever .. they're praying to the same God. doesnt matter what you call him/her.

Well I think there is a huge problem if one belief system is telling you to kill Jews and the other is telling you that Jews are God's chosen people. That kind of matters to the Jews....

ok that was f'd up ... i work at a hotel .. and i'm at work right now ... and i just checked in one "Frederick Dickinson" how spooky is that?  (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

In the words of the EXTREMELY knowledgeable Paris Hilton, "That's Hott." (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

i thought the jews didnt believe jesus was the son of God? that they're still waiting for the messiah?

It is my understanding, though I may be wrong, that Jews believe Jesus is the son of God, but that he has not come yet and has not yet been crucified. That kind of goes along with the fact that they only look at the old testament, and most specifically the first five books. So, you kind of miss out on the whole Jesus part when you don't read the new testament.
