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.

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.....

well i was just meaning that ... here you have two groups of people ... both with a "holy book." both said to be inspired by God. so unless God is just instigating a fight to give him/her something to watch ... then i'm gonna stand by the fact that they're both wrong.

as if i'm supposed to choose sides or something. i'm not about to believe something just because one story sounds better than the other. they both have a lot of good things that they promote .. as well as bad things .. but its considered blasphemy to just pick and choose. like you believe it all or none at all.

any group of people that deal in absolutes shouldnt be trusted.
Bush: "you're either with us .. or with the terrorists"
Bible: "you're either of me or of Satan"

screw all of that!
