True Religion Joey Super T in Dark Chalk

Is it true that talking about religion as any theme like a car, a house or holidays is not done in the United States ? (5 answers)

Authors of bestsellers like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins try to convince the American society about the normality of considering religion as a subject as any other. They often are asked for very well visited Conferences and other types of public meetings, very often on TV. There they come with amazing and often frightening facts about the American attitude to not talk about religion as if that subject is untouchable. I am interested to know if this is true for a country that has so much influence in all types of practical and technical inventions, not to mention the American way of marketing, selling and buying.

Looking for a religion? Found one you like? Swallow it hook-line-and-sinker? (5 answers)

I do believe people's minds are wired for religion. It helps us to make sense of our lives and give meaning to life in general. When someone "dissects" a number of belief systems on purpose or by exposure (being preached to... withnessed to... etc.) When you settle on the religion (the belief system) that makes the best sense to you... do you then swallow the whole enchilada hook-line-and-sinker? What if there are many many pieces and some of them just are not believable... you know to be false in your heart? Maybe science has prove something to be false. Do you then ignore them... pretend they don't exist... pretend you have faith in something you know not to be true? You religion says the sky is violet... you look up and it is blue. Science says it is blue due to blue light tendency to scattering. Do you pretend you are seeing violet? Or do you find one falsehood and think the entire system is tainted and keep looking for the one true religion?

Don't "Christians" have it all wrong as to what is the true religion? (5 answers)

Consider: the person Christians worship, Jesus Christ, was a Jewish rabbi who was out to reform the Jewish religious practices of his time, not to create a new religion centered around worshipping him. The closest he came to that was when he said he was the "Son of God" (isn't everyone supposed to be?) and that it was GOD who was to be worshipped. At no point does he say "worship me" or "come up with a new religion named after me." He was out to REFORM JUDAISM. Since he was Jewish, doesn't it seem to make logical sense that if people are going to follow his teachings, they would be following Judaism? So, isn't Judaism the one true religion then? Don't the so-called "Christians" have it all wrong by not following Judaism, but instead creating a new religion based upon the death of a Jewish teacher/rabbi? I would appreciate an intelligent discussion on this and not a bunch of Bible-beaters telling me I'm going to hell.
