Society & Culture - 31 August 2007

our man Darth Cheney received his "package" in the mail.... we have yet to receive a full report on the total "eye opening" experience that followed.....

We wonder what the outcome will be??
Yes, Vegemite - do you think it's the single most "clarifying" spiritual experience of R&S for this week?

(Reposted since no one has yet. With the exception of the guy who was playing pokemon. No one has provided anything that isn't easily refutable yet.)

Please provide your evidence. I wish to know. Yes I will research it. Yes I will listen.

However, if your answer is thermodynamics then please move along you don't understand thermodynamics. If your answer is something about god said X then please move along as that is not evidence. If your answer is statistically unlikely hood then please explain why people win the lottery. Lastly, the magnetic field does not indicate it is permanently decaying. It goes through ups and downs and that is evident by the newly created sea floor. Covered under Oceanography.

I request kindly that anyone who believes doesn't answer this. I want the silence to be deafening

Are there any historical records or anything about a human male doing such wondrous things? I mean he did some pretty great stuff and that would probably be on record somewhere yes?

gospel of his own?

And if you think these two Gospels are the same, maybe it would be good to read a story that highlights those many differences.... http://gospelenigma.com

So why has the Original Kingdom Gospel about a "hidden treasure" been overlooked in favor of Paul's sacrifice for sin Gospel?

The FSM came to me in a dream list night. I don't remember what He said, but I think He was blessing me for my continued belief in Him.
But today I am having lasagna and feeling guilty. The FSM said it was okay to partake of His body, but eating His children out of a box is making me feel bad. I guess I need someone to tell me its okay, and that theFSM would approve. Thank you.

A center for Jewish, Egyptian, Oriental, Roman, Greek cultures that revolved around a hugh Library which once existed here. Did you know the teachings of Jesus TAUGHT doctrines of SEVERAL, not just the Jewish FAITH ?

What about someone that isn't sure if God exists, but is open to the possibility, and prays for God to provide some type of certainty? According to many of your answers on my last question, you suggested that one must be repented and have given themselves over to God before prayers can be heard.

If he KNOWS the future....he knows what He will do as well. So...no matter what he does, he is predestined to make that choice-he knows he makes it. He is UNABLE to make any choice, because he DOESN'T. Richard P. Feynman's experiments with hypnotism led to an interesting conclusion...at every step of the hypnotism, Feynman thought he could break away, but he never did, and when he finally tried he found it too uncomfy and and didn't.

If you don't do something it means you can't. You can't, not only because of inability of your body, but because the conditions cause you to chose the other alternative.

God can't break away from his decision, because he knows what he will do. He is predestined.

Isnt there an inherent logical flaw in an all-powerful, all-knowing God?

Why is it that they all look the same?
Trends in general are annoying...you'd think that people who "search within themselves to find themselves" would have more of a sense of self.
I'm not saying I dont believe in this but any psychic I've met looks exactly the same as the last.
I know of one wiccan who dresses in what makes her comfortable and she does like bright colors....

If you truely believe, why bother with earthly trends? Why go so far out of your way to look so much the same?

And why is it that when any of the aforementioned people "find their true religion/belief" they go from jeans and a t-shirt to floor length skirts and beads OR go from Brunette to Black?

I read a story about someone who killed a woman and her baby because he said that God told him that she was leading others away from him and it was his will that she be "removed".
Do you believe someone like this goes to hell, even though they thought they were only obeying God? Also, how do you distinguish between people who are delusional, and other people who have claimed to have corresponded with God, like certain prophets in the bible?

Christians promote the 10 commandments, but has the commandment against graven images or any likeness of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth, or beneath the earth been done away with?

If it has been done away with, where does it say that? If it hasn't been done away with, what does that mean about crucifix's or anything with Jesus on it? Or what about statues of Mary? Or any paintings or statues of angels? What about the paintings in the cistine chapel? Or the pictures that they put in Bibles? How about nativity scenes or ressurection pictures?

This goes for all of you-Christians, Buddhists, atheists, whatever. Why do you have to argue so much? Why can't you just let everyone believe what they believe?

As if to try to persuade them to change their minds about whatb they belief or don't believe? Isn't it really just one big waste of time as at the end of the day there will be people who believe however they feel like believing? Now before anybody attacks me I'm not saying that all people whether believer or non believer do that just some.

Christ clearly started calling him Lord,Lord meant nothing--it was only obeying that mattered--not judging--treating all as you would like to be treated.That's what the teacher taught--why do some Christians disobey daily--& still call themselves Christians???
