I am against it 'because we have no right to kill people. It is unethical for any doctor to declare that a patient is going to die or can't survive for long. Doctors keep on struggling to see a patient alive.So how can any one end somebodies life prematurely.It is UNETHICAL.

My religion is Islam.I believe that Islam is the right choice for me because :\n1)Islam with the holy book Al Qur'an and Hadith as an inheritance from Muhammad peace be upon him (pbuh) is the last and complete life guidance from Allah the only one God and no other god than Allah\n2)the other religion with its holy book are outdated and have many\ncontradictions and uncomplete such as Zabur,Taurat and Injil or\nBible because it have been changed by dirty hands\n3)Islam gives us a right path as our straight way which will give us all kindness and happiness in this world and kindness and happiness in eternal life after death\n4)Islam is a peaceful religion which spread out by love  and no force because islamic teaching is logic and gives us a free will\n5)Islam increased the level of recognation and honour of women\nas stated that heaven is on the foot palm of a woman and kids should first serve their mother than their father. \n6)Islam regulates social,economy,politic,management, ,law and culture that are better than the other religions which  more regula \nte for praying as a communication to God\n7)Islam is logically believe in one God who has no son,no mother and no father Allah is really only one God who has omni power.\n8)Islam is the only one religion that is accepted and blessed by Allah for our savety in our life here in this world and then in our eternal life after death if we obeyed all of Allah's instructions and prohibitions\n9)Islam gives the principles of a good living and discipline and clean life for our health and  gives the best way for our earning income and for disbursing our income\n10)Islam gives the basis for a prosperous and peaceful society in line with islamic teaching because we should work hard,pay islamic taxes and donation/alm,help the poor and orphan and make a togetherness with our family,neighbours,friends and rela tives,groups,among races and among countries.We are brothers and sisters as descendat of Adam and Eve/Hawa..

Religion is a personal choice. People have many different beliefs.\n\nThat said,I am happy with my choice. I fit my religion. I'm not fanatical about it and it is a private issue with me many times.\n\nIf there is anything I need to know or want to know,my priest is always more than happy to oblige to talk to me and/or answer my questions. \n\nIf I feel the need to be more involved and learn more,there are special meetings that are held by various organizations within the church. These usually are set up to address a specific topic.\n\nI can't think of anything that I would want to change.  I believe there are enough options and choices within my church for me to learn what I want to know about.  \n\nThe last 2 priests that we have had have been exceptionally gifted and talented and this helps to bring across a more intellectual view of the church and God. Which in turn helps me to be a more informed person.\n\nIf I think of anything I'll come back,but I really am happy with my church and I can't think of any changes that would greatly benefit the church. I think everyone is doing the right things to make our church and our religion a proud community of people.

Do you mean God is the world as a 'collective consciousness'? If this is what you mean then surely this collection of posts would just be a sample of the thoughts within this united being. And why should the one which is picked by the asker be THE word of God (the world in total)? Are not the other opinions just as valid? What if someone else asks the same question and picks a different best answer? When the best answer goes to vote, there is often not a complete 'winner',  sometimes no decision is reached at all. In that case, what would the opinion of your idea of 'GOD' be?\n\nSo no, I don't think they are the word of God, because I can't accept yourr idea of God! :)

I believe religion is fiction.  Emotion shouldn't play a part in it.  There has never been any real evidence that there is a god, the whole point of faith makes that clear.

Are you incapable of doing your own research?\n\nI don't recall that is was an assingment given to ME.\n\n*********\nHas anyone else noticed that some folks here think this is the "do my homework for me" site?\n\n*\nWell, OK, here's a place to start:\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/var_rel.htm

"Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." is a really great thesis ......... but can someobody tell me how the hell am i going to learn if i don't ask? Only fools don't ask.\n\nI believe in God, but still there are so many issues i don't understand, not just about my religion - others too (i respect each and everyone's religious choices and i want to learn about them ..... if for nothing else, then at least for the sake of debate).\n\nOne more thing, in islam we are always ordered to inquire and search for answers, we are encouraged to seek knowledge and no one will stop me but God Himself.\n\nNow, you have a nice day - great question indeed :)

GOOD QUESTION!\n\nIslam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh).\n\nQuran shows positive image of Jesus pbuh, that his coming into the world was miraculous, his deeds upon the world were spectacular, his exit from the world was mysterious, and his second coming will be awesome. \n       \nWe muslims believe that Jesus was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt). We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention. We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh). We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission. We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission. We believe that he was the "Word from God". We believe in his second coming as well. \n\n\n\nBUT WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY. We believe that he is the messenger of God almighty. \n\n\nQURAN (5:75) "Christ the son of Mary was no more than an Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!"\n\nQURAN SPEAKS ABOUT THE BIRTH OF JESUS PBUH IN (Chapter 3: verse 45-47)\n"Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. \n "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." \nShe said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!"

I'm in Matthew right now, just finished the old testament.  so zero times.  I'm a Biblical follower.  Any religion of Christianity that beleives they are right should be the same, but for some reason they divide themselves into infinite amounts of dissagreement and confusion.  They have ministers and interpereters, but there really only is the Bible to get the knowledge from.

You make an interesting point. I have made an exclusive study of the trinity in the Christian scriptures and found it to have a solid premise, albeit that particular word isn't in the bible, and neither is the concept directly addressed. I wouldn't attempt to go into it here - it's too much - and that wasn't your question. I know  little about the Hindu religion,  so I'm not really qualified to comment.  What I find interesting about your point - the trinity notwithstanding - is that Mary, the mother of Jesus is worshiped in some Christian religions, as some  pray to various saints as well. It does indeed sound like at least some Christians have more than one god. I think that's rather odd. But...I haven't answered your question. It's a bit tricky. If you were a Christian we could discuss it.

Yes of course. You should think whatever feels best to you. I do believe God is happy that everyone is worshiping Him no matter which religion they choose. I personally like to take a little taste from everything available at the religion buffet.

It's a great book, one which inspired the American Revolution (repudiated the Divine right of kings to rule without consent of the governed).\n\nAlso, to do good with all one's wisdom and strength is the highest religion.  And the doctrine of a savior is unjust: no honest man can accept another's dying for him.\n\nThese were (and are) revolutionary concepts which helped change the history of our early republic.

This has nothing to do with Islam, you don't judge a religion by looking at people but by reading its teaching. I don't judge Christianity or Judaism or any other religion by looking at our society.

i believe in Life, Love and Oneness. no need to call it a religion, because religions can seperate and create disharmony. yet, i don't judge anothers view point. if believing what they believe makes them feel good, and keeps them doing good things for others, then it is doing something good. but it is also smart to expand your mind, to open up to other possibilities, and to respect all of life.\ni know, i feel what is true for me. "God" is the creator. and we are also creators, but on a smaller scale. collectively we are a part of God. Energy. Divinity. Life.\n\n*peace

yup, that's why there are so many different branches of basically the same religion, mormons, jesuit, RC, church of england, jehova's witnesses, ahmish, methodists etc etc. They all follow certain parts of the bible more than others. I've always wondered whether what is written down is accurate or happened at all. A good similie would be chinese whispers on a massive scale. Personally I don't believe in any of it, a massive sceptic here. If there is only one god, why are there so many different religions? Why don't we all believe the same thing?
