My pastor tells me that God created the earth and heaven around it. And there is no E.T. I was wondering why God created the universe so large. Couldn't God create just a solar system? That might have been enough. Why did God create such a large universe with galaxies far far away? Does God mean for us to travel there? For just a backdrop, universe seems too large. What do you think?

And who decides which we can pick and choose to obey and which to dispense with?

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished" (Matthew 5:17-18).

- Persecute the unbelievers.
- Stop Scientific research to the limit that suits their beliefs.
- Kill scientists, poets, artists... burn their research papers,etc.
- Burn witches on stake in public.
- Stone the adulterers.

I believe that there is a higher power, but I do not see him as the "big guy in the sky". I pray regularly, but not to the christian form of god- but rather to simply just a higher power. I find myself confused, as my family has in recent years become very active within the christian community. I feel like I would have to deny my own beliefs in order to attend church or the like, as I do not believe in the bible as written (but appreciate it as a piece of literature with SOME wonderful lessons to pull from, like aesop's fables or something).
I am curious as to the opinions of others opinions.
NOTE: I am not looking to be preached to, but instead, I am looking foward to hearing people's OBJECTIVE opinions and personal experience.

I'd class myself as an atheist.

But what about ghosts? If I were to lock you up in complete darkness in the dungeon of Edinburgh Castle, would you be scared?

If you believe in ghosts then you have to believe in souls ... there's no other option. So where do souls come from?

I have my own answer for that, but I want to see what other people say.

I recently asked a question regarding which communities in the U.S. are best for atheists to live in and got some good answers - EXCEPT for those from a couple "Christians". WHY are Christians so conceited and un-accepting of other belief systems or life-styles? Don't they realize that they're NOT making a good impression or winning converts (at least not among intelligent free-thinkers) with their smug attitudes???

If something happens in infinite time and it appears random, as in, we haven't found a way to prove it was meant to happen other than it did, does that really make it random or are we just missing some of the evidence to prove it was not random?

American Christians and Jews are not supposed to pray in the work place, yet some Detroit car plant has put in washstands for Muslim workers to wash their feet before prayer time, according to their customs, and allow practioner of this religion prayer time at work. Muslim taxi cab drivers can deny rides to anyone if they are carrying alcohol (even unopened) or people with dogs even if they are blind. Alcohol is considered "bad" and dogs dirty by their customs. ILLEGAL Immagrants are swarming our country and demand rights and free medical, food, ect...
We LEGAL AMERICANS Asian,Black,Hispanic, White, are told we must respect other peoples rights yet ours are being stopmed into the ground, how far must WE bend?

As far as being gay/lesbian/BI goes, some people believe they were BORN gay & that it isn't a choice. But I hear how someone says they can turn a straight person out. I thought that it was based on your life experiences how you turned out to be.

More people tithe to a small group of leaders. I keep seeing huge churches built on my city's most expensive real estate. I see the ministers in restaurants (most fat and all vain) spending lavishly. Is this the way Jesus would have wanted His Church?

Now that i have your attention and your Knickers are all twisted up, let me explain:

A traditonal coven is made up of 13 participants for the 13 moons of a year. This has been the tradition since the 1920's.

However, if God is all knowing and new this would be, why did he send his Son to hang out in a coven working magick? 12 desciples and a high priest working magick and holding gatherings... sounds like a coven to me.

Was Jesus the High Priest of His Coven?
