Society & Culture - 25 May 2007

I've been wondering alot lately. What happens when we die, I'm Catholic, and just starting to become one, but what if all of it is a lie, I don't want to go my whole life, and then find out it was all for nothing....I know that's why we have faith, but could you imagine if the world found out the Bible was just a book, nothing holy, it was fake....the world would go crazy seeing how we've believed are whole lifes in something that's not true.

What do you guys think?

You'd probably need to be Catholic or Christian to know this!

After all, you must purify your flesh.
Doesn't it say in your book to pluck out your eye if it causes you to sin.
You christians are in violation of your own bible!
How do you expect people to trust you when you don't follow your own rules.
I demand that you keep your idiotic thoughts to yourself.
Please try to think this time.
At least I went to college, what did you do?

This is assuming that we don't kill ourselves first. In the vastness of the universe, it is insane to think that we are the most intelligent life. Look at our behaviour, we obviously are not that smart.
Again, try to imagine the immensity of the known universe. Our brains cannot even begin to fathom the distances involved, and the amount of matter out there.
Look at this, read about it, and tell me that we are the most intelligent life....with a straight face!

Will religious people give in to logic?

Or other similar charity. Like the heart association or even to help abused animals. Do they believe that giving money to rich people will get them into heaven?
That always suprised me. Why do they give to those people who do not good and just get rich?

considering that the story is set in Caesarea, a Gentile area loyal to Rome, and Jesus is obviously claiming the ability to cast out the Roman occupiers?

How did that turn out?

Would "thank you for not killing him/her altogether" be appropriate?

What's with the fanaticism? The suicide bombings? beheadings? Veiling up a woman to the point of asphyxiation? And what's with hating the Jews? I really want to understand why the hate and violence? Will we ever be able to share common ground or just have to see who can kill more of the other? And is that truly in line with the glory of God? For non-Muslims, please don't give any political correct crap, that's not an answer. For moderate Muslims, please comment on your Muslim brethren who's activism is death to America, israel or the self. If I don't get it-please, help me understand.

I've never really understood why God would give free will then damn you to hell if you did not do what he wants. I think of God as all loving but this sounds pretty cruel to me. I can't marry the two. It makes God sound like a tyrant. Also does anybody know anything about the devil being created in religious texts in the 13th century? Someone told me this once and just wondered if it were true.

*I'm not referring to anything on yahoo answers because I'm not talking about questions people ask and the answers people give. I mean when people give their opinions on certain subjects when nobody asked them. When they feel the need broadcast it to everyone as the truth and get others to believed when it's not based of fact.

I have a professor. He is really a goof professor, but he has something against Christians, particularly Catholics. I've had teachers like this before. I usually just let them spill their hearts out and avoid confrontation; however, this teacher actually will ask students specifically, for instance he’ll ask: "Johnny, are you a Christian." Then he will define what a Christian is, and if Johnny disagrees then he says: "You are not really a Christian you just have never questioned what you were told to believe.” Now I really don't mind if a professor doesn’t like a political party, religion, and so on, but I do have a problem when one gets personal. He told one student that he really doesn't worship God, but only the God of himself. Whether one believes it is true or not is irrelevant. I would not mind if he had said: “people in general only….” It bothers me that he gets personal. The other day I think he noticed my cross, and I’m afraid he might have it out for me. I’m pretty soft spoken, and I’ve only gotten A’s from him. I don’t want to rock the boat. I just want to know the proper way to deal with this without making a big deal of it.
Additional Details

One friend told me to just deny being Christian, but I don't want to lie or think I should have to. Any advice?

It is a fact of life that every person has dreams of evil intent.
So tell me christians, does your imaginary friend forgive you in your dreams?
Please be honest!
I am in no mood to hear your drivel.
