Dynaco, although not religious by any means I must insist that you have no place to imply that religion is "bad". I will not say that it is "good" either. Yes, it causes many problems, but it also leads many to healthy, productive lives. I was merely pointing out that the passage stated *proves* nothing, not saying he's wrong.
I fully agree. Although, all this religious warfare was prophecised by Jesus on that Mountain. "Wars and rumors of wars."
Also, the Bible traces these religious wars all the way back in Genesis. The Arabs vs. Jews things began with Ismail and the kingdom of Islam and the Bible says that everyone of Ismail will always have his hand raised against his brother. Sounds like today. The Arabs are always disagreeing and fighting people. Not to say that the Isrealis and even Christians didn't do their fair share of unnecessary violence.
However, at church, the preacher made a pretty good statement- when an Arab kills for his god, he is serving his god. When a Christian or Jew kills for his god, he is disobeying his god. Just some food for thought, I guess....
I know, I'm not a deeply religious person either. However, I dig history and am a big advocate of the Bible and its accurate history (and predictions).

Although not an advocate for *anything* religious, as you are the bible, I certainly think that it should be read by anyone curious about it's teachings. I mean, it's good to experience all walks of life before you decide which one is right for you. I have been going to church for all of my life, and I do not agree with a lot of the churches teachings, but that's just me. I mean, a lot of others do, and that's great.
And Dynaco, once again, if I were you, I'd shut up before you get a bunch of Zealots screaming at you for your "heathen ways"

HAHA! On your first paragraph- I totally agree! I think that one should experience life to its fullest before making a commitment to any kind of lifestyle. I was forcefully raised Catholic and only recently became Born Again.
Even now, though, I have yet to conform totally to the lifestyle. There are many things that I have yet to get out of my system
I've actually studied Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Judhaeism <sp?>. I think all but Islam are really good blueprints for how to live a life considered "clean and good." Not knocking Islam... but cutting off non-believers' heads with swords doesn't sound inviting....
As for the last paragraph- it's too bad people can't be a bit more open-minded and blindly flame someone just because they sway a different way. Although I am guilty of that from time to time
I'm thinkin...

uhm... if your referring to revelations... that was a prophecy. It didn't happen
It hasn't happened yet. I don't know if any of you have heard of the series of "Left Behind" books but they are based on Revelations. These prophecies may come to pass, maybe not in our life time but at some point in the future. And after reading the first nine books ( with more still to come) I gotta be honest, some of this stuff scares the piss outta me.

yes it *MAY* come to pass. But I could very well say that Marty McFly *MAY* blast from the past into my neighborhood and hand over the keys to his DeLorean Time Machine. See, I got to make a point and mention one of my favorite movies in the same post 
And Col. Dom, when you were referring to my "last paragraph" directed at Dynaco, were you talking about what I said or what Dynaco said?

Yeah, it suckz when others use fear to get people to believe their beliefs.
As for when the prophecies shall occur, the Bible says four generations after Isreal becomes a nation. A lot of people are saying that is four generations since 1948, when Isreal was made a recognized nation. Some still say it's four generations from when "God's Children," (believers) come together and form a church-state.
I wasn't referring to Revelations, Mav. I think it was John or something. When Jesus was on the mountain with his disciples!
We need Preacher on this, as he no doubt has more knowledge on this than I. Where is he when ya' need him!?

HAHAHA! Good job incorporating your favorite movie! Quite clever
Oh! I was talking about what you said- the zealots thing....
And regarding the Zealot's line, I wasn't really serious... I just couldn't think of anything else to say - Status
