a growing interest in the Pagan / Occult paths, isn it right to assume that traditional and conventional religions have failed miserably and are now becoming obsolete?

Is "god dead"/ no longer relevant in these modern times?

Or rather, can he create perfection at all? Afterall, the implication from christians is that only god is perfect.... and I'll agree that this world has nothing resembling perfection in it.... So why the freg doesn't it? Either god didn't want to make a perfect world (which begs the question of what such a choice was meant to achieve)... or couldn't....

But anyhow.... think of the implications if the christian god could and did make a perfect replica of himself.
I mean... all us folks on the athiestic end of the spectrum wouldn't even notice any difference..... but the religious folks would go totally nuts! ^_^

I am curious how many gay or lesbian people would be interested in actually adopting a child?

Personally I would not at this point, my daughter is19 and just moved out last summer to attend college so the empy nest thing is nice for us. If we had the opportunity say 10 years ago we would have adopted a child.

However what about you, would you adopt a child?

While for years I believed all this I have been questioning it lately.

Researching both the area of where the Church came from and the teachings of Bible alone have created more questions than answers.

I can see that the bible itself says that it isint the primary authority but that the Church and tradition is. Now I know people dont like to hear that but the bible says that.

As for the origins of the church Peter could have been the first pope, it says it in the bible. Its just confusing, there was no bible for the first 4 centuries yet the church flourished, in fact because of cost most bibles were not even avaiable for the next 1200-1300 years.

The church still flourished and was one church. As soon as people God the idea of taking tradition and historical interpretation away from the bible it all went nuts.

There are tons of bible churches all interpreting differently, some say only the unimportant parts but how do you define whats important or unimportant. Confussed

If it did not then why have JW's added it despite dire Biblical warnings about adding to or taking away from scripture. If removed from the NT an entirely different light is cast upon the role and deity of Jesus. Has a grave sin been commited? I need to know because I am a doubting Jehovahs Witness. If the name of Jehovah has been added where it should not exist then most of what I believe can be called into question. JW's please don't bother telling me to speak to the elders, Iv'e already listened to their version of why it has been added. If there is any historical evidence of it being present in 1st/2nd century documents, before the supposed great apostacy that seemingly removed it in the 4th century then I will stand repentant.

How is it possible that they all wrote pretty much the same story?

What is your opinion?



My opinion is, the origin of the English Bibles of today can be traced to a time when men, supposedly under the divine inspiration of God, first wrote the books of the Bible. Before the fourth century CE, there were more that 30 different gospels, some of which can be found on the Gnostic & Apocrypha page. Many were officially outlawed during the Council Nicaea in 325 CE and the Council of Laodicea in 364 CE.


These councils eventually agreed on what is now considered the "word of God", under the direction of Constantine, collating the ACCEPTED teachings into a single comprehensive book.

The ENTIRE bible that is declared to be the 'word of God' is only the word of the few men that attended the Councils of Nicea.

If so, why do you not follow it? Here are a few of my favorite rediculous quotes that are in a book that you base you beliefs on. Good old wholesome values...
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)
So, you are supposed to hate everyone. Nice.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:37-38)
Wait, no, you must love Matthew...
"And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death." (Exodus 21:17) "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he that cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him." (Leviticus 20:9)
So a bad son shall be put to death? I thought "thou shal not kill"? And your own son at that.

In the quran, surah 4:15 it says the women that are found guilty of lewdness(so vague a term) are to be confined to the house until death takes them, or until allah appoints a way for them.

The simple meaning of this is that they are not PUT to death, but UNTIL they die. So why are the "lewd" women killed?

Don't Catholics and Protestants both believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior? Don't they believe that God is Love and teaches us to love one another as He has loved us?

Where is all of this hatred coming from? Children are beaten because they are the 'wrong' religion. No wonders there are so many atheists in the world when this is the way Christians behave toward one another.
