Do you feel that, despite your lack of beliefs in the religious elements, you might derive moral theories from a church sermon??

Does your religion incline you to a particular party or candidate?

Does your religious leader endorse a candidate to you?

Is the religion of a candidate a major reason why you would or would not vote for them?

Jean Calvin labored to form a Salvationist doctrine that eliminated the need for the orthodoxy of the Church creating a coherent alternative to Luther’s form of state Catholicism and changing the Gospel, faith and practice of the orthodoxy of Catholicism. Essentially, Zwingli and Calvin accomplished a syncretic blend of Secular Humanism and Christianity creating a church devoid of even some of the essentials of faith and practice taught by Christ and the apostles. It was a departure from orthodoxy towards a religion where God serves man rather than man serving God, and reducing Christ to just a man who did not perform His miracle of the Eucharist and is really not present with His Church as He promised. His flesh does not profit us with eternal life as Jesus taught in John 6 but it is our carnal beliefs that we can trust instead of the faith we receive from His Spirit. These Reformed teachings are the doctrines of men and oppose the teaching of Christ, the apostles and the Church.

Help! I know that in order for sin to be forgiven, (I have a doozie) you have to confess, repent, ask for forgiveness and then walk away from that sin. Is there anything Biblical (with citations please) that requires that I confess the sin to anyone other than God? I know that my sin is ultimately against Him and adds struggles to my walk with him. But, it is at least on some level also against another person here on earth. Can anyone tell me if I can be truly forgiven without sharing my sin with this other person, keeping in mind that sharing it will surely create heartache? Also... how about my own feelings of despair over my transgressions? I understand that guilt is there to show us that we have gone against God's wishes for us, but I am acutely aware of that, what do I do now? Thanks!

I'm travelling to a wedding next week, and it's costing me about $600 to get there. I don't want to show up empty handed, but really, does anyone expect a gift from out-of-towners who are already out of pocket? Or does anyone have good, inexpensive suggestions for a gift that don't look completely tacky? Thanks!

I do not deny that Protestants have some truth. Certainly Christ is present in protestant worship in a Spiritual sense but He taught that we are to receive Him in His corporeal sense as well. He went further to teach us that it is necessary for us to participate in the Mass and actually receive His Body and Blood to have eternal life. Think about the teaching of St. Paul where he said that we must discern the Body of our Lord before receiving His body and Blood. If it is not real, how can we discern something that only is symbolic or a representation of His Body? If it is not real, does not the penalty of death or of sickness become severe and senseless? It is my opinion, based on Scripture alone, that recognizing the real corporeal presence of Christ in the Eucharist is the mark of the true Church and that it is His Body and Blood that bestows upon us the grace to endure to final salvation to eternal life.

I was inspired to ask this question by the intelligent statement of an answerer that many devout atheists and agnostics actually become religious about being non religious. So here's the quote. What do you think?

"That which desacrilizes a given reality, itself in turn, becomes the new sacred reality."

For example, I think religions are a from of brainwashing, and I many times said that Christians are brainwashed.
That is my opinion, should I avoid saying that, and pretend that I do not think they are brainwashed so that nobody gets offended ?
isn't it being an hypocrite if I we do not speak our mind?
Someone might say it is not tactful, how can you convey the same thought without using the word brainwashed then?
