Originally posted by Alliancebest question I heard from anyone here. You see Im not saying my religion is better than all other religions which im aware of. I was raised to belive Jesus, almight god, the holy bible, the virgin mary ((saints)), and all. The other gods from other religions are not up to me to think if there real or not, the only god i must think of and always is Jehova ((god)). The buddhist, Muslims, Jews, ect. all have their own beliefs and bibles or some sort of readings but its not really what im suppose to belive. Jews are very strict against our religion just like you who dont belive in god or jesus. They belive their own things which i dont know nothin about. I just keep on following my religion and follow.
Most peole I knwo exhibit some form of agnosciticsm, I my self am athiest. I dont see how you can believe in faith. I know what god is to many people becuase I actually ask questions instead of just assuming I'm right. Evil is a point of view, of course Chirstian indocrination makes those who do not believe out to be evil, its the only way to keep membership and to keep te masses in line. Most poele I knwo who do "evil" things are people who are more religious than I am.If you know no other relgion, how can you know yours is better? And since every other god in history is fictional (and there are quite a bit), what makes yours so true?
Originally posted by Lord UrizenAnother good question and comment. Of course i would never forget that bastard Franco pizzaro but in the end, we were all left with The catholic religion which we should all think about of him for. I myself think that he should suffer for his sins killing the incans who have done nothing but live. But if it werent for the conquistadores, we would right now belive in the sun as a god. How would we know how it would be if we have neverr thought of the sun being a god to us modern people anyways?
No Offense, but ofcourse you are Catholic, you are Peruvian.I am 1/4 Peruvian, and i know very well that almost every other South American is Catholic and raised to only think in such limitted ways.
How do you know who God is? Your version of God is slightly different from the Jewish, Muslim, and Protestant versions of God. Every religion claims they know the truth, what makes yours so special?
Again, like Alliance and Debbiejo said, how do you know your religion to be the TRUE one if you never were exposed to the teachings and realities of other religions? How can you make your conclusion without comparing and contrasting?
And i really hope that you do not beleive that your Church is infallible and that your Pope is infallibe either. PLEASE tell me you are fully AWARE of the atrocities that your church has committed throughout history, because then that may render your hypocrisy non existant.
And I hope you do not forget how the Catholic Spaniards basically "raped" the Incan Culture in so many ways, including melting numerous golden treasures of the Incas to fkn gold blocks. And if Catholicism is so great, then why is the racism in Peru still so strong? Why are "cholos" , "meztizos", "negros", y todo los personas que no es blanco, treated with much less respect than all the white Peruvians that reside there????
FYI, im aware of other religions of course. I explained in the upper post.
I dont know about the racism in Peru. Theres colored and tan people in Peru. Some are white but I never ever seen or heard of racism in my country at all. We all just had problems back in the days of fujimori with terrorism intyo the american embassy of Peru which help people hostage for 3 weeks or i think it was months i forgot. anyways, I donno about the racism ya know.
