At what point does faith and the expression of someone's belief in one's religion cross the line and become wacko and Al Quida-esque??

  Springboardposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  I think, to some extent, that simply stating that one becomes a religious nut, or nut anything for that matter, occurs when one is willing to die for it is actually a bit oversimplified. A courageous American soldier is not a nut for being willing to die for his country. Jesus Christ was not a nut for having been willing to die for the sins of His followers and for His religion (and He WAS willing, because I'm certain He knew the consequences for His actions considering the time—He'd have otherwise been less outspoken).
  
  I think the point that one becomes a nut is when one's belief begins to cloud one's best abilty to make sound and rational decision. Hitler was verifiable nut because his beliefs led him to conclude that there were lesser human beings in the ranks, and the world needed to be 'cleansed.' To a degree this is the same logic fueling Al-Qaeda. We are, in their eyes, infidels, unclean, unholy, and therefore we need to be ridded from the world. That makes them a nut.
  
  If a Christian (and I'm not one BTW) decides that he is willing to give up his life for his religion in defense of the common better good, and to arrest the further development of a common threat of evil or bad, he is not a nut at all.

  As long as there are no direct attacks on me, insults, name-calling, demeaning statements, verbal bashing for what I believe, I can interact in harmony with all. When one is personally attacked, one gets defensive.
  
  I say in general: My faith works for me. If that's what it takes for me to be a better person, let me be.

  Is it sane? That's a really broad term.
  
  Moral or Legal? Both carry a weight of ethics to live by. Sanity allows you to see them as they are and entitles you to understand.
  
  If you say anything and do anything, that doesn't harm yourself or others, then you are already morally justified, correct and/or legal. It only comes from sane and honest action.

  Cagsilposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  No. Judging is only based on actions that hurt, harm or help others. A person can judge someone based on those and not be morally wrong. It's only a perspective/perception view. Technically, it's not really a moral right or wrong, because no physical action was taken against. Just a view was created.
  
  Judging others, based on anything other than their actions is futile.

Suppose you see a beautiful woman.
Wait--I'm assuming you're a man, right?

If you are, suppose you see a beautiful woman. You're in admiration not just of her beauty, but you'd like to have her physically.
You have a choice, right then, to turn your mind and your eyes to something/someone else that doesn't entice you.
If you don't you'll allow conception of that lust, and you'll begin to dwell on it, maybe even act upon it by approaching her for the wrong reasons...

  So - what you are saying is that it is OK for you to go against the Word by preaching and having extra marital sex, but not OK for other people to sin?
  
  Did I get that right?
  
  Brenda - sin - OK
  Others - sin - not so much - sez Brenda.
  
  Does this mean that the sin of women preaching and having sex and marriage after breaking your word to God and getting divorced is less of a sin that say - homosexuality?
  
  Is there a grade to sinning I am missing? Where do atheists come on the scale? Are we above or below adulterers and people who break their covenant with God?

  If you're serious, Mark, it's my understanding that there really is no "scale" for sin as you so eloquently put it. All sin is abomination and God cannot look upon it (hence the need for agents like messiah and angels). Also, there is NO sin in non-belief. It is worse to be a hypocritical believer than to not believe at all. According to my understanding (which is, admittedly, only human and flawed, I'm sure) now is NOT the time when all things have been revealed and so belief is not necessary at this time. It's also my understanding that we're ALL going to hell, regardless of sin, because "hell" means "grave."

  Well I understand that, Mark...but how can you blaspheme against something you don't know, believe in, or understand? You might say empty words about the Holy Spirit, but you're incapable of truly blaspheming it simply because you've not experienced it.
  
  God isn't stupid; He understands how difficult it is to believe. That passage is talking specifically to the kind of person who proclaims their belief, then turns their back on the Holy Spirit--that's the true blasphemy. All the passages in the Bible are not meant for everyone. This is the difference between "meat" and "milk".

I can't prove that God exists (nor do I want to), and you can convince me he doesn't (and someone with your intelligence probably knows that). I don't really care if you believe in God or not, but it would be nice if you could be respectful enough of my person and my personal beliefs not to be insulting. I feel like I've been pretty respectful of you, even though we disagree.

  Actually...The "meat" and "milk" part wasn't directed to you personally at all. Neither the milk OR the meat is for you, because you are not a believer (and that's fine, which is what I was trying to say before).
  
  The point I was trying to make is that the doctrine regarding blasphemy (which is considered "meat") is for one set of people being spoken to in the Bible. Other things (milk) are for another set of people who follow the Bible. Neither of them pertains to you.

  Well much as you may choose to make fun of the fact that you evolved form another ape-like being - that is how it is - sorry. No being created in His image - unless He is an amoeba?
  
  My point is this - and - as I did mention in this case you are not suggesting this but the "do not understand" is actually offensive.
  
  I understand just fine. I evolved - as did you - from another less developed ape-like creature.
  
  But - I would not expect you to be able to grasp that - it is beyond your comprehension. So - as I said - lets just leave it at - "I understand something that you cannot."

Definition of a "religious nut".

Brian David Mitchell : abducted Elizabeth Smart in Utah and held her captive for months as his 'wife'.

Jim Jones : responsible for the suicide deaths of his entire 'flock' in Guyana by using manipulation and brainwashing.

Tony Alamo (aka, Bernie Hoffman): convicted of trafficking minors across the state line for sexual relations. Arrested for this and physical abuse of members of his 'cult'. In prison forever.

These 3 examples are either mentally ill with psychosis or grandiose delusions. I have no compassion on them for what they did. A combination of mental illness and hyper religion can be deadly placing a potential 'victim' in bondage. Defining when a person actually "crossed the line" into a 'religious nut' is fine. These examples are what I consider religious nuts.

  donotfearposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  
  Hyper religion is sometimes present when a mentally ill person is in a manic state. They have an over-inflated sense of "religious grandiosity" believing they may be 'the annointed one' or 'the messiah'. They may pray inconveniently, constantly, inappropriately in public while using extreme expression through body language. They have a preoccupation with grandiose delusions of a religious nature. Way out of context. For example. I had a client recently who was 'hyper religious'. She was in her room, sitting on her bed with her hands pressed together in prayer constantly, even durring my assessment. Standing up, pressing her hands against the wall looking up. Continually making references to God, the Lord when it was un-necessary, out of context in the conversation. It's not hard to recognize when somebody is actually over the line. This was one sick woman.
