Whose religion? What religion?

To those that believe in God, everyone has a different interpretation of him. No consensus.

It's not hard to defend religion if you are well read about the various religions of the world.

Elaborate.What do you mean by the question?
Re: Why Has God Made It So Hard To Defend Religion? by vislabraye(m): 12:36am On Aug 31, 2012
Religion is the way of man to God.
Xtianity is not a religion. Going to church on Sunday is not what makes a person a "christian" (God did not call his followers christians). Its the lifestyle ie Godliness.
God won't defend what he didn't create.

I believe the op's question has been answered. If he still needs views, then he should rephrase and be more specific.

The question wasn't directed at me, but permit me to reply you.

Here are the Steps

1. Start the topic I.e the subject and the content, then click on the submit button.

2. When the topic must have been created, scroll down and look for the "add poll" button, It's on the same line as "reply", and "unfollow" .

3. Now you've created your pool enjoy it cheesy.

Can you stop this fallacy please? Christianity is a religion. Going to a church may not necessarily make one a Christian, I agree, but one whose life is guided by Biblical principles (whether you disagree or not) is said to be a Christian. Isn't it surprising that the disciples in Antioch were not ashamed to be called Christians, yet Christians today seek to disassociate themselves from the label?

It points to a greater problem. There's something fundamentally wrong with a Book that has as many interpretations as there are verses.

on the other hand
If GOD didn't create religion, who did? Man?
if Man created religion, won't it be right to say religious gods are man's creations?
Without religion, would there be God?

Re: Why Has God Made It So Hard To Defend Religion? by TheOP1(m): 7:09am On Sep 01, 2012
People help me ooooo, i heard another one today!!!

Someone was preaching today ans he said "Eniti o ba rope ohun gbon kole wo alijanna , mumu to gbo to gba loma wo alijanna".

Meaning , any body that tries using his wisdom on religious matters will not make heaven, but a "mumu" i.e someone that can not think for himself, will make heaven, because he will just hear and obey without question anything.

I was likely exactly !!! Religious folks are brain dead when it comes to Religion they switch it on when it comes to other matters.

This is how Uyi Iredia exposes ignorance

1) He was told to explain talking snakes/donkeys and he changed the topic to evolution and big bang. Straw man
2) "Apelike ancestors turning into men"....how idiotic because first, men are apelike and evolution has enough evidence.
3) "universe popping out of nothingness"....an idiotic summary of the big bang

At least you have accepted that they are irrational.

tpia@:

Stars can't move about in the sky because they are billions and billions of miles away. Even if one was actually moving, it would be impossible to tell due to the great distances involved. Similarly, a moving "star" such as a comet or meteorite can't come to rest over a house. Even objects. closely orbiting the earth ( e.g. the moon and the International Space Station) don't show any visible parallax when you move along the ground.

If a flying object settled above a house, then it must have been moving at a very low altitude well within the earth's atmosphere. Therefore, what you are referring to is a UFO.

How do UFOs fit into the bible story?

The evidence for evolution is very porous and by the way I wasn't asked to explain talking donkeys & snakes. Read well before commenting will you ? Let's not forget that irrational belief of the universe popping out of nothing just like that. Pow ! and we have the universe via the Big Bang.

Define "nothing"
Re: Why Has God Made It So Hard To Defend Religion? by Callotti: 11:16pm On Sep 02, 2012
Which God?
What religion?
For who? wink

God does not make it hard to defend relition.
It was made by MAN.
Man made God! grin

The Catholics do not agree with the Mormons. . .for starters.
Islam is not worth talking about. Will not even try to understand it. kiss

All religions are 'MAN-MADE'. Leave 'God' out of it. All about 'mind-control'! cool
Re: Why Has God Made It So Hard To Defend Religion? by TheOP1(m): 5:34am On Sep 03, 2012
Mrs Calloti de Halloti dats what i have in mind .

If there is really a God and he actually wants us to worship him ,he should have designed a better system in which all human naturally recognize him even without being taught.

I am sure a good number atheist will readily convert if the existence of God can be proved beyond what is written in a book.

Also God should know better than to keep himself invisible without any physical prove or signature of his existence(am not refering to any of his creations as most religionist point to as prove) . As intelligent beings with high level of curiousity we tend to believe more in things we can see touch or experience first hand, thats not our fault, thats how we were created.
I dont blame the ancient men for worshipping the sun ,moon,cow ,tree, e.t.c as an explaination for the the unknown ,cos they prefer to hold on to something they can experience first hand, rather than an invisble being, like the Religionist talking and shouting at themselves in the name of prayer.

you get ahead of yourself.

a moving star will typically pass through the earth's atmosphere until it burns up, and disappears.

are you saying it always disappears at sea?
Re: Why Has God Made It So Hard To Defend Religion? by Jenwitemi(m): 6:33am On Sep 03, 2012
God has nothing to do with religions being made unintelligible. That was the handiwork of man and man alone. And that was purposefully done to keep the believers confused and split apart amongst themselves to cause the chaos we see today in the religious communities worldwide. Divide and conquer, that sort of thing.
