Please include your religion in your answer to the following question:

If you could choose between these 2 (and only these 2) choices, which one would you pick and why?

A) To be immortal, but continue to age and become more and more feeble and dependant on others.

B) To die at a normal age and cease to exist completely

The higher, bigger, more real vision -perception -discernment of God you have, the more Godly you try to imitate His perfect nature in treating other humans? If you see "god" as a moody, vengeful savage; do you tend to act the same way to other humans?

"Like father, like son."

Is it really true still today that "no man has seen God" ? If you can not literally now see God with your physical eyes, can you actually Spirit discern Him in your mind and perceive Him in you ? -- as you a Spirit of God-led living soul here ?

If God is the Infinite Eternal Universal Holy Luminosity (Spirit Light) of endless love and care, and thus having no outside and no beyond, how can that be realized without the false concepts of mere pantheism, panentheism, panthelism, etc entering ?

Please share your view of God and Who or what He/She/They are to you in your personal God-conscious experiences.

Thank you.

Its a very normal occurance. Women tend to be more religious then Men. I wonder why. I asked a question regarding Peace and Unity and only Muslim and Jewist WOMEN answered and not Men.

I am so annoyed by this at times. People will spell God with a capital "G" but gods with a lowercase "g." I find that disrespectful as I always spell God and Gods with capital G's. I feel that shows that the montheist God (depending on religion) are superior to polytheist Gods. I even notice polytheists when referring to the Christian Deity spell it with an uppercase "G" but when it comes to their own Gods, they do not give them the same courtesy. I was always taught to spell this way and feel that it is due to monotheism that polytheism is somewhat undermined in this way.

I am just curious as to what religious people think.

"Teaching anything other than evolution to explain biodiversity is teaching religion. It requires that one deny not only findings in, but the very methods of, scientific endeavors as diverse as anthropology, genetics, biology, geology, physics, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and computer science."

Two thousand years ago, fornication was done in public.

One hundred years ago, Western Culture and piety were joined at the hip.

Now, vanity and sexuality are our primary social drivers. The people who have these traits consider themselves to be the lucky ones. Yet, theirs lives always seem to be filled with every kind of malady and malfunction.

We don't want our kids to see violent movies on planes, but we are indifferent about Viagra and Cialis invading every kind of media.

Is there something wrong with this picture?

The verse, from the New Testament, reads ``If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.''

I mean he either meant it or he didn't period.

Example.

"It is easier for a camel to pass throuhg the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven"

Generally all those rich Christians (who by Jesus's own words should be giving up all that they own to follow him or giving away half of what they own like Zaccheus) argue that Jesus helped them to get rich and that they shouldn't give away what they own or at least half of it.

Yet when Jesus says "No one can come to the Father except through/by me" (John 14.6) they interpret this literally and stick to it like glue.

What gives Christians the right to determine what to follow and what not to follow and to interpret the literal words of the so called son of god?

How many have given up all that they own to follow Jesus or at least half?

I think you are hypocrites if you haven't and not true followers of Jesus.

Here are some quotes, including ripping apart pregnant women:

Hosea 13:16 God promises to dash to pieces the infants of Samaria and the “their women with child shall be ripped up”. Once again this god kills the unborn, including their pregnant mothers.

1 Samuel 15:3 God commands the death of helpless "suckling" infants. This literally means that the children god killed were still nursing.

Psalms 137:9 Here god commands that infants should be “dashed upon the rocks”.

Leviticus 20:9 “For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.”

2 Kings 6:28-29 “And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.”

Aren't atheists brave, for chancing hell to live in a way that they find to be true? Aren't they brave for not cowering to a god? I don't understand where the charge of cowardice comes from.

I had a dream last night that was kinda scary?
In real life I met this guy named Bill, we dont really talk to much at the moment, just flirt a lot, he comes into where I work for lunch, and drops stuff, one day he said He gets really nervouse around me, then I started dropping stuff. any way I had this dream last night where we are inside this house and he kisses me. I have all the doors locked but all of a sudden something or somebody really horrible is trying to get in. I start rechecking the doors and windows to try and keep it out but I felt really terrified. can anybody help me with what this dream means? Thanks.

and please dont tell me to put this in a different section, I did, just want different opinions.

Here are the verses:

"So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin"

My question is this:
Isn't it comforting to know that even the apostle Paul struggled with sin on a daily basis? Obviously, this does NOT give us a license to sin at will.....it simply means that all Christians everywhere go through this daily.

I praise God for His grace.....that I am saved from sin eternally.

Or would you rather accept reality - that the only thing awaiting us is that we simply cease to exist?

If you believe that a god could exist at all then you have to acknowledge that you could have chosen the wrong one, or displeased the one you do believe in, and that your fate after this life is eternal agonizing torment. If you deny that, then you don't really believe what you profess to believe.

ok. what i want everybody to do, is give one reason for both believing in god and not believing in god. you have to give both. like what is the best reason you can think of. don't put anything hateful, cause all you have done is cause hate on yahoo answers. just give it a try.

example:
believe: because of all the truly good things that happen. like not just happy things or stuff like that. but like the miracles of life.


don't believe: when children die. i don't understand what kind of god, would let helpless babies die. for no reason and causet that much pain for the people of the lost one.
