the direction that Christianity is moving in?

The love for your fellow man that Jesus taught is no longer important to you, and has been replaced by hate for, and judgement of those very people that Jesus would have gone out of his way to befriend.

You can deny these things to me, but try looking in the mirror and denying it to yourself.

All they ever do on here is whine to no end about how religious people talk about religion. I suspect that they are exaggerating because I almost never hear anyone even mention anything about religion except either when I'm at church or when I come to this forum which is about religion.

My guess is that either the atheists who are complaining are going to church and complaining about hearing about religion there, or they are complaining that religion is being discussed in the Religion and Spirituality section of Yahoo Answers.

If atheists don't like hearing about religion in this religious forum why don't they stick with the home and gardening section of Yahoo Answers? I would venture to bet that they won't have to hear much about religion there.

There are a billion hypotheses floating around as to the meaning of 666 (or at least, it feels that way). What do you think it represents?

Irenaeus suggested that the number indicates that the beast is the sum of all apostasy committed over the course of six thousand years.[23]
Robert Graves suggested that DCLXVI, 666 in Roman numerals, is an abbreviation for the Latin sentence “Domitianus Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit”, or “The Emperor Domitian violently killed the envoys of Christ”.[24]
The Roman numeral writing of 666, "DCLXVI" is also the first six Roman numerals, written in descending order.
In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), the number 666 may be considered mystical and holy and may represent the physical universe.[25]
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the Beast for which 666 stands symbolizes many governments.

If I wore a piece of jewelry that was African, would that violate some sort of cross-cultural taboo? I am as white as snow--would some black people be angry with me for wearing African clothing or jewelry?

So you don't/can't believe in God or a higher order in the universe? What then is the highest calling of mankind? What is the most glorious thing that we can strive for?

I think I might know what it is. Nothing original really, just this:

Ensure the continued survival and advancement of mankind

If we perfect this task we may even be able to achieve a level 3 civilization on the kardashev scale or even outlast the end of the universe (see "The Last Question" short story by Isaac Asimov). We might have the potential to become perfect.

If you believe in the Judeo-Christian God then consider this: Maybe the New Life (paradise) promised by Jesus is actually an ultrafuturist human age of perfect happiness and unlimited life! Maybe by that age, God's children will have mastered everything in the multiverse and will have the ability to reconstruct the bodies of the pure spirits.

This is my speculation, we cannot know for sure. Either way, doesn't this look like a unifying goal for all?

Someone said Darkwins tackled the saying scripture is allegory, although pre-4th century this was a commonly understandable saying, which can be proved through many things. Could it be that Darkwins can't see patterns within scriptures and that he is devoid of logic? numeral patterns exist throughout the whole bible and basically all the scriptures. 3, 12, 7, and etc. Ouranos had 12 Children, Mohammad had 12 wives, Yeshua/Jesus had 12 apostles, in the Torah there is 12 tribes, in the revelation it says their is 12 fruits on the tree of life and it was commonly understood through Jewish mysticism that it was historically noted that the tree of life was allegoric for the complete mind.

Basically Mr Darkwins doesn't know that the point of scriptures is to be a catalyst to connect to ones own inner spiritual resources and that scriptures are not necessary once one begins to draw upon the inner source and gain gnosis. Why is it that reason stops when it comes to scriptures?

Although I do not avail myself of it often, from time to time I will descend underground and take the rail. It is most times crowded. Disturbingly, I see many people of varied descent who appear QUITE ill. They cough. They wipe their noses. They grab onto the hand rails. I NEVER touch anything on the train, wearing gloves if I have them, or using a handkerchief as a guard against touching any exposed surface. My friend Bitsy says I am being just like Howard Hughes. She doesn't seem at all concerned about germs on the train. She sits down and all I can do is imagine the unspeakable bacteria clinging to her clothes. I won't sit down. I am not a worrier about germs. I have a cleaning woman who comes in 3 times a week, which certainly isn't excessive. I simply do not relish the idea of contracting bird flu from those people who don't fully know about proper hygiene. Do you cover your hands before touching exposed surfaces on the train or bus?

So I have had this argument:

basically, someone will say "homosexuality is evil because of Leviticus 20:13 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11", and i will reply "ok, well, then you should not cut your beard because of Leviticus 19:27 and we should kill all nonChristians because of Deuteronomy 17:2 and 2 Chronicles 15:13", in which this person usually replies "no, those aren't true any more. it was a different time back then and now God doesn't expect us to follow those rules..."

Ok. So if someone quotes from Leviticus 20, and I quote from Leviticus 19, why is chapter 19 nullified?

How do right wing crazy nutjobs know which quotes to get mad about and write on their crazy protest signs, and how do they know which ones they can ignore? Where is the documentation for this?

Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”
Sahih Bukhari V6B61N577:
I heard the Prophet saying, "In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection."
Bukhari [4:52:177]: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him!"


Now, some muslim just told me that muslims love the Jews and venerated them?

And oh yes, if Moses (recognised by the muslims) brought the Jews into Israel, why are the muslims refusing the Jews a place at Israel today???
