I am asking the question from a Christian perspective. Do you think the Crusades (1 thru 8) were a justified war? Why or why not? If someone were to suggest a modern Crusade, would you support it? Why or why not? This is intended to be answered from a Christian perspective, but as...

Curious on everybodies opinions on this issue.

Are Muslims right? Are Christians right? How do you know?

How do you know? Could you be wrong?

I know this is old news to many people, but I just watched the movie for the first time yesterday. I found the movie to be incredibly biased, propagandaish (if that's a word, it's probably not) and brazen. Though I found it to be extremely thought provoking. It has inspired me to want to...

According to this article, atheists comprise roughly 13-15% of the world's population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism In 2000, the estimates were around 1-2%. Why do you think this is the case? Do you feel this is a good thing or a bad thing? Why? *edit to add link

Does any religion have any facts that prove it the true faith? It is my claim that NO faith can substantuate a single supernatural claim with facts.

First question: How do you define "truth"? What is a reliable method to discover truth?

I've noticed that all heat in these forums come from when one member makes an authoritative claim. Like I am right now by claiming this. Why do you think this is?

Is there a difference between Tanakh, Torah, and Talmud?

Ok, I was told that asking questions such as these are intolerant. Instead of asking these questions in a Jewish BELIEF thread, I want to ask them in the context of historical evidence. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THESE QUESTIONS ARE COMPLETELY HONEST, AND NOT MEANT TO BE DEMEANING OR INTOLERANT...

So Christians keep claiming. Seculor historians disagree. I wonder why? There is evidence that the Roman Legions practised Mithraism as early as 1st century BCE. Mithraism is an adaptation of Zorostoranism (if that's a word) of Persia which exsisted about 400-600 years before Christianity...

Another of thoes pondering questions. How would believers react if there was a definative proof that god did not exsist? Theist, would you behave differently? How would it impact your life? Would you continue to go to church? Thanks for your replies.

I notice how there are many threads with the theme of "Christianity is true, Islam is false" or the inverse. This question is for Muslims and Christians, but all are encouraged to participate. Has any Muslim or any Christian got a VICTORY as in the other faith to convert to yours? Just...

Our music could be roughly labeled as rock, though we have very diverse influences includeing but not limited to: funk, blues, metal, folk, jazz, indian (as in India), and more. We currently have four members: drums, electric guitar, classical guitar, and vocals. We have a practise space at our...

Is it logical, by today's standards to believe that the Bible is the literal word of a God? There are many stories in the OT that seem to be myth, when compared to physical evidence that we observe.
