i chose christian, most i agree with, but i also understand how all the generalizations are perceived against them, i guess all faiths are susceptible to preset expectations?

then things would get nasty, it doesn't seem many are fond of roman catholicism, but themselves.

personally i'd like to see more on the quakers, now that's a fun denomination, i'd have to go to spokane though, that's the closest house of worship they have.

they were the group that gave the puritans the finger, resorting to a more negotiable approach as to what Gd and Christ symbolize for believers, not the restrictive cruelty pushed by a branch of the religion that did hang people...mr. fox was ahead of his time.

the puritans were some crazy scary people! but they did produce nathanial hawthorne, so their nastiness yielded some good results. i'd say protestants are on the list of favorites, but they ended up as nasty a group as the roman catholic church that they took a stand against, but at least they got back to the bible and away from the idols.

Yeah they got away from Idols, that must be why they worship thier preachers, prayer cloths, absolution water, money, etc so much.

what type of worship service do you go to?

it sure wasn't a Friends meeting...quaker tenets of belief

are you talking about the big mega churches? The may be big on the contributions, but the only other place I've witnessed those sort of requirements for worship were catholic mass and ceremonial magics?

i've not once seen Pastor Hagee wear anything or sprinkle anyone with anything, and Pastor Jakes preaches about a lot, but mostly it's "only a sinner can save a sinner" i've not once heard him suggest we do anything other than look for the bundles of grain that are dropped for the faithful to find.

however, those are hardly a fair comparison for most of the average American congregations I've come across, I've sat through a variety of churches and their services to find one that suits me, the messianic group was by far the most jovial, and i enjoyed the Davidical approach they showed in their celebration of Gd with dance and prayer, the reading was a short history of the Jewish holiday Shavuot, read out of the bible and a discussion about how Jesus would have celebrated such a festival, followed by a potluck of delicious, kosher dishes and dance lessons.

the most personal i had is the home church that i used to go to, they spent more time celebrating the family together under Gd, with a potluck and prayer than hellfire and brimstone, the last time i was required to kneel to anyone not a god was communion, i turned to witchcraft shortly there after.

Those who look to crosses, priests or other man made objects and subjects as necessary tenets of worship, make me wonder if they have ever read their bible... anyone that willingly accepts Jesus and worships Gd would understand that worship isn't in a church, led by a priest or even passing around money, it's about celebrating what was done for us with those of like mind and inclination.

there are churches and people who seem to accept that through materialism is the only way to please Gd and follow Christ, but if they read their bibles, they'll find most of it's hogwash, even Gd gets on about what horrible things priests can be in Hosea and constantly points out Israel's failure choosing to follow the material presentations of worship; anything and anyone that presents themselves as a representative of The Almighty rather than thinking with their hearts about who or what is driving the religious leaders of the day.

an idol is anything that is worshiped in place of The Lord, that one thing you can't live with out, if they can't live without "preachers, prayer cloths, absolution water, money" than in my opinion, they're not being very Christ like.

the Amish, Hutterites and Menonites exist just fine without those needs too, we have a lot of Hutterites around here, they raise amazingly fantastic fowl!

i lookd at the link .. what Muslims are known for.. well there are things writtn wrong for us (i am Muslim) just wanna share wth u ..

it says that Muslim are known for their terrorist activities..well actually it "seems" quite true when we look at the media or the ppl who thinks they are "muslims"..
first of all my religion forbit violance or harshness.. how can a true Muslim do such kind of activities ?? in addition, not all but there are some "Islamic" countries whose rules are "depended" on our holy book Quran. i ve read the Quran many many times but i didnt see any phrase saying the fingers of the thiefs shud be cutted.. they all crazy i mean what they do is not wriiten in our book at all..

practicing self-hypnosis which is induced by
frenzied dancing and chanting.

This is again the thing which Muslims actually dont do.. i dont know why it it written here i dont even like dancing


giving no warning and their delight in killing innocents.
yeah that is the funniest one... am not terrorist and i dont like killing ppl except for innocents haha

their violence :: for the god sake the book says no violance.

massacring their adopted countrymen in their
adopted homelands.
for what ?? huh ??


inferior status to women and permitting polygamy, well actually there are many phrases our probhed told us about women.. for instanece "paradise is under the feet of women" so even the holiest thing i mean our aim is under the feet of women, how they can be inferior ?? and there is no polygamy.


i ve read the other religions too but i ve no idea if there are some mistakes like happend wth my religion..
anywayyy... am a gud person not killer

If muslims are forbidden to do violence, then why did Muhammad advocate murdering jews and people who saw as infidels?

well, as you know, at least i hope u know, the religion was accepted by wars i mean if the x nation coquer the y notion, it was supposed that "y" nation accepts their religion too.

by the way, Mohammed (peace be upon him) never murdered anyone. if you are sure that he did, thn send me a specific book or link tht writes he did ok ? so i can explain you. he had battles against infidels, as all the prophets did, he just explained the beauty of islam to his prisoners.

if any of u have some questions u re welcome

i'm wondering if the muslim religion is suffering from the same problem of fundamental freaks that ruin the basic tenets of christianity for one and all, so emersed in their own egotism that they fail to realize the damage they're doing to a faith they say the follow, but hold none of the key concepts in their heart?

Gd won me with honey and sweets, all the hellfire and brimstone did was make me hate those who were hating me...and that resolved nothing.

Anyway, there's no Wiccan, so I'm just going to comment on the muslim one.

their terrosit activity.


Ah good old terrorism =)


practicing self-hypnosis which is induced by



They do that? How scary!





their intensive love of Prophet Muhammad (peace
and blessings be upon him).



Haha it's true. God bless them



their compassion and mercy for the human family.
giving no warning and their delight in killing innocents.


Isn't this very oxymoronic?



their generosity and hospitality.
massacring their adopted countrymen in their
adopted homelands.

And that aswell?

Yes, they are.

The sad thing is no one really notices. Islam was actually made to break barrier of sexism. Unfortunately, sexist companions have twisted this meaning, and it turned out very much the opposite =/

It's a sign of respect,- not saying or typing the full name unless in a religious situation.

According to my highschool English teacher, you shouldn't write GOD on any medium that may be erased because you potentially destroy gods name. -_-

Though, it can also be viewed as a sign of disrespect because who wants his name to have missing letters?

g_rg_yl_^^ ugh.
