What would you expect????

bird123 @bird123 (10643) • United States 9 Apr 11

If you ran into God, what would you expect??? A Mighty Ruler?? A Strict Parent Type?? One Who Has No Mercy for Sinners?? One Who Expects You To Be Perfect?? One Who Loves You With The Conditions That You Sin No More And Accept...

Makro74 First of all, you would not 'run' into God, you would be on a spritual evolution to believe in God and that evolution would determine what and how you see God. This is the spritual evolution which God draws Himself to those who seek Him. This is the path which...

Obama Says We Are Not At War in Libya

Netsbridge @Netsbridge (3253) • United States 23 Mar 11

President Barack Obama just said we are not at war in Libya. I guess killing and being killed in Libya is not enough and they may be under the impression that we all are without a mind of our own!

Makro74 Well, war or even a fight is one which is a near level playing field. With Libya it is like playing soccer where Libya is the goalkeeper, whilst the other side has full team! Lets get real. If we as adults slap a five year old, that is all it is a slap. Not...

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." That was said by "candidate" Obama...

Makro74 Whilst I agree in spirit what is happening in Libya is wrong, I am actually almost applauding Obama's stance of the way he has not taken the gun-ho attitude his predecessor had. Much of the diplomacy he has left to Mrs Clinton, and the administration is clear...

When do you call it a war?

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 22 Mar 11

I'm honestly baffled by how some on the left in this country are insisting that firing missiles at a foreign country is NOT an act of war. By that definition I guess it was not an act of war when the Japanese attacked Pearl...

Makro74 Hi Taskr, Well, to put it midly, I am sure you would not find the UK or the US fighting a 'real' war. They are far too cowardly for that. When the Russians totally flattened Chechneya, the Americans didn't raise an eyebrow. Remember Georgia. Americans...

Violence in the name of religion

advokatku @advokatku (4033) • Indonesia 13 Feb 11

Violence in the name of religion is the most foul of human tragedy, the most weight also the most destroyed of solidarity among mankind. In many instances in some countries, general government and law enforcement agencies...

Makro74 This is a very good discussion point, and comes from a very good angle. For most discussions on religous violence focus on violence and the religion as if they were intrinsicably linked. In this case, you have distanced the two. Firstly, we must remember...

What if you turned out to be a prophet?

kendedes2011 @kendedes2011 (2712) • Indonesia 25 Jan 11

For example, God actually came to you and give his saying to you about the truth (you get a job like previous prophets who preach God's command and the command is somewhat different to that previously existing) things delivered...

What was going on in the rest of the Earth when Adam & Eve were in the

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 19 Jan 11

Garden of Eden? How long were they there? How many kids did Adam and Eve have other than Cain, Abel and Seth? Did Abel or Seth ever marry? How much time was there between Adam & Eve being thrown out of the Garden of...

Makro74 When we talk of the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve, and the aspects of creation, we must not take the Biblical accounts literrally as Adam and Eve were the first humans on the planet! When put in the grand scheme of things, the logical explanation is...

One religion = world peace?

joedollarhuat @joedollarhuat (580) • Philippines 7 Jan 11

Greetings I just thought of this topic a few moments ago. The world as we know it has a lot of disputes regarding religion. Some people go to war because of religion (jihad). Some people commit suicide due to religion. The...

Makro74 I would put it rather differently yet come to the same conclusion. I have written on this topic many times but again it cannot be understood from the standpoint of human actions in this world. Firstly, we must understand the concept of religion -...

Why do many people who argue about religion? What's the point?

gengeni @gengeni (3308) • Indonesia 18 Dec 10

Makro74 I think your question was sufficient food for thought. I suppose it depends at the outset of what you percieve as arguing. To me their is a difference between arguing and debating, which you do not mention in your piece, but you focus it on the...

Who is more important to you God or your family?

spiderlizard22 @spiderlizard22 (3444) • United States 29 Nov 10

Do you care about your children more then God or God more then your children? Would you kill your children if God asked you to?

8 responses

Makro74 First of all, if you believe in GOd and understand the meaning of worship, you would not be asking this question. God cannot be compared to children as they are completely two very distinct leagues. One is worldly the other is unimaginable infinity. But...

Why didn't Jesus write the Bible????

bird123 @bird123 (10643) • United States 27 Nov 10

Many claim that Jesus is God. At the very least they claim Jesus is the son of God. Since we are all children of God, I go along with son of God. If Jesus is God, like many claim, that would make Him very very smart. This brings...

Makro74 'Many people claim Jesus is God. At the very least they claim Jesus is the Son of God' Firstly, only Christians believe in the above. I for one, believe in in Jesus but not as a God or a son of God, but His Messenger like all those before him. Therefore it...

Do Muslims feel welcome on Mylot?

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 27 Nov 10

After reading and being involved in many conversations on mylot about "terrorism" and religious fanatics, I have seen my fair share of Islamophobia. Do mainstream Muslims feel comfortable here on Mylot, or have we estranged...

Makro74 I suppose this is the irony. Whereever terrorism crops up, we seem to flash at Muslims and Islamic so and so. Welcome is probably not the word, it is their right to come on here and raise the flag for the truth whether it be for Christians, Hindus, Jews or...
