I simply believe in what Bombeni is saying.
[edit on 15-4-2009 by wonderworld]
I have read through this entire thread, and I find it amazing that you really believe what Bombeni is saying. I am new here and have never posted before, but I had to put my two cents in on this.
I have always considered myself a Christian, until recently when I have began to believe I am not. I believe in a God of love and positive energy. Not in the same sort of God that Christians believe in. I am not a Christian hater, an atheist, or anything else that is "against God". I believe that a lot of Christians are very wonderful people, the same goes for a lot of people who have a lot of other religious and/or spiritual beliefs.
However, the comments that Bombeni has made are still utterly shocking to me. For one, the comments that ALL Muslims as a whole hate all Christians is just ridiculous. I know Muslims that are not extreme like that and do not hate Christians. Also, the claims that Christians were not the perpetrators of the Crusades, The Spanish Inquisition, and other such atrocities that were in fact perpetrated by Christians....Those people were Christians, they may not have been good Christians, but non the less Christians. That doesn't mean that all Christians should be degraded or shunned, but you can not ignore historical facts. It seems to me that Bombeni thinks that if you are not a Christian you are wrong, that Christianity the ONE religion, and they are superior to everyone else.
I don't have much else to say because I am still in a state of shock from the comments Bombeni has made. I just wanted to say that those (and other comments) are very shocking to me and do not understand why you would really honestly believe what Bombeni is saying on here.
Muslim school 'that taught pupils from race hate textbooks made photocopies after order to shred them'Last updated at 21:50 20 February 2008
A prestigious Islamic school in London was forced to shred 2,000 textbooks used to poison pupils' minds with lessons of hate, a former teacher claimed yesterday....
NEW YORK — Can it be true? That Islamic schools in the United States teach hatred towards American Christians and Jews?
The Washington Post on Monday revealed that one such school outside Washington, D.C., uses textbooks teaching 11th graders that "the Day of Judgment can't come until Jesus Christ returns to Earth, breaks the cross and converts everyone to Islam, and until Muslims start attacking Jews."
Do you believe Muslims are taught to love and forgive???

Of course they are, no religion is not going to teach people to love. EXTREMEIST are not teaching love, there is a big difference. Religion is not a popularity contest, trying to outdo one another with a bigger better, more vengeful God. Your all working for the same cause, peace on earth, good will to man, etc. That shouldnt' be a religious teaching, that should be something as a human you do. Dont be giving God credit for something your supposed to do.

Bombeni you seriously need to stop. You are embarassing yourself here.
I AM Christian, and frankly you're single-handedly ensuring that 2000+ years of progress for Christians are being thrown back to the Pleistocine.
Christianity, Muslim, Taoist, Buddhaist, Jew, it just doesn't matter. The difference between ALL of them only boils down to one singular thing; semantics.
Unless, of course, you're of that 0.01% that has this unfathomable belief that for each religion there clearly must be a different creator. And, if you're not in that percentage, then the name of the religion has no bearing. We ALL could only have one creator (if in fact, religion is right on the money and BEING a farily well educated skeptic I have to entertain the possibility that religion was solely created as a mechanism for mass crowd control and nothing more) which would render the differences between the religions defunct.
THAT said, there ARE no enemies, not in YOUR context...the only enemy (in your context) would be those of the anti-christ. The evil that is the antithesis of good. THOSE would be the enemy that your Bible speaks of.
Please, if you want anyone at ALL to have a decent view on Christianity, dont further your cause here by continuing on with the embarassment that you call a reply.

My question continues. Why should humans behave in the fashion you state? What is the purpose? Why if there is no God would you be compelled to do good?
