Please don't tell me I shouldn't be insulting, because I am insulting, & they are too if they want to come & disrupt me during dinner.

I was just wondering what others opinions were on the topic. Please state why you believe this. In otherwords don't just say yes or no! NO RUDE REMARKS PLEASE!!!!

Personnally I say yes. I think it is selfish to think that the beings we share this Earth with don't have souls. I believe that even plants have souls. I can often feel their presence. And I have had "conversations" with a few trees. Its kind of like getting good feelings and sending good feelings back in response.

Please don't remark on how "looney" you think I am. I am not mocking you for your beliefs so please show me the same respect!

Also, if you are christian and want to post scripture as a reason why you believe what you believe then feel free to do so!

Peter Carroll in his book Liber Kaos states that 'the acceptance of a single belief makes a person a magician: the meta-belief that belief is a tool for acheiving effects' (Liber Kaos p.77, 1992). With this theory one would believe in any gods or goddesses one chose to in order to suit the the spell under consideration, in effect 'creating and destroying' deities as required. Do the gods have an independent existence - where do they go when no-one believes in them - and is this 'meta-belief' a useful tool or a fallacy in your opinion?

'Belief is a tool rather than an end in itself; one can make real any belief one chooses, including contradictory beliefs' (Carrol p.77).

Why do you think that the bible is true and that the Qur'an isn't? Both Islam and Christianity supposedly have miracles attributed to them, so why do you choose one person's word over another?

If it is all a matter of 'faith', than why do you have faith that Christianity is right and not oh I don't know, Islam?

What proof do you have except that, this book is written by god, I know it's written by god because it says it is, I know it's telling the truth because it's always right, it's always right because it's written by god...

What does Jesus have over Krishna? And how do you know he is god on earth, and not Krishna?

I can't. And I feel so guilty about not being an estactic lover of Christ...why can't I jump for joy to be a child of God? Why doesn't the scriptures uplift me out of this abyss? How do I stop feeling guilty about my depression...and yes, I am on Zoloft. I still have trouble getting out of bed sometimes or finding the motivation to be active or devoted to an activity. Am I just not strong enough of a Christian? Am I lacking in belief or faith or obedience? Explain. Give me some scripture please.

It used to be "God bless You". It really irritates me when they leave out the "you". Seems awfully lackadasical. like they don't really mean it. I believe it started with Red Skelton and it seemed rather insipid of him.

Timothy
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,.....Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;......For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with lusts,

Lovers of their own selves – the obsession to be beautiful, Youtube making it possible for every persoto be famous and compete more aggresively for it.

Covetous – people want more, greed is increasing,people never satistifed. People have no respect for other peoples husbands or wives anymore and don’t even care that someone is married.

Blasphemers – Bill Maher giddy about a church that caught fire and deserved to burn cuz it doesnt pay taxes for fire dept

Unthankful – society becoming ruder and less polite

Unholy – Proliferation of porn, Springer, Stern, gangster rap, etc.

Ok... we all know that one of the ten commandments is Thou shall not steal. But i think i found a loophole! Online Piracy involves no actual Theft whatsoever, merely copying. There isnt a commandment that says, "Thou shall not disobay thy government" So i gotta believe god beleives in P2P! I dont think its morally wrong at all to take from ginormus money sucking corporations.

I am a member of the US Military, and have been working with other people who are followers of non-catholic christianity. More often than not, i have been called a "hellbound" catholic. and frankly in sick of hearing it. I was always taught by the church not to discriminate or hate other religions, so why are they doing it to me?

You start old with loads of money and knowledge, get younger every year, and end up carefree and innocent.

Your mid-life crisis would become reality 20 years after, responsibility would lessen during the teenage years, and childhood would be a perfect retirement...

Plus your christmas presents would get better as time goes by: socks... socks... jumper... watch... aftershave... scaaaa-lextric!

Downsides would include giving up drinking, smoking, driving, and sex at certain points in your life, but surely you would have more to look forward to in general...
What do you think?

Has any noticed that in the 1600's, that the same English people who came to America for religious freedom are the same people who forced their religion on the Natives? Isn't that a little hyprocritical? I'm not saying that all people did, in fact the Catholics and the Quakers were friendly to the Natives, but the Anglecan were awful.

When you are old you know what to do, but you just can't do it anymore. I don't mean sex, I mean having the ability to do in your middle years(middle? how many of us live to a hundred?)what came easily in your twenties. I envy my nine year old twins. All of that is ahead of them.
