Title: RE: Australian Expressing Sadness + Something to think about

What fascinates me is that in theory there is only one God, it's just a matter of how one worships. Yet, understanding must be the key because more people have been killed and more wars fought with religion as the foundation than any other reason. Understanding others beliefs is the key, yet since man stood up and learned to speak and communicate, we still have a problem trying to understand other people's beliefs and point of view. It is my opinion that little improvement in human understanding exists nor will it ever. Everytime it appears that the Israelis and the Arabs are about to declare peace, it NEVER happens. Ofcourse, this comes from a Jew who is agnostic for sure and maybe atheistic.

Last night while watching my son at Pop Warner football practice, this tragedy was of course the topic of conversation.  It's amazing to me how many experts there are. 

One guy was talking about why Muslims hate Christians.  Being pretty damn ignorant, I decided to do a little research this morning, and found this site - www.islam-guide.com.  Maybe it's watered down a bit, and it doesn't explain religious fanaticism.  But at least I understand their religion a little bit better. 

Just thought I throw this out.  At least for me, education and understanding goes a long way.

On top of Revelation, the book of Daniel also makes for an interesting
read.

I'm not going to use this forum (or my employer's time) to proselytize.
I would just encourage those who do not believe that the Bible is the
word of God to maybe reconsider when Israel becomes involved in an
all-out war in the Middle East. If I'm wrong and the war never happens,
you can thumb your nose at me and laugh. But if I'm right and the war
DOES happen, grab yourself a Bible and start reading it with the state
of mind that it may not just be a book full of fiction after all.
Intellectuality and faith are not mutually exclusive.

That's all I'm going to say on the matter, so please withhold the flames
(unless you want to send them to me personally off the list).

Hi People,
I'd just like to express sadness to all the people in the US effected by
the attacks on US.  I think it's disgusting and should be punished.
While people everywhere are in a state of shock/uncertainty/fear it's
worth thinking about where each of us are going to spend our eternal
destiny.  The Bible predicts basically a World War 3 where everyone will
attack Israel and try to wipe them off the face off the earth...
Revelation is an interesting book to read through........ Have a good
day (and think about the following excert). Regards Matthew
