Poll: Which religion is the best religion?

[xhomerx10]

I choose islam, and please don't judge the Islam without you learn it.

You picked Islam because you were born into it.

Are you sure? Where do you know that i was born as moslem?

To believe in this bullshit voluntarily would require an IQ of 70 or below.  I'm assuming your IQ is slightly above that since you can express yourself
in a foreign language.

Your religion is particularly fucked up because you guys kill people for leaving your religion, you kill gays, you kill atheists, you kill your fellow
countrymen for believing something else, or you kill people for drawing a cartoon of a 6th century pedophile.

You either were born into Islam and are stuck with it or you have lost your mind, or both.

To be fair, Christianity was the same way until 100 years ago... killing gays, atheists, american indians, witches, blacks, etc...

It is solely due to Secular morality that these murders have ceased

secular morality? what disillusion! you are a child? Look around you! Which one? ancient greek or roman?

Specifically, USA... USA is a secular nation... with secular laws

America is not built upon religion, but upon separation of church and state

The first sentence of the first amendment to the constitution (commonly known as the bill of rights) is:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

Christians burned witches, until secular Americans stopped them, and made it illegal

Christians enslaved black people, until secular Americans stopped them, and made it illegal

Christians murdered and discriminated against homosexuals, until secular Americans stopped them, and made it illegal

Shall I continue, or do you get the point?

Secular Americans did not stop the live burning of witches nor did they make it illegal.  In fact, America didn't exist as a sovereign state during the Salem witch trials (as I'm sure you know). No witches were burned alive as English law forbade it.  Most were hanged, one was pressed to death.

edit: lol American secularism

Moloch, I'm sorry because my English is a little poor ( even that I speak other 3 language)
I'll try to answer you ( don't be offensed)
First, when you have an opinion about something, you need to know more infos about that. As I've see it  you know nothing about ( in this case) Christianity.
You hon't know what Orthodoxy means if you think that is the same with Catholicism. Of course they all are Christians but different.
The Orthodoxy represent the Early Church, they didn't change as others did.
After Great Schism the Christianity were divided in Catholicism and Orthodoxy
And then after ~500 years was another schism inside of Catholicism made by Luther and Calvin. so was born Protestantism
From the Protestants were born neo-protestants  and so on..
There are few confession and thousands of sects!
Remember that "YOU CAN'T STUDY SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND"
In my case, I know more things about Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism or Atheism because if I don't know what they are, I can be wrong.

Why animals are killing each other ? THEY ARE NOT RELIGIOUS!!

Ok, about America, ( I have nothing with American people!) You say that America is a secular country, but they goes to war in the name of PEACE! Is that mean tolerance?

You say about burned witches, I can say about paganish crimes and so on, The Bible doesn't say to kill someone, in the same way in which Peace doesn't mean war.
About homosexuality, Also I am ecologist ( do you are?) If you are, let's saying that pollution is bad, do you agree? Just answer to yourself. Homosexuality is bad for humanity in the same way, pollution is bad for Earth/Nature.
I think you accept Evolutionism, If do you accept that theory, you cannot pretend that homosexuality is good. ( I've read many books about evolutionism, I know what I'm talking! )
Some one said that 10% of Earth  

"Christians enslaved black people" and most of them (black people in this case, from America, are Christians) what a irony?!!
Ancient  empires did the same things and there was no Christianity

Vikings did the same things and they were pagans. what means that? Paganism it did? No but humans Why they killed many Christians? because of faith? No, little child, because of their resources. The northen gods have said that? No..

About discrimination, you know nothing. You think that egalitarianism can exist, but you are very wrong! On this planet we have limited resources, In the most countries socialism and capitalism exist so please tell me what means capitalism? This is why you are wrong
I say nice atheists and many violent atheists, so according to your mentality, I can say that atheism is very bad think!
Look at the northen countries from Europe ( Sweden, Norway, Danemark or Holland) they have resources, they have money, they have almost everything except liberty and morality because of their governments policies. They are socialist atheists, Do you know how many women were raped in Sweden par ex. ? Do you know how many childrens were kidnapped from their own families in Norway? No you don't!
So this is the secularism! This is the "political correctness" This means "no God"
I saw that you are a "quite" aggressive on this forum, ( currently only in speech) but you talk about peace and tolerance..hmm
Also you talk against hate, but as you talk you hate Christians.

Even I'm living in Europe, I know how the thinks works in America.

Don't forget if Clinton wins, "we'll"(you'll) go to war in the name of..political correctness, peace or whatever...

But wait, after that you'll say she is a Christian...lol...

[Blackmet]

Voted for atheism, cause religion for me it's like a good scam, people wasting a lot of money and beleiving that theirs problems will dissapear by God. No, sorry it will not happen.

Animals kill each other because they are atheists.    

[Bitware]

The teachings of Christ and the 10 Commandments are ideals and values worth believing in and give children a solid foundation - if reinforced through childhood-to-adulthood - for being law-abiding, well-behaved, hard-working, productive, kind, and charitable adults. They give people reasons to do good and be good. Some people need that reinforcement, even if it's fear of damnation. They really make for much more civil societies. For these reasons, it's irrelevant to me whether or not a God actually exists.

[angaper]

I am an Urantia Book reader, and I am convinced that it is the best religion option for these present days because it provides a new approach to the old religions under a Christian perspective and an universal spirituality.

Any book that doesn't teach the salvation of Jesus in the factual ways the Bible presents them, isn't worth it. After all, this all passes when one dies.

Any book that teaches Jesus salvation in the factual ways that the Bible presents them is unnecessary as a religious book. After all, we already have the Bible.

Try communism.  It creates very law-abiding, well-behaved, hard-working, productive, kind, and charitable adults.

The communist societies have very low crime rates, drugs use, homosexuality, child sexual abuse and prostitution are non-existent, kids excel in Math and Science, competing ideologies are banned.  Perfect world for you.  Just replace your Christian ideology with the Communist ideology.

BTW, Christians started and conducted almost all wars in human history.  All non-Christian countries were conquered by "sword and fire".

Many people died because of your cherished Christian mumbo jumbo.

Your distortion of reality is troubling. But then again you believe people can live animal stomachs for days, be risen from dead, 6000 years old, flat Earth etc.

Here is a link to refresh your Christian knowledge:

Almost nobody wants to die. But the strange fact is that everybody does die.

Better to die for cherished Christian mumbo jumbo and go to Heaven, than die without it and lose eternal life.

[Moloch]

Better to die for cherished Christian mumbo jumbo and go to Heaven, than die without it and lose eternal life.

But, what if you're wrong?

What if the Muslims chose the correct religion?

There is a thing called faith. Faith in this case revolves around "God said." When you examine the details of Christianity and Islam, you will see that Christianity has way more logic surrounding it that Islam does. Neither are completely blind faith. Yet neither present facts in ways that take them out of the faith realm entirely.

The fact that God is proven to exist by science, nature, the hearts of most people along with their thinking, shows that until you acknowledge God, you don't even have a sufficient position of authority from which you can question or compare "God" religions even though you might act like you do.

[snipie]

Well, in this poll you will know how many followers of each religion for a small and non representative number of members of btctalk because simply everyone will vote for his religion and not every btctalker is visiting this sub
Anyway let's see which one will win this

[Spendulus]

Comparing theology of both is like discussing various delusion cases at the mental hospital.  It is fun but it does not get you anywhere.  One patient thinks he is Napoleon the other thinks he is from a planet Kolob.  Bottom line is, they are both bat shit crazy.

But one might be having a lot more fun than the other.

There is no other religion that is as near to truth as these. Certainly the religion of atheism can't hold a candle to these two.

[Viyamore]

If by truth you mean the Republic of Corsican Orges on the planet of Kolob, then yes, both of these are pretty close.

What? You don't have any details about, "... the Republic of Corsican Orges on the planet of Kolob?" Check into Christianity in depth, and you will see that it fits living, life, history and the afterlife way more than any other religions, be they some group religions, or be they some personal religions.

Decker, you think I did not study it?  Fuck, I studied it plenty.  Probably more than 90% of your congregation.

I grew up with it.  Catechism was pounded into my brain from the age of 6 until about 11.  At 11-12 I could formulate arguments against it that my priest could not refute.  I was routinely thrown out of religion classes in my teenage years.  Then dropped religion all together.  I went along with attending masses and listening to the BS until I was about 18.  Only because of cute girls.  Even now, I go to church for my extended family 'functions'.  But every time I go it is getting more ridiculous...A freak show to collect money.  Many people are serious about it, some even cry in church. I stay awake, show respect by not laughing, eat the cracker and go home.

I think religion is a metal health issue.

Religion might be a mental health issue, but if it is, it is one that all people have by nature. Getting rid of it out of your life, is something that is very difficult to do... and remain alive, that is. You would have to change your nature. Since your nature is greatly controlled by your DNA, you would have to mentally change your DNA... which can be done with great difficulty. Your best bet is to accept religion, and attempt to find the truth of life. Attempting to deny the fact of religion in yourself, without changing your DNA to make it happen, is even a worse mental health issue.

Your church problems from your early years is not the way that Jesus did it. Jesus did not pound any training into anyone. In fact, Jesus was so delicate in his inviting and encouraging, that most people didn't even realize that He was calling them. It's the reason that Jesus used parables when He was speaking with the people in general. DON'T LET A BUNCH OF CATHOLIC CHURCH INDOCTRINATION STEAL HEAVEN FROM YOU. People who do it the Church way, often don't know that they are sinning.

Get a copy of the New Testament in a modern day English format. Set aside your bitterness for a while. Read the Gospels and Acts.  Better, get Bible CDs and listen to the Gospels and Acts on CD. Let God's Spirit talk to your heart.

So the faith is a mental issue? At 11-12 you could formulate arguments against it that your priest could not refute ?
I'm sorry to say but I smell people when they are lying.
So your family have mental issue right? It is about you wife? girlfriend?
 You are very funny. You made my day!

Yes.

Yet faith is what everyone lives by just to live. Why? Because nobody knows the future even one second into the future. How can we tell? Because if we knew the future, there wouldn't be any car accidents. Why not? We would know that they were coming, and we would change the way we did things to avoid them.

We all live by faith, hoping that the next thing that happens will be at least as good as the thing that just happened. But we don't KNOW that it will. We live by faith.

Who or What do we have faith in? The Guy Who set cause and effect into motion.

Not really.  I don't live by faith.  I count on my skills and I don't hope things will just happen for me. 

Hope is an indication that you have no control over your life.

I try to control what I can. I don't worry about the things I cannot control.

Well, you sorta have me there. I wasn't intending to go that deep. But what you are saying is that you don't have any worries whatsoever.

Think about this. Any decision you make is caused by stimuli, even if it is simply some food that you ate, causing certain bio-electric brain synapse firings, that wouldn't have happened otherwise. The point is, all your thinking and living has to do with the whole fantastically gigantic and complex cause and effect activity in the universe.

What does this have to do with worry? You don't have any worry. At most you have synthetic worry, simulated worry, artificial worry. Why? Because you don't have any control whatsoever. None of us do. At the core of our beings, we operate by cause and effect. Something or many things caused us to react the way we do. That's it, even though we seem to feel otherwise. At least, so says science.
