    I'm offended, you left out Agnostic, which is a very common and important faith.

    As for me, I'm Gnostic.

    On the subject of religion: man can only conceive of what he can sense.

    my friend in our religion we obey what the bible say, specially the word of OUR God in the Bible, like this in the king james version "Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
    Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
    Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
    Matthew 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
    Matthew 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
    Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." if only we people are with the same religion that will obey this commandment of God, do you think we still need police, judge, prisons. or other anti terrorism? the only reason why this world is being corrupted because of the devil using human, and Our God already know what will happen in the furure so he command his desiples to wrote it, so his people will be aware or ready for it, from the king james version bible "2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
    2Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
    2Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
    2Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
    2Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
    2Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
    2Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

    "Rome 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
    Rome 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
    many people in this world donot obey this commandent if you really undersand this even you are not a christian and don't believe in the bible, for a minute ask you heart, this word of the true Christian God in the bible is really againts the flesh, because many people like to kill people especially their enemies, like to do wrong to other people, but the True christian God command that you have to love you your enemies, i always say that "true christian" because there are many king of christian many says that they are the true christian the true fallowers of Jesuschrist but donot obey the commandment of God, if we all people will follow the God there will be true peace on earth...

    Bro the Holy books of all religion preach peace ....
    The Bible, The Gita , The Quran each of em preaches peace ...
    You say you follow it, but does every christain follow it.
    I strictly believe in Individualism :) , for example if the national cricket team of a country loses a match ? Does it mean the Whole country is a Loser ?? NO ...
    Similarly, you follow what the bible preaches .. but what's the guarantee that every single Christain follows it ?? NO ..
    That's it ... am justified I guess ...

    Kawikaan,

    You are quoting many scriptures but do you know the true meaning of each scripture? I could post the whole Bible if I wish but that would be pointless. You must have the ability to reason on every scripture that you quote. Otherwise, you are acting on blind faith.

    Funny that! What you said about not every one following Christ's teachings. Not many will. In fact it is prophecy in Matthew 7:13-14 is where Jesus said "Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it"

    "Galacia 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
    " even in the true christian time inside the church there are also a false brethren specially now...

    Kawikaan,

    Read this below,

    They Stopped Walking on the Broad Road

    Tom writes: “In the mid-70’s, we came in contact with Jehovah’s Witnesses when one of them called at our home. The discussion led to a study of the Bible. Step-by-step I began to clean up my life. I was baptized in 1982 and am now serving in the local congregation. Our son too is now baptized. I thank my wife for putting up with me for all those years before I learned the truth. And above all I thank Jehovah and his Son, Christ Jesus, for all they have given us and for the hope we now have for the future.”

    And what about Mary? Well, she felt that God would never forgive her, but she wanted to learn about him for the sake of her children. When she heard that Jehovah’s Witnesses were teaching her neighbor the Bible, she too asked for help. However, her ingrained bad habits made progress difficult. The study swung through highs and lows. Her little seven-year-old daughter, though, kept her going. “Come on, Mom. You can do it!” she would say. Then Mary would try harder.

    When her common-law husband, also a drug abuser, returned home, he too joined in the study. Eventually both conquered their bad habits. Then, after legalizing their marriage and submitting to baptism, they experienced great happiness and felt like a real family for the first time. Sadly, AIDS finally took Mary’s life, but she died with her heart fixed on the Bible’s promise of a resurrection and life on a paradise earth, cleansed of every trace of the malignant broad road.

    Yes, it is possible to get off the broad and spacious road that leads to destruction. Christ Jesus said: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) Why not, then, resolve to set your feet on the narrow path that leads to life? By taking to heart and applying what you learn from God’s Word, you may personally experience the Bible’s heartwarming promise: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”—John 8:32.

    Kawikaan,

    Yep. Just got home from being all day with my friends. You are absolutely correct. Welcome to the beginning of finding out the truth. It is probably best if we correspond via email from now on if that is alright by you. You can most certainly find out about my faith. But, are you willing to listen with an open mind? If you are, then send me an email and we can continue our discussion.

    Col
