Religious Poll

[ryanglavin]

Hey friends,
I was just wondering, have we ever had a religious Poll on here?
And please don't start a flame war, its just a simple question

I don't think I've ever seen one on GT. Personally, I think the two worst things that you could possibly discuss on the internet are religion and politics, but a lot of people seem to like talking about the latter. I'm sure you would get a number of responses for the former.

IIRC there was one a few years ago. And I'd say that the GT formum has had a reasonable run of religious as well as political discussions in its time.

how come he that doesn't know ANYTHING about God could assume that God is the perpetrator of everything.

Do you know why Jesus taught Thy kingdom come . . . .Thy will BE done on earth as in heaven WHICH MEANS it doesn't always happen that way still on earth.

Not Thy kingdom preserved . . . . .

NOT the TIME YET. Sins is the root of this ****ed up world. Misery breeds misery. Anger breeds anger. Torture breeds torture.

Don't hate me over me commenting this. God is not responsible for much of our misery.

My life is in ruins my future is bleak my health is not good but I still can tell anyone I haven't seen anyone and anything greater than my God. Sure I'm upset why I couldn't be like everyone else and why would despotic people get attracted to me but like I said I haven't seen anything nor anyone greater than my God. Heck for all the enemies throw at me I could have a nation or two to befriend me had I wanted it(or a few others to kill me :P). Nothing is like God. Most of all God is always personal you must find God yourself no one can help you to it. More like until God decides that you must find Him.
My life in one word is PAIN. In fact I rather hate my life but what can I do I'm forever convicted with knowing God no matter how little or far in between.

Is this thread really necessary? This forum is no missionising board or a board over confessions on personal fantasies one holds. Where there is no religious propaganda pushed into the public space, there no anti-religious people must feel provoked by being missionised and must not push their antireligious stuff into public as well - like Castout and me just have demonstrated: the one guy starts to preach, the other sends back a shot in reply. Peace is maintained, and everybody is still free to think what he wants in private, with the public space not needing to bother for either the one or the other. And that's how it should be in a secular society, with any kind of relgion there is and atheism as well. Keep your oh so precious convictions pro of contra to yourselves, where they belong. They belong nowhere else than to the inside of your mind. Nature, the world, the cosmos give nothing for them, and many people live here that do not want to need giving time and awareness for them either.

Play your radio at volume levels where you do not bother your neighbours.

I would simply lock this and similiar threads.

@skybird I wasn't referring to picking up a religion.

What little I know about God is that

God is kind enough to actually love the people who don't know Him at all and powerful enough to literally change our heart. Generous enough to give without being asked, loving enough to give what was asked even when it was really ridiculous, still enough not to give everything that we asked, and strict enough to know that He is GOD such that we are reminded that we're never be on equal terms with God,

God I know is NOT MEEK. Never was, never is and never will be.

By that logic, no one should ever discuss anything for want of keeping peace with those who see an opposing point of view. I imagine that this would specifically apply to topical discussion involving matter that is held in near religious conviction by it's participants, as in politics, economics, diplomacy and global terrorism. In fact, I'll make a point of reminding you of this the next time you begin to rail against Islam which, given how frequently it occurs, will probably be sometime later today.

Let the religious guys have their thread. I said that I think it is a bad idea, but I also say the same thing about politics and that doesn't seem to stop anyone, you included. As long as no one is breaking any rules, then all is well and you can just avoid clicking on the thread if it bothers you. That's what I do.
