Were the witch trials of Lancashire carried out properly and those found guilty dealt with appropriately (Hanged not burnt, Salem also Hanged not burnt although one that refused to enter a plea was crushed). Note: Only the Spanish Inquisition burnt heretics.

When a massive proportion of the worlds population is starving and dying of curable deseases, do catholics feel that its about time to release that wealth back to the people it stole it from?

And to clarify. The catholic church DID get its wealth by theft, demanding money with menaces, and obtaining goods by deception. Unarguable.

How do we get it back?

I dont think ol' nazi boy will give it up without a fight. Whats the answer?

If they had a pile of food, the rest of the world would tell them to give it up for the good of mankind.

Instead they have priceless stolen goods.

I have prayed so many times I cant even count anymore. I have stayed up crying my heart out because I felt like something was wrong with me. I hated myself and I disliked God.

Christians say your time is up and you ascend, but you don’t see Jesus or God, you see Buddha. What do you say and do?

Atheists say your time is up and you ascend and to your horror, you see the white pearly gates and Jesus and God with a smirk on there face what do you say and do?

Agnostics say your time is up and you descend, because you couldn’t choose one or the other, and you see a lake of fire, pitchfork, and a guy in red with horns and a forked tail, what do you do and say?

and preach buddhism just like the western christian fanatics. Why can't they let go of the ego even after claiming belief in buddhism? Does it take generations to reach that point where you donot view yourself above anyone else? Does a meat diet have anything to do with it? How can a person learn to be sensitive to everyone's feelings without caring for all of gods sentient beings? I am dissappointed that the dalai lama consumes meat occassionaly too despite preaching peace to everyone! Yet i see hindus adfamant in their vegetarianism, why do buddists deny that what guides you inside is the very presence of god in you! How can buddhism so blatantly pick up every hindu belief and then deny god to appeal to the atheists of this world?

Why did He do it if he knew that it would be the shithole that it is today? My confirmation teacher said that He created it so people would praise Him, but why, because now people make fun of Him, curse Him, etc. Why didn't He just put us in Heaven from the start? Why did he have to make us suffer down here before we got to Heaven?

You find a new idea to grasp, you cling to it, and you pull urself up looking for another one...Yet sometimes if you are trying to point out the path to someone who hasn't climbed as high yet they refuse to listen and continue to squirm, scratching around uselessly and following rocks that only lead them sideways.

Christian does this remind you of Atheists?
Atheists does this remind you of Christians?

I'm taking a neutral side on this one ;).

I mean, I have been very interested with the Mormon religion and they dont accept homosexuals there. They treat it like a disease. Recently, My girlfriends mother moved her away the day after she found out her daughter was gay. To me that doesnt seem like it would be a very loving or forgiving faith. I want the feeling of God without feeling dirty. and most of the time, I dont even really believe he's there.

I've heard other say that the bible just not say in clear manner that you will go to heaven. It doesn't come out and say if you good you will go up, not down.

If you don't believe, in either heaven or hell do you believe in an afterlife.

Or is it once were dead were dead. Thats the end of us.

Which do you believe and why?

When it comes to products like shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream etc. do they use something that is considered to be for a man, woman, or sort of neutral?

I'm not trying for humor or to be rude. I'm just curious.
