feel enlightenment without corruption, or be corrupted without enlightenment
two hands of random afterlife one of the great and one of the sorrow
choose the hand of faith, detication, and holyness to feel enlightenment
hand of sorrow, destuction, and pain to feel wrath forever
knowing with hand to choose is obvious, but none know if the hand of enlightenment is just corruption in disguise.

Accually FMA related: Envy calls Pride a Puppet, The Dante prevokes Envy to get mad and go try to kill Ed and Al... Pride stands there probably thinking "Now who's the puppet you cross-dressing palm tree?"

Interesting philosophy. Basically, you are saying that all religions claim to provide answers when only one can be correct, right?
Laughing gas has a very simple chemical structure, and is deadly in large doses. Even if you don't get a lethal dose, you're going to be disoriented, making it easier to get a lethal dose.

What I feel I have to blurt out is:

How can any religion be true? Someone just makes it up and then tells it to the world. Atleast, that's what I think...

Again, i'd think of more to say, but I gotta go...again...

You are assuming that a religion must be based on something we cannot prove. What is a religion but a belief? Can't a belief be based on the facts before us and opinions formed around them?

yes but some receant religions (cults) inculding scientoligy is making a mockery out of false evidence, christianity has alot of historic evidence alot of evidence i should say, for instance one battle of the Assryians was recorded in the bible then people found a stone tablet explaining the battle people compared the 2 and they were almost identical the only difference between the 2 was the point of view see the tablet was from the assyrian kingdom which talks about the joy of having there men slaughter and kill other armies and talks about them running in fear while the other side is the bible talking about the Assyrians bloodlust rampage and the horror of it. My point is the most likely relegion that has the more chance of being true is infact Christianity. Try that on for size :P

Never challenge me to argue religion.

Do you know what that historic evidence says? It says that the jews were around while the Assyrians were, and they thought the Assyrians enjoyed violence too much. Saying that this little tidbit makes Christianity the "right" religon is borderline ridiculous, in the sense that it's on the ridiculous side of the border. It just shows a particular religion's view toward violence and proper behavior during wartime. The only reason we would agree with that viewpoint is that we were raised with it. Had we been raised by the Assyrians, we would have thought their view "has the more chance of being true" rather than Christianity.

Well I guess Religion is a way for people to find hope... but then again I can never take any Religion seriously. Because how do you know for sure that if you follow THAT religion, will you achive salvation? Heaven? Nirvana? Enlightenment? How the hell do you know what will happen when your dead? They never said anything cuz they're dead!

How are they certain when it can't be proven? Its a touchy subject I know, but sometimes they are meant to cause conflict and corruption. When people think too hard on the afterlife, what about their lives now? Doesn't it mean anything at all?

Also, how can you believe in Christianity? Islam? or whatever religion when OVER and OVER again they do so much bad in history? The crusades, the Middle Ages, Hitler's purification, the Palestinian war, the Witch Trials in Europe and in Salem? What does it mean? How can you believe in a religion that is supposed to bring faith and hope, when it kills people and brings misery to others? Shouldn't we accept the differences of others?

Aren't we humans to make mistakes? If so, then what is salvation?
It means nothing.... cuz sooner or later, everyone will die one day. Its not for us humans to know...

x) Yeah! *High fives Xorital* besides >>;; It says in the bible that all humans will one day go to hell. And that we were born from sin. Even in Hinduism and Islam and Buddhism, we all are born impure, that's why in our life of living we have to redeem ourselves.

Well hello? If we're gonna go to hell anyway, what's the point? Might as well make the most of your life.

Religion is a hard topic.

Well, religion is not really fake, yet, not real at all. It's just a believe. There are so many different religions out there. People even fight about different religions[Which religion is right? Blah, blah, those stuff] But, all the religions are telling the same thing : Peace.

Don't fight and all those crap. So, why fight over something so pointless? Why can't others believe in the religion that they want to believe in? Why are people fighting over which religion is right?

Everyone has different opinions, why can't others just accpet that?

Monch, you asked why humans can't accept the differences of others. It's basic survival instinct mixed with complex mental functions. If something is different, then we do not understand it. If we do not understand something, there is a potential it is a threat. If something can be a threat, it must be prevented from being a threat by either evasion or destruction of the potential threat. That is why human can't accept the differences of others; there is a little voice in the back of the human mind that says anything and everything different will kill you, and you need to kill it first.

Your other questions are answered with a similiar train of thought; this train of thought leads to the same kill or be killed conclusion. It cannot be helped, it can only be supressed by trying to understand others and learning that they aren't a threat. Unless they are, in which case instinct kicks in as it should. Unfortunately, learning means delving into the unknown, so humans try to avoid it. The solution is prevented by the nature of the problem.

havent you guys listen to me Relegion is the shell of moral society if there is no belief there is no truth, if there is no truth then theres nothing but false beliefs and blasphemy over what is real or not, there is no truth thats why people believe in gods power over there own moral society, think about it what if gods were never believed in, every relegion is its own structure if tampered with there will be chaos, chaos such as beheading, slaying, and turtures that are happening now. Relegion is the base structure that holds our world together, deal with it.
