Why wouldn't you look up when you pray towards heaven rather than towards hell?

I am 16 years old and was baptised as a Catholic as a baby but was never taught anything about my religion. How can I tell if this is the right religion for me? And if its not how can I find a religion that fits my beliefs? where do I start?

I had a question deleted on R&S!!! And here I thought I'd never get noticed...

Deleted Question: I've been getting pissy here lately?

Question Details: ...and I want to apologize to any and all of the loving, accepting Christians here for that. You know who you are - Christians who don't condemn others for having different beliefs, or no religious beliefs at all. I sometimes forget that you are here, and I'm sorry if I've inadvertently insulted you by lumping you into any wide-sweeping generalizations about Christians. Will you accept my apology?

Bobbie - well, I'm going to take a nap, and see if it improves my attitude. ;)


***!!!!! Wow, the only other questions I've ever had deleted were from raids on other Y!A sections. I finally got one deleted that I asked in R&S!!

So, do I now get to be part of the R&S "BIG TIME"? Do I get some sort of prize?

*giggles*

Matthew 13:10-17

Saying one thing and meaning another, is veiled allegory. In the New Testament we find the sayings of Jesus in veiled allegory. The same is used in Freemasonry, to conceal from those, except to whom the teachings rightly belong, the mysteries of Speculative Science; and then only to them that has the desire to enter its cavern in search of the jewels hidden there.

The WBTS writes in 'Beliefs and Customs that Displease God' that "Jesus did not die on a cross. He died on a pole, or a stake. The Greek word translated "cross" in many Bibles meant just one piece of timber. The symbol of the cross comes from ancient false religions."

The 'Kingdom Interlinear' reads on pg. 1155: "There is no evidence that the Greek word "stauros" meant a "cross" such as the pagans used as a religious symbol for many centuries before Christ to denote the sun god. ... There is no proof to the contrary."

HOWEVER, Justin Martyr, who lived from 100 - 165 (and who many believe was taught by Paul), wrote:

"Moses first exhibited this seeming curse of Christ’s by the signs which he made. ... When the people waged war with Amalek, and the son of Nave (Nun) by name Jesus (Joshua), led the fight, Moses himself prayed to God, stretching out both hands, and Hur with Aaron supported them during the whole day, so that that they might not hang down when he got wearied.

I dont believe in it, actually many people who right stories about evolution cant even give you a single ex. on how its real, they say stuff but then switch topics, so how can you believe that nothing made nothing
but you cant believe are great god didnt create nothing from something?
i love god and i believe he created you

I dont believe we evolved from moneys
"2 horses may produce a horse of a different color but they will never produce anything but a horse"
Two horses together will never produce anything but a HORSE, it will never change
"How does evolution ex. mercy, charity, and caring? If evolution is true, the driving force of nature is "survial of the fittest." Those less able to compete are destined to die. Any attempt to rescue these "less competitive" people would be against the most fundamental force of nature."
Taken from the book "why does god's creation include death and suffering"

I dont believe in evloution and i never will.

"I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy." (Jer. 13:14) "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling."

Simple question...I'm just wondering about how far Christians would go?

Do you consider a drunken kiss cheating?

What if you're not 'technically' together?

Which party, if it involved your 'significant other', would you be upset at more? Your 'significant other', or the other person?

What if the other person was your s.o.'s best friend, and lives with you and your s.o.?

What if the same thing happened before you thought you were in love? Is it different if you thought it was 'okay' back then, but now it's not 'okay'?

Sorry... this weekend was very eventful... and I'm very confused.

Being an Atheist or loving Yoko Ono? ;)

Deke told me I was going to hell for loving Yoko, lol!

C'mon Deke, everyone knows that Jack is a man of considerable taste and stylishness. Is not my endorsement of Yoko enough to assure avoidance of hell for those of us who appreciate the artistic accomplishments of the brilliant Ms. Ono?

I just know I'm going to get a lot of harrassment for this one, lol!

-The deceased was an army veteran, fought for our country .
-The deceased was found out to be gay.
-The church cancelled the funeral after they found out the deceased was gay....because they were afraid that they would be singing gay songs and showing pictures of men kissing.
-The song that was sang was Amazing Grace.
-The pictures shown had no gay content.

If the church has a written policy about whose funerals to allow and whose not to, feel the church had every right to refuse to host the funeral in the beginning. However, after accepting the "booking" should not be allowed to cancel. I feel this was mean and cruel to do the family.

Would the church have refused to host the funeral had the person been Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, Atheist...or some other group they do not agree with?

How messed up are our churches anyway? What about honoring this person for being a veteran?

Are churches so blinded by hate that they forget about compassion? Is this of God?

I consider myself an athiest, although I guess I should say I'm spiritual. Though I don't believe in the Christian God, I do believe in some sort of higher power and in reincarnation.

What do you believe happens to you when you die? NonChristians only, please?
