∙ 13y agoTo make one thing clear, Christians don't believe in running around shooting people. However, Christians believe if it is protecting something, (World War II, for example. If American's wouldn't of shot a couple of Nazis, the Nazis would take over the world.) then it would be understandable.

∙ 9y agoIt depends on which war "the war" refers to. Many Christians believe in Just War Theory, so if there is a conflict that fits the requirements of the theory to be a just war, these Christians will support it. There are also Christians who support wars for non-Christian reasons such as patriotism, security justifications, fear, or intolerance.

How did the soul of Egyptians get to the after life?
The Egyptians believed that when you died, you had to go on (a spiritual) journey to the afterlife. Some of the passages that I can think of at the top of my head is that you have to go down a river, and some time after that is where you get your heart tested for purity. That's all I can think of for the moment.
Why did roman officials consider christians enemys of the empire?
Because they did not worship gods or goddesses like the Romans did. Some Christians turned away from their responsibilities as Roman citizens, such as serving in the army.
Why did the Romans persecute Christian's despite their general religions?
Some Roman emperors were worried about the loyalty of the Christians to the Roman state. The Romans saw Roman religion as an integral part of the Roman state. The Christians were converting Romans to their religion. The emperor Decius ordered everyone in the empire to perform sacrifices in honour to the Roman gods to prove their loyalty to the state. The Christians refused to do so because they abhorred sacrifices and because they saw this as a betrayal of their god. Many Christians were executed. The emperor Valerian took a similar action. Later the emperor Diocletian unleashed the biggest persecution, again because he saw the Christians as a threat to the state.

How do some Christians support the view that same-sex civil partnerships are acceptable?
At least some of them do so because the best guidance the Bible has to offer on the issue is that gay people should be killed and this mandate is among those that modern Christians are unwilling to accept. Some Christians find civil partnerships more acceptable than same-sex marriages because the change in vocabulary makes it clear that it refers to a civil law and not to the sacramental right of Christian matrimony. Still many other Christians are unwilling to accept any legal recognition of a same-sex relationship, regardless of the vocabulary used.

A:I'm sure some Christians think this because they realise that a truly global Flood, as described in the Bible, is scientifically impossible. The choice, also adopted by many Christians, is to accept that the story of Noah's Ark is not literally true.

Why do Jews think they are better than other is it for survival?
If some Jews think they are 'better than others' it is no different from some Christians and Muslims who think that morally and spiritually they tower above head and shoulders above ordinary people. In my experience they Jews don't 'bang on' about the subject, though. Perhaps the notion that Jews think they are better is part of the stereotype?
