Right and wrong are engrained in us as humans admittedly due to effects of social acceptance and interaction however they still stand as the most purest form of morals and social behaviour we have.

For e.g

I was wondering: how does Deism affect or influence your moral and ethical decision making, if at all? What impacts can Deism have on sound morals and ethics?

Honestly, the Pope's decision has not had any impact on my life or family. I think it is an interesting side story, particularly that it has been centuries since a Pope has resigned. I read an article that said he was doomed from the beginning because he did not have the intellect or charisma of John Paul II.

I'm just totally speaking for myself here and not trying to be rude or anything. Most of the Christians around where I live are not Catholic and I'm pretty sure aren't concerned one way or the other with the pope. I'm obviously not Catholic and have never been and never could be. I don't believe in Bible prophecy or the last days or that we need anyone to act as a liaison of sorts between us and God. It also bothers me a lot that the Pope...

So yesterday the Pope quits his job, which has caused a big stirring in the world around us. Most especially for those of us that have friends & spouses that are Christian.

This thought might help you when it comes to your fear of God's wrath if you choose wrong. Ask yourself if you are afraid of not believing in Allah.

Nice article. Thanks for sharing. Below are some of my thoughts.

Since being raised in a "revealed" religion (Roman Catholic), I guess I have always believed in god. As a teen, I began to question catholicism, but never the existence of god, so when a girlfriend's parents began to tell me that I could "know for sure" that I was going to heaven, if I just became born again, it was an easy transition. I found in my new religion acceptance,...

Hello, I found this site on the recommendation of a friend. As long as I can remember, I have been comfortable with my spirituality (thank you mom and dad). In the past, the idea of publicly sharing my beliefs with others put me off because it seemed too much like preaching and evangelism. But now I realize that I can share my thoughts without the stigma that I associated with organized religion. Thank you to everyone who makes this site...
