Society & Culture - 9 August 2006

So many Christians feel that they have an obligation to serve a God that is so far away is really does not know what any human is truly going through in life. Also as humans, none of us asked to be born or to be brought into creation. All that I hear from Christians is that I owe God a debt of gratitude and I should be happy about being alive. The world is a disaster, and I did not ask to be brought into it in the first place. It seems that if anything at all God owes me for putting me on this lousy earth, not the other way around.

Okay since i can remember i had these weird things happen to me when i went to sleep, Just when falling asleep i would be paralyzed and couldnt scream or even breath sometimes. i thought it was just a normal thing untill i found out it wasnt. so when i was 14 i went to see professionals and they said it was Hypnagogic hallucinations and gave me pills but they didnt help.as time passed things got worse, i started seeing these horible things(rather not say). So i went to see a spiritual women and she said it was Demonic Possessions and the hallucinations were demons. So what should i do? are they real or not?

The majority of atheists I see here are a little antipathetic or "hostile" and seems they aren't satisfied with their system of believes. If you really were satisfied with your believes you would have forgotten about Christians long time ago. Instead of accepting and respecting other people you do the opposite. Isn't your system of believes helping you gain inner peace? Because you definitely are not showing it, and the impression that I get is that you are dissatisfied with what you believe and you need to make others look bad to fill that emptiness.

Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I bring this up because I have seen it way too many times where this is cited as "proof" that there can't be any more scripture in addition to the Bible, or any more revelation from God. Thus, God's lips are sealed forever. First of all, the book of Revelation (which is really the "book" John refers to) was written 200+ years before the "Bible" even existed! Secondly, it is agreed by many scholars that Revelation was not even the last book written. And finally, what do you think Moses implied (Deut. 4:2) when he basically said the same thing? No more scripture?

I was having a discussion with my wife about the ethical implications of Psalm 137; in particular, the last 3 lines (below). She said, 'that's funny, I don't remember that part', and reached for her prayer book, to find that these 3 lines were not there. Could this be a reason some Christians flatly deny the bible contains this kind of stuff? They are not given the full story.

137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

I am worried sick about my older sister. Her name is Shelby. She is going to start her first year of college in September. I think she has been bitten by a vampire... I am choking back tears as I type this. What will become of her? I'll get to the point by first telling you what happened. Three nights ago, on a lazy Sunday night, my sister was out with her "boyfriend". I decided to sneak in her room to read her greedily-stashed-under-the-bed Cosmo and Vogue magazines. As I was sitting cross-legged on her bedroom floor, hastily flipping through the glossy pages of Vogue, I heard a car pull up in the driveway. It was my sister and her boyfriend. In a frenzied panic, I stacked all her magazines back into a pile and pushed it back under the bed. By that time, they were already inside the house at the bottom of the stairs. If I left her room, they would see me. I couldn't let that happen. I decided to hide in her closet...

Because it would have been Adam and Eve and their children, who would have then had to sleep with each other in order to make more people. Or was there anyone else around?

Didnt you always respect the professor who didnt give the suck-ups "A's" just for pathetically trying to stroke the professors ego? SO why see God any differently?

There are many decent religious people, but today, more than ever, it is clear that the worst people on earth are also ultra-pious...never missing a God-suck-up session. So God's gonna do what with that....reward the F (in life) student with eternal virgin orgies?

Ok, heres a radical idea. Imagine (if God exists) a secure self-sufficient God who doesnt give a sh** whether your pathetically try to suck-up to him, hes just gonna grade you on how you live...period. Whoa...wacky idea.
