I'm referring to fundies. I mean if they're so sure that they're saved and everyone else will go to hell. shouldn't they just shut up and be happy about it? Do fundies really care about your "soul"?

I recently posted a question regarding comments made by the Iraqi leader of al-Qaida that disturbed me. One response inparticular was made by a Muslim young lady. The response kinda disturbed me. Basically, she said that the comments made by the al-Qaida leader (calling for scientists to join the Jihad and use nuclear/biological weapons) shouldn't cause me concern. Instead she suggested that I should be happy that Islam was coming to embrace me.

I'm a pagan... I believe that everyone worships the SAME god... we all just view that god in different ways.

As a Muslim do you seriously want this to occur (the use of nuclear and biological weapons) to spread your faith?

If it's true that there are only two possibilities, that also means that there is some singular point on the good-bad continuum out there... in which on one side you go to hell & eternal suffering and the other side you go to heaven & eternal glory.

One point, infinitely small so you can't land on top of it.

That would mean that just ONE tiny good act or ONE insignficant bad act could mean the difference between heaven or hell, if you were on the edge.

Imagine going to heaven & St. Peter says "oooh.... you just missed the cut. If only you didn't think about looking down Patty Jones' shirt in the 5th grade, you would have made it. Sorry, but you roast in hell for eternity. It all came down to that."


That doesn't sound fair, just, or even realistic to me.

When did you know, become a believer, a Christian, a Pagan, an Atheist, a Muslim, etc,etc, etc? What made you gain "faith?" When did you find "religion" or your philosophy or your way of life? What brought you to your path?

Call me morbid, but today I thought about planning my funeral. Even though my family and my husband's are catholic, I do NOT want those people having the last word about my life. Nor do I want a generic christian minister.

I do not belong to any church and I do not follow any religion. I'm not sure what, if any, message or words I would want delivered, what last words I might want to leave.

So what are my options? I don't want to throw a party like an Irish wake - I think people need to grieve and need closure. Don't want to force them to be chipper. And I want to be respectful of all the catholics who want to pray and do their thing.

Let me have your wildest and wackiest ideas!

As we all know this was the instruction of Jesus "Do this in memory of me" and beside there is also a warning on it and it says "Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup." (2Cor 11:27-28)

I don't believe that the Catholic church is God's church. Why? Because it's teachings are not inline with the Bible, and they have leaders that have different names than the ones Jesus called in His church when he was here on the earth organizing his church. I also think that the Catholic church just took some of the main ideas from Christ's teaching and made their own religion, and it was the first one after he went back to heaven, so everyone jumped on the band wagon to be a part of it. All the Apostles died, Remember? That means that the truth and the power of God went with them. They never gave it to anybody else and couldn't start their own religion cuz they were already leaders in Christ's religion, which ended when they all were killed.
Honestly, now, go study the bible with a little more depth.

Is there a really good section and not-so-good section?

I guess I'm asking if God grades on a "Pass-Fail" basis.
If so, I'm shooting for a "C" average

If you knew that the baby you were about to save from abortion was going to grow up to be gay and proud, would you still attempt to save his life? Just so you know I am pro choice, but very interested in any responses I get that seriously answer the question.

on a comment i just made about satanism? ok.......

The name of the religion is SATANISM : obsession with or affinity for evil; specifically : the worship of Satan marked by the travesty of Christian rites. this is directly taken from webster's dictionary, i got thumbs down for that lol.

Even if you don't believe in 'satan', your taking everything he's about, carnal and sinful things directly out of the bible and using those as your main 'doctrine'. TO RICIDULE CHRISTIANITY, i'm sorry but thats exactly what satanism is. If you would like to read more about the 'church of satan' go to this link http://www.churchofsatan.com/home.html. Good day! :)

I'm just wondering, because people have been saying that the world is going to end for thousands of years.
Does anyone have any good infromation on a specific date?
Personally I think we have a minimum of a couple of billion years, but thats just a rough guess based on the rate at which the sun is burning its fuel.
