i was under impression that greeks and greek cypriots are very religious than rest of the europe..
coz if you see churches in easter and christmas they are filled up . no place even out side

regarding religious belief , we will open up another thread.
initiall step was to recognize the fact that old, new or any testament is being believe or read at all..


:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Why is "to get the idea if most people on this from are greek" important to you, offlimits2 ?

why not ?

No particular reason comes to mind, but I guess it depends on whether you have a hidden agenda. So why is it important to you Qamarsland? oops, I mean offlimits2 ?

[Free Spirit]

if you seriously study religions, you will realize that christianity is as much as a myth as the rest of them. in fact, christianity was based on paganism.

you could be right that it has been corrupoted by paganism
but Bible still guides you to the correct path..


now it depends on person , how to find the correct path.

only the truthseeker can go into depth.. coz deep thinker will always think... why Books, Prophets.. which is the right religion.. why people are so far from religion.

in fact, religion is supppose to make ur life easier. then .... so on and so forth..

So who told the 14 year old muslim suicide bomber which path to take in Afghanistan today when he strapped explosives round his waste and killed fellow muslims?
Remember it would be muslim clerics who coaxed him not his mother, father, brothers or sisters; are they also on the right path.

There you go again, Free Spirit, asking awkward questions.

I believe in them as books; they both clearly exist, just as Alice in Wonderland and The Odyssey exist. But as authoritative historical references; or as a guide for human behaviour and interaction; there are far too many inherent inconsistencies within each of them; as well as inconsistencies with our current understanding of the world and how it works, to render them, as a whole, unworthy.

Although there are some wonderful bits, I'll grant you, though, for me, your quote from Deuteronomy wouldn't be one of them.

I agree. It is all a matter of semantics. You have to define "believe" more precisely.

Deuteronomy 18

18: I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.


may be this verse can raise a question ? Which Prophet is being discussed here?

kurupetos.

Next question?

Take no notice of Kurupetos, offlimit2. The correct answer is, of course, "hatter".

Next question?

Take no notice of either of the 2 aforementioned unbelievers the Prophet we are talking about is the mark up prophit in the tourist bars in Paphos

To requote a point I made earlier in this thread:

"you need to know something about the demographics of the respondents to be able to interpret the results."

To quote the great prophet Homer Simpson:

"Dooooh!".

No, not really. Why do you have no interest in your fellow Muslims living on this island?

[offlimits2]

coz muslims are by faith suppose to believe in all previous holy books.
so question was for people of christian faith.

and question was not ironic but informative.. but some people turned it to totally different directiion

but never mind.

idea is to discuss interfaith issues and increase our awareness to each other
