Do you truly believe that we have free will? If it is so important to have a religion, does that negate the free will?

You may pray silently by yourslf before class. You just can't make a big scene or get everyone to do it. I think that is fair and make sense to me. They claim we took God out of their schools. How did we do that? We just mad it fair for people? I live in the south so the Christians down here get pretty crazy... If we should bring prayer to the aztec Gods? The God and Goddes? Ra or Isis? Your God doesn't have anymore proof either!

From Eastern religions (and probably in many other indigenous ones) comes the concept that opposites both define and complement each other.

What does this mean to you? What do you think of when you think about this?

My dad said that receptions should be planned for what the guests want. He went to a wedding a few years ago and they didn't serve alcohol, and he got angry because he thinks that the reception should be planned around what the guests want. Is this right? I thought this was the bride's day?

We actually got to see the Mona Lisa when it was on view at that time. Riding on the bus was so exciting. Later when my son and nephew went on their school trips, I'd volunteer to chaperone just to relive those moments. They kept singing green bottles on the wall! Yikes

It didn't post my question, or at least if it does it will be too late by now. OK, here is my question:

Christians, why do you hate atheists so much?

Are there any other Pagans out there that believe it doesn't matter where a rite or practice or prayer or whatever originated, but rather what it symbolizes to a certain person?

I use Holy Santos candles, a dream catcher by my bed, animal totems, gems- all kinds of stuff, and it all has certain meaning to me. Is there anyone else out there like this?

I believe that the differences and deficiencies are some of the stages that in make them to evolve spiritual, only that now the man this trying to make a perfect human being, try to create ways where if it can choose the color of the skin, hair, eyes, the height, rising without the illnesses that etc… If this human desire of perfection could geneticamente be diagnosised if to materialize, it will make to all lose sensible the complex pedagogical project of Deus.Pois without the differences we will not have learning and without learning it would not make but sensible to continue existing in this planet school. Soon, God would have that to recommence everything of new.

If God = Infinite (no limits or boundaries)
Then Infinite = everything
If God = Perfect (no flaws)
Then Infinite = Perfect
<><><><><>
God cannot be everything logically. Logic proof states that everything is all - perfect and imperfect, finite and infinite, and so forth.

Does anyone have a logical proof?

I do believe God is Infinite and Perfect. I believe man is finite and imperfect. Since I believe God is everything, that would include man even though the parts are not the whole. Is there a logical/mathematical way to state this?

This question was sparked by bigdaddyp's answer to my earlier question in the Philosophy section.

The Wiccan faith asks that we give "harm to none"...but does that mean sometimes harming someone to prevent greater harm to others later? Is this vengance...or is there another word for it?

I would appreciate views from all faiths...just try to give me a context or example, please.

There are a lot of Jw's out there who say they are not Jw's but follow Watchtower theology as well or better than people who claim to be Jehovah's Witnesses..

So my question is....Do you have to be baptized to call yourself a Jehovah's Witness?....If so, Why....and would a Christian have to be baptized to refer themselves as a Christian

Do you need to know the entire canon of the Superman comics in order to prove that Superman is not real?

Or am I to believe that Superman really was someone's only begotten son who was given to Earth to guard it from evil using his superpowers (he even died and returned) because I don't know what happened in frame three of Superman issue 89?

Social Security was 1 percent of a worker's wages up to $3000 per year? Business fought hard against the bill that passed in 1935, because they thought it would destroy initiative and discourage thrift. Based on where we are today, do you think they were right?

I guess I'm not really talking about global warming actually. I'm talking about the earth's ice age cycle...it sort of looks like the earth is headed for another one in the near future...so my question is....why would God do this? It will kill millions, if not billions, of people...maybe human life will even get wiped out completely....and if it goes in cycles, and happened several times before we were even created, why would he create us knowing this would happen anyway?? You have to admitt this could make anyone question God and his ways....what do you think?

I'd love to know if there's a name for people who do not have a religion but do belive in God and and that he interferes with human life and the laws of the universe and also belive in supernatural events (prophecy, miracles) and divine revelation prominent in organized religion, along with holy books and revealed religions that assert the existence of such things.

If someone believes in all the above gets asked about his religion, what would his answer be? Is there like a religious philosophy that is described by all of the above?
