I agree with Ryan. Being able to agree to disagree is one thing, but this would be sheer disrespect.

I thought this was a joke when I first heard about this but in the past couple weeks, I've read and heard some amazing/backstabbing politicians in this process. How can this be even a thought or even considered to be a logical plan?? It's just wrong in SO many ways.

THATS why it shouldn't be "religion", but "relationship". Religion is governed by God but ran by man, which allows many areas to screw up. I don't believe in following a religion. I believe in following Christ, which begins with relationship.

I've found that, the newer the version, the more it's twisted. I've seen many verses taken out of the NIV. I WISH I knew how to read Hebrew.

Man I don't know. I could see it going either way. Rampage will HAVE to be on his game, unlike his last fight

Religion kills people like butter knives made Rosie Odonell fat! Lot's of people have died in the worlds existence. Millions of people have been victims of tragedy. But masking mistaken concepts with false labels doesn't change the facts. If someone chooses not to believe in Christ and God's plan that is simply their free will. Nothing comes without a price. Few rewarding actions come from little sacrifice. God's define plan rewards those that put continuous effort into it. I think people need to step back and not judge God and individuals based on other individuals actions. God doesn't fault you for others decisions so why must you fault him the same. I'm an American and I love my country. I don't approve of every Americans decisions. But they are still Americans and I'm still an American. I'm just not liable for their actions. Think of Christianity the same. It's ones personal relationship with Christ. Just as all Americans are not identical the same is true about Christians. Don't get caught up in masks such as, language, interpretation, labels, and various other sources that contaminate the underlying purpose. Kyle, your correct about peoples choices and their free will. Gods (I'm thinking you meant "devine" plan) devine plan rewards people who put effort to His plan. Judging God doesn't matter, well cause He's God. Bible says to test Him though. I feel you need to judging people based on their actions. Not in a condemning way but a Christ-like attitude. As a Christian, I tend to judge other Christians in that manner (I try too though). Also, as a Christian (under construction), I would hope Ryan and other Christians would do the same for me. Let me know where I'm going wrong and hold me accountable. In the same note, if your not a Christian and see money hungry preachers and hypocrite Christians, please don't assume that's how all Christians act. Like you said, it's all about someones personal relationship with Christ. We just can't confuse "relationship" for "convenience".

Well said. I think, if someone is comfortable with their "religion", it would turn into a respectable debate vs. Offensive/offended. I honestly don't think anyone on here is trying to offend anyone. I feel that if you (me too) feel offended, then it should be perceived as one who is passionate in their belief instead of an intended offensive comment. Hope that made sense, it sounded right in my head

Catholicism is a whole other ball of wax. Hitler claimed to be Roman Catholic, as you say. If he was a true Roman Catholic, he would believe that God entered the world thru the incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ. With that said, Christ preached love. That would lead me to believe that Hitler was clinched to his "religion" with NO relationship. He could claim to be 10 feet tall but doesn't mean he actually is. (no disrespect on that last statement. Just a corny analogy)

Religion, in itself, is the problem. From Muslim to Christianity. It's not about the religion but the relationship. So, yes, religion is a killer. Thanks Ryan!
