Society & Culture - 1 January 2007

People have referred to me as Spiritual which just means easy going and open minded to me.

What is it in your opinion?

Yea yea I love god and all that stuff but hey man i want to know how much mooola i can make out of this considering most christian people are very genourous. I tried doing a market research and to see how much church competition is out there and whewwww! there is alot! I was thinking of different ideas like an online website donation where I will pray for them for like 10 dollars a pop. I could also have GoogleAdsense revenues as well.

Another idea was to sell baskets of Sunday chicken at the door when my followers leave the church and fry it at home to save on labors ( get my wife to cook it LOL). Anyway, think i would make a killing that way.

In Christianity Jesus and the New Testament seem to bring redemption from original sin - in religions other than Christianity, is there a call to or mandate for redemeption from the original sinful state of man, or does this concept exist in other religions?

Or is there some comparable concept?

And please, people, don't trash our religion, because people have a tendency to make up stuff about us that is downright ridiculous. Thanks!

Is it actually possible to claim 100% accuracy with two contrasting beliefs? Can either the atheist or the theist claim this, or can neither or both? This is a continuation to a recent question asking people to rate their own faith, and most people, atheists and theists, claimed to be 100% positive their own beliefs are correct. Are such claims not arrogant, not egotistical to an extreme?

even if people are asking for something, is it impolite and or wrong to tell them "to get a job,and stop leeching off the rest of working society" why do people have to work, and "fit in" as the expression goes, if they do not want to" also, is it rude to think in terms of "bring back the draft" what is the matter with not voluteering or "fighting for this country" or at least, is it not something to complain about, or try to force a person into?

And why do some Protestants believe that Hell is real, and other kinds of Protestants believe that Hell isn't real?

Some Protestants believe strongly that homosexual activity and abortion are an abomination to God while other Protestants think that there is no such thing as a sin and that we will all go to Heaven no matter what we do.

Some Protestants believe that it's important to gather to worship God while others don't think that praying is necessary, etc.

As Christians, doesn't it make a huge difference to our salvation to know the truth about these kinds of things? Why do Protestants disagree on so many important doctrines of Christianity? Do some people believe that God would want His Church to be so confused and divided about the gospel when our eternal salvation is at stake? Can I get an Amen?

heres the deal. i was brought up in a very southern, traditional family. i was raised in very strict doctirnes- pretty much that anything different is wrong. with that being said, here lately i have been researching different drugs, and read that LSD widens your horizen, gives you a different outlook on life, and a spiritual expirience, ect...my question is to the people that have honostly taken acid, what do you think about it? i have read so many different websites, but i want to know what real people think about it. the reason i want to take it is to open my mind to something ive never been exposed to. any thoughts?

oh yes, please dont pass judgement. i would appreciate if the lecture filled comments not be posted.

thanks

okay, every so often, i hear what sounds like my mam/mom's voice shouting my name so as to get my attention, but then i shout back, or go and ask what she wanted, and it turns out that she hadn't even shouted to me.

and last night, as i was drifting off to sleep, i heard my brothers voice clear as a bell saying my name, as if he was standing next to me, but at the time, he was actually at work, and his job is miles away from where i live. i even answered him, then i realised that he couldnt of spoken to me. its really weird

i do believe in spirits, and its not just because i've read one to many spooky books, i've actually seen spirits with my own eyes since i was a child, not all the time though, just on odd occasions.

The average Englishman, in his home he calls his castle, puts on his national costume - A shabby Raincoat patented by Charles MacIntosh of Glasgow, Scotland.

He drives a car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop of Dreghorn, Scotland.

At the office he recieves his mail with adhearive stamps which, although they bear the queen of England's head, were invented by John Chambers of Dundee, Scotland.

During the day he uses the telephone, Invented by Alexander Graham Bell of Edinburgh, Scotland.
At home in the evening he watches his daughter ride her bicycle, invented by Kilpatrick MacMillan, A Blacksmith from Dumfries, Scotland.

He watches the news on television which was invented by John Logie Baird of Helensburough Scotland and hears an item about the U.S. Navy founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland.
He has now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation picks up the Bible, only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot - King James VI - who authourised it's translation.

No where can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots, he could take to drink but the Scots make the finest in the world, he could take a rifle and end it all but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson of Pitfours, Scotland.
If he escaped death, he could find himself on an operating table, being injected with Penicillin, discovered by Alexander Flemming of Darvel, Scotland, and given an aneasthetic, discovered by Sir James Young Simpson of Bathgate, Scotland.
Out of the aneasthetic he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the Bank Of England which was founded by William Patterson of Dumfries, Scotland.

Perhaps his only hope would be to get a transfusion of good SCOTTISH blood
