Well, this was my humble effort to shed off the ignorance of religions even among the highly sophisticated and educated ones.
These are just some excerpts of a complete enlgihtening article. People interested in such articles can send me a message.

that is nothing, its just a scratch.... start comparing every religion in detail and u will find almost every religion says the same thing in different ways.

[gxsaurav]

There is only one religion : Humanity....


& whatever that provides the most tasty food in the world.

[adithyagenius]

Its best to follow conscience than any religion.

[ilugd]

and what pray has this to do in a tech forum. You want us to fight on this? The only religion for which geeks will fight is linux vs mac vs windows. the order in which i said that says a bit about me doesn't it? And yes, you could say we are religious about our favorite Operating systems.

[iMav]

^^ windows and mac are the 2 religions linux is terrorism

[ilugd]

nah, religion and terrorism don't gel too well. Linux should be called a cult. (I don't think so, I am just verbalizing your feelings in the correct terminology). I should know to talk about religion. I work in a church.

[iMav]

linux are the radicals who hate MS

[ilugd]

not necessarily. I like linux but I don't necessarily hate ms. Like we say over here, you can be either honest or rich. Choose what you want and stick to it. There is nothing wrong with either.

Mac OS X is communist : You either work my way or leave the Mac community

Linux is democratic : Anyone can come, write code, piss the code & leave

Microsoft is hybrid : Anyone can come, make an application & leave. Either he can open source the code for others to work on, or keep the code closed.

[ilugd]

Ah.. now this looks more and more like a fight club. Way to go guys and gals. Oops make that gals and guys. (Gender sensitization course at work)

[iMav]

linux is a curse its a plague and its spreading os x is communist rightly said

[anantkhaitan]

Are you competing with someone for the title of 'Biggest stupid here'

[iMav]

no tht is the salesman property for life

im just making sure that until this topic doesnt get locked no 1 comments on a person's faith

[anantkhaitan]

ignorance is a curse and fanboyism is a plague and My god u are already injected.. Recommend u a Antivirus

[vish786]

Even the ISLAM VS CHRISTIANITY thread is converted TO LINUX VS WINDOWS FIGHT THREAD.... STOP U BOTH. EVERY THREAD IS FOLLOWING IN THE SAME POLICY.

[ilugd]

i already mentioned up here that that would be the only topic that would interest us enough to get into a fight.

[iMav]

yes because commenting on linux, windows and mac is way better than commenting on 1s beliefs and faith

[~Phenom~]

I think some people here are bitten by Steve Ballmer. God help these poor souls...

[NucleusKore]

I would like to see a reference form the New Testament where a man is allowed to take four wives. As for pork eating, Jesus was once asked the same question, and he replied,
"It is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, but waht comes out of him". Matthew 15:11
I think he hit the nail on the HEAD.
Jesus never preached Jehad or suicide bombing

ontopic:Jesus himself said He is the GOD.unlike islamists way that he is a lost prophet.read bible for more information.
For Christians,
GOD is The Father,The Son(Jesus),and the Holy Spirit.or in our LANG we will say Baava,Putra and Rooh-ad-qusha(malayalam).
Chrisitanity believes in Singleness of GOD albeit in 3 forms in One.
I Found it coincides with-"Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara" of Advait.
My POV is Islam is framed to fit its prophet.although hardliners cant agree with it.also Islam gives more importance to arab descendents?
Heard that Malabar Muslims(converted) and Gujarat Kacchi-memons are not so regarded as Muslim by the Original Descendents.


Linux is the way for freedom to the people who respect freedom and FOSS is the way unlike the monopoly company which assimilates wealth-and some prefer to be stupid ignorant fanboys of that company called -Microw-soft
learn to respect Freedom = http://getgnulinux.org

reg foood:
