It is unfortunate that Man can misinterpret what God teaches so badly that they engage in horrible deeds.  However, it's important that we all remember this is MAN'S flaw, not God's.  Now, I cannot speak for non-Christian religions, for I do not know what they teach.  However, I can speak to you from a Christian perspective. 

Following Jesus Christ's teachings properly will lead any man/woman/child along the right path.  A path of compassion, love, honor, truth, forgiveness, patience, charitable behavior and the ability to stay strong under the most aggressive pressures of the world.  The problem we have is that some fall victim to temptation and skew God's message.  Those people mislead others and then, even more people begin to misinterpret their actions as the actions of God.  The two are not even on the same playing field, however.

My father is an atheist and therefore, I see first-hand the frustrations, misconceptions and distrust he experiences.  He relies upon himself only and thinks faith is God is absurd.  Regardless, I love him and pray for his conversion continually.  I want him to know peace, safety and compassion.  I want him to know that being "of God" means good things, not bad.  I wish the very same for you and all those who have been misled.

Peace be with you and I hope that perhaps this has given you another insight.

Chris

Although many people believe strongly in god as i do .. i have had sooo much misery and pain in my life .. and its not down too god .. its down to the devil with tempting people to do wrong .. or because god gave people free will to decide whever they want to be good or bad it ment some people did nto want to obey .. and because they grew weak then .. the devil saw this so picks on the ones that are already weak .. and we must be strong enough to fight it off ... because after all .. i know where id rather be .. in heaven ... not hell .. where more pain awaits ...

Jadey, the devil is a liar.  Satan picks on people while we're just little children, causes misery and war, then honest men have to go in harm's way to subdue it. 

Since no one can respect liars, we need never respect or fear the devil.  The devil tries to make us hate him if only to avoid being forgotten, but in time, the devil will burn in hell, forsaken and forgotten, utterly alone. 

We who endure the devil's rotten games find favor with God.  He sent us here to prove what we will do under stress.  The devil claims to provide that stress on God's behalf (see the book of Job) but never once since that time has the devil had one bit of authority from God to "prove" anyone.

Now, the devil is merely an outlaw spirit trying to get people to take sides.  It does not matter with or against who: if the devil can get you to take sides, he can preserve the failed Satanic rebellion.

It won't work.  God sees through satan's games and lies. 

No one survives life on this planet, nor were we supposed to survive it.  But what we prove of ourselves here, we have proved before God for all eternity.

Life can be miserable.  Life is definitely unfair.  Look at the lucky stiffs in drought and war torn Kenya and Ethiopia to see what suffering is all about.

I don't know what these folks did to rate that sort of treatment, but know that their eternal reward is in direct measure to their suffering.

Even light will bend to do our bidding if we apply force correctly. The lowest servant in Heaven is still in Heaven, whoever rules in hell is still in hell, but they won't rule for long. No man stands taller than when he stoops to help a little child.

Per Mknight:

Equality will be gained by all when education is aquired by all.  NOT RELIGION!

It is absolutely obvious that Mknight is a truly fanatical atheist cultist here trying to recruit YOUR beautiful little children into his bed and his cult.

Absolutely obvious, therefore absolutely predictable.  It isn't the first time that atheist cult fanatics have demanded the sexual (and pederast) favors of YOUR children.

How do YOU deal with pederasts cruising YOUR neighborhoods, handing out candy bars (and illegal drugs) to your kids if they will only join his offbeat cult?

The saddest fact of all is that atheists think that their sexual demands of your kids is cute.

The problem is not really the religion, its the followers. People  have free will of action and mind. When people can not accept that others do not believe the same thing that the first person does, anger can bubble up, and if bottled too long, it can bust open and spill, causing actions that can result in people killing or harming others for the lack of same belief.  Another thing is that people have found many faults in religions, for example I will use the Christian religion because its one im a bit formiliar with, There was a group of men who, when Paganism was around and not hidden in the shadows for fear of condemnation, they changed the dates and some names of locations of events in the bible to try to make it look like thePagans were copying the christians holy days and holidays. truth was, Paganism has been around for more than 9,000 years, christianity for 2000-4000. People dont like finding that what they thought to be truth was lies. So they fight, change things around, try to make lies make others look much worse than the truth.

The cure for this? Acceptance and open minds. if people can accept that some believe in  God, Jesus, others Allah, The Goddess (like me), or multiple Gods, if we accept that not everyone is going to think and believe like everyone else, then the world would be better.

Since the dawn of man, one type of human or another has looked up at the sun or the moon and said, 'Are YOU God'?  You must be god. You make it light so I can see, you are here for me everyday. So on it went for thousands of years. Then they started putting rules in the equasion. God must want me to walk on the left side of the road so I must do it. THen the 'Rules' started and mankind was a slave to his own superstitions.  What Religion should you belong to? The one that offers HIGHER EDUCATION with a major in SCIENCE and MATH.

Who said I was REMOVED from Yedda. All of the answers to my question were so stupid, they didn't warrent a reply. The bible thumping leaches of the world will still do things in God's name, Blame God for misfortune, and all things, good or ill for so long, a time out is needed to watch you all explode, making meanings of your lives.  I see one line, Christian leadership, Boy are the Christians fucking up this month.  Sanford, Ensign, and the lies of Cheney. It's mainly the Repubs that are so big on Christian 'Leadership' and then are the first to fall.  Maybe they should not be so fast to cast the first stone.  It's all bullshit anyway.  100 years from now you will not even be a footnote in the wikkipedia of life.  And how dare you speak in 'Jesus' Name'  I'm sure you're no Jesus.

McKnight,

He said in Jesus's name..........we proudly use his name for he gave his very life for those that have accepted him in their hearts..........

It is not what you take into your mouth that makes you unclean.......it is the filth that comes out of the mouth that makes you unclean, for it comes from the heart........so said our Lord Jesus.

Soften your heart.........let the anger and hate go my friend while there is still time........

Yes I agree many spout words from the Bible without knowing the meaning.........and they toss religion at people that turn people away.  God never was a religion, nor is Jesus a religion......

The term Christian means you believe in Christ only.......it should never signify a religious order.

The Perfect religion according to God, is one that takes care of the widows and orphans..........:)  Di
