What is Christianity?

That’s fine, my Islamic counterpart, if you want to follow the prophet Mahommet. But alas, he was just that, a prophet. Same as Jesus, or Yaweh. Actually one of 40 thousand prophets. I believe God sends messengers, or shall I say, Indeed, sometimes God speaks through people. But not always, messages and truths of God come in many forms. You just need to be paying attention. Many cultures throughout time have looked at the animal kingdom for answers. Answers on community, cleanliness, etc. Prophets are really nothing more than somewhat inciteful people who have figured out how to best use words to convey an idea. Words are the vehicles of ideas and condition if not create attitudes. Some people are natural speakers, good with words and have personality. An ability to persuade others. I think some prophets have been valuable to mankind and brought good messages over time. But again, it is just a man, a perceptive man, but still just a man speaking his belief. Take heed to the good message he brings, but to worship him? No, I do not worship perceptive men who bring good messages. I do thank him for his contribution though.
The problem arises when man tries to force his belief on another. Most of religion and daily life can be delt with by principles of good decision making process….
Making Appropriate Decisions
As you think about appropriate decisions, consider the fact that many of your choices have consequences, certainly to yourself and possibly to others. As you think about decisions, consider three factors:
Responsibility. Some decisions are not really choices at all, but requirements, especially when attached to personal responsibility. If you're a parent, for instance, you must ensure the health and safety of your children. Especially consider who will be affected by your decisions and for whom you may be responsible.
Spontaneity versus Impetuousness. Sometimes there's no reason to not act on a whim or make a quick choice. Actually, it's healthy to be spontaneous at times. On the other hand, acting without thinking can be impetuous and fool hardy. As you make decisions, think about the difference between being spontaneous and being impetuous.

<quoted text>Yes, we did. Every believer has created their god in their own image. Funny how everyone's god is a manifestation of their own values system.

you think a lack of understanding forces a god into reality?
irriot
the universe had no start, it always was
I know YOU did not invent your god, you are a follower, you lack sufficient imagination and insight, you are following the god that some other invented.

a lack of understanding ! sorry I didn't get it, you speak about your self I suppose...
let me tell you that each thing that has an end has also a beggining as the earth...
"and We sent down Iron" this sentence come from, of corse, the Koran and do you know what! some researchers studying the composition of the earth and how it started discovered that Iron is a composent different from the earth and it's presence in the earth comes from the impact of meteorites of iron coming from space and so the word 'sent down' describe exactly the fact...
Mahommet (peace beeing upon him) wasn't only a good speaker but also a great genius, he discovered before 1430 years what sciences discovered in our day... unless he didn't write it himself and the koran is not a human speech...
koran(57)
25. We sent aforetime our apostles with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help, Unseen, Him and His apostles: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might (and able to enforce His Will).

You are joking right? Iron "sent" down...that vaguely resembles what actually occur ed......by that "definition" then humans, water, and ALL elements on the planet were "sent down"....this does nothing to support your claim of divine actions. The formation of all the planets was inevitable due to gravitational forces....not because some upstart mystic retrofits his claims to fit certain natural phenomenon....your claim is soooooo very weak!
