Society & Culture - 12 July 2006

I'm not Christian myself, but I loved learning about it, and I appreciate their values. I was just wondering about a few question or instances Christians could perhaps answer me on. The more references to the Bible, the better. :)

- What is the stance on using medication? What about a Christian person who has become so depressed that it's drove them into a suicidal state - they may be aware suicide is a sin, but mental functions are inadequate? On one hand I was told that God has enabled us the technology to create medicine to use, but on the other hand it's messing with God's plans for us, and the sanctity of life.

-What do Christians believe about roleplay/sexual fantasies in the bedroom between wife and husband? Even if it leads ultimately to bearing children.

-What do Christians believe about watching television to watch the World Cup for example? Or opposed to listening to it on the radio?

Any discussion would be appreciated. :)

Proverbs 16:1 "The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord"
Proverbs 16:9 "The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps"
Proverbs 21:1 "The kings hearts is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord, He turns it wherever he wishes"
Do not go running for other verses to support your position, just try and focus by explaining how these verses fit in with freewill!

Is the holy trinity real, or just a way to explain God, in a kind of simplified way? Who first mentioned the trinity idea?

I am talking to 'the body' who are strategically placed all over the world in DIFFERENT churches under the trinity, do you think we can start to behave like a unified body?

After I go to the bank and store, I have nothing to do. I don't have a date for tomorrow and am looking for something to do during the day as I don't go out alone at night. I live in a hot climate so taking a walk is out (over 100 degrees) and don't have anything other than public transportation. I live in a big city but everything costs money to do and I don't have any to spend. I don't want to spend my day at home though. Any ideas?

I don't have any friends to hang out with.

I refuse to believe that life is just a test, and that everything important to me - the love I have for my wife, the light of a bright summer morning, the people I am reaching with my words, my feeling of oneness with the universe - is just a means for me to get brownie points for another life. I'm not in high school any more. I measure my life by how much I fulfill my own values, not on how the teacher is grading me.
Why limit your mind and your life?

I think we should do these things anyway, but it would just be nice to not have to hear how great christians are because someone built a hospital and stuck a saint's name on it.

This way, when they tell us we are going to hell for being non-believers and we point out our hospital, and they STILL condemn us, we can really have a good laugh.

Why should they get to prance around like they are so moral? Let's out moral them.

Have you thought that maybe this is a mental voice that everyone has, and that you only call it "God" because that's what you've been taught to believe in ? Just a thought.

It also has the highest crime rates of all developed countries, and close to the highest rates of racism and homophobia ? Think about it for a minute. If Christianity really did make people better, shouldn't the United States be a country full of moral, upright people ?

I just wrote a post earlier about how I am sick of getting hounded by church people, and I would like to live my life the way I want. What would be a better way state my feelings than on a Religon and Spirituality Forum. Makes sense right, get answers from the horses mouth. By reading some replies I guess making a post that contains the subject of "religion" and then posting it in a religous forum makes no sense.

at least that is the fact i get from the concensus

If you were given a pill that would show you, once and for all, the truth about the universe, no matter how distasteful it might be for you. Would you take it?

For christians, that means you would know, without a shadow of a doubt that there is no god, and that evolution is the process of how life changed on this planet.

For Atheists, that means you would know that god exists and created everything and that life was created and designed, not evolved.

Would you take the pill?


I for one answer; yes. And I am a dyed in the wool Atheist. Knowledge and proof are foremost in my mind so to have absolute knowledge of the origin of the world would be a great thing.

I get a lot of guff for being a Latter-day Saint (Mormon) from the Prods. Catholics, JW's, and other non-Protestants religions don't have any issues but the Prods start frothing at the mouth and calling my church a cult and telling me I'm going to hell. Is that Christian love or what?
