If mormons claim to be christian therefore monodiest(ONE GOD) how can you believe that if you lead a good mormon life and follow all the laws and strictures and rules when you die you then become gods of your own planets with all of your spirit family with you?? You can't believe you'll become a god if you are mono-diest. I just don't understand this.

With each passing day what we considered to be supernatural things can be explained by a rational scientific answer. Love one of the things thought to be mystic and unexplainable is nothing more than chemical reactions. Even faith has its origin. They've singled out a gene responsible for faith and explained that it helped us to bond and unify and therefore give us more chance to survive. Even the sense of something mystical or supernatural can be explained by certain reactions in the brain. So my question as agnostic is if science explains most things, why do you still cling to the spiritual ? Is it psychological ? Or has something happened that gives you faith. Please don't say how religion has turned your life around because that can happen appart from a god/supernatural force

I have not been searching for this but have stumbled upon the distinct simularities of ancient mythology and religion to be the same stories retold throughout the ages with only minor differences in regional origin befitting to the facts. Could there be only one Religion? Could there be only losses in translation by way of mouth and interpretation? I am convinced that as in our world today stories are manipulated to fit the situation at hand and are more over politically motivated and lose the truth to benifit the one reciting and for which reason they recite it.

I believe that for an act to be truly righteous, it must serve God. Because according to the Bible, all the acts of an unbeliever are ultimately condemned, and have no future eternal rewards.
What do you believe, and why?

I was meditating and I got to a clear, incredibly calm state where I just ceased to exist apart from in the things I was hearing around me. If a bird sang I WAS that bird, if the wind blew I WAS the wind. Moment to moment I was not me but the things around me. I was in such incredible peace and so connected to the ONE. I was not on any drugs or drink. It is hard to describe in words the state i was in.
The thing is this was years ago and I've felt an equally opposite disconnection and dark depression from around this time, equally hard to put into words.
Are we not supposed to feel these experiences?

Religious experts insist that God needs nothing and noone. I am no expert, but I have concluded that if God was perfect and anything he created had perfect intentions and were created as intended (Even Satan was created as intended for God created him and wanted him to follow his heart and thats what Satan did, because he would not force anyone or anything to do anything) he would have been labeled a dependent for even creating one single thing. Since God has the desire to create things, this means that God is not independent. He created them because he would not be satisfied without their creation. Something, some urge that bothered him so bad that he needed to take action had greater power than him. Me for example, he would not have created me if he did not NEED me. He is perfect, he doesnt create for fun.He can not live without humans and angels. He HAD to create them, for without them, he would never get to where hes trying to go with all of existance. Ultimately, God is DEPENDENT.

I've had the Holy Ghost before and have spoken in tongues. My friends of different religions do not believe in those things. I explain the feeling but they seem to have closed ears. I do not get upset with them but wonder if what I am doing is just a figment of my imagination?

Now I'm not trying to be mean, or anything and respect everyone's right to hold his or her personal beliefs. But it seems to me as an athiest you would not have a religion and/or spirituality and therefore why would you even bother hanging out in that section? Do you really think you are going to convince a believer to give up their deep seated beliefs or are you there just to pick a fight. Again, I don't want to be mean, I just want to know. Thanks.

What do you think the key element is that attracts the oppisite sex to each other? Like for example a boy attracted to a girl who is in a bikini. What is it that we find so attractive to the oppisite sex. I know this may sound weird but just think about it. Dont get me wrong, I am a total straight dude, I love girls. But am just wondering what exactly is it that we find so attractive to the oppisite sex. What do you think?

Think about it, you were created you, I was created I. You like the things you like, I like the things I like. Why was it that 2/3 of the angels didn't rebel and 1/3 did? How was this possible? Afterall, the information presented to all of the angels in heaven were the same, yet there was a division in heaven of all places. How can there be a division like that, unless some angels were doomed from the start. Doomed to not be able to perceive God's perfection. I simply cannot understand it. Even if you said they had free will to rebel, it means nothing. From this I have deturmined that it is impossible for life to be fair. We all play the roles we have been given, yet we don't even know they are roles, when they really are.
