What is your thinking on his statement:

"science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind."

[lame = fractured, broken, not whole or in part]

If you disagree, why?

Is it someone who does everything by the book and wants the government to force everyone else to have to live laws by the religious text? I hear it a lot never really paid much attention to fundies but I am curious.

if 2 people commit to loving one another for the rest of their life, does that not constitute? Where does it say in the bible that man shall not marry another man? And where specifically does it say a man shall not have sex with another man within the bounds of marriage? I believe this is another area that has not been fully read into context.

who was difficult to understand?
I'm from Texas, and I once met someone from North Carolina and I was amazed at that wonderful accent but could not understand a lot of her conversation. BTW, my favorite person in the world is from North Carolina so I'm not bashing the accent. Also, people immediately recognize I'm from Texas when I go to other states so I know I have the Texas twang.

I have an experiment for us all to take part in. Sceptic or not, please join in.

Have a look at the latest horoscopes, and see what comes up.

First supply your birth date

Then your star sign

this is where the horoscope comes into it:

Look at ALL of them, and supply which one relates most to you today.


I've noticed a common theme on mine, and I want to know if anyone else gets this:

DOB: 13/09/83
Sign: Virgo
Closest match to my life is always Libra

Never fails me at all. Always Libra.

Have the Canadians done something wrong or is it jealousy?

2007-08-18 03:35:15 · 16 answers · asked by Anonymous in Other - Cultures & Groups

A extraterrestrial species, hundreds or thousands of years more advanced than we are, would possess technology that would appear to us to be not the result of applied science but entirely supernatural, pure magic.
OR
A supernatural event of world shaking proportions, occurring in a faithless time when only science is believed to have the power to work miracles, might appear to be the work of an extraterrestrial species hundreds or even thousands of years more advanced than we are.

In my opinion the government is covering up unexplained phenomenons for reasons only they can fathom.
If God does truly exist and does return most will probably perceive it as a alien invasion.
Being Agnostic gives me the tendency to seek answers from all sources and of these two paragraphs I mentioned above the second seems more likely to fit into revelations, it also worries me to no end!

Thanks for your thoughts!

just Christianity or ALL faith-based religions? I usually only see athiests bashing Christians. I just wonder if they bash Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc.
Also, do athiests not believe in anything they can't see, for instance ghosts, UFO's, yoga, global warming, etc.?

I did a little test, just to see how clear God's word is.

"And the duke has said, "leaves he has to there a scope between the water and separate water of water." Thus the duke has done the scope and the water under the scope of water above its separated. And she was thus. The duke has the scope "sky" mentioned and there same, and day suffered of morning the second."

That's a randomly picked Bible quote. I entered it in Babelfish, and translated it into French, and after that back into English.

Either Babelfish is rather bad (which I don't believe!!), or God's word is rather difficult to translate.

Can you guess which verse it is?

I seem to gravitate towards anything with cats. I have a cat Christmas picture frame (with a picture of my baby girl), a wooden and ceramic cat, a painted rock of a Tabby cat asleep, a iron cast cat, several cat pillows from craft shows, and a picture of a cat with birds/rabbits in my living room!

I theorise that I can feed 5000 people.

Not on two loaves and five fish (or whatever it was), but on just ONE SLICE OF BREAD.

Does this mean I am Jesus?

If marriage is no longer defined as between man/woman, what's to stop it from further being defined as man/2women or 3women or man/dog??? or should all that be allowed too? Tell me what you think.

I am very much for gay rights and think gay couples should be able to do something other than "marriage" in order to obtain the same rights as married people.

I don't think gays will improve the institution of marriage b/c I know lots of gay people who cheat and are just a promiscuous as the straight ones. So please don't give this as an answer.

What do you think?

Allah (SWT) said: "Those that say, when afflicted with calamity...

'Inna lil-lahi wa inna ilay hi raji'oon' (Surah Al Baqarah 2:156)

English meaning is: To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.

...They are those upon whom (descend) blessings from their Lord and Mercy. And they are the ones that are guided." (Surah al Baqarah 2:157)

Umm Salama (RA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) saying: "There is not a slave afflicted with a calamity who then says:

"Inna lil-lahi wa inna ilay hi raji'oona, allahumma'jur nee fee museebatee, wa akh lif lee khay ran minha" (Reported by Muslim, and is #114 in The Authentic of Good Sayings)

English meaning is: We are for Allah, and we are, to Him, returning. 'O my ilah grant me reward in my calamity, and cause it to be succeeded with good consequence for me.

... except that Allah would grant him reward in his calamity, and would succeed it with good consequences for him." (Muslim)
