31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

A version of the "golden rule" is in every religion.

Most people do know of the Ten Commandments.

That’s why many people think there is perhaps something special about them, and why they have permeated and influenced so many over hundreds of years after they were written.

Maybe the world would be a better place if people didn't eschew history and philosophy. The Ten Commandments weren't God's instructions to Christians. They were God's instructions to Abraham long before there was a Christ, and went on to be central to Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

Christ has always existed.

There are three pillars to the Trinitarian understanding of God’s nature.

Only one true God exists, who is Yahweh (YHWH) of the Old Testament or theos of the New Testament—the Creator of all that exists.
God includes three divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father or Holy Spirit, and the Spirit is not the Father or the Son.
These three distinct (but not separate) persons equally share the one divine being, God, and that they are eternal, co-equal and co-essential. Thus, God is one in essence and one in being, but exists in three persons. (We must always be careful not to understand the “Persons” of the Godhead like persons in the human sphere, where one person is separate from another.)

God sent Jesus in form of Man to teach and gather the lost Jewish people.

It speaks to how powerful the Ten Commandments are if they are central to the 3 major religions of the world.

These are CHristian beliefs. There is no evidence that Christ, or any person, always existed.

That Jesus Christ actually existed as a historical figure is totally irrelevant to whether he is an incarnation of a supreme being.

Modern scholarship has almost universally acknowledged the authenticity of the reference in Book 20, Chapter 9, 1 of the Antiquities to "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James", and considers it as having the highest level of authenticity among the references of Josephus to Christianity.

People who don’t believe Christ was the Son of God have that right.

But modern scholars and historians agree, with few exceptions, he walked the earth.

Atheists care about what THEY believe is true.

They don’t give others the same choice.

Why do you care what I believe?

It’s so important that my personal beliefs and yours differ?

Grow up. People believe as they wish and your opinion doesn’t change that.

Different poster. It does matter to me the minute your religious beliefs start to interfere with my freedoms. Other than that, have at it. I enjoy the stress free shopping on Sunday morning when the masses are at church.

Religion is un-constitutional, not productive, and un-American?

So you really don’t believe religion and belief is a privately held conviction and choice protected by the Constitution?

You reveal yourself. You don’t like others right to worship as they choose.

Glad you openly admitted it.

No, they care about what is actually true.

Are you saying what is factually true can differ from person to person?

I don’t care what you do as long as you keep it to yourself. Certainly don’t bring religion into government or public schools.

No, I thought the entire world agrees on everything and we all have the same opinions.

Scientists and doctors have different opinions on virtually everything.

Your search for absolute truth is a sham.

Yes, hear that latest debate on gravity? Both sides had some weighty points.

You absolutely know scientists disagree on thousand of things, as do medical doctors, philosophers, historians, teachers, policy makers, researchers, etc.

On DCUM, I wish Jeff will remove Religion forum posts from Recent Topics so we don’t have to see the religious nuts get all frothy over atheism and other annoying topics. But it’s his website so he can do what he wants.

How dare religious people discuss religion in a religion forum! Very inappropriate.

Still waiting for examples of how my religious beliefs impact you.
