Which Religion is the One True Religion?

But you missed my point, RP . . . i did not accuse you of belittling anyone, i claimed you were ruining our fun in belittling our interlocutors . . . think, ironic humor . . .

No Problem, Setanta
The Aussies love ironic humour. I have lived with it for 35 years. One problem with it is that not everyone gets it all the time and often many people are hurt in the process. But, of course, one can't turn the ironic humour taps off. We live with varieties of humour: black, white and gold, ironic, all types. And without it the world would be a bleak place. Thank you for your clarification.-Ron. :wink:

You're killin' me!

And just when I was trying so hard to be good.

We are all good in our own way. Right?

I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate you . . .

Obvioulsy you need to be a catholic and have all the means of salvation completed to go to heaven. Its siple here is a contradiction in the Quran:

Hey , I have a CONTRIDICTION for you to look t for me:
Will jesus burn in hell? Jesus is raised to Allah, [sura 4:158] near stationed with him [sura 3:45] worshiped by billions of christians yet Sura 21:98 says, that all who worshiped by men other then allah will burn in the eternal flame with all who worship them. CONTRIDICTION- jesus cant be in heaven and hell forever at the same time!

Also, the bible was written 500 years before the quran and we know from new data that it was never changed, only if the apostles wrote it diffrently then they were supposed to, but we know that didnt happen beacue god made them inflamible.

The virgin mary, wich it cenerated by catholics as much a muslims, is continulsly going around the world, appearing ontop of churches bowing to the cross, and while many msulims go there to see such things they go there and pray on "prayer rugs" to this site. How can this be? If the virgin marys is bowing to a cross? It seams that would contridict all of muslims.

There are 73 sects of islam "and while one man can create one faith and achive a billion to fallow, an other will make 73 and achive less." There are over one billion catholics, and 2 billion christains. While only 13 millions people have to follow each sect to make up the amount of people thta follow islam.

Also each gruop of islam contridicts the other, like how only some belive that jesus was a prophet.

Also if you want to go here its awesome!

And I digress.

NEW YORK?-Responding to recent events on Earth, God, the omniscient creator-deity worshipped by billions of followers of various faiths for more than 6,000 years, angrily clarified His longtime stance against humans killing each other Monday.


Above: God.
"Look, I don't know, maybe I haven't made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again," said the Lord, His divine face betraying visible emotion during a press conference near the site of the fallen Twin Towers. "Somehow, people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to kill their neighbor. Well, I don't. And to be honest, I'm really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand."

Worshipped by Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike, God said His name has been invoked countless times over the centuries as a reason to kill in what He called "an unending cycle of violence."

"I don't care how holy somebody claims to be," God said. "If a person tells you it's My will that they kill someone, they're wrong. Got it? I don't care what religion you are, or who you think your enemy is, here it is one more time: No killing, in My name or anyone else's, ever again."

The press conference came as a surprise to humankind, as God rarely intervenes in earthly affairs. As a matter of longstanding policy, He has traditionally left the task of interpreting His message and divine will to clerics, rabbis, priests, imams, and Biblical scholars. Theologians and laymen alike have been given the task of pondering His ineffable mysteries, deciding for themselves what to do as a matter of faith. His decision to manifest on the material plane was motivated by the deep sense of shock, outrage, and sorrow He felt over the Sept. 11 violence carried out in His name, and over its dire potential ramifications around the globe.

"I tried to put it in the simplest possible terms for you people, so you'd get it straight, because I thought it was pretty important," said God, called Yahweh and Allah respectively in the Judaic and Muslim traditions. "I guess I figured I'd left no real room for confusion after putting it in a four-word sentence with one-syllable words, on the tablets I gave to Moses. How much more clear can I get?"

"But somehow, it all gets twisted around and, next thing you know, somebody's spouting off some nonsense about, 'God says I have to kill this guy, God wants me to kill that guy, it's God's will,'" God continued. "It's not God's will, all right? News flash: 'God's will' equals 'Don't murder people.'"

Worse yet, many of the worst violators claim that their actions are justified by passages in the Bible, Torah, and Qur'an.

"To be honest, there's some contradictory stuff in there, okay?" God said. "So I can see how it could be pretty misleading. I admit it?-My bad. I did My best to inspire them, but a lot of imperfect human agents have misinterpreted My message over the millennia. Frankly, much of the material that got in there is dogmatic, doctrinal bullshit. I turn My head for a second and, suddenly, all this stuff about homosexuality gets into Leviticus, and everybody thinks it's God's will to kill gays. It absolutely drives Me up the wall."

God praised the overwhelming majority of His Muslim followers as "wonderful, pious people," calling the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 attacks rare exceptions.

"This whole medieval concept of the jihad, or holy war, had all but vanished from the Muslim world in, like, the 10th century, and with good reason," God said. "There's no such thing as a holy war, only unholy ones. The vast majority of Muslims in this world reject the murderous actions of these radical extremists, just like the vast majority of Christians in America are pissed off over those two bigots on The 700 Club."

Continued God, "Read the book: 'Allah is kind, Allah is beautiful, Allah is merciful.' It goes on and on that way, page after page. But, no, some assholes have to come along and revive this stupid holy-war crap just to further their own hateful agenda. So now, everybody thinks Muslims are all murderous barbarians. Thanks, Taliban: 1,000 years of pan-Islamic cultural progress down the drain."

God stressed that His remarks were not directed exclusively at Islamic extremists, but rather at anyone whose ideological zealotry overrides his or her ability to comprehend the core message of all world religions.

"I don't care what faith you are, everybody's been making this same mistake since the dawn of time," God said. "The Muslims massacre the Hindus, the Hindus massacre the Muslims. The Buddhists, everybody massacres the Buddhists. The Jews, don't even get me started on the hardline, right-wing, Meir Kahane-loving Israeli nationalists, man. And the Christians? You people believe in a Messiah who says, 'Turn the other cheek,' but you've been killing everybody you can get your hands on since the Crusades."

Growing increasingly wrathful, God continued: "Can't you people see? What are you, morons? There are a ton of different religious traditions out there, and different cultures worship Me in different ways. But the basic message is always the same: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Shintoism... every religious belief system under the sun, they all say you're supposed to love your neighbors, folks! It's not that hard a concept to grasp."

"Why would you think I'd want anything else? Humans don't need religion or God as an excuse to kill each other?-you've been doing that without any help from Me since you were freaking apes!" God said. "The whole point of believing in God is to have a higher standard of behavior. How obvious can you get?"

"I'm talking to all of you, here!" continued God, His voice rising to a shout. "Do you hear Me? I don't want you to kill anybody. I'm against it, across the board. How many times do I have to say it? Don't kill each other anymore?-ever! I'm ******* serious!"

Upon completing His outburst, God fell silent, standing quietly at the podium for several moments. Then, witnesses reported, God's shoulders began to shake, and He wept.

How I wish. But you all know that even were God / Allah / Yahweh / Mazda Ahura to say such in the morning by mid-afternoon we'd have found another reason to hate and kill.

Hello everyone especially to Neo and his friend Setanta, not because they are different to others, but because we know each other a little bit from another topic!!

Does it feels good Neo that I paid the bail for you?

Take warnings Real Life, because Setanta he has been seen together with Moe at the shooting field, where his M14 is in automatic mode and the bullets flies around like evil bees!

this is not a serious question is it?

they are all a load of hooey from animist to zoroastrianism

Christianity. all religions have an element of truth, but only Christianity shows somebody rise from death, and Jesus is still alive today.

ps. where is everybody today?

Hello to you Rockpie!

May I kindly ask you what you mean by:" Jesus is still alive today?

Glad to see you have a sense of humor. But you really don't know Moe, do you?

Hello to you Neo, it really pleases me that you are alive, seriously. I like to wish you a long life and that you and we all can continue to collect information and get knowledge about important things, that have such an impact of our lives, as a life and death discission has.

We have possibilities and are capable to learn, as long as we live, what a gift!

Regarding Moe, you are right, I have only heard about him, since he was at the shooting field with your friend Setanta and his M14, last time I was looking for you at Moe's, because everybody I was talking to said, that you was a frequenter at Moe's!

NB. I'm precarious, do you know "AnonymousLuke" or are you responsible for that he found the link?

Hi talk;

Here is just one of many photos of the folks at Moe's Bar.

You will not find either Setanta or me down there although we do consider ourselves friends of Homer in that we offer him mental assistance whenever possible.
As far as Luke is concerned, you and Tele have no doubt hit the topic often enough to make it show up in a Google search. I haven't tried it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Neo it seems obviously that either Tele or I have been listening to you what you can see at Neologist and everyone affiliated.......Your last post seems for me that you have quit!

Have you forsaken me, as a good sparring partner?

Where is your Native American friend Setanta, has he shoot himself in the foot, when he couldn't get his M14 out of automatic mode? Is he at the hospital and receiving blood transfusions, which I know for sure is a no-no for you.

Haven't you convinced him yet? If you have what if he dies Neo, will you be responsible?

Or is he simply inside his house worshipping his tribe God??? You know that he don't believe in Jesus Christ and as I'm informed about Native Americans, the Indians believe in the nature!

Setanta don't believe in Jesus Christ, even that he was the Greatest man in the whole world history, with an impact on about and more than 3 billion people or more believing he had been among us.

Maybe Setanta don't trust what the world history tells us, simply because of his experience, when you recommended him to eat Peppinos Pizzas, as the best in town, because of you observations, that and due to that 20 million flies can't be wrong! Right, do you remember Neo?

Maybe Setanta is going to eat it, since it has been necessary for him to have tripe like a cow; you know they have four stomachs. Or is it simply because he can't get rid of his chewing gum!

Or have he found other people who isn't Native American he is going to poke at, e.g. origins of Australia, since it can't be the ones the Englishmen deported to Australia, which for sure are in control of the English language. I'm sure you know what I mean......

I have a question for you. Why are the Americans going to build a parapet between the Mexican border and North America?

Is it because of their experience with the Native Americans, you know the Indians who lives in reservats today, simply because they didn't stop the emigration in proper time?

Sorry for the post in this forum, but if you PM me Neo I will be able to answer you. You know how to do!

PS: Neo I must frankly ask you are you sure that it isn't you, sitting with the back to all of us, scratching the hair? Are you sure that it isn't and only your needle that scratch over the 78 rpm and sounds scratch....scratch.....scratch....!

If you want to learn about Setanta or anyone on this forum, you have simply to click on his name. You will then be directed to a page listing all of his (or her) posts, from most recent to those when he first joined.

You will then find, in Setanta's case, a personality entirely different from the impression you seem to have.

I believe you Neo, like Setanta regarding Peppino's Pizzas, I have also "read" it in the magazines you use to read twice a month!

Have you read tele's post at Neologist and anyone affiliated with.... It seems that it wasn't a dead end. Have you learned anything, not because you shall believe in me, but maybe it has given reasons for some thoughts, since it must be you at Moe's scratching your hair and head. I really hope it is, because you must have got something to be wondering at......

Seriously how do your knee operation went, since I'm not familiar when it was or should be. In every case I hope the best for you Neo. Romans 13:8!

NB. Thanks for the tip even that I knew it but anything that can ce of service and expand reliable and tru knowledge is highly appreciated!

You've obviously forgotten everything that happened at Moe's. What on earth were you doing there?

FWI, That's Barney scratching his head.

You do know who the bald guy is, don't you?
