It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

There are no posters known by the names you used in the earlier, now deleted post here, moxie. Now, if you're thinking of another board, best to leave anything from that board there. If that board is no longer active, best leave anything from that board no longer active. We DO NOT want any of it here. Since you have no access to any means to know whether a poster here is the same poster as a poster on another board, just keep your assumptions to yourself and old news from other boards out of here.

LOL @ "hedonism."
This sounds like the same tired old argument many Christians haul out when they have little else to say. Oh, because I don't believe in YOUR God, I must be a hedonist. What a load of garbage. I probably live a more moral life than most people of your stripe.
But, since hedonism is specifically defined as seeking pleasure above all else, if worshiping God gives you pleasure, you are also a hedonist. Unless you're absolutely miserable believing as you do, then guess what ...
LOL! Of course not, and people like you would ensure that no president EVER prays to a Hindu god. That would be unacceptable in a nation that espouses freedom of religion - as long as it its evangelical Christianity.

A belief in any Bronze Age deity is misguided, as far as I'm concerned. But you're right about one thing - it certainly does continue on with even more misguided people.
Of course, there are probably people in India looking at Christianity and sincerely believing YOU are the misguided one. I find it hilarious that, because you were born in a Christian nation, you believe that Christianity is the only true religion. Had you been born elsewhere, you would be worshiping your ancestors or even elephant-headed gods. Demographics influences your beliefs far more than any inherent "truths" found in your religious dogma.
Failing to understand this truism is also misguided.

At least the people in India have heard of Christianity. Unlike some Christians, when confronted with an elephant-headed God, start feeling confused and threatened. 'I don't know what that is, but it looks rude and nasty".

Seems there was some butt hurt gong on here today?
Many have their own view and I respect that. I won't bash how someone choses to worship or not worship, believe or not believe. It comes down to this, no one answers to anyone but their own beleif system, IMO. I do believe in God, so I will answer to God for my life and how I treated others.
Live and be happy... listen and respect and learn. I do like to learn others views and religious beleifs, out of curiosity, I suppose. Believe it or not, the world is big enough for us all!

Are you saying there is a true God? Or there are many and each is equal to the other in their own right?

God Blesses me daily, continuously. Your God should bless you with more tolerance and an open mind. I was offended that you chose to laugh at my beliefs. I didn't scoff at yours.

My belief might be different from most here, so forgive me if I offend anyone with my views. I believe that the reason there is more than one religion is because there really IS more than one god, but none of these gods is the true God. Lone, do you believe that there is a one True God?

ALL.. may I remind you that this thread is NOT here so that everyone can say their views are right and others are wrong. If you wish to engage in that, then you will not be allowed to continue posting on this topic.
Keep it nice. I don't want to have to say it again. I also do not want to see a repeat of old msn grudges brought up here, or anywhere else on this forum. It has no place here and I will not tolerate it. PERIOD.

Lone, do you believe that there is a one True God? Yes, one and only one, but more of an energy force rather than a spiritual being. Can you give more info? Energy source? I am curious about that
