Society & Culture - 6 July 2006

I believe in God and more importantly for the right reasons which would be because its the right thing to do.
But I can't help but feel like its added obligation. I mean why should I sing, pray, live, breathe for this. We don't have long on earth so why must it be pledged with religion. And the fear that the church enforces on non believers is not right.

Is it wrong to question this? Have you ever done so? Im feeling a little frustrated especial when those who don’t do it for the best reasons are progressing more and have bad ways.

Then O jinn and men, which of your Lord's praiseworthy will you deny?

And besides those two, there will be two other gardens.
O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?

Dark – green and well-watered.
Which of your Lord's blessings will you deny?

In both two gushing springs.
O which of your Lord's favours will you deny?

In them plenty of fruit, and dates and pomegranates.
O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny?

Amidst these blessings chaste and beautiful wives
. O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?

Houris kept in their tents.
O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny?

No man or jinn will have touched them before them.
O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny?
مـتكـىين على رفـرف وعـبـقـرى حـسان
They will be reclining on green cushions and fine, rich carpets.
O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?

Why do so many people answer intelligent questions with crap like "u r so fUkKiN stoopid! LoL!!1" or some random, nonsense facts and statistics that have nothing to do with the question being asked? This is especially evident in questions involving religion, immigration, evolution, etc.

It seems like the closer I get to my (spiritual) goals, the farther I get pushed away. I look around at people who are doing horrible things and they are having "good lives" while I am being "attacked" from every angle. I feel as if Satan is trying to distract and keep me from achieving what I know that I should, and I am beginning to wonder why even bother. Something "always" comes up, if I am trying to get to a meeting, something will happen that day that keeps me from preparing and a lot of the times even from attending. Job is a far better man (human) than I will ever be. Are any of you or have any of you had this same problem, what have you done that has helped?

I could be wearing no make up and a potato sack, walking down the street and sure enough some guy will whistle or try to make a move on me. Don't you guys know it's disrespectful and invasive and MOST ladies hate it??

P.S. I'm from New York City.

The dwellers of Paradise shall be reclining on carpets lined with thick silk, and the branches of the gardens will be hanging down (on them) with fruit.

O which of your Lord's blessings will you deny?

Amidst these blessings will be those of bashful looks, whom neither man nor jinn will have touched before them.

O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?

As beautiful as rubies and pearls.

O which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?

There is this school that is deluting and corrupting children by placing a cross on the wall in the hallway.

SO before I call the ACLU I decided to give the school a chance to remove the pagan symbol (cross) and they said it was religious freedom so I told them that I worship a 5 headed dragon and would like to place a symbol of this almighty dragon is the school hallway and they told me I couldnt.

Obviosly they have a double standard and for them to assume Christianity is the only religious symbol is frivolous .
I called the ACLU and they promised the cross will be removed ASAP because it is illegal.

If the school will let me place my 5 headed dragon up on the school walls then i wont have a problem with the cross on the wall. Fair is fair.

I gave the school untill next week to allow me to bring the 5 headed dragon to the school or this will end up in litigation. I thank god for the ACLU for standing up for my rights and the seperation of religion and state.

Its a congregation of fundamentalist christian extremist nutjobs that goes around picketing soldiers' funerals because they're protesting homosexuality (even though the soldiers arent gay).

Doesn't this make you proud to be a christian?

Good old fahsioned Christian moral values at work!

They can defend every single point they make with the Bible (they're actually following it more "to the letter" than most christians). This is more proof of why the Bible shouldn't be taken literally.

I think believers in Christ know that they sometimes stumble in life. However, they also know that they are forgiven for messing up. Are you living the best you can or is their room for a little more God?

The challenge (& promise from God) is in Moroni 10:3-5.
If you don't have a copy of the book you can read it online at www.lds.org (click on scriptures). If any of you say yes and actually do it - I would be very, very interested in hearing your experience!!! so please email me!!! (A summary of the challenge and promise from God is this) -Basically #1 Prayerfully read the Book of Mormon, with a sincere desire to know if it is true, then after you have done that #2 is to ask God in the name of Jesus Christ if it is true...and #3 the promise is that God Himself will make it known unto you (by the power of the Holy Ghost) that it is true. Please consider - what have you got to lose? (not much)...What have you got to gain? (Incredible blessings beyond description). Please exercise your faith and take this challenge!!!
