Has Christianity And Islam Failed Us? by Nobody: 4:45pm On Apr 18, 2011
these two religions claim to preach peace
but what do we find today?
sectarianism and unfairness, violence everywhere
these religions are meant to keep us in peace but see whats happening today.
i am beginning to think they have failed us. What do you think?

@Poser; sexyduby doesn't know what she is saying. i have never seen a christian that know what he or she is to do. turn the other cheek? forget, instead pre emptive strike as bush did with baseless lies for his reason.

an eye for an eye, as soon as the chance to hurt anyone is presented.

my answer is that the practitioners of the two religions have failed us.

the religions, for sure one is true or both are false have not failed us, because if you truly follow what islam says, you may not turn the other cheek, because it is truly not practical and definitely foolish, but you will not start any aggression and will not continue to fight when youe opponent seek peace from you.

true muslim is rare.

i also believe the same for christians because i do think anyone has ever turned the other cheek.

@sexyduby; what reason do you have for what you wrote?

Exactly we have enough problems with too many tribes different cultures languages and beliefs so when you throw two imported religions into the mix what do you expect. Religion dose not unite people. It divides people.

@posters, I think we can all agree that Religion (Islam/Christianity/Others) is a personal issue/experience that must be placed in the same bucket as Fanship of Man.U or Chelsea or Barcelona Fc. As much as we aspire or purpose our intent to massing a fellowship or brotherhood of like "Religious Minds" in the end, it is still a personal choice, We cannot continue to allow the delusion of a "so-called" zealots, fanatics and extremists form the reference point of how our own personal experience with God is to be interpreted.

In the end, we are all humans created by God (Atheist not included  grin) so why must we generalize about a Religion because of the Character of some stank Muslim or Christian groups that choose to interpret the very words of God whichever way they please.

If Religion has failed you, perhaps you should consider this, is Religion the only path to your problem? is God found in the passages of a Book written by Men Centuries past or in the lessons learned

Those religions have no choice but to fail because they were developed when adequate knowledge was scarce. Now that we have enough knowledge to jettison them, some still strongly hold on to them. This of course leads to the problem of trying to resolve modern problems using outdated and in some cases clearly atrocious modes of thinking.

Christianity,Islam and other religious sects are all shams and little by little, the veil is lifting from the eyes of the people. It's unfortunate that the greater proportion of the masses are reetarded brainwashed zombies who are easily influenced and carried away. You will know the reetards by observing those who will respond negatively to what i just typed.

Of course, they failed us. They are a total failure in their alleged task of making mankind get back to oneness with it's creator.

@ poster

religion did not fail anyone. rather it is the followers who have failed themselves and failed God.
the holy books serve as a guide to the Holy spirit within all souls that teaches you all truth.
it is left for us humans to practice the spiritual exercises stipulated in the holy books in order to make contact with the holy spirit then does transformation comes in your life.

SMH
It's ignorant comments like Duby's along with historical events that have taken place makes me say 'YES' to the topic.

This "us against them" mentality is just heart breaking. All religions that worship a divine entity or supreme being
for the most part have the same foundation and principles. If you are praising a creator of Love, Respect, and recognition
of Humanity, why should we be apart or enemies because I call him A, you call him B? I wear this style of clothes, and you wear
yours another way? It's disheartening to see how sour ppl have gone in regardless to their judgment and relationship with other
human beings in the name of religion and division.

@ thehomer

that dude just keeps surprising me. Imagin using a Kennedy line and then attributing it to God. Pathetic.


@ Joaagbaje

How do you know what is on God's mind? did he confide in you.

@ Post

the concept of religion never failed anyone it's the humans that handles these concepts that abuse and inevitably fail themselves.
Re: Has Christianity And Islam Failed Us? by olawalebabs(m): 10:48am On Apr 23, 2011

thank you so much my sister for your wonderful contribution. if we can have more people in this world with your mindset, we would be witnessing a golden age on earth today instead of the carnage being visited on us by people who do not even know the core tenets of their religion.

may God continue to preserve and protect us from religious bigots.

islam will be here long after you, even if you hate it.[/Quote]Deen is religion or way or path of divine purpose. Denying Islam is impossible because you are so animated by it. Detesting Islam is what comes before the love, falling head over heels.

Again, relax. you will live long to ripe old age.And after you are gone, Islam will remain. my prayer is that you do realize Islam before your final hour because when that reality sets in, the only thing is that one bites down a hot burning finger, thou it will be seen by the biter and no one else.

Hellfire consume vigorously.
