Society & Culture - 1 July 2007

I just read an interesting article discussing the problem with some priests and the things they did with children. People naturally search for answers and according the sources I will give it is due to the satanic and sexual imagery they are bombarded with from within the church itself. While I like a good conspiracy do you think this has any validity?

Here is the article:

God creates and Jesus, being the right hand witnesses the creations. In fact, he is the word as the Bible attested.

My question is how do we fit in the picture as co-creators?

Do you have the answer in this puzzle(how we are all included)?

Whatever your religion, belief or faith..... in an average week, do you spend more time on Yahoo Answers, or more time focusing on your spiritual/ religious faith?

Will it be after or before the Rapture?

If you could, please provide scripture to support your answer.

If you are an Atheist or Non-believer etc, you are free to answer but Please don't give me an answer telling me "It won't happen, because God isn't real" Please, I ask out of respect. Please give me an answer that would support my belief out of what you hear from other Christians. Thank you :D

I mean, it's obviously impossible, and NO ONE can do it. Anyone who believes they are psychic always patronise too, calling people non-believers etc. If you think you are psychic, what colour hair have I got? See? You can not answer because psychic ability and impossible. Don't tell me the crap about fortune tellers either. They use what is called cold reading. Look it up on Wikipedia. Now try to convince me psychic abilities exist.

What do you think of the quote?

""Islam has given me all the answers to y questions, I am at home witht he universe. I am at peace and content. I have my guiding light to follow- Allah. I seek no more than to continue to be guided by Allah and to surrender wholly to His will. This has the effect of ushering one above pomp, idols and intermediates. You only do what pleases allah and that frees you from wordly demands."

I.A. Patel.

Islam the choice of thinking Women."

We rarely hear (well, in the West) that other Vishnu's avatars are worshipped like Krishna/Rama. Is there a reason to that?

I loved the way the 2 inbred half-wits couldn't even remember a few words without using crib sheets at the concert yesterday. Not surprising when one manages to lose a machine gun, and the other has someone else to do his exams for him.

And to think some people actually wanted these twits to lead men into battle.

Or do you hear more about the prime minister? See, I am from teh United States and we always hear about the President. (or the upcoming election) Which one do you hear more about because I know the Queen isn't fully involved in your government. I bet you have heard a lot aboutv a prime minister becasue Gordon Brown was just elected. That was even on our news channels.

Were you forced to convert, or did you choose to convert?

Personally, I started to study religions at the age of 14. I started out as the trolls, looking for anything bad. But I found that for every bad thing, there was a good thing. And the bad things were put into context when one thought about them. I am 23 now, soon to be 24 God willing, and I am still learning more and more everyday. The more I learn, the stronger my faith grows. And the propaganda I have seen helps to strengthen it, because I actually look at the sources and read everything around the one verse they use. In all cases, they purposely only quoted half of a verse or tried to make it look like it was meant for one thing only.

What is your story? I'm very interested in hearing. And where can I get those free little Islamic books of stories of converts? My step sister who is also a convert got them but I haven't had a chance to ask her where she got them.

I'm a Christian and for defending the country against enemies. But, it seems that a lot of Christians are way too hawkish when it comes to pre-emptive attacks of foreign countries.

Jesus said that we should love our enemies and forgive them or else we can not recieve forgiveness.

You can slate islam all you want, but islam is stronger and the publicity from these attacks will only encourage more people to find out about islam and convert. Just like 9/11, 7/7 and Madrid.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in every European country.

This question is for everyone who makes their decision logically instead just following on whatever said. If you believe in god please tell what make you believe in god? and if not tell us what is the reasoning behind it.
May be we all can benefit from each other's understanding of god and religion.
