Society & Culture - 16 July 2006

I'm sure that this has been asked before, but I neither see it nor it's answers.
I read Holy Blood, Holy Grail in the late 80's and had it thoroughly trashed by proper historians. Everything but the argument concerning the passage of the Wedding in Canaan. It made sense that the groom would provide the wine.
What I am asking, and I am desparately serious, is why does Jesus being married and or having little ones make him less than divine. Understand, I am a recovering Catholic for exactly this kind of thing. Assuming we go with the whole original sin, it wasn't sex, it was eating the fruit not making love and didn't the Big G say go forth and mulitple? Why would Jesus's marriage indicate he was not divine? I'm serious and really don't mean to insult anyone. My religion says that love, sex and procreation are the most sacred of acts, so I just don't get it.

Were just these bones placed into the earth as a warning about what could happen to those that didn't heed Gods word? Were they perhaps found by the early authors of the Bible and because of their horrndous look were called dragons (they rather do resemble what we have seen the ancients describe as dragons and a tyranasoraus Rex looks incredibly like the images we have seen in drawings as does a wing pteradactyal. We flocked to the movies to see Jurassic park and who will deny that these proofs showm through the work of considerably educated man do not ad up to proof that the earth is far older than the generations depicted of mankind in The Bible Quran or otherwise-Jesus never mentioned anything about these animals because he did not have this information available to him and yet he recognizes Dragons when he recognizes the old testament and revelations where in the end there is a 7 headed dragon that is the center of all evil-I am sorry but until some one can explain to me how Noah

Doesn't this war with Israel remind you of the TBN movies that have been put out? (megedio, Apocalypse, Left behind & etc..)
If you are lost in sin, doesn't it make you worry just alittle that Jesus is coming back for his true saints (the rapture) soon?
What if you are not saved and you are left behind? What if you have children and you are playing with them one minute and the next they disappear right before your eyes because they have gone with Jesus in the rapture?
What IF??
What if you die lost in your sins tonight or later. Will you be able to endure the fiery flames of Hell? (of course not)
Will you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and live your life for him according to the Word of God?
Of will you be left behind during the rapture?

What if??
What if??
What if??

If you haven't already or if you need to come back to him due to being backslidden, Will you please accept Jesus as your personal savior and live for him or will you continue to deny?

Some people say I am self centered and egotistical. I know I am not because I don't think I am. If you are not going to agree with me then don't bother answering.
So am I right?

Is this a way of trying to make atheists look bad by saying they've been there, done that?

Im a true Atheist and I know a true Atheist would not convert unless he or she could never get over God being fake which means he or she was never a true Atheist in the first place.

That's like an adult starting back believing in Santa Clause

It seems to me that, on the one hand, the fact that reality (which we are a part of) exists is a striking thing, to say the least. I don't feel strongly about a 'creator' but I am certainly struck by the fact that this (reality) is going on. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to concern other people too much. I'm going by what I observe people saying- but I don' t talk about it much either (because no one else is). Is this a catch-22- people don't talk about it because no else is, or am I kind of weird? (I realize religion fills some of this role, explains the unexplainable.)

I read a children's version bible when I was a child but now I would like to read an adult version. Is there a big difference between the versions?

Perhaps there is only one God/Creator but every religion tends to say that their god is the true God. Religion seems to divide us.

This has been bothering me reccently. Why I don't know, but somebody asked me for a cigarette the other day, and I swore she looked pregnant, so I lied and said I didn't have any. But my friend said she was just fat.

He was the first person I came out to. I am extremely confused about what I feel for him. Am I clinging to him as emotional support or what?
