    For Christians: Is the Bible important to you?

    The bible is a collection of Myths nothing more special than that. There is truth in myth, that is the universal truth (or maybe better said the essence). But other than that there is not scientific fact, nor is there guidance for every aspect of life. The bible is inspired but it is inspired...

    Is There A Universal Soul?

    If you are speaking of a universal essence that holds all together that could be termed as G-d then possibly, if you are speaking a universal essence that everyone recognizes and identifies as the same thing, then probably not...the reason being is that every group would probably define this as...

    Religious hatred and intolerance

    I honestly think that the place that the 'new religion' will be hammered out is within a combination of religion, science, philosophy, and the arts. Possibly taking place upon the net like this, but to just happen on the net means nothing, the movement when it happens needs outside momentum...

    Eschatology

    No real need for discussion from Christianity on the 'end times', most thoughts are based upon the book of Revelation which was never intended to be a book for the future. It was a letter to the church's saying to hang in there. The only other verse's you can go to are the ones where Jesus...

    Religious hatred and intolerance

    Most monotheistic religions are naturally violent, each group has violence sanctioned by God to use against individuals and nations. In the Christian faith the most fundamental doctrine (at least for orthodox and fundemantal Christianity) is the doctrine of the 'atonement', that is the death of...
