Whats my problem with religion is the close-mindedness that comes wit it for many religious ppl. They also refuse to accept that their religion is less than 100%  true and refuseto admit that religion is relly not the "divine word of god" at all, its just a bunch of stories meant to help u live righteously. But if they accept that, they'll know the basis for their beliefs are false and that defeats the whole purpose, LOL. But Hinduism iz da bomb, cuz its not as much a religion as it is a WAY OF LIVING...words of the wise. peace.

Actually, you're very closed minded.  The only religons that are acceptable to you, are the ones where the people admit they're wrong? LOL So, in other words, they're close-minded, if they won't accept your opinion of the religion? You're just as bad as they are!

So, because they have a different opinion on a topic than you, you can trash them? That's not right.

It is wrong to "Trash" religion, and other peoples views.  There is noting wrong with asking questions about religion, debating views in an intellegent and mature manner.  But simply coming off trashing and insulting religon/God or views of other people is wrong and very ignorant, peace

Yeah, exactly.  I love when people ask questions about my religion, no matter what they are, because it gives me a chance to express my views on it.  I don't mind people saying "But wasn't the bible changed?" or "So yall used to have several wives?" or "How do we know the book of mormon wasn't just fake stories Joseph Smith wrote?" None of those bother me at all.  I'm talking about people just telling you you're stupid for being religious, or whatever.  Peace~

Who you been dealing with? LOL Most good religious people I know would never tell you you were going to hell because you're not religious, or criticise you because you're not religious.  Have I ever done that to you?  It's FAITH, your faith is you don't wanna be religious, that's exactly the same as my choice to be religious.  I'm not gonna hate on you just because you're not religious.  

youre really gonna tell me that it isnt the Christian belief that non-believers will go to hell?

I dunno, i dont look down on any of the religious cats on here...as long as they accept my beliefs also. I dont agree with alot of the stuff that some religions say...buti dont think youre necessarily wrong for believin them either. Ive alwayz thought, whateva makes YOU a better person...u should do, whether it be religion...or whatever.

I'm a christian, and I don't think you go to hell for not being a christian.  Does that answer your question?

Trauma, could you briefly explain what the Church of Latter Day Saints believe about life after death for nonbelievers such as Muslims?  Because.... other sections of Christianity have always taught that you must accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior to be "saved" and go to heaven.

Sure.  Latter Day Saints believe that after you die, souls arrive at a sort of spirit world, where they are ministered to, etc. by representatives of Christ (Adam, Peter, Paul, Moses, etc) all the great missionaries of all time.  On the other side, there won't be the veil that covers us here on earth, we'll all realize Christ's importance, etc. and you will still have the opportunity to become a christian after you've died.  

In other words, being a muslim or a member of another religion while on earth doesn't automatically sentence you to hell, or make me or other members any better than you.


The Lord is more interested in your righteousness than he is in whether you sniffed out the right religion while on earth.

Thanks, I know you've told me that before but now I'll remember it.

^^well, if thas true...then thats cool. But ive just heard so many Christians tell me the opposite. Even on this board (which isnt always a good measure of people). Ive had them tell me time and again, that whether you accept Jesus or not, is what determines you entering Heaven or Hell. And what u do on this Earth, basically has very little to do with anything. You can murder someone, and then "turn your life around" and accept Jesus Christ...and u will, or may make it to Heaven. But, u could be a peaceful, loving, caring person who spends their life helping others...and NOT be Christian, and it doesnt matter...you still wont make it to Heaven.

I dont know if youre correct as to the beliefs of Christianity, or they are. Thats just what ive always heard from other Christians.
